Abstract

Multi-step concrete mixing techniques are used to improve the properties of cement paste, mortar and concrete. Different methods are followed in the USA, the UK, Russia, Canada, Belgium, Poland and Japan. The properties of multi-step mixing and conventional methods are compared.

Resume

On utilise les techniques de malaxage du béton en plusieurs étapes pour améliorer les propriétés de la pâte de ciment, du mortier et du béton. On décrit un certain nombre de méthodes en usage aux Etats-Unis, en Royaume Uni, en Russie, Belgique, Japan, Pologne et au Canada. On compare les propriétés du mélange en plusieurs étapes avec les méthodes conventionnelles.
