Concrete maturity
Maturity is an allowable method to determine development of concrete strength. See Specification 2461.3.G.6, "Estimating Concrete Strength by the Maturity Method."
Introduction
- The maturity method is an non-destructive procedure used to estimate the strength of in-place concrete based on temperature history of the concrete.
Uses
- Predicting opening times to traffic, striping forms, terminating cold weather protection are several uses for the maturity method.
