Abstract

The comparison of rheological parameters for 26 different types of fresh concrete, measured with two co-axial cylinder rheometers ConTec Viscometer 5 and ICAR Rheometer, is presented in the paper. The consistency by slump test and flow table test was also measured. Statistical analyses of results show good correlation between the two rheometers for the yield stress and plastic viscosity. During this study, a strong correlation was established between the yield stress and workability, while the correlation is weak between the workability and plastic viscosity.
