@all.

Gypsum is added to INCREASE SETTING TIME (i.e. To prolong setting time) which means, DECREASE the RATE OF SETTING.

I think gypsum is inversely proportional to setting time so it decreases.

By adding gypsum to cement setting time of cement increases.

Gypsum is added to cement to decrease the setting rate of cement that is increase setting time.

Your answer is wrong. Gypaum is added to increase the setting of cement not to decrease it. For under water construction the quantity of gypsum is increased to increase the setting rate of cement.

When is gypsum added to cement?

Sumit said:   8 years ago
Why increase the setting time of cement adding gymnasium?

Thanks for posting this question.

Gypsym has to be added for to prevent the flash setting in cement.
