Abstract
The objective of this paper is to explore the important mechanisms that control the rheology of cement based materials under hot weather conditions. The effect of hot weather on the fresh and mechanical properties of concrete was investigated. The paper presents some of the practices taken to alleviate the effects of hot weather on concreting. The rheological properties of Portland cement paste and concrete were discussed using both the conventional flow technique and the oscillatory shear technique.
