THE RHEOLOGY OF FRESH CONCRETE

This book provides information on the workability of fresh concrete. The authors discuss the application and extension of established rheological techniques to the measurement of workability in place of `ad hoc' empirical methods. They show that cement pastes behave according to the Bingham model at low shear rates. This fact combined with the fact that shear rates involved in the handling and placing of concrete are considerably less than those in the mixing process, is the probable reason why concrete itself also conforms closely to the Bingham model. On this basis the authors, drawing on practical experience, develop a practical method of measurement and control. (TRRL)
