Description:: The setting and hardening process of concrete is considered to be the most critical time period during the life of a concrete structure. Previous research has been conducted on an ultrasonic wave reflection method that utilizes a steel plate embedded in the concrete to measure the reflection loss of shear...

Description:: The gradual evolution of the material properties of a cement-based material, i.e. the stiffness of cement paste, is the result of the continuous change of the microstructure with the progress of the hydration process. Based on an existing micromechanical model for the simulation of the shear and elastic modulus of...

Description:: In this paper, the correlation of reflection loss measured by an ultrasonic shear wave reflection method and the microstructure in cement-based material is investigated. Three cement pastes (Portland cement type I) with different water-cement ratios (0.35, 0.50 and 0.60) cured at 25 °C were examined. The ultrasonic shear wave reflection...

Description:: The setting and hardening process of concrete can be considered as the most critical time period during the life of a concrete structure. To assure high quality and avoid problems in performance throughout the life of the material, it is essential to have reliable information about the early age properties...

Description:: The paper deals with the behavior of fluid cement pastes, formulated from Self Consolidating Concretes (SCCs), and the experimental correlation of fundamental rheological properties, such as the yield stress and the viscosity, with measurements from field tests, such as the mini-cone slump flow test. As a matter of fact, several...
