Abstract: In this study, the ability to monitor self-consolidating concrete during transportation to the jobsite and its implications are explored. At minimum, to confidently place concrete, a measure of the flowability and segregation resistance must be accessed. Using the hydraulic system on a ready-mix truck, relationships were developed to predict both the slump flow and segregation resistance in real-time. The predictions were tested for various mixes and materials.
