Abstract:
This article describes an on-line computer-based system for reporting the results of ready-mixed concrete field tests. Central to the concept is the availability of data entry terminals at key locations: one terminal at the job, one in the testing laboratory, and one in the design office insures data entry with a minimum of duplicated effort as well as the availability of the results at the earliest time. A brief description of the program used to accept data and process results has been presented.
