Abstract:The maturity method is a procedure that associates the evolution of the temperature of concrete cast to the structure and the evolution of its hardened state properties like compressive strength, usually at early ages. Its use is justified when safety and agility are required for activities like prestressing, shoring removal, demolding and low temperature concrete curing analysis. Temperate regions are known for having lower temperatures during the winter, which can delay concrete strength gains. The aim of th… Show more
