Thank you all for your important/ critical input. In a nut shell, creep behaviour shall also be considered in recently cast concrete slab when it comes to early loading (and not just the compressive strength). Regards

Thanks Ishvaag and Dik for the insight.

Thanks Ishvaag, Ofcourse the later is better but sometime unavoidable due to schedule constraint or delays. By the way, we are achieving full concrete strength after 3 days. Does it give some assurance that early loading well within the design strength (shear and moment capacity) of newly cast...

Can someone share with me the criteria or requirement for early loading of concrete slab while it is still under curing period. The early loading is primarily due to movement of crafts, formwork table for next level of slab, temporary storage of rebar, wooden planks etc. Appreciate your help...
