This concept aims at the production of high-quality castings as well as at ingot material for wrought processing routes because the chemically homogeneous and fine-grained microstructures would be a good precondition for improved workability.
Increasing mixing intensity slightly improved workability without significantly impacting strength.
Incorporation of RAP into concrete mix improved workability & cohesiveness.
The advantages of WMA are reduced energy consumption, reduced emissions and improved workability.
The results show that significantly improved workability and strength development are obtained at an increased admixture content.
Controlling silica modulus significantly improved workability, but the impact on strength was inconsistent.
The increase of plasticizer content up to 10.5 kg/m3 had acceptable effects on GPC properties due to improved workability.
Some of the advantages include improved workability, reduced permeability, increased ultimate strength, reduced bleeding, and reduced heat of hydration Qian and Stroeven (2000).
Super plasticizer with ratio of 1.5%% by weight of cement/silica fume was used to improve workability of the mixtures.
Superplasticizer with ratio of 1.5%% by weight of cement was used to improve workability of the mixture.
