The efficiency of the traditional concrete curing process on site is low, due to the difficulties in providing continuous supervision and control of the curing environment, leading to considerable variation in the curing regimes experienced by different concrete pours. To enhance concrete curing practice, technologies have been harnessed which eliminate human involvement enabling more rigorous control of the environmental conditions affecting curing, but the potential for Internet of Things (IoT) technologies had yet to be explored in this context. This research study examined an IoT-based concrete curing control system based on sensor technologies invented for monitoring and controlling the moisture content of hardening concrete to the levels appropriate for good quality hardened concrete. Based on on-site experiments, the performance of this IoT-based method was compared with the performance of traditional curing methods. The results indicate that the system invented outperforms the traditional approach both in terms of concrete curing quality and time spent on supervision.

“…Despite the synergy between IoT and concrete activities, research into this area has remained in its infancy, where existing studies almost entirely have targeted specific use cases of IoT for concrete, overlooking the broad picture (Wei et al, 2018;Yang, Fan, Kong, Cai, & Chen, 2018). As such, the potential of IoT for enhancing the concrete supply chain as a whole has been overlooked in the now-available literature.…”

Concreting is generally a manual, labour intensive and time-consuming process, putting additional burden on constrained resources. Current practices of concreting are wasteful, non-sustainable and end products usually lack proper quality conformance. This paper, as the first outcome of an ongoing research project, proposes concrete as an area ripe for being disrupted by new technological developments and the wave of automation. It puts forward arguments to show that The Internet of Things (IoT), as an emerging concept, has the potential to revolutionize concreting operations, resulting in substantial time savings, confidence in its durability and enhanced quality conformance. A conceptual framework for a digital concrete quality control (DCQC) drawing upon IoT is outlined; DCQC facilitates automated lifecycle monitoring of concrete, controlled by real-time monitoring of parameters like surface humidity, temperature variance, moisture content, vibration level, and crack occurrence and propagation of concrete members through embedded sensors. Drawing upon an analytical approach, discussions provide evidence for the advantages of adopting DCQC. The proposed system is of particular appeal for practitioners, as a workable solution for reducing water, energy consumption and required man-hours for concreting procedures, as well as, providing an interface for access to real-time data, site progress monitoring, benchmarking, and predictive analytics purposes.
