The Doka Concremote serviceSystem description

Concrete monitoring: how it works, how it is used

Measuring concrete strength in real time.Concremote is a service for performing non-destructive real-time measurement of concrete strengths in struc-ture members (floor-slabs, walls, beams, etc.) on the site.This service comprises two parts: ▪ measuring-sensors ▪ data management and processingThe sensors placed on the structure member continu-ously measure the heat development of the concrete, which is mainly influenced by the hydration heat of the cement and by ambient temperatures. The more intense the heat development, the faster the strength development of the concrete.The measured data (temperature measurements) from the structure member are transmitted to the com-puting centre via the mobile communications network as data packets. At the computing centre, they are automatically evaluated by the maturity monitoring method, using calibration measurement.A separate calibration measurement is needed for each different grade of concrete to be measured at the site. This calibration measurement must be performed either by the clients themselves, by the concrete sup-plier or by an appointed test laboratory – ideally, using Concremote calibration boxes. For this purpose, six cubes are stored under defined partially adiabatic con-ditions. The cubes are tested at different times, depending on the target value (for stripping, curing, etc.). Each of these tests yields a compressive strength value, and the temperature value associated with it. From this calibration measurement, the relationship can be computed between the strength and the matu-rity of the grade of concrete concerned.The Concremote Web portal continuously provides these data and strengths to its users. This enables the user to follow the concrete strength development 'live'.As soon as the target value is reached, the next steps (stripping, pre-stressing, etc.) can be taken.

Precise measurement facilitates accurate control

Efficient construction processesThe strength values computed by Concremote accord-ing to the mainstream maturity methods (de Vree, Arrhenius, Nurse-Saul), permit targeted control of form-ing and concreting operations in real time.Concremote provides very accurate results on the basis of reference values, which in turn are based on the cube strengths obtained from the calibration meas-urement.It records profiles of both the concrete temperature and the ambient temperature around the sensors.

Multi-functional

2 types of sensorThe Concremote slab sensor and the Concremote cable sensor can be used in a targeted manner in all areas of cast-in-place building construction.

▪ CIP concrete slabs ▪ Wall and column formwork ▪ Crane-climbed and automatic climbing projects ▪ Bridge and tunnel building sites ▪ Mass concrete structures

Easy to use

Wireless data transmission and easy access from anywhereThe user-friendly Concremote Web portal can be used effortlessly and can be accessed from any internet-enabled device at any time.

Certainty for the construction project

Helps you take decisions and records your data ▪ Compliant decision-making based on the measured

data. ▪ Strength development can be estimated early on

from graphs. ▪ Printing and storage of data for long-term verifica-

tion.

Exact results enabled by calibration

The Concremote calibration box is used to cali-brate the different grades of concrete used. These calibration measurements provide reference data for computing the compressive strength develop-ment in relation to the maturity.Before the sensors are used, Concremote generates a calibration curve for each grade of concrete, by means of the Concremote calibration boxes.

Online data access

Via the user-optimised, web-based programme, users can access the data at any time. Furthermore, they can grant read and write permissions.Users can store data and unlock them for use by authorised persons.Accurate documentation ensures both certainty for the building process and transparency.

The temperature, maturity and strength data will help you take many decisions more accurately: ▪ Stripping time ▪ Crack width limitation (stresses) ▪ Loads ▪ Curing measures ▪ Pre-stressing ▪ Cycle times ▪ Temporary reshoring ▪ Construction conditions ▪ Concrete orders ▪ Team coordinationetc.

Selecting a measurement

➤Select the desired project, structure, location and part (from top to bottom) in the drop-down menu on the left-hand side .

➤Then select a measurement from the drop-down list at the bottom of the menu.

Under 'Measurement details' in the middle part of the drop-down menu you can see the parameters filed for the measurement.

What the graphs illustrate

There are four views, each showing detailed informa-tion; you can zoom these views: ▪ ‘Compressive strength’: in MPa (N/mm²) or psi. ▪ ‘Temperature’: in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. ▪ ‘Maturity’. In degrees Celsius-hours (°Ch) ▪ ‘Delta T’. The temperature difference between

defined measuring points, in degrees Celsius.

Temperature

This graph illustrates the temperature profile of the measurement as a function of time.The concrete temperature and the ambient tempera-ture recorded by the sensor are both displayed in one graph in different colours. Move the mouse pointer along the curve to view the measured values for each time stamp.The legend below the graph explains the use of the var-ious colours.

Maturity

The maturity curve is generated on the basis of the measured temperature, the time, as well as the con-crete data on which the measurement is based.Move the mouse pointer along the curve to view the measured values for each time stamp.

Delta T (temperature difference)

The delta-T curve shows the difference in temperature between the defined measuring points. The difference in temperature, for example between concrete core and the surface of the concrete, should be as small as pos-sible in order to avoid cracking; this applies in particular to mass-concrete structures.Move the mouse pointer along the curve to view the measured values for each time stamp. The legend below the graph explains the use of the various colours.

Application and usage

General

This section describes the most important ways in which the Concremote Web portal can be used. If you have any further questions or problems, please contact Concremote support or your Doka contact person.General notes regarding the measured data: ▪ All of the data measured and transmitted by the sen-

sors are stored in the computing centre for years. ▪ These data remain stored in the computing centre

even if a measurement is deleted from the Concre-mote Web portal.

▪ So a measurement deleted in the Concremote Web portal can easily be restored and the measurement result displayed again on the basis of the data stored in the computing centre.

How to repeat and copy a measurement

➤To copy a measurement, just select the measure-ment you want to copy and click on its drop-down button. Click on 'Copy'.

➤A pop-up window opens and you can enter a name, the starting date and also the starting time for the measurement. Here too, you have to confirm that you accept the 'General terms and conditions' and then click on 'Copy' again.

Reading the data

After entering all the data, you can monitor the meas-urement on the graph page. The recorded data are dis-played with a one-hour delay.

Note: ▪ If only the temperature is shown, without the com-

pressive strength, no calibration curve is on file for this measurement or you did not select a calibration curve.

▪ Note that compressive strength is not displayed until a certain maturity level has been reached. If ambient temperatures are low, for example, it might take a while before the compressive-strength cure appears.

▪ You can hide and show individual curves in the graph. You do this by clicking on the corresponding elements in the legend underneath the graph. A greyed text indicates a hidden curve.

Optional: Manual conclusion of a measurement

You can conclude a measurement in progress at any time by clicking on 'Stop measurement'.
