Abstract	The knowledge of early strength gain in concrete pavement is critical for deciding when a pavement has sufficient strength to open to traffic without incurring the risk of early cracking, and in structural engineering for determining when formwork can be safely removed. The current practice of estimating in-place concrete strength by testing large numbers of beams and cylinders in the field has been found to be inefficient and difficult. The maturity method is a completely non-destructive technique for estimating concrete strength in the field. The objective of the work presented in this report is to provide Caltrans with information regarding the accuracy and feasibility of the maturity method for the measurement of concrete flexural strength of pavement slabs. Information is also provided regarding use of the maturity method for measurement of compressive strength.
