This thesis provides an experimental-based quantitative assessment and understanding of the effects of the particle size and physicochemical properties of SCMs and their interactions with the primary mixture parameters (such as water-to-cementitious materials ratio, SCM replacement, and reactivity of cement) on the rheology of cementitious paste (i.e., cementitious mixture with no coarse or fine aggregates). cache/pg15bc41n70.txt txt/pg15bc41n70.txt
