The application of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to determine
the composition of building materials is shown for concrete as an example.
The characterisation of the building material is done by measuring the con
tent of the three elements calcium, aluminium and silicon. The results are
included in a Rankin diagram.
