Rheology of Fresh Cement and Concrete: Proceedings of an International Conference, Liverpool, 1990

Description

Understanding and controlling the rheology of cement-based materials is essential if they are to be used successfully in building, civil engineering and offshore applications. This book brings together new research information on the flow behaviour of cementitious materials from the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Finland, USSR, USA and Japan, presented at the International Conference organised by the British Society of Rheology in March 1990. Topics covered include: measurement techniques and fundamental studies of rheology; hydration, setting kinetics and computer simulation; materials (oilwell cements, grouts, mortars, flyash); practical applications (vibration, early-age properties, formwork pressures).
