    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Gives two methods for determination of air content of compacted fresh concrete, made with normal weight or relatively dense aggregate with a nominal maximum size of 40 mm. Not suitable for aerated concrete, very stiff concrete which cannot be compacted by vibration alone and concrete made with lightweight aggregates, air cooled blast furnace slag or aggregates of high porosity.
