Influence of the addition sequence of PVA-fibers and water on mixing and rheological behavior of mortars

ABSTRACT The mixing process of fiber-containing cementitious suspensions is a crucial factor to obtaining a good dispersion of fibers and guarantee adequate mechanical performance of the hardened products. The addition of fibers into the suspension causes reduction of the fluidity of the system due...
