17 Abstract of Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of the University of Florida in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosop hy APPLICATION OF THE MATURITY METHOD FOR THE PREDICTION OF EARLY STRENGTH OF CONCRET

Measured concrete temperatures within the instrumented girders varied by as much as 30°F (17°C). Peak concrete temperatures measured in standard field-cured 6 × 12 in. (152 × 305 mm) cylinders cured alongside the girders were as much as 26°F (14°C) less t

maximum allowable expansion at 14 days is 0.300. 5. For any fine aggregate used in concrete pavement, the maximum allowable expansion at 14 days is defined in Table 1 below. If the fine aggregate has been previously tested by MnDOT, use the highest expans

The maturity concept uses the principle that concrete strength (and other properties) is directly related to both age and its temperature history. Maturity methods provide a relatively simple approach for reliably estimating the in-place early-age compres

Maturity is a non-destructive approach to testing concrete that allows you to estimate the early-age and compressive strength of in-place concrete in real-time. Adopting the maturity approach in your jobsite eliminates the need for concrete cylinder break

With the aim to test the applicability of the commonly used maturity concept introduced by Freiesleben et al [1] to modern concrete and to investigate the impact of the curing history on the compressive strength of laboratory samples cured at elevated tem

Aug 30, 2016 · in a drop-down menu, most maturity loggers default to the temperature-time factor. But for long-term strength prediction the maturity curves should be based on the equivalent-age method, which is better suited to predicting strength develo
