Jon Belkowitz is the Vice President of Intelligent Concrete, LLC specializing in Concrete Research, Development and Education with a focus on Nanotechnology.
CRMCA has invited Dr. Jon Belkowitz with Intelligent Concrete, along with a team of presenters around the industry, to help educate the industry on maturity meters. CRMCA is providing this seminar for informational purposes only and currently has no official position regarding the use of maturity meters for quality control and assurance measures.
The seminar will take place at the Pinehurst Country Club on May 24 from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. The event is free for CRMCA Members as well as personnel of Governmental/Municipal entities; Non-Members will be charged $25.

The use of maturity to identify the change in strength of concrete has it roots in the mid-60s but did not see much popularity until the late-70s. In the early and mid-70s a series of fatal construction disasters motivated engineers, contractors, and researchers to identify problems with construction practices in cold-weather climates and formulate new quality control measures. Concrete maturity was instituted as the quality control measure. Where concrete maturity is recognized as the prediction method that correlates temperature development at specified ages in order to acquire appropriate in-place strengths. The intent of this seminar is to identify the history and importance of concrete maturity, while providing information the future possibility of using concrete maturity for quality control and assurance measures.
By attending this session, attendees will be able to:
- Understand the history and importance of adopting concrete maturity for the progression of job-site quality control
- Recognize and apply to the features and benefits of concrete maturity
- Identify and overcome the road-blocks for concrete maturity for long-term quality assurance
- Understand the different types of maturity sensor types and prediction models available.
Who Should Attend?
- Professional Engineers
- Contractors
- Concrete Suppliers
- Construction Superintendents
