CONCRETEClass 1.8 – The Fundamentals of Concrete Rheology for the Concrete Practitioner

A very simple introduction to Concrete Rheology explaining concrete as a Bingham material. Common tests done on fresh concrete such as the slump test are often described as ‘single-point’ tests. The lecture will discuss the potential advantages of ‘two-point’ testing using a concrete rheometer over the ‘single-point’ tests commonly done on fresh concrete.

Requirements for attending this class:
– Basic knowledge of the constituents of concrete
– Basic mathematics, no more than Matric Level
