An Experimental Research on Prognosis of Compressive Strength of Concrete by using Sensor

Abstract

now a days there are many methods available to monitor the health condition of the structures. The need of monitoring of health of structures also serves as important factor because of lower quality of materials availability now a days. In this project the temperature sensor is embedded inside the concrete specimen to monitor the variation in temperature of the concrete due to process of hydration. Temperature is one of the major factor that determines the compression strength of concrete structures. The maturity in the temperature data can be monitored by applying this concept in real time application in field. The Internet of Things (IOT) technique is used to send and store the temperature data in the cloud server. With help of the data that stored in the cloud server maturity index formula is used to calculate the temperature time factor with help of which the strength of the structure is indirectly correlated and can be found. In case of the large scale projects there are various methods being adopted to find the strength attained in the concrete element in site such that by doing the cube destructive testing, this concept can also been adopted to ensure the strength attainment in concrete. Hence more than one method was been adopted to ensure the strength which allows the engineers to take the decision without any confusion
