accelerator, to accelerate the curing process of the RCC.
 
Depends on the curing conditions (temperature, humidity, etc) and how soon it needs to be open to traffic
 
most engineers leave it up to the contractor as a means/methods item with the one exception of requiring that all accelerators be non-chloride.
 
Avoid calcium chloride... do you really need to speed things up?
