...Youssef El Bitouri; Nathalie Azéma The aim of this paper is to examine the contribution of turbidimetry measurements in the characterisation of cement pastes bleeding. In some cases (e.g. the presence of superplasticiser), the bleed water becomes turbid due to dispersion of the finest particles...

The results showed that the mechanochemical activation technique increased the rheological characteristics and reduced the fresh properties (setting time...
