Nb. Urev et al., SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE PROCESS OF SEDIMENTATION IN CEMENT-WATER DISPERSIONS IN THE PRESENCE OF SUPERPLASTICIZERS, Colloid journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 59(6), 1997, pp. 792-794
The gamma method was applied to investigate the specific features of s
edimentation of cement-water dispersions both with or without superpla
sticizers. Substantial differences were detected in the density distri
bution over the height of the dispersion, In particular, for hydrating
dispersions, the layer-by-layer pattern of density distribution in th
e presence of surfactants and relatively smooth density variation over
the height in the dispersion with no additives were confirmed.
