Hoornahad, H. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)In this paper, the effect of the mix composition on rheological behavior of a mixture is studied by considering a two-phase model for a mixture. A mixture is decomposed into a granular and a paste phase. Paste itself is divided into the void paste and the excess paste. The slump test is used for evaluation of rheological behavior of a mixture....conference paper 2013

Hoornahad, H. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)Since the early 20th century, the necessity of modeling and monitoring fresh concrete behavior has been recognized by the industry with the objective to ensure adequate mechanical properties and a proper durability of concrete structures. Due to the rapid development of computer technology, the applications of computational simulation tools in...conference paper 2013

Hoornahad, H. (author)No-slump concrete (NSLC) is one of the commercial types of concrete that is known as a type of concrete with almost zero flowability. No-slump concrete is normally used for typical applications, like pavements construction and massive dam structures. The specific feature of a no-slump concrete is its high shape holding ability. No fixed formwork...doctoral thesis 2014

Hoornahad, H. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)In this paper a performance-based method for the design of granular-paste mixtures will be proposed. Focus will be on the selection and proportioning of constituents to produce a mixture with a pre-defined shape holding ability. Shape holding ability of mixtures will be characterized by the shape preservation factor SPF. This SPF shows the...conference paper 2014
