Cement-based mixes: Shearing properties and pore pressure

Résumé

This study presents original results on the rheological measurement of concrete mixes. It focuses on how to determine their mechanical and physical behavior under shearing stress. More specifically, the influence of aggregate content on shearing properties is studied. A vane rheometer was developed to characterize fresh cement-based materials. In addition to the conventional concrete rheometer, a special hydraulic pressure transducer was fitted to the container to monitor the pore water pressure variation while shearing the material. Experiments on cement paste, mortar, and concrete bring a new approach to help us understand the behavior of fresh-state mixes. The results show 1) a correlation between water pore pressure and torque applied on the vane; 2) a critical sand volume fraction, ϕc, as a limit between colloidal interaction behavior and frictional behavior in mortars; beyond this critical fraction, a leap in yield stress and a drop in pore pressure due to granular dilatancy are noticed; 3) the granular content clearly influences the increase in yield stress of the cement mixes: above ϕc, this increase becomes negligible.
