Abstract

In modern construction, the properties of new concrete are crucial for building quality and structural performance. Recent technological advancements have led to significant progress in enhancing the properties of new concrete. This study employs theoretical and experimental methods to explore the connection among shear stress and shear strain rate under vibration, the impact of aggregate substitution on concrete performance, and the rheological properties of moist shotcrete. The findings suggest that adjusting mix proportions and using additives can significantly improve concrete's strength, durability, and workability. This research provides engineers with a theoretical foundation for optimizing concrete mixtures and construction techniques, thereby improving overall building quality and construction efficiency. The findings suggest that sustainable materials can be used without compromising structural integrity, making the construction process more environmentally friendly while maintaining high performance standards. Furthermore, this study highlights the importance of understanding concrete behavior under various conditions to develop more resilient and long-lasting structures.
