A Fundamental Study on the Estimation of Water Content in Fresh Concrete by the Heat-Drying Method

가열건조법에 의한 굳지않은 콘크리트의 단위수량 추정에 관한 기초적 연구

This study is intended to check the possibility to estimate water content by heat-drying method with variation of W/C and slump. According to the results, in case of electric range method, when water content is less than 165kg/m$^3$ in mixture, it is estimated more and in more than 165kg/m$^3$, it is estimated less. It shows that water content in gas burner method is estimated less by about 2kg/m$^3$. Also, estimated water content shows difference by less than 12kg/m$^3$ in electric range method and by less than 12kg/m$^3$ in gas burner method. Therefore, it is thinked that if tested without error from preparing a sample to calculating amount of water, water content will be estimated exactly in the construction field.
