Fresh concrete needs vibration to compact, fill the mould and reach a dense state. During
the compaction process, coarse aggregates (CAs) tend to settle, affecting the homogeneity …

The stability of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is not only the key performance controlling
the workability, but also has an important impact on its mechanics and durability in the later …

One of the most notable breakthroughs in concrete technology was the development of ultra-
high performance fiber-reinforced concrete. In this study, for evaluating conventional …

Aggregate size distribution is one of the most important parameters affecting the strength
and workability of concrete. Therefore, estimating aggregate size distribution from hardened …

This book introduces fundamentals, measurements, and applications of rheology of fresh
cement-based materials. The rheology of a fresh cement-based material is one of its most …

Construction firms face considerable challenges in relation to finding cost-effective formwork
solutions to meet increased construction demands. Project stakeholders have relied on self …

The vertical distribution of coarse aggregates and steel fibers in ultra-high performance
concrete (UHPC) both at fresh and hardened states was investigated to unveil their …

The importance of concrete mix design is not hidden from anyone. Therefore, extracting
mixture proportions from hardened concrete can be considered as a brilliant tool for various …

In this paper, a fluid-solid coupling method is used to simulate the aggregate settling in
mortar, and the accuracy of this method is verified by comparing the simulation results with …

Objetivo: Determinar el comportamiento del hormigón, con aditivos a base de polímeros y/o
