Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
According to an embodiment, there is provided herein a method of determining the air void distribution in a sample of fresh concrete. One embodiment of the invention determines a parameter related to air void distribution by applying a known pressure to a fresh concrete sample, measuring a first value representative of the volume under compression, releases at least a portion of the pressure, reapplies the same pressure to the sample, measures a second value representative of the volume under the second compression, and uses differential between the first and second values to estimate a parameter related to the air void distribution.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of determining a parameter indicative of an air void distribution of a fresh concrete sample, wherein is provided a first and a second container configurable to be placed into fluid communication with each other, the method comprising: a. placing said fresh concrete sample in said first container; b. pressurizing said second container to a first pressure; c. placing said first container and said second container in fluid communication; d. dete…
