The phrase "a workability" is not commonly used in written English and may sound awkward.
It can be used when discussing the feasibility or practicality of a plan, idea, or system, but it is more typical to use "workability" without the article.
Example: "The workability of the proposed solution was questioned by the team."
Alternatives: "a feasibility" or "a practicality".
At fresh state, the mix design of concrete with recycled aggregates requires an additional quantity of water to obtain a similar workability as a concrete formulated with natural aggregates (Hansen and Boegh 1986).
Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) may lead to evolution of a more quality controlled concrete, assuring a better workability and avoiding human errors with regard to mixing and workability issues.
The results show a satisfying workability just after the mixing step and a rapid hardening of about less than thirty minutes.
The measurements show a good workability characteristic for all samples tested and an improvement of the rheological characteristics as a shear, storage modulus, tan δ and rutting resistance criterion at high in service temperature especially for the sample with higher content in waste NBR which represent an interesting result from an environmental point of view.
In this paper, a constant slump is proposed in order to work at a constant workability and various types of soils are studied.
The concrete mixtures were designed for a constant workability of 75 100 mm slump.
The maximum volume of PET fibre for a desired workability was 1.5%.
The amount of super plasticizer was adjusted in each mix to maintain a constant workability.
The appropriate SG dosages resulted in a better workability of cement pastes than when only AS was used.
An ultra-lightweight concrete with a proper workability is obtained and the hardened concrete shows excellence performances in terms of mechanical property, thermal property and durability.
