ACI SP-302:2015 is a collection of 37 papers presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Superplasticizers and Other Chemical Admixtures in Concrete. The conference took place in Ottawa, Canada in July 2015. The papers cover a wide range of topics related to the use and effects of chemical admixtures in concrete. Some of the topics discussed include the effect of clinker grinding aids on static yield stress of cement pastes, new additives to enhance slump retention, and the properties of a new type of polycarboxylate admixture for concrete. Other topics include the synthesis and characterization of different types of superplasticizers, the influence of temperature on superplasticizer performance, and the interactions between cement particles and grinding aids.
