Measuring workability of slip form concrete using vibrator and accelerometer

BACKGROUND When mixing concrete, vibration helps to consolidate fresh cementitious mix by reducing the volume of voids, air pockets, and entrapped air, increasing density and strength of the resultant material. However, vibrational consolidation can be overdone, pushing out needed water from the mix. Currently, monitoring concrete to ensure proper...
