Understanding the Rheology of Concrete
Woodhead Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-0-08-101645-9 (ISBN)
Part one begins with two introductory chapters dealing with the rheology and rheometry of complex fluids, followed by chapters that examine specific measurement and testing techniques for concrete. The focus of part two is the impact of mix design on the rheological behaviour of concrete, looking at additives including superplasticizers and viscosity agents. Finally, chapters in part three cover topics related to casting, such as thixotropy and formwork pressure.
With its distinguished editor and expert team of contributors, Understanding the rheology of concrete is an essential reference for researchers, materials specifiers, architects and designers in any section of the construction industry that makes use of concrete, and will also benefit graduate and undergraduate students of civil engineering, materials and construction.
Dr Nicolas Roussel is a researcher at the Institut Français des Sciences et Technologies des Transport, de l’Aménagement et des Réseaux (IFSTTAR), France. He is well-known for his research on the rheology of concrete.
