Determination of moisture content of concrete by microwave-resonance method
Abstract The moisture content of concrete is one of its important properties. A new method of measuring the moisture content of concrete and other building materials is described. The method is based on the measurement of the dielectric constant at microwave frequencies. Studies on concrete have shown that a linear relation exists between the evaporable water content of concrete and the instrument reading. The main advantages of this method are i) it is nondestructive, ii) rapid response of the instrument, iii) humidity gradients in the specimen can be studied iv) measurements are independent of the dielectric losses and the conductivity of the material, v) sharp resonance peak of the microwaves allows very accurate measurements.
