Numerical simulation of self-consolidating concrete flow as a heterogeneous material in L-Box set-up: Effect of rheological parameters on flow performance

The results of 25 simulations in total are found to correlate well with the rheological parameters of the suspending fluid. Plastic viscosity of the suspending fluid was shown to be the most dominant parameter affecting flow performance of SCC in the L-Box test. A new approach was also proposed to classify SCC mixtures based on the filling ability properties.
