Learn about maturity, drilled cores, field- and lab-cured cylinders, and compare them for concrete strength evaluation.
The maturity method is a convenient approach to predict the early age strength gain of concrete, using the principle that the concrete strength is directly related to the hydration temperature history of cementitious paste.
When choosing a method for concrete strength measurement and concrete field strength monitoring, it is important for project managers to consider the impact that each…
