Abstract:Rheology is defined as the science of the deformation and flow of matter (Hackley and Ferraris,
2001). The measurement of rheological properties of matter has become very important in various
fields, especially the construction industry, where prevailing external conditions have a great
impact on the behavior of construction materials.
A vast amount of literature in the past addressed the application of various rheological models of
binders (including polymer binders). Several models provide information about the stability,
elasticity, thermal susceptibility, chemical composition, and additives of materials.
These models are not easy to apply to real world conditions, for example, materials in the presence
of heating and cooling. Furthermore, considerable studies using various models to construct
better master curves have still proved elusive in providing reasonable simulation fits to the data.
This guidebook attempts to provide guidance for the selection (in some cases) of appropriate
models in given conditions.
