Learn about maturity, drilled cores, field- and lab-cured cylinders, and compare them for concrete strength evaluation.
For years, concrete structures have played a pivotal role in the expansion and development of cities around the world. From housing to office buildings, these…
Concrete cooling systems are essential in construction projects that have mass concrete elements to monitor. This is because concrete generates heat during the hydration process….
The strenuous job of planning a reinforced concrete structure does not end after your project is complete. Concrete structures can be exposed to elements like…
In this blog, we will review the basics of concrete pour management, its benefits, and the technological advances available in the market to maximize your concrete performance.
Giatec 360™ is the world’s most advanced web-based dashboard for controlling and predicting the quality of concrete pours. With this latest online concrete monitoring software,…
Corrosion is a natural process that occurs when the steel rebar within reinforced concrete structures rusts. In scientific terms, concrete corrosion is the “destruction of…
A concrete mix is a combination of five major elements in various proportions: cement, water, coarse aggregates, fine aggregates (i.e. sand), and air. Additional elements,…
Corrosion is a natural process that occurs when a structure is exposed to elements like CO2 or chloride, which can penetrate the concrete all the…
Summer is a busy time for the construction industry. The warm months present a chance to get a lot done, and avoid the extensive challenges…
The maturity method is a convenient approach to predict the early age strength gain of concrete, using the principle that the concrete strength is directly related to the hydration temperature history of cementitious paste.
When choosing a method for concrete strength measurement and concrete field strength monitoring, it is important for project managers to consider the impact that each…
As we build concrete structures, it is important to know the ability they have to withstand compressive loading and to find ways to improve it….
The fast-paced environment of the construction industry results in a constant search for better and more efficient ways to evaluate the quality of concrete. Despite…
Before we delve into the process of its removal, it is essential to understand what “formwork” means in the concrete sphere. As described by Hunker, formwork that is set prior…
A listening ear, wise judgment calls, and real industry experience are attributes we pride ourselves on offering throughout your project life cycle. In this blog, learn about new customer onboarding at Giatec
Giatec has announced the release of its newest product, the SmartRock® Pro. This new sensor provides a superior solution for general contractors and producers to cut costs and save time. But, hows does it differ from the well-known SmartRock® wireless sensor? In this blog, let’s delve into the differences and similarities between these two innovative testing technologies.
In this blog, we learn the similarities in results and the differences in procedures between Concrete Electrical Resistivity (ASTM C1876) and the Concrete RCPT method (ASTM C1202). Likewise, we will discuss the advantages of concrete resistivity equipment as opposed to other devices.
The concrete game has changed. Find out what self-calibrating sensors can do for you with Giatec’s SmartRock® Pro.
