Abstract
The paper presents the results of a research on the influence of plasticizing admixture based on modified polycarboxylates on the heat emission parameters of a hardening concrete mix prepared with the use of Portland cement. The admixture was applied in the amount from 0.5 to 4.0%. No influence of admixture dosing on the maximum temperature increase was noted. However, a clear correlation was obtained between the amount of admixture and the time of reaching the maximum temperature and the maximum rate of temperature increase.
