Understanding the Rheology of Concrete
Author: Dr. Nicolas Roussel | Size: 28,61 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: Woodhead Publishing | Year: Jan, 2012 | pages: 384 | ISBN: 0857090283
Estimating, modelling, controlling and monitoring the flow of concrete is a vital part of the construction process, as the properties of concrete before it has set can have a significant impact on performance. This book provides a detailed overview of the rheological behavior of concrete, including measurement techniques, the impact of mix design, and casting.
Part one begins with two introductory chapters dealing with the rheology and rheometry of complex fluids, followed by chapters that examine specific measurement and testing techniques for concrete. The focus of part two is the impact of mix design on the rheological behavior of concrete, looking at additives including super-plasticizers and viscosity agents. Finally, chapters in part three cover topics related to casting, such as thixotropy and formwork pressure.
