Limitations

The maturity method has proven to be a reliable and easy to use method to estimate the development of early concrete strength. Every test method has its limitations, so in this article, we will explain five of the limitations of…

What about hydration?

When cement, water, aggregate, and additives are mixed together, a significant heat increase occurs. This is due to exothermic processes in the reaction between the ingredients, cement and water (called hydration). Measuring the concrete temperature over time enables you to…

How does it work

A sensor is embedded into concrete. The sensors functions as a data transmitter and as a metal-piece further strengthening the product. The sensor is connected to the instrument (node) which transmits via radio to our private and dedicated application. Our…

Terminology

Activation Energy Represents the energy that a molecule in the initial state of the process must acquire before it can take part in a reaction. Calibration Curve Same as the “Maturity Curve” Compressive strength The strength recorded from compression tests…

Introduction

During a construction project, it is very important to know the strength of concrete because it will determine when it is possible to walk on the surface, remove the form-work, or continue building the product. The problem is that concrete…
