Abstract: A hydraulic composition comprising a water-soluble polymer in the form of a polyalkylene oxide derivative having a hydroxyl number of at most 50 KCH-mg/g in terms of terminal hydroxyl groups rendered hydrophobic, a surfactant having a weight-average molecular weight of at most 5,000, a superplasticizer, and a hydraulic powder, which can be endowed with high flowability, aggregate segregation resistance, and strength to remarkably improve the method of using concrete and the method of placing concrete and to thereby greatly enhance the far-reaching effect of eliminating noise pollution particularly in the production of concrete products and streamlining the production of the concrete products.
