• Abstract:
  The evaluation of the curing process of a fresh concrete is critical to its construction process and monitoring. Traditionally stress ; sensor and compressive wave sensor were often used to measure concrete properties. Bender element (BE) test, a nondestructive test ; measuring shear wave velocity (Vs) was widely used in geotechnical engineering. Maximum shear modulus is the ratio of shear stress ; to shear strain. It used in determination of elastic settlement and stiffness. The use of bender elements to detect stiffness change ; through shear wave velocity is a non-destructive test. BE test was used to monitor the curing process of fresh self-consolidating ; concrete in this study.
