The paper presents results of laboratory investigations of temperature change influence on CEM III/A 32,5 NW/NA portland cement paste setting start and end time. Experiments were performed on pastes of water-cement ratio equal 0,25 – 0,29; 0,35; 0,45; 0,55 at temperature equal 0°C, +5°C, +10°C, +20°C. Strong thermosensitivity of the tested cement pastes was clearly found, that was evidenced by increase of both setting start and setting end time. The empirical relations between the cement paste setting time and curing temperature and watercement ratio were established. ...
