Flow properties of fresh concrete by using modified geotechnical Vane shear test

Cement-based additive manufacturing: experimental investigation of process quality

“…The proper mixing, consistency, and uniformity of the material properties in between the different experiments was ensured by measuring the shear strength of each material batch using a shear testing vane [33]. This procedure has been described by Elaty et al [34]; according to them, the shear vane test is capable of measuring the workability of fresh concrete. The mechanical properties of the material and of the test parts [17] have also been verified.…”

Computational and empirical modeling of additive manufacturing processes

“…The proper mixing, consistency, and uniformity of the material properties in-between the different experiments was ensured by measuring the shear strength of each material batch using a shear testing vane [270] (Figure 81). This procedure has been described by Elaty et al [271]; according to them, the shear vane test is capable of measuring the workability of fresh concrete. The mechanical properties of the material and of the test parts [17] have also been verified.…”
