Abstract

Generally, a determination of the water-cement ratio (w/c) of hardened concrete is not very useful, but there exist indirect methods for that purpose. A direct method, utilizing optical fluorescence microscopy, has been standardized by a Nordic organization; it requires the use of reference standards of a range of mixes with specific ingredients and a known curing history. The method is useful for quality control in repetitive production of concrete elements.
