An additive composition has been formulated which accelerates the setting time, and also improves the compressive strength of Portland type cement, mortars and concretes. The additive composition consists essentially of a concentrated aqueous solution of calcium nitrate and a waste byproduct stream of a mixture of polyethanolamines (referred to as "triethanolamine bottoms") to which solution is added a minor amount of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt of a polyhydroxy aliphatic compound such as gluconic acid, or of lignosulfonic acid.
