Application of TDR Measurement Technology for Simulataneous Determination of Water Content and Salt Concentration in Building Materials
Project goals
1. Adjustment of TDR measuring technology to the determination of water content in building materials containing higher amount of salts. 2. Design of TDR experimental setup for simultaneous measurement of water content and salt concentration. 3. Development and testing of calibration procedures for simultaneous measurement of water content and salt concentration. 4. Verification of the proposed measuring technology for several types of building materials.
