Full scale pumping tests on SCC: application of the modified Hattori-Izumi theory [PDF]

, 2009
Studying the flow of fresh concrete is influenced by time dependency of the rheological properties of the concrete. This time dependency can be divided into two parts : the non-reversible part, being loss of workability and the reversible part, called ...
