Abstract
The rheological properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete have a significant impact on engineering quality, and experimental characterization of the rheological properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete has significant engineering significance and scientific research value. By reviewing relevant literature both domestically and internationally, the article compares and analyzes the construction characteristics and applicable scope of commonly used concrete rheometers, and analyzes the influence of factors such as water cement ratio, mineral admixtures, aggregate properties, steel fiber properties, and additives on the rheological performance test results. The results show that there are significant differences in the test results using different rheometers, and the degree of influence of different factors on the rheological properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete is also different. This can provide reference for the selection of rheological performance testing methods and parameter control of steel fiber reinforced concrete.
