The rheology is an effective tool to characterize workability, consistency, flowability, and
predict stability, pumpability, shootability, pressure of formwork, multi-layer casting. This …

This study investigates the effect of steel fibres on the physical and mechanical properties of
Self-compacting concrete (SCC). Six mixes of steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete …

This paper describes the steps taken to develop self-compacting high and ultra high-
performance concretes with and without steel fibres. For the self-compacting concrete mixes …

Studying the rheological behavior of concrete, especially self-compacting concrete is vital in
the design and structural integrity of concrete structures for design, construction, and …

A double stage sequential optimization algorithm for finding the optimal fiber content and its
distribution in solid composites, considering uncertain design parameters, is presented. In …

Current meshless particle methods are able to simulate the flow of fresh concrete, but fail to
predict the segregation since fresh concrete is regarded as homogeneous fluid. This study …

Non-Newtonian flows are of great scientific interest due to their distinctive rheological
behaviour. Free-surface non-Newtonian flows are encountered in many environmental and …

Coarse aggregates increase inhomogeneity and alter rheological properties of self-
compacting concrete. In this work, the effect of coarse aggregates on self-compacting …

This research deals with the optimization of short fibers distribution in continuum structures
made of Fiber Reinforced Composite (FRC) by adopting an efficient gradient based …

In part I of this two-part paper, a three-dimensional Lagrangian smooth particle
hydrodynamics method has been used to model the flow of self-compacting concrete (SCC) …
