Active stiffening control by magnetically induced blocking in confined flow of fly ash pastes

Formwork leakage has become one of the important challenges of modern construction parallel to the increase in use of self-compacting cementitious materials. Excessive formwork pressure coupled with the highly flowable nature of these materials could lead to increased formwork leakage. This paper introduces a magnetic field-based active stiffening control methodology that could be beneficial for reducing formwork leakage during casting. As a...
