Abstract:This paper proposes a comprehensive series of protocols that can make quantitative measurements on both breakdown and buildup aspects of thixotropic behaviors of cement pastes. While measuring breakdown and buildup separately, the correlations between these two aspects have also been investigated. Cement pastes with different water-to-binder ratios (w/b=0.4, 0.5 and 0.6) and different replacement levels of Diatomaceous Earth (DE) (0%, 2%, 6% and 10% by weight of cement) were studied. To simulate the real on-si… Show more
