THE RAPID ANALYSIS OF FRESH CONCRETE - PART II

A RAPID METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS OF FRESH CONCRETE WAS DEVELOPED WHICH PROVED TO BE RELIABLE AND ACCURATE DURING AN EXTENDED TRIAL UNDER SITE CONDITIONS. RESULTS ARE PRESENTED OF A SITE TRIAL OF THE EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUE OVER A PERIOD OF FIVE MONTHS. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE APPARATUS WAS CHECKED AT INTERVALS, THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD ON SITE, BY MEANS OF TEST MIXES OF FRESH CONCRETE OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. BECAUSE A NUMBER OF RESULTS CAN BE OBTAINED RAPIDLY WITH THIS METHOD, THE VARIATION IN CONCRETE COMPOSITION FROM A GIVEN CONCRETE MIXER CAN BE QUICKLY DETERMINED. THE METHOD IS CAPABLE OF A DEGREE OF MECHANIZATION WHICH CAN BE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE ITS PRECISION STILL FURTHER. NO SPECIAL FACILITIES ARE REQUIRED ON SITE TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT AND THE COST OF THE EQUIPMENT IS ECONOMICAL.
