What does do?
Why? To help minimize uncontrolled early- age cracking…
HIPERPAV
Under the Hood
Compares early-age pavement stresses and strengths to determine if cracking is likely

Maturity Method
![Page 28: Use of HIPERPAV & Maturity Testing for Building Quality … · Solar Radiation . HIPERPAV First 72 hours Environmental Influences Overcast Conditions . Irradiation . Strength Time](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053022/6051ace1351eb5353113417d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What is the maturity method? Non destructive means to estimate in-place strength of concrete Strength is evaluated as a function of
TIME and TEMPERAPTURE For a given mixture, concretes of the
same maturity have the same strength
Background
![Page 29: Use of HIPERPAV & Maturity Testing for Building Quality … · Solar Radiation . HIPERPAV First 72 hours Environmental Influences Overcast Conditions . Irradiation . Strength Time](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053022/6051ace1351eb5353113417d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The concept of maturity is actually pretty simple.
More heat = More strength. More time = More strength. The Maturity Method simply combines both
time and temperature into an index value

Maturity Index
Calculate the Maturity Index by either: Nurse-Saul function Maturity index - temperature-time factor (TTF) Simple math Arrhenius equation Maturity index - equivalent age (te) More complex math
![Page 31: Use of HIPERPAV & Maturity Testing for Building Quality … · Solar Radiation . HIPERPAV First 72 hours Environmental Influences Overcast Conditions . Irradiation . Strength Time](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053022/6051ace1351eb5353113417d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Nurse-Saul function Maturity is a function of the product of
curing time and concrete temperature
Saul also introduced the “Maturity Rule” Samples of the same mix at the same
maturity has approximately the same strength whatever combination of time and temperature go to make up that maturity

Two Step Process: 1. Develop strength-maturity curve in the
laboratory (this can be done in field too) 2. Measure time & temperature (maturity)
in the field and estimate strength

placement, instrument in-place concrete

2. Measure in-place maturity to estimate strength Monitor maturity until it reaches the value
corresponding to the strength of interest
For critical operations, verify in-place strength (NDT, companion, etc)

When the maturity reaches this value, we can reliably say that the in-place strength is 3000psi
