Purdue University has revolutionized the construction industry with an innovative technology that can save millions of taxpayers' money!
No longer have to rely on concrete samples
Lu and her team started creating this invention in 2017 when the Indiana Department Of Transportation asked for help eliminating the premature breakdown of freshly restored concrete pavement. Large concrete samples must be tested at a lab or on-site facility according to methods utilized by the sector for more than a century. Engineers calculate the specific concrete mix's strength level after being poured and given time to develop at a construction site using that data.Engineers can estimate when fresh concrete is mature enough without relying on concrete samples with this technology. Instead, they can monitor the new concrete and measure its properties simultaneously.
Workers can install them by tossing them onto the ground of the concrete and covering them with concrete. The sensor cable is plugged into a reusable handheld gadget, immediately logging data. For as long as the strength data is needed, workers can access real-time updates on changes in concrete strength using the app.With this cutting-edge technology, traffic congestion caused by road repairs could be a thing of the past.
Combining artificial intelligence and sensors that collect data from highways across America, they are working hard to optimize the design process - paving a greener future ahead.
