Fresh concrete robustness
New design and management methods for
fresh concrete properties
Nowadays, concrete mix design and production almost exclusively rely on deterministic approaches. This means that the mix design process fails to take account of fluctuations in the properties of raw materials; nor does it consider variations during production and casting. Likewise, no adequate approach has yet been developed for accurately and reliably responding to such variations already during the concrete production process, and for managing and adjusting the mix accordingly. The research presented in this paper focuses on techniques capable of capturing the material properties as early...
