In Hong Kong, the most typical method adopted to determine the in-situ strength of concrete is to make test cubes from fresh concrete and then carry out compression testing for those concrete cubes. Could you imagine the contractors can utilize a concrete sensor to gain inside knowledge of what exactly is happening in their concrete, like a health monitor stuck inside producing vital readouts of the inner workings of the mix reporting on temperature, and analyzing data to estimate maturity levels?
