    Abstract

    Rheometers for measuring the properties of fluids are usually calibrated using a standard reference oil. However, a rheometer used for concrete cannot be calibrated using an oil, because of the unusual geometry and size. It would be advantageous to have a granular reference material. A material that can simulate a Bingham fluid, such as cement paste, was developed in this study as a mixture of corn syrup, water, and fine limestone. This reference material will form the basis of future mortar and concrete reference materials containing fine and coarse aggregates. This paper illustrates the various aspects of the development and shows data obtained using various geometries of rheometers.
