Abstract
AbstractIn this contribution, an interdisciplinary approach was employed to investigate and describe the fresh rheology of cementitious pastes, using analytical techniques, microstructural modelling, and experimental rheometry. The pastes, based on Ordinary Portland Cement and Limestone Calcined Clay Cement at a solid volume fraction of Φ = 0.45, were subjected to various analyses. Physical and chemical analyses were conducted including laser granulometry and isothermal heat flow calorimetry. Dynamic rotational rheometry and static oscillatory rheometry, along with viscoplastic and viscoelastic rheological modelling were used to support the characterization of the pastes. A physics‐based Monte‐Carlo algorithm was developed to numerically describe rheological properties such as structural buildup and yield stress. The results showed that as the physical properties of the pastes became more complex, the correlation of several analysis methods went more challenging. However, the combination of analytical, experimental, and phenomenological rheology allowed for a more distinct characterization of the cement paste. These findings can serve as a basis for further multidisciplinary rheological characterization of cementitious building materials.
