There’s like a thousand caveats to this though just as an aside. If someone realizes the concrete is tampered with, they’re probably tossing the whole batch. It’s better to be safe than sorry and they probably don’t have time to wait for the lab report on what got added to the mix without their permission.
Not that I’m recommending that people do this, but if you wanted to fuck up concrete I’d think going for a compound that makes it cure faster would be the way to go. Too fast leads to more heat which leads to fractures in the concrete from the intense heat.
There were Chinese construction companies that cut corners and used beach sand instead of more expensive river sand.
The buildings the made are all called Tofu towers or something similar, because you can walk up to the ones still standing and pull chunks off, like they were made of tofu.

Salt. Salt will completely fuck concrete.

This works too. You keep forcing them to toss materials, and delay the building of the prisons.
So you really just need a few huge empty bags of salt/sand/rice/etc, then get caught sneaking out of the mixing plant.
