RAPID ANALYSIS OF FRESH CONCRETE

A CHEMICAL METHOD OF DETERMINING THE CEMENT AND WATER CONTENT OF CONCRETE ON SITE, WITHIN FIFTEEN MINUTES OF SAMPLING, IS DESCRIBED. THE CHOICE OF ANALYTICAL EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUE IS EXPLAINED, AND THE ACCURACY AND PRECISION OF THE METHOD IS EXAMINED BY REFERENCE TO TESTS UNDER LABORATORY CONDITIONS, AND FOUND TO BE ACCEPTABLE. RESULTS OF A SITE TRIAL OF THE EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUE, OVER A PERIOD OF FIVE MONTHS, ARE PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED.
