Generally, SCC is said to be sheared during pumping, while for CVC, the shearing is only concentrated in the lubrication layer and the bulk concrete flows as a plug. This paper discusses the factors affecting the shear rate in the bulk concrete, and the additional flow rate caused by shearing the bulk concrete.

Learn MoreDuring actual pumping, the concrete is sheared at high speed to form a lubrication layer. The general range of the maximum shear rate in the pipe flow of pumped concrete is from 107 1/s to 653.2 1/s for the pipe with a diameter of 127 mm and 73.6 1/s to 445 1/s for the pipe with a diameter of 152 mm [ 39 ].
Learn MoreThe amount of shearing in the bulk concrete is affected by η LL /μ p and τ 0 /μ p. Mixtures with higher w/cm and with fly ash are less prone to shear-induced changes. In specific conditions, Conventional Vibrated Concrete can be sheared inside pipes.

Learn MoreJul 27, 2012 · The main difference between conventional vibrated concrete (CVC) and self-compacting concrete (SCC) is observed in the fresh state, as SCC has a significantly lower yield stress. On the other hand, the placement of SCC by means of pumping is done with the same equipment and following the same practical guidelines developed for CVC. It can be questioned whether the flow behaviour in pipes …

Learn MoreIn this paper, the authors have focused on shear-induced particle migration (SIPM), its effect on concrete flow patterns, and lubricating layer formation during pumping. For this purpose, various volume-fractions ϕ of aggregates were selected. The particle migration was analyzed by applying two methods: sampling hardened concrete exposed to pumping and performing X-ray microcomputed
Learn MoreJul 27, 2012 · As stated above, the shear rate in the sheared part of the concrete during pumping can reach up to 60 s −1 (or even higher if a higher discharge rate is applied), resulting in a discrepancy in the range of shear rate between the rheometer and the flow in the pipes. On the other hand, the maximum shear rate obtained in the Tattersall Mk-II rheometer is already a very high value for a concrete …
Learn MoreJun 28, 2016 · During concrete pumping, the migration and redistribution of particles occur in a pipe and the lubrication layer that forms between the bulk concrete and the pipe wall is the governing factor determining the flow behavior.

When exposed to more extended pumping times, the fresh properties of the concrete change,, . Typically, viscosity is reduced, but the effect of pumping on yield stress is not fully clear yet.
Learn MoreIt is well known from literature that pumping of concrete requires the formation of a lubrication layer [].Absence of this layer would lead to excessive pumping pressures and potentially blocking of the pumpline [].Many studies have been performed to predict pumping pressures of concrete, whether through the use of interface rheometers [1,3,4,5,6,7], the Sliper [8,9,10,11], or by measuring the
