      The Art of Precision: Achieving Perfect Concrete Mixes 

      When it comes to meeting the technical specifications for a given construction project, ready mix concrete is the art of choosing the types of ingredients, the right proportions to use them along with the right environmental conditions. To improve the strength, durability, and workability of ready-mix concrete one needs to ensure the quality of concrete during mixing, transporting, placing, and curing stays maintained.

      The “70-in-7” Rule: A Flawed Approximation  

      It takes around 28 days for a normal slab of concrete to cure to full strength. But adhering to the “70-in-7” rule in ready-mix concrete, a slab will attain 70% of its maximal strength 7 days after it is poured which is just a rough approximation without considering particular environmental elements such as temperature, humidity and evaporation rate which affects the curating speed. 

      By leveraging IoT, the conventional construction industry can be revolutionized. IoT-based distributing sensors can be embedded within a slab at various lengths and depths before concrete is poured to gain visibility into concrete’s performance throughout the curing process.
