Quality control of concrete vibration

摘要

An apparatus (10, 20) and method of controlling concrete vibration is disclosed. The apparatus (10, 20) includes a global positioning sensor (11, 21) adapted to provide a location of a vibrator relative to a concrete structure, a recording device (21, 22) adapted to record data during vibration of the concrete, and a data transmission device (13, 24) adapted to transmit the data to a processor (14, 26) for analysis of the data to determine if the vibration is in compliance. The vibrator is adapted to vibrate the concrete to remove air contained therein and promote concrete consolidation.
