You are assigned to monitor the concrete strength gain at a construction site. The ultimate compressive strength of the concrete at its full maturity is 450 kg/m. The average concrete temperature at the construction site is 25 °C during the day and 15 °C during the night (assuming 12-hour day/night cycles). If you assume that the datum temperature (To) is - 10 °C, estimate the strength of concrete after 14 days. (4=35, B=51)Maturity Index, M = E(T - To).

The specified compressive strength of Compressive strength of concrete at 28 days is 35 MPa and a slump of 55 mm. Portland cement type I is used with specific gravity of 3.12, maximum size of aggregate 27 mm and fineness modulus of fine aggregate is 2.4, absorption capacity and moisture content of fine aggregate are of 0.92%, and 1.95% respectively. The dry-rodded unit weight of coarse aggregate is 1820 kg/m³, absorption capacity and moisture content of coarse aggregate are of 0.75%, and 1.85% respectively. Both aggregates have a bulk specific gravity (SSD) of (2.45). The aggregates conform to the ASTM C33-84 requirements for grading.
