Rheology of Superabsorbent Polymer-Modified and Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Cement Paste with Silica Fume: Response Surface Methodology
Hasan Dilbas
Abstract:The rheology of composite can be changed through the addition of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and basalt fibers, and the use of silica fume. This study aimed to investigate the effects of these components on the viscosity and shear stress parameters of the paste. The proportions of the components were varied, with SAP content ranging from 0.01% to 0.03%, basalt fiber from 0% to 0.50%, silica fume at 15%, and water content from 0.40 to 0.50. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the mixture proporti… Show more
