In this study, the flow curve of cement paste was obtained by using a rotational viscometer for the purpose of expressing the flow characteristics of cement paste. The rheological constant was obtained by approximating this flow curve by Bingham model. Using the obtained rheological constants as input values, the cement paste flow test results were analytically reproduced by the proposed marker particle viscoplastic finite element method. The results obtained by the analysis agreed well with the experimental results. Therefore, it was found that the marker particle visco-plastic finite element method and the rheological constants obtained by the experiment are effective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
