Abstract

Maturity method is an advanced technique for detecting the time and temperature during the strength development of concrete by using admixtures with constant consistency.This concept shows variable curing temperature which affects the strength development of concrete.This method is subjected toaccelerated curing process which leads to non-uniform curing of concrete,This hypothesis was tested in this work with sample study.Specimens made with 1:1.5:3 ratio of cement,sand and coarse aggregate wassubjected to various temperature such as 50,55,60 after 5 hours for 1day. Compressive strength was found to be good
