Given a concrete pour exposed to an average temperature of 10°C for 48 hours and a datum temperature of 0°C, calculate the maturity. If P is assumed to be 1.0, what does this imply for strength development?
💡 Hint: Use the maturity formula; substitute the values for P, T, T₀, and ∆t.
If concrete exposed to high temperatures gains required strength in 28 days, while at low temperatures it requires an additional 14 days, how does the maturity method help in planning?
💡 Hint: Reflect on how maturity measurements could adjust planning schedules.
