The trimethylsilyl derivatives of the silicate fractions of three fully hydrated Portland cement pastes have been studied by gas-liquid and gel-permeation chromatography. The pastes had 9-II% of the silica as monomer, 22-30% as dimer and 44-57% as polysilicate. Gel-permeation chromatograms of the po

β¦ Synopsis
The flow behavior of Portland cement paste was studied as a function of its concentration. The relationship between viscosity and concentration was found to be well described by the Krieger-Dougherty equation. For pastes dispersed using a superplasticizer, the maximum volume fraction was found to be approximately 0.7, and the intrinsic viscosity was found to be approximately 5. Pastes that were not dispersed were considerably higher in viscosity; such flocculated pastes fit the Krieger-Dougherty equation, but gave a much lower maximum volume fraction, indicating fairly open flocs even at the high strain rate used for viscosity measurements (500 seconds-I).
