Concrete maturity is a widely practiced and effective method for estimating the strength of in-place concrete, based on its age and temperature history. Accurate strength prediction saves time and money by allowing efficient scheduling for form removal and reshoring or prestressing and post-tensioning operations. Mathematical equations compare a maturity index to previous physical tests of the same mix design.
Easy-to-use data logging meters log times and temperatures from pre-placed probes, and maturity values can be calculated for periods from a few hours to a few months. Maturity sensors are also available, which monitor concrete temperature and strength in real time through wireless data recording.
