Effect of crushed sand and limestone crushed sand dust on the rheology of cement mortar
Appl. Rheol. 27:1 (2017) 14490 (9 pages)
►
This paper investigates the influence of limestone crushed sand dust (LCSD) on rheological properties of cement mortar based
on crushed sand (CS) with different mineralogical nature (limestone and siliceous). A LCSD with a specific surface BET of 1470
m2/kg
was used at different content replacement by mass of sand (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 %). The water-cement ratio (W/C) and
the cement content were kept constant for all mixes. The results show that the slump decreased as well as the flow time, the
yield stress and the viscosity of mortar increased with the increase in LCSD content. Thus, the mortar based on limestone
crushed sand (LS) has a low loss of rheological properties compared with a mortar based on siliceous crushed sand (SS). Yet,
for 0 % of LCSD, it was found that the rheological properties are nearly equal for both CSs. The use of superplasticizer (Sp) significantly
improves the workability and rheological properties. However, the rheological behavior of mortar has been strongly
affected by increasing the volume concentration of CS whereas the effect of CS on fresh mortar presents significantly greater
disadvantages compared with rolled sand (RS).

A new vane rheometer for fresh mortar: development and validation
Appl. Rheol. 24:2 (2014) 22594 (7 pages)
►
This paper presents the development of a vane rheometer to estimate mortar plastic viscosity and yield stress. The rheological
parameters were developed from measurements using a procedure to convert the vane torque and rotational velocity
data into shear stress versus shear rate relationships. The used procedure considered the locally sheared material as a
Bingham fluid and computed the characteristic shear rate from Couette analogy. The apparatus was tested with three experimental
programs in which many rheological parameters of mortar compositions were calculated. The obtained results validated
the rheometer test procedure and confirmed that the test results are reproducible.

Computational fluid dynamics calibration of Tattersall MK-II type rheometer for concrete
Appl. Rheol. 23:3 (2013) 34741 (12 pages)
►
Currently more and more researches have been performing concerning the numerical simulation of the behavior of fresh concrete
during pumping or formwork filling. Adequate implementation of the rheology properties of fresh concrete is a determinant
key to obtain realistic simulations. However, in many cases, the rheological parameters of the fresh concrete as determined
by rheometers are not sufficiently accurate. The common principle of all the rheometers is not to measure directly the
rheological parameters of concrete but to measure some basic physical parameters (torque, velocity, pressure, ...) that that in
some cases allow the calculation of the rheological parameter in terms of fundamental physical quantities. Errors can be
caused by undesired flow phenomena which are not taken into the prediction formulas and by the inaccurate prediction formulas
themselves. This is directly related to the poor calibration of the rheometer that cannot cover all ranges of materials.
This paper investigates the calibration of the Tattersall MK-II rheometer by performing the numerical simulation for a
tremendous range of concrete flowing in the rheometer, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This allows to quickly and
accurately obtain the rheological properties of fresh concrete, which can then be used consistently for further flow simulations.
This method can be applied for all types of rheometer.
