Internet of Things-Based Concrete Curing Invention for Construction Quality Control

Table 3

Experiment A procedures.

Steps

1Prepare 3 sets of horizontal fresh concrete (0.4 m width × 0.3 m height × 0.1 m depth)
2Cure 3 sets of concrete by air, IoT device, and hand, respectively
3Measure and record initial concrete temperature and surface dampness
4Observe and record the initial appearance of concrete surface
5Observe and record the concrete surface bleed water every 10 minutes; at the same time, measure the temperature and surface dampness until it reaches final set (225 minutes after placing)
6Measure the surface dampness and temperature of 3 sets of samples as they just reach final set
7Compare and discuss the results
