• Abstract:
  The main objective of this study was to develop maturity-based guidelines for early opening-to-traffic of concrete pavements in the state of Indiana. The scope of the research included characterization of flexural strength development with time, establishment of relationship between flexural strength and maturity, and determination of earliest opening-to-traffic by correlating opening flexural strength with fatigue of concrete. Flexural strength is widely accepted as the opening to traffic criterion for concrete pavements. Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) uses flexural strength of 550 psi (3.79MPa) for opening concrete pavements to traffic.
