Influence of FA, LP and SL on shear thickening of cement paste are investigated.
γcrit, τcrit, ηmin and rheological index (n) are put forward to describe and compare shear thickening.
The addition of FA, LP and SL into cement paste make paste take on shear thickening easily.
Intensity sequence of shear thickening of mineral admixture to cement paste are SL, FA and LP.
