Abstract
This paper shows how the well-known bleeding test can be used as a simple and inexpensive method for measuring the permeability and the bulk modulus of fresh concrete, utilizing Darcy's law and a small-strain poromechanical approach. The permeability and the bulk modulus are two essential parameters for understanding the behavior of fresh concrete, in particular plastic settlement and plastic shrinkage cracking. The proposed methods are verified and validated by utilizing experimental data obtained from the literature.
