A Thixotropic Model for Cement Pastes

  • Chapter
Rheology

Abstract

Several researches1,9 have indicated the thixotropic behaviour of cement pastes. When subjected to shear, cement pastes undergo a structural breakdown process. Pastes can be defined as partially thixotropic systems since, even if a long rest period follows the shear action, they have no appreciable tendency to build up their structure.
