Abstract
Oil ash comprising carbon in an amount in the range of 60% to 89% is an effective set retarder in a cement composition. The oil ash prolonged the initial and final setting time of cement paste and retained the slump flow in concrete for a longer time than concrete without the retarder. Also, the addition of oil ash to cement marginally improved the compressive strength of concrete. The advantage of oil ash is that it can be used as a solid retarder of cement hydration to substitute for the conventional commercial retarding admixtures with a limited shelf-life.
