This paper provides a general study on cement paste flow which derived from self- compacting concretes. Rheometer, Marsh cone and mini-slump cone were used to evaluate fluidity of cement pastes containing superplasticizers of different types and dosages and loss of fluidity over time. There is a superplasticizer saturation dosage beyond which no significant fluidity increase can be found. This paper evaluated the effect of these three methods using rheometer as control and the optimum superplasticizer type for the preparation of self-compacting concrete was suggested.

Nowadays, the construction of cement composite using 3D printers is considered one of the most promising methods of automation of building processes. However, the compositions of cement composites have several disadvantages, such as high cost, short workability and etc. It has been suggested that clay soil as an additive will help to solve these problems partially. The aim of the work is development the cement compositions with clay soil, for use in 3D printers to construction. The composite consists of cement paste with clay soil and additives. To study printability of a composite the rheological properties in a fresh state were studied. The study of the rheological properties of composites was carried out using a flow table test for mortar. The key factor for determining the suitability of the composite for printing was accepted the diameter of the cone after shaking. The test results showed the possibility of replacing cement paste with clay soil up to 25% which leads to a reduction in the cost and an increase in printability with a slight decrease in the strength of the obtained material to 7%. Utilizing of soil from the construction site provides maximum economic efficiency of the material application.

With unique 2D nanostructures and excellent properties, graphene and its derivatives are a class of advanced nanosized reinforcements for cementitious materials. Sulfonated graphene (SG), one of the most important modified graphene materials, possesses sulfonate groups on the surface and significantly improves the mechanical and thermal properties of cement-based composites. It is important to investigate the influence of SG on cement-based materials as it is a prerequisite for practical applications. Herein, SG was prepared and introduced into cement paste to investigate its influence on the rheological properties of cement paste. With the increased addition of SG, a stable slurry was gradually obtained with low fluidity and high rheological parameters. The mechanism of the SG effect on the rheological properties of cement paste was also illustrated. Because of the high specific surface area and sulfonate groups of SG nanosheets, a large amount of flocculated structure was created by the complexing effect, chemical interaction, physical interaction and mechanical interlocking between SG and hydrated/unhydrated cement particles. Furthermore, polycarboxylate ether (PCE) superplasticizer was introduced to ensure fluidity and transportability in the practical application of SG. The results in this work lay a foundation for the practical application of modified graphene in cementitious materials.

With increasing interest in the use of additive manufacturing techniques in the construction industry, static rheological properties of fresh concrete have necessarily come into focus. In particular, the knowledge and control of static yield stress (SYS) and its development over time are crucial for mastering formwork-free construction, e.g. by means of layered extrusion. Furthermore, solid understanding of the influences of various concrete constituents on the initial SYS of the mixture and the structural build-up rate is required for purposeful material design. This contribution is concentrated on the effect of aggregates on these rheological parameters. The volume fraction of aggregates was varied in the range of 35 to 55 % by volume under condition of constant total surface area of the particles. The total surface area per unit volume of cement paste was equal to 5.00, 7.25 and 10.00 m²/l, conditioned on the constant volume fraction of aggregates. Both variations were enabled by changing the particle size distributions of the aggregates while holding the cement paste composition constant for all concrete mixtures. To characterise the SYS and the structural build-up, constant shear rate tests with a vane-geometry rotational rheometer were performed. It was found that in the ranges under investigation the variation in volume fraction had a more pronounced effect on the static rheological properties of concrete than did the variation in surface area. An accurate mathematical description of the relationship between the initial SYS of concrete and the relative volume fraction of aggregate based on the Chateau-Ovarlez-Trung model was proposed. Challenges in deriving a similar relationship for the structural build-up rate of concrete were highlighted.
