Influence of Casting Temperature on the Heat of Hydration in Mass Concrete Foundation with Ternary Cements

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study is conducted to evaluate analytically the effect of casting temperature on the heat of hydration in mass concrete foundation with ternary cements and Type IV low heat cement. The mat foundation has the dimension of 15m length, 20m width and 3m depth. Casting temperatures considered for mat foundation consist of 10, 20 and 30C ̊. A commercial software MIDAS/Gen was used to analyze the hydration heat of mass concrete foundation. The maximum adiabatic temperature rise (K), and the coefficient of temperature rise˰˸α˹˰for thermal analysis were drawn from adiabatic temperature rise test. Analytical results show that blended cement PSLB_352 is the most effective to control the heat of hydration in mass concrete foundation and external temperature increases the maximum heat of hydration and crack probability of mat foundation with mass concrete.
