Feasibility of using cellulose filaments as a viscosity modifying agent in self-consolidating concrete

Nanomodification of concrete represents one of the phenomenal leaps in concrete technology providing innovative tools for engineering cement composites with improved performance. In self-consolidating concrete (SCC), for instance, designing flowable–yet stable and robust–SCC mixtures requires an optimum balance between flowability and stability. This is conventionally achieved by optimizing the dosage of high range water reducing admixtures …
