Cracking and Temperature Control in Mass Concrete Construction

Abstract:

With the development of economy, the area of construction grows fast, the use of mass concrete basic of the high-rise and large building also becomes normal. So the cracking control of mass concrete has become an important topic nowadays. In this paper, the mechanism of the cracking and the methods to control the cracking will be studied. And then the stress and temperature field of the basic platform of the national stadium in the mass concrete curing period will be studied by infinite element method. After that, results of the infinite element method will be compared with the results of monitoring. At last, we can come to a conclusion that the cracking of the mass concrete can be controlled in reasonable limits by some measures.
