Integrating IoT Technology in Concrete Curing: Implications for Core and Cube Strength Assessment

Abstract

Concrete's versatility, strength, durability, and flexibility make it a popular building material. The major issue today is a lack of fresh water. For the combination and cure of concrete in production, drinkable water is necessary. It takes 28 days to complete the curing process. So there is a huge need for water in the construction industry for curing purposes. The Potable water is becoming less available every day for a number of reasons. Therefore, a substantial sum of cost must be spent on the purchase of water. Advanced technology must be utilized to water in a forbidden way in order to reduce the amount of water wasted throughout the healing process. A sensor is use to design the smart concrete curing system, which would automatically supply water for curing based on the amount of moisture present in the concrete and the ambient temperature and humidity. The compressive strength of concrete was predicting use a several functions based on the curing temperature, moisture content, and water level. The experiment investigation was performed to measure temperature, humidity, and compressive strength of 7, 28, and 42 days after fresh concrete was poured into the core and cube sample model. In this study, the average compressive strength calculated using the developed sensor in core and cube sample. Results finding the surface of slab floor relative humidity in concrete slabs with surface curing is measured in the laboratory as well as on site.
