Partially Compacted Weight of Concrete as a Measure of Workability
Abstract
The report describes a procedure, involving no manual operations on the concrete, that could detect any batch with either seriously deficient or excessive water content. A bottom-dump container of appropriate size suspended so as to overfill each time the mixer dumped could be weighed through its suspension system and then dumped. A range in weight representing satisfactory concrete could be determined and the plant arranged to reject any batch whose heaped loose weight was found to be outside the established range.
