Estimation of the Pumping Pressure from Concrete Composition Based on the Identified Tribological Parameters

A new method is proposed to estimate pumping pressure based on concrete composition without experimental measurements. Previous studies show that the pumping pressure depends on the interface friction between concrete and the wall of the pumping pipes. This friction is determined by the thickness an...
