Abstract In this paper, the aggregate gradation and cementing material were consistent, the rheological parameters were changed by different dosage of SP(%) and w/c(%), and the effect of rheological parameters and the interaction between aggregates on stability and appearance of cast concrete were investigated under different vibrating conditions. The results show that it is easy to increase the proportion of the surface defects after casting caused by insufficient filling ability in the case of higher yield stress and viscosity; uneven distribution of aggregates after casting resulting from segregation were found with the lower plastic viscosity and yield stress. It was also observed that in the case of shorter vibration or rest, the stability of concrete is affected by the yield stress and plastic viscosity; as the vibration is strengthened, the plastic viscosity plays a decisive role in stability. In addition, the appearance quality of the concrete after casting is affected by the yield stress and the viscosity, but as the vibration is strengthened, the effect of the plastic viscosity is weakened. It could be effective to provide references and evidence to control the stability and appearance quality of concrete by adjusting concrete rheological parameters.
