Rapid Analysis of Fresh Concrete
There are a number of tests which separate the components of fresh concrete and test for a variety of mix properties; however, none are as yet accepted by any standard.
There are some tests that do not require separation of the components of the concrete:
Thermal Conductivity -
Increase in water slows temperature rise.
Capacitance Test -
Higher water content, increases dielectric constant.
Electrical Resistance -
Electrical resistance of fresh concrete is inversely proportional to the water content.
Nuclear Methods -
X-rays, gamma-rays, and neutron activation analysis can be used to measure the cement and water contents.
