Automated Measurement of Concrete Slump Using the Verifi System

This study will evaluate the performance of an automated system of measuring the fresh properties of concrete in truck mixer. The automated system called "Verifi" enables the evaluation of slump and temperature variations as well as monitoring of the amount of water and/or dispersant added to the mixture. This collaboration is essential for future quality management of infrastructure materials.
