    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to methods of analysing and manufacturing gypsum panels, for example, suitable for use as building surface products. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a method of forming a gypsum panel. The method includes forming a porous slurry layer on a receiving surface using a plurality of operating parameters, and allowing the porous slurry layer to set to form a gypsum core of a gypsum panel. The panel is then cut to form a cut surface that extends through the gypsum core, and an image of a region of the cut surface is captured. The image is analysed to identify bubbles intersecting the cut surface. A measure of bubble contact in the gypsum core is then calculated from the identified bubbles in the image. Based on the measure of bubble contact, an operating parameter used for forming the porous slurry layer is modified.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a measurement device for a vibration device of a concrete-block production plant. The vibration device has a vibrating table and impact strips arranged parallel to each other and parallel to the ground with relation to their longitudinal axes. The measurement device comprises at least one measurement unit for distance. The measurement unit is arranged above the vibrating table and the impact strips, wherein the measurement unit can be guided orthogonally to the impact strips and parallel to the ground using a guide unit. During the guiding process, the measurement unit operates at predefined measuring positions and/or positions determined during the guiding process via the impact strips and the vibrating table, using the measurement unit, the vertical distances from the top sides of the impact strips and/or the vibrating table to reference positions, which result from the heights of the measurement unit at the respective measuring positions, can be determined.

    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for compression casting concrete to reduce the amount of cement, including: adopting any existing concrete mix proportion designed for concrete of given strength, mixing the concrete, pouring the concrete into a mould, and compressing the concrete at a given pressure, where 28-day strength of the compacted concrete is increased; gradually reducing the amount of cement while keeping the amounts of other materials unchanged, where 28-day strength of the concrete is gradually reduced until the concrete meets a design index; proportionally reducing amounts of water and cement in a last mix proportion while keeping the amounts of other materials unchanged, where during compression casting of the concrete, discharge of cement paste is gradually reduced until no cement paste is discharged; and compression casting a concrete member according to a final mix proportion.
