WEBINAR - Pumping Air Entrained Concrete and the Super Air Meter

This presentation will discuss changes in the volume of air entrained concrete in pumped concrete. The work shows that during pumping the air volume will decrease and if measured immediately after pumping will be lower than what is found in the final concrete. These findings are supported by hardened air void analysis, freeze thaw tests, and measurement of the air void volume and spacing over time in the fresh concrete with the Super Air Meter. The presentation makes recommendations for modifications to the current testing specifications based on the findings.

The presenter will be Tyler Ley Ph.D., P.E. - Professor at Oklahoma State University
