Study of Effect of Various Types of Cement on Properties of Cement Pastes

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article studies the effect of various types of cement on rheological properties of cement pastes. Rheological properties are significantly related to workability of concrete and to requirements of mixing water amount and thus affect the development of strength, durability of concrete and resistance of concrete to extreme conditions and to high temperature. This article describes the influence of cement type, type and dose of superplasticising admixtures on development of torque in time. Torque was monitored by the rotational viscometer Viskomat NT. Theoretical part of the article briefly describes the phenomenons that can accompany mixing and processing of cement pastes. Experimental part is focused on monitoring the rheological behaviour of cement pastes of different formulas by monitoring the evolution of torque in time.
