| Project: | Two field methods were evaluated for measuring the water-cement ratio of concrete mixtures composed of both limestone and igneous aggregates. Only one of these methods, the microwave oven, was found to perform somewhat satisfactorily in obtaining a real-time field measurement. However using such a measure for quality control has limitations. | |
