Experimental Investigations and Development of a Comprehensive Rheological Model for Cement Paste: A Novel Integration of Thixotropic Behavior and Hydration Effects

Abstract

AbstractThe article presents an innovative approach to understanding cement paste rheology for advanced construction applications, particularly three-dimensional (3D) concrete printing. Through a systematic investigation combining experimental ...Practical ApplicationsThe findings from the study are highly relevant to modern construction methods that rely on automation, such as three-dimensional (3D) concrete printing. These technologies require cement paste that flows smoothly through pumps and ...
