Title: | Workability of air-entrained lightweight concrete from rheology perspective | Authors: | Chia, K.-S. Zhang, M.-H. |
Issue Date: | Jun-2007 | Citation: | Chia, K.-S., Zhang, M.-H. (2007-06). Workability of air-entrained lightweight concrete from rheology perspective. Magazine of Concrete Research 59 (5) : 367-375. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1680/macr.2007.59.5.367 | Abstract: | Effects of air entrainment on rheological parameters and slump of fresh lightweight aggregate concrete were studied. Results show that yield stress and plastic viscosity of air-entrained concrete were lower than those of non-air-entrained concrete with similar superplasticiser dosage. As the entrained-air content increased, the plastic viscosity decreased whereas the yield stress remained relatively unchanged. The slump of the air-entrained concrete was significantly higher than the non-air-entrained concrete. At similar yield stress, the slump of the air-entrained concrete was higher owing to its lower plastic viscosity by air entrainment. At similar slump, the air-entrained concrete had higher yield stress and lower plastic viscosity, implying that higher shear stress is needed to initiate flow but flow resistance would be lower. | Source Title: | Magazine of Concrete Research | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/66420 | ISSN: | 00249831 | DOI: | 10.1680/macr.2007.59.5.367 |
