A test method which is accurate, viable and is based on the fundamental scientific description and at the same time the results are independent of the test device can go a long way in better understanding of the workability of fresh concrete. The principal objective of this research study is to assess the feasibility of concrete shear box to measure the rheological properties of fresh Portland cement concrete using Bingham model. Study assesses the repeatability and reproducibility of the results. The repeatability values of relative yield stress and relative plastic viscosity are 97.63% and 91.49% and reproducibility values are 91.68% and 95.51% respectively and the results reinforce the effectiveness of using concrete shear box.
