Abstract:
Water has an obvious effect on both placability and strength of ready-mix concrete. The ability to track and modify the water content during delivery through in-transit management (ITM) systems has a profound effect on the risk to both the producer and contractor. This presentation will explore how ITM systems combined with machine learning can help identify ways to improve consistency and provide confidence such that overdesign can be reduced while decreasing overall risk. Case studies will be presented to demonstrate how this has been accomplished in a real-world setting.
