Abstract Formulation of quaternary blended system containing ordinary Portland cement or
clinker, slag, limestone and calcined clay (LC2) appeared to be a viable approach to …

Cement-based products are the synthetic materials most used by humans, with consequent
environmental impacts. One strategy that can assist in mitigating the adverse environmental …

The implementation of extrusion-based 3D concrete printing (3DCP) in large-scale
constructions is currently limited by concerns regarding rheology control and the …

In this paper, the structural build-up characteristics of cementitious suspensions containing
attapulgite were explored from the perspective of flocculent structure. Firstly, the fluidity …

The dynamic yield stress associated with the flow cessation of cement pastes is measured
using a rheometer equipped with various shear geometries such as vane, helical …

The behavior of a suspension of spherical particles in a yield stress, shear thinning,
thixotropic fluid is studied under pipe flow at low Reynolds number. Three flow distances …

The very early age flocculation of a cement based paste, in which cement is partially
substituted by a calcined clay, metakaolin, is studied. We use rheological and ultrasonic …

The high consumption of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in high-performance concrete
(HPC), combined with the growing accumulation of construction and demolition wastes …

Understanding the mechanisms controlling the early (fresh) and long‐term (hardened)
hydration of one‐part alkali‐activated slags (AAS) is key to extend their use as low CO2 …

Cement is an essential construction material due to its ability to flow before later setting,
however the rheological properties must be tightly controlled. Despite this, much …
