The maturity method is a convenient approach to predict the early age strength gain of concrete, using the principle that the concrete strength is directly related to the hydration temperature
How to Test and Check Concrete Temperature?Like with many other materials, concrete can change in quality as a result of its temperature. This is especially important when there are certain…
With traditional concrete strength testing practices, that is the use of cylinder break tests, the reliance on third-party testing labs is detrimental to a project’s timeline and budget. While wired…
Transforming Concrete Monitoring With SmartRock® Pro’s Self-Calibrating Technology
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...

Measuring Relative Humidity With Embedded BlueRock Sensors In Concrete
January 31, 2022
During construction, the internal relative humidity (RH) of concrete plays a significant role in the progression of work. Especially in slabs-on-ground or suspended slabs that are to receive moisture-sensitive flooring materials, professionals often rely on experience to understand the drying time of field concrete. Flooring materials such as sheet rubber, epoxy coatings, vinyl composition tile,...
