Abstract: A total of thirty cube specim of Grade 40 concrete. A total of thirty cube specimens were specimens were ens were cast, cured in water at ambient temperature in the cast, cured in water at ambient temperature in the laboratory and subjected to various temperature laboratory and subjected to various temperature various temperature regimes before testing. . The CEMs were prepared at temperatures ranging from 8 to 36°C. Superplasticizer(SP) and air‐entraining agent(AEA) demand were evaluated forthe CEM mixturesmade with differentsupplementary cementingmaterial (SCM) and limestone filler types. Test results showed that the ambient temperature can significantly affect the SP and AEA demand, hydration kinetics, and compressive strength at 1 day.
