Abstract:In the present study, a combination of experimental techniques is studied to monitor the state of fresh concrete inside composite formworks. The aim is to acquire information about the stiffness of the concrete for which safe removal of the formworks can be done. Determining early age properties of concrete is important not only for ensuring safety on construction sites but also for presenting economic advantages. Removal of formworks in the appropriate time avoids delays in the construction works and allows t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
