• Abstract:
  This project was proposed to evaluate the feasibility and methodology of implementing match cure technology and maturity measurement systems into TxDOT acceptance criteria for concrete construction projects. This report will deal strictly with the investigation into the use of match cure technology. There are four main objectives of this research project. First, the potential for using match cure technology in the precast concrete industry will be evaluated. Second, a set of guidelines will be developed for using this technology in the field. Third, the limitations of the technology will be evaluated and addressed. And, fourth, a revision of the current specifications will be developed to include the use of match cure technology as acceptance criteria for precast concrete.
