Segregation on the microlevel, i.e., in the fresh cement paste, is normally called 'bleeding' and describes a separation of water and cement particles. This separation process is caused by a sedimentation of cement particles in the suspension and is accompanied by a compaction of the particle structure [ 1 ]. Figure 1.

Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose as a Free Water and Settling …
HPMC-based cement slurries produce high viscosity and have better suspending properties. HPMC polymer has the property to act as particle suspension agent. In cement slurry, HPMC increases the cohesive force between particles that restrict the sedimentation of cement particles and control the separation of free water.
Evaluation of hematite and Micromax-based cement …
Density variation (DV) across the cement column due to heavy particles sedimentation is a critical problem that results in disruption in hardened cement properties such as porosity and strength. In this work, two heavy-weight cement systems using Micromax and hematite were evaluated in terms of rheological properties, fluid loss, …
Fineness Test of Cement by Sieve Analysis | IS: 4031 Part-1
Empty the pan and fix it below the sieve. Repeat the whole procedure, at least three times, using a fresh 100 g sample of cement. Totally sieve for 15 minutes and weigh the residue (weight of cement left over the sieve; W₂). Calculate the fineness of cement by formula W₂/W₁×100 % for each time.
Effect of sedimentation on the rheological properties of …
Increasing the w/c from 0.35 to 0.45 decreased particle volume fraction, reflected by a lower viscosity of the paste, and consequently increasing the rate of sedimentation. Higher variations in the rheological properties were observed between the homogenized and non-homogenized sample when procedure 2 was applied.

Influence of water/cement ratio, admixtures and filler on sedimentation
The sedimentation process is influenced by several factors: viscous flow of the liquid [2], particle flocculation, dissolution, early hydration and chemical shrinkage of the cementitious materials [3], [4], thixotropy and structural build-up of the paste [5], [6], dispersing, retarding and stabilizing effects by the admixtures [7].

Interparticle Potential and Sedimentation Behavior of Cement
The sedimentation behavior of each system can be directly related to these three curves. Sedimentation, (H-h)/H, is defined by Yang and coworkers [13], where H is the initial height of the suspension, and h is the height of the sediment.A stable dispersion will exhibit free sedimentation behavior in which larger particles settle out first.
