Over the past year or so, you’ve gotten to learn about our latest product, the Maturix® Smart Concrete® Sensors, and the benefits they offer. Throughout it all, you’ve probably heard us mention the maturity method once or twice. It’s a concept that our wireless concrete sensors leverage to improve the process of concrete monitoring. But what is it exactly?
To answer that, we’ve brought on Marina Salvador, the instructional designer for the creator of the Maturix® Sensors, Sensohive Technologies ApS. Read on to see her define the maturity method these sensors use, what the steps involved in this method are, and what you can do to learn more.
The maturity method is a non-destructive test method that can be used to estimate the early-age strength development of concrete. The main assumption of the maturity method is that if two samples of the same concrete mix have the same maturity, they will also have the same strength, even if they were cured under different temperature conditions.
Thanks to new technologies and smart maturity systems like Maturix, which uses wireless temperature sensors and cloud computing, the maturity method is now a fast and easy method to use for real-time strength estimation.
The maturity method has three main steps, click to keep reading this blog on Kryton.com
