This book delves into the fascinating world of fresh concrete rheology, a field that is often overlooked yet crucial to understanding the behavior of this essential building material. The author explores the complex relationship between the composition of concrete and its flow properties, a relationship that has long been understood in a qualitative sense but lacks a precise mathematical description. Drawing on extensive experimental research, the book presents a detailed analysis of the rheological characteristics of concrete, using various rheological models to explain the observed behaviors. Through this analysis, the author proposes a physical interpretation of the parameters involved in these models, revealing the key role played by factors such as particle size, surface roughness, and the presence of water-reducing admixtures. The book concludes with a practical application of these findings, describing a modified slump test designed to provide a simple and inexpensive method for evaluating the rheological properties of concrete in the field. This exploration of the complex rheology of fresh concrete offers valuable insights for engineers, materials scientists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this fundamental building material.
