Quality assurance in concrete construction
Monitoring fresh concrete by means of mobile moisture measurement technology
In real-life application, problems repeatedly arise during the execution of concrete structures due to an excessively high or non-uniform water content in the fresh concrete mix. For quality assurance purposes, it would therefore be of advantage to reliably detect and limit variations in the water content during the pouring process.
Checking the water content of fresh concrete by means of the kiln-drying method is time-consuming and is only done in exceptional cases.
There have to date been no findings from systematic scientific investigations aimed at establishing the applicability of such...
