Banfill, P F G (1983) The effect of admixtures on the rheology of fresh concrete. Construction Papers, 2(1), pp. 63-77. ISSN 0144-8587
Abstract
The rheology of fresh concrete is discussed in terms of the Bingham plastic model, and an apparatus developed by Tattersall, which is capable of measuring the yield value and plastic viscosity of concrete in fundamental units, is described. The effects of plasticizers, super plasticizers and Erin trained agents are reviewed, using results from several studies, and two general types of behaviour are identified. Results are discussed in terms of the current theories of the mechanism of action of admixtures.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
