Neutron method for field analysis of plastic concrete
Description
A technique has been developed which employs two neutron sources (252Cf and 238Pu-Be) and three NaI(Tl) detectors to determine the H, Ca, Si and C content of calcareous aggregate concrete in its plastic state. These elements are indicative of the water, cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate components which along with air entrainment are key factors in strength determination. Data are presented which demonstrates the feasibility of the technique for analysis of typical samples in a total time of the order of 10 minutes
