Quantifying the influence of temperature and water-to-cement ratio on cement paste rheological properties

The rheological behavior of cement pastes is highly affected by temperature and water content, which hinders our capacity to build effectively in extreme conditions. We herein employ a recently proposed constitutive rheological model (Ioannou and Stephanou, J Rheol 67:849–861, 2023), to model the rheological behavior of cement pastes over an extensive temperature and water-to-cement ratio (w/c) range. We thoroughly parametrize the model for both fresh and aged cement pastes to accommodate quanti
