Cement is a kind of substance with adhesive and cohesive properties, capable of binding solid particles together to form a dense and long-lasting concrete mass. Cement kinds other than those made mostly of lime are not used in civil engineering. In civil engineering, cements are used primarily to bind sand and aggregate particles together via a chemical reaction with water known as hydration. A combination was made by adding 2% and 4% by weight of sodium lauryl sulphate, a surfactant, to the weight of cement in order to increase the quality of the concrete. The workability, setting time, and strength of the concrete were evaluated using a battery of tests, including the Compressive Strength Test, the Initial and Final Setting Time Test, the Consistency Test, and the Slump Test. The concrete's workability was enhanced, and the amount of water needed was decreased, thanks to the inclusion of the surfactant. As a result, the concrete's compressive strength improved. Because the surfactant lowered the water's surface tension, less water was needed to make the concrete workable. So, adding a surfactant, like sodium lauryl sulphate, can boost concrete quality by enhancing its workability and compressive strength while decreasing the amount of water required.
