No matter where you are in the world, the ability to accurately measure the early age compressive strength of concrete is vital for a wide spectrum of construction projects. Concrete maturity directly affects the structural integrity and safety standards of job sites as well as the speed at which a project can be completed, all of which also impact economic considerations. The more accurately and quickly in-situ compressive strength can be measured, the better contractors and engineers can optimize critical activities such as formwork removal, opening roads to traffic and many more.

While measuring concrete strength is one of the most important aspects of construction, general contractors, engineers, and the construction industry as a whole have always struggled with predicting the time needed to reach design strength at a given time.

Concrete Maturity Method Definition

There are several ways to test concrete strength, but the concrete maturity method has emerged to become the champion of concrete strength prediction thanks to its non-destructive nature and ability to provide relevant data quickly and efficiently. This technique can be measured in real-time and is based on the principle that concrete strength is directly related to its hydration temperature history.
