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].
