2.1. Structure and rheological properties

Concrete mix is a system in which cement paste and water bind aggregates such

as sand and gravel or crushed stone into a homogeneous mass.

The coefficient of internal friction relies mainly on the coarseness of aggregates

and can be approximately calculated on the Lermit and Turnon formula:

where d - middle diameter of particles of

The rheological model of concrete mixture is usually characterized by

the Shvedov-Bingam formula:
