Article Citation - WoS: 63Correlating Rheology of Self-Consolidating Concrete To Corresponding Concrete-Equivalent Mortar(American Concrete Institute, 2009) Erdem, Tahir Kemal; Erdem, Tahir Kemal; Khayat, Kamal H.; Yahia, Ammar; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe investigation reported in this paper seeks to develop a methodology to evaluate the rheological parameters and thixotropy of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) using those of concrete-equivalent mortar (CEM). The mixture proportioning of CEMs are derived from their corresponding concrete mixtures by eliminating the coarse aggregate fraction and replacing it by a certain mass of sand of the same surface area. SCC mixtures with water-cementitious material ratios (w/cm) of 0.35, 0.38, and 0.42 and coarse aggregate-total aggregate volume ratios (CA/A) of 0.44 to 0.53 were investigated. The mixtures with a w/cm (if 0.38 and 0.42 incorporated low and moderate dosages, respectively, of a viscosity-modifying admixture to enhance stability For each SCC, the dosage of high-range water-reducer (HRWR) was varied to cover a wide range of slump flow consistencies ranging between 570 and 730 mm (22.4 and 28.7 in.). All SCC mixtures were proportioned with 450 kg/m(3) (758.5 lb/yd(3)) of ternary silica fume-ground granulated blast-furnace slag cement. A simple method is also proposed to determine the HRWR demand of SCC from that of the corresponding CEM. Test results showed that a good correlation can be established between the yield stress, plastic viscosity, and thixotropy of SCC and their corresponding CEM mixtures. Both thixotropy and plastic viscosity of SCC mixtures and their corresponding CEM mixtures are shown to vary primarily with variations in the w/cm and relative volume of coarse aggregate.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 6Development of a New Test Method To Evaluate Dynamic Stability of Self-Consolidating Concrete(RILEM Publications SARL, 2016) Alami, Mohammad Musa; Erdem, Tahir Kemal; Erdem, Tahir Kemal; Khayat, Kamal H.; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyAlthough many different test methods have been proposed to evaluate the static stability of self-consolidating concrete (SCC), limited test methods have been developed to determine dynamic segregation of SCC. In this study, a new apparatus was developed for testing the dynamic stability of SCC. The new method was called as "Dynamic Sieve Segregation Test" (DSST) which provides a numerical result referred to the "dynamic segregation ratio" (DSR). Higher DSR values indicate dynamically less stable mixtures. Several correlations were successfully established between the test results. SCC mixtures with higher slump flow, higher coarse aggregate-to-total aggregate ratio or higher maximum aggregate size (Dmax) resulted in higher DSR values. A maximum DSR value of 30% was proposed for a dynamically stable SCC. The repeatability of DSST was found to be high with a COV value of 5.30%. Based on the results, DSST was found to be a suitable method to evaluate the dynamic stability of SCC.
