Interactions Between Portland Cements and Carboxylated and Naphthalene-Based Superplasticizers

426 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2007.In the final part of this study, the relation between the concrete slumps and the paste rheology is established. However, concretes required much less superplasticizer than paste to be dispersed. The differences in the shear history between the concretes and the pastes possibly explain such discrepancies in admixture dosages.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD
