The paper presents the maturity curve for estimating the in-place early-age compressive strength of concrete. The development of appropriate maturity curve is a complex process. It is important to correctly determine the datum temperature and activation energy, which can be obtained in mortar tests. This paper describes an investigation of the accuracy of the maturity method to estimate the strength when different way to rate constant and maturity function are analysed. High performance concrete used for construction of extradosed bridge was tested. The developed curve was implemented to predict the concrete strength at three construction stages, in summer, autumn and early spring.

Rich achievements have been gained on the problem of early age concrete. The application of concrete maturity is widely used in engineering to describe the strength of early age concrete. This paper presents the concept of maturity, research results of concrete maturity by scholars from both domestic and foreign areas, its development history, and method applicable scope of it. Degree of hydration method is also mentioned to make comparisons with maturity method. Both are recognized as valid tools to describe the strength behavior of early age concrete.
