Abstract
One of the active rheology control methods involves adding magnetically-responsive mineral particles to fresh concrete and activating them by an external magnetic field, turning it into a magnetorheological (MR) fluid with controllable rheological properties. Nano-Fe₃O₄ is the most common material for MR cement, but other minerals also contain magnetizable phases. This study compares the MR properties of cement mixtures with fayalite slag and nano-Fe₃O₄.
