Exploration for Maintenance Measures and Temperature Control of Mass Concrete Pile Caps

Abstract:

Distress in mass concrete is a problem in highway and bridge engineering. These mass concrete structures craze not by external loads, the temperature variation caused by heat of hydration and the temperature stress caused by concrete shrinkage are the main causes () for the leaks [1]. Therefore, the thermal stress and the temperature control have significant meaning in the mass concrete structures. Thermal cracks will break the structure globality and also decrease the durability of the structures during the construction time. In addition, the temperature variation will have a remarkable affection on the stresses variation of the structures during the service time [2]. This paper will discuss the temperature monitoring and the crack control projects of the mass concrete based on the cushion cap of an extradosed cable-stayed bridge which is being constructed.
