2. Concrete moisture meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_moisture_meter

   A concrete moisture meter is a type of moisture meter used by installers of flooring to measure the moisture levels of concrete. These meters have been used for decades to measure the moisture content in different materials and substances. Concrete meters have evolved from the successful wood moisture meter as flooring contractors tried to use ...

3. Proctor compaction test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proctor_compaction_test

   Proctor compaction test. The Proctor compaction test is a laboratory method of experimentally determining the optimal moisture content at which a given soil type will become most dense and achieve its maximum dry density. The test is named in honor of Ralph Roscoe Proctor [de], who in 1933 showed that the dry density of a soil for a given ...

4. Flow table test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_table_test

   The cone filled with concrete, prior to lifting. The diameter of the resulting flow is measured. The flow table test or slump-flow test is a method to determine consistency of fresh concrete. Flow table test is also used to identify transportable moisture limit of solid bulk cargoes. [1] It is used primarily for assessing concrete that is too ...

5. Moisture meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_meter

   Moisture meters are measuring instruments used to measure the percentage of water in a given substance, as physical properties are strongly affected by moisture content and high moisture content for a period of time may progressively degrade a material. Meters exist for various substances, including wood, building materials, concrete, and soil.

6. Epoxy moisture control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy_moisture_control_system

   Epoxy moisture control systems can be applied over concrete with relative humidity levels up to 100%, and there are systems available on the market today that can be applied over concrete that is physically damp. In some cases, with the use of an epoxy moisture control system, floor coverings can be installed just 7 days after the slab is poured.

7. Creep and shrinkage of concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Creep_and_shrinkage_of_concrete

   Creep and shrinkage of concrete are two physical properties of concrete. The creep of concrete, which originates from the calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) in the hardened Portland cement paste (which is the binder of mineral aggregates), is fundamentally different from the creep of metals and polymers. Unlike the creep of metals, it occurs at ...
