This paper provides an overview of the use of nanoclays in cement-based materials. The
effect of nanoclays on shear rheological properties will be discussed, with a focus on …

Cemented paste backfill (CPB) is an efficient and sustainable technology for the disposal of
tailings in mining industry. However, the flowability of CPB is not completely clear due to the …

The surging demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) has spurred the construction process of
LNG storage tanks. As construction technologies and engineering materials are leaping …

Nanoclay, a thermal treated, purified attapulgite clay, has been used to increase thixotropy.
However, the effect of nanoclay in presence of water reducing agent, such as PCE, on …

Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are a new, promising, multipurpose chemical admixture
for concrete. This article addresses the rheological behaviour of fresh, cement-based …

Polycarboxylate ether surperplasticizer (PCE) has been commonly used and studied to
enhance flowability of cementitious materials. However, the effect of PCE addition on …

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is one of the commonly used anti-washout admixtures (AWAs) in
cement-based materials. However, PAM chains tend to be contracted under attacks from …

Rheological properties and the interaction between air bubbles and solid particles are
important factors influencing the air bubble system in air-entrained concrete. The former may …

The macroscopic flow behavior and rheological properties of cemented paste backfill (CPB)
are highly impacted by the inherent structure of the paste matrix. In this study, the effects of …

In this study, we investigated the effects of concentration and modulus of alkaline activator,
liquid–solid (L/S) ratio, and sand volume fraction on rheological properties and flowability of …
