Abstract
The maturity method in which the strength increase of cement concrete is expressed as a function of an integral of the curing period and temperature of the concrete has often been applied to its strength prediction. For the purpose of the application of the maturity method to the compressive strength prediction of lightweight polyester mortars using an unsaturated polyester resin as a binder, the lightweight polyester mortars with various catalyst and accelerator contents were prepared, and the datum temperatures for the maturity equations were predicted in previous paper(Part 1). In this paper(Part 2), the maturity is calculated by using the maturity equations with the predicted datum temperatures, and the compressive strength is predicted by using the calculated maturity.
