Abstract:The use of microwave reflection measurements to continuously and nondestructively monitor the hydration of concrete is described. The method relies upon the influence of the free-water content on the dielectric properties of the concrete. Use of the method, on concrete blocks showed linear relations between the compressive strength, water-cement ratio, and block thickness with the dielectric properties. Some possible applications of the method are discussed.
