Abstract
A method includes filling a cavity of a form defined by one or more boundaries with an uncured concrete mixture such that the uncured concrete mixture contacts or envelops a piezoelectric sensor within the form, receiving one or more electrical signals from the piezoelectric sensor as the uncured concrete mixture cures within the form to define a concrete sample, determining an electrical signal-frequency spectrum of the electrical signal(s) received from the piezoelectric sensor, determining one or more resonant frequencies of the concrete sample based on the electrical signal-frequency spectrum, determining a Young's modulus of the concrete sample based on the one or more resonant frequencies thereof, and outputting the determined Young's modulus or information based on the determined Young's modulus.
