Abstract:
A smart cap system includes a cap adapted to fit on a concrete test cylinder, the cap including one or more internal surfaces, and one or more sensors disposed in or on the one or more internal surfaces of the cap, the one or more sensors being adapted to obtain a measurement of a characteristic of a concrete mixture disposed in the test cylinder. The cap may be adapted to fit on one of a 4×8-inch cylinder and a 6×12-inch cylinder. The one or more sensors may include one of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a chronometer, a heat flow sensor, a motion sensor, a pH sensor, a location detector, a GPS sensor, an accelerometer, a triangulation sensor, a thermoelectric heat flow sensor, a salinity sensor, a macro fiber composite (MFC) sensor, and a capillary sensor.

Claim (Index 13):
A system comprising:\n a network adapted to carry data; a plurality of cylinders containing respective specimens of concrete; a plurality of caps disposed on the plurality of cylinders, each respective cap being disposed on a respective cylinder and including:\n a top portion adapted to cover at least a portion of an opening of the respective cylinder, the top portion including a top interior surface; \n a side portion adapted to fit around a circumference of the respective cylinder; \n a sensor attached to the top interior surface of the respective cap, the sensor being adapted to measure a characteristic of the associated specimen of concrete located in the respective cylinder; and \n a transmitting device adapted to transmit, via the network, measurement data relating to measurements obtained by the associated sensor; and \n a processor adapted to:\n receive the measurement data from the plurality of caps; and \n for each respective cap, generate respective prediction data relating to a behavior of the associated specimen of concrete, based on the associated measurement data.
