Description
Summary:The paper is devoted to investigation mechanism of cement mixture setting and stiffening. Method for registration of the acoustic oscillations induced during the heterophase transitions executing in liquid medium was proposed (method of acoustic emission (AE)). Using of conical vessel serving as a resonator allows the amplification of registered acoustic signal and provides high sensitivity of the registration. The experimental results show that the using of AE-method allows remote monitoring of the dynamics of concrete mixtures condition during setting. Therefore, this method can be successfully applied in building as a non-destructive method for determining the start and end of the solidification of the cement solution.
