ASTM C1074
Full Name
ASTM C1074 – Standard Practice for Estimating Concrete Strength by the Maturity Method
Scope
This practice provides a procedure for estimating concrete strength by means of the maturity method. The maturity index is expressed either in terms of the temperature-time factor or in terms of the equivalent age at a specified temperature.
This practice requires establishing the strength-maturity relationship of the concrete mixture in the laboratory and recording the temperature history of the concrete for which strength is to be estimated.
