Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is attracting increasing interests worldwide due to
its superior mechanical properties and durability. Securing proper rheological properties can …

This article aims at the development of durable cement-based lightweight aggregate
composites, with a good balance between the thermal and mechanical properties. The …

This Thesis addresses an alternative design concept for Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC).
SCC is a special type of concrete with superior workability, which flows and compacts in all …

The admixtures influence the fresh properties of cement paste, which is a key factor in the
ink design for 3D printing applications. In this study, the mix contained superplasticizer and …

Foam concrete encounters a fundamental challenge in balancing lightweight and high
strength. Pore optimization is the key to address this problem. This study starts with rheology …

Recycled aggregate (RA) is the primary approach to treatment and utilization of construction
and demolition waste in China. During RA preparation, many finer powders with sizes …

This paper provides a general study on cement paste flow. Both mini-slump and Marsh cone
tests are used to evaluate the workability of fresh paste mixtures derived from self …

Owing to enhanced filling ability, self-consolidating concrete offers accelerated casting and
superior quality control during construction. However, its high fluidity and high placement …

This paper reports a method for estimating the rheological properties of ultra-high
performance concrete (UHPC) by applying a mini slump test that can be used easily on-site …

Because concrete and mortars both contain aggregate phase, it may be expected that the
trend of results obtained from mortar formulations should be similar to those of concrete or …
