Strenght prediction by using maturity for portland cement concrete pavement constructions at airfields Rasussen, Robert Otto et al

By: Series: ; 1893Publication details: Transportation Research Record, 2004Description: s. 18-25Subject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P8167:1893; VTI P8169:2004Location: Abstract: A recent demonstration of a noncomplex solution for monitoring concrete strengths in real time used concrete maturity technology. During a recent airfield concrete pavement construction project in Des Moines, Iowa, several commercially available maturity measurement devices were evaluated along with an innovative strength assessment and prediction system, Total Environmental Management for Paving. This field evaluation demonstrated that current maturity technology could be used to assess the strength of a concrete airfield pavement successfully in real time. Furthermore, the adoption of maturity-based technologies can expedite airfield repair and construction and can expand the knowledge of concrete pavement as it is placed.
