On the measurement and application of cement grout rheological properties

New Licentiate in Engineering Thesis: John Shamu (2019) On the measurement and application of cement grout rheological properties, Licentiate thesis Stockholm : KTH Royal Institute of

This thesis deals with The rheological properties of cement-based grouts. A systematic approach to study the rheology within the constraints of the concentric cylinder geometry (Couette) and for different cement grout concentrations was carried out. A first step towards more systematic studies of the plug flow region in radial flow the current work presents the design, manufacture and for the first time velocity profile measurements that were conducted by using the pulsed Ultrasound Velocity Profiling (UVP) technique.
