Abstract
Exothermic and hardening properties of 72 hours retarded bentonite cement slurry material to maintain installation time of the material for stress distribution produced by retarding admixtures was investigated. Through these investigations, it was confirmed that temperature rising of the material could not be observed during the retarded term, strength development could be recognized by temperature rising and the maximum temperature of the material and the retarded term and strength development after retardation could not be influenced by temperature difference of the slurry after mixing and by mechanical action. The retarded material has been smoothly applied to the execution time restricted construction of deep earth retaining wall.
