This paper reports an experimental study into the rheological behaviour of self consolidating concrete (SCC). The investigation aimed at quantifying the impact of the varying amounts of mineral admixtures on the rheology of SCC containing natural sand. Apart from the ordinary Portland cement (OPC), the cementitious materials such as fly ash (FA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and micro-silica (MS) in conjunction with the mineral admixtures were used in different percentages keeping the mix paste volume and flow of concrete constant at higher atmospheric tempterature ($30^{\circ}$ to $40^{\circ}C$). The rheological properties of SCC were investigated using an ICAR rheometer with a four-blade vane. The rheological properties of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) containing different mineral admixtures (MA) were investigated using an ICAR rheometer. The mineral admixtures were fly ash (FA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), and micro silica (MS). The results obtained using traditional workability results are compared with those obtained using ICAR rheometer. The instrument ICAR (International Center for Aggregate Research) rheometer employed in the present study for evaluating the rhelogical behaviour of the SCC is found to detect systematic changes in workability, cementitious materials, successfully. It can be concluded that the rheology and the slump flow tests can be concurrently used for predicting the flow behaviours of SCC made with different cementitious materials.

This paper reports an experimental study into the rheological behaviour of Smart Dynamic Concrete (SDC). The investigation is aimed at quantifying the effect of the varying amount of mineral admixtures on the rheology, setting time and compressive strength of SDC containing natural sand and crushed sand. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in conjunction with the mineral admixtures was used in different replacement ratio keeping the mix paste volume (35%) and water binder ratio (0.4) constant at controlled laboratory atmospheric temperature ($33^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$). The results show that the properties and amount of fine aggregate have a strong influence on the admixture demand for similar initial workability, i.e., flow. The large amounts of fines and lower value of fineness modulus (FM) of natural sand primarily increases the yield stress of the SDC. The mineral admixtures at various replacement ratios strongly contribute to the yield stress and plastic viscosity of SDC due to inter particle friction and cohesion.

건설폐기물의 증가에 따라 지속가능한 기술로 폐콘크리트의 재사용에 대한 연구가 활발해지고 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 순환골재를 활용한 콘크리트의 유동성, 압축강도 및 쪼갬인장강도에 대한 특성을 조사하였다. 실험변수로는 콘크리트의 설계강도, 순환골재의 함수상태, 총 굵은골재량에 대한 순환굵은골재의 치환율, 플라이애쉬 사용 유무 등을 사용하여 11가지 경우에 대한 시험체 제작과 실험을 계획하였다. 굳지 않은 순환골재 콘크리트의 유동성을 평가하기 위해 ICAR 레오미터를 이용하여 유동곡선실험을 실시하였고, 슬럼프 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 순환골재와 플라이애쉬의 사용은 슬럼프와 유동곡선 모두 콘크리트의 유동성을 향상시키는 결과를 얻었다. 순환골재의 치환율이 증가할수록 항복응력이 감소하였으며, 이를 통해서 슬럼프와 항복응력은 대략적으로 반비례 관계에 있는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 플라이애쉬를 함유한 순환골재 콘크리트는 플라이애쉬를 함유하지 않은 경우에 비해 상당히 낮은 소성점도를 보였다. 순환골재를 사용한 콘크리트의 압축강도, 쪼갬인장강도는 치환율이 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 순환골재를 30% 이상 치환한 경우는 이러한 경향이 보다 뚜렷하게 보였다. 순환골재를 30% 치환하고, 플라이애쉬를 사용한 콘크리트는 장기강도 증진에 도움이 되는 것으로 판단된다.
