A METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE CEMENT CONTENT OF PLASTIC CONCRETE

THE DEVELOPMENT IS DESCRIBED OF AN ACCURATE AND RAPID FIELD TEST FOR DETERMINING THE CEMENT CONTENT OF PLASTIC CONCRETE. THE SAMPLE IS WET SCREENED THROUGH A NO. 30 SIEVE AND DRIED IN AN IRON SKILLET OVER AN ALCOHOL BURNER. A CENTRIFUGE IS USED TO SEPARATE THE CEMENT BY USE OF A HEAVY MEDIUM. BY MEANS OF APPROPRIATE CALIBRATION CURVES, CEMENT CONTENT MAY BE ESTIMATED. RESULTS OBTAINED IN THE LABORATORY AND IN THE FIELD ARE DISCUSSED. /PCA/
