Five-minute cement quality test could replace week-long standard

A new test developed at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign can predict the performance of a new type of cementitious construction material in five minutes—a significant improvement over the current industry standard method, which takes seven or more days to complete. This development is poised to advance the use of next-generation resources called supplementary cementitious materials—or SCMs—by speeding up the quality-check process before leaving the production floor.
