Basically I want to know if there is a machine or equipment that can be used to test concrete mix during construction or during poring as we are making a high rise building. We want to that’s a concrete next as soon as the derived from the cement plant to avoid mistakes and corrections.
Please let me know all the test that can be carried out during construction. Thank you

The concrete pressure on formwork can be calculated without measurement. However, I can see that you’d like to be sure about it with experimental verification.
The device used for this kind of an experiment is called a dilatometer. It is more common in the geotechnical field but is also used for concrete pressure calculation.
