Abstract
Thixotropy is the reversible change of the materials rheological properties caused by external mechanical forces. Materials with this behavior can be found at several areas, nevertheless the examination of the phenomenon is rare. Materials like paints, or ketchup can show thixotropic behavior, but in this paper pays attention to geotechnically relevant materials like bentonite or red mud. To understand the reason of the thixotropic behavior measurements were performed. These are shown in this paper (phase analysis and rheometry) to help understanding and comparing the two materials thixotropic behavior.
