Transforming Concrete Monitoring with SmartRock Pro’s Self-Calibrating Technology

Mehrtash Soltani August 13, 2024

Concrete is widely used in modern construction due to its accessibility, cost-efficiency, strength, and durability. However, its performance can be compromised by environmental elements, weather conditions, and natural disasters. Its performance can also be significantly impacted by any changes in the mix design and raw material used. A significant issue is the lack of efficient real-time concrete strength and temperature monitoring during curing. Premature removal of formwork and extreme weather conditions, such as cold or hot temperatures, can lead to structural weaknesses, delays, and costly repairs. Implementing real-time monitoring is crucial to ensure accurate assessment and timely adjustments, thereby enhancing the reliability and quality of concrete structures. Concrete is widely used in various structures, and ensuring its quality and required strength necessitates careful monitoring to confirm that the structure meets the intended design code specifications. The material’s quality is affected by…

Important Considerations of Cold-Weather Concreting

Mehrtash Soltani January 4, 2024

Cold weather concreting presents a range of challenges for contractors, particularly when working in very low-temperature environments. One of the primary challenges is the effect of temperature on the concrete’s setting and curing process. As temperatures drop, the hydration process of concrete slows down significantly. This delayed setting and strength gain can lead to construction delays, impacting project schedules and budgets. Engineers must carefully monitor and manage the concrete’s temperature during the placement and curing phases. This ensures the concrete achieves the desired strength and durability. Here are a few important considerations when we are preparing concrete in cold weather.How temperature monitoring is right for your cold-weather projects!Another significant challenge is the potential for freezing temperatures. If concrete is subjected to freezing conditions before it gains sufficient strength, it can lead to severe damage. Freeze-thaw cycles can cause internal cracking…
