Is that building done yet? Researchers test sensors that could speed up construction schedules
Note to journalists: A video about the sensor installation is available on YouTube. Video and photos of the sensor installation are available via Google Drive. Journalists visiting campus should follow visitor health guidelines.
Future building complex at Purdue University is a test bed for new technology measuring concrete strength
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — How long it takes to construct a building depends in large part on when the concrete of each floor is strong enough to take on loads.
Purdue University engineers have developed sensors that could safely speed up a construction timeline by determining concrete strength directly onsite in real time.
