Rheologische Messungen an Baustoffen 2020

Více o knize

The art of rheological measurements for construction materials was largely unexplored until 50 years ago and remains complex, often challenging for non-experts. Many invest in expensive rheological equipment, only to find that setting up tests, understanding influencing factors, and interpreting results can be difficult, leading to underutilized tools collecting dust in laboratories. The conference and workshop on the Rheology of Building Materials in Regensburg cannot address all these challenges but offers a valuable platform for showcasing recent research, demonstrating useful equipment, and facilitating idea exchange. Proper workability of mineral binder materials is crucial for cost-effective production and optimal performance once hardened. The proceedings feature enhanced testing methods and applications, covering key rheological topics such as inline control of ready-mix concrete, various tests on concrete and mortar (including calcium-sulfoaluminate mortars, alkali-activated binders, and 3D-printing mortars), the impact of fibers on injecting mortars, and oscillatory measurements. Additionally, there is a unique contribution on the behavior of granular frazil ice. Readers are encouraged to find inspiration and new ideas for their own work in these papers.
