(3) The utilization ratio of phase change material in the models which are used in this paper ware only 9.7%, 28.0% and 29.3% respectively, we should improve the utilization ratio of phase change material as much as possible to economize the cost in practical engineering application, and choosing a suitable phase transition temperature and material amount was the key to improve the utilization ratio of phase change material.

The Crack Pattern in Brunelleschi's Dome in Florence: Damage Evolution from Historical to Modern Monitoring System Analysis OTTONI Federica 1,a, COÏSSON Eva 2,b and BLASI Carlo3,c 1,2,3 Dept. of Civil Engineer and Architecture, Parma University, Viale Usberti 181/A, Parma, Italy a fede.ottoni@gmail.com, beva.coisson@unipr.it, carlo.blasi@unipr.it Abstract The aim of this paper is to show the potentiality of the historical analysis mixed with the experimental data elaboration in identifying the mechanical behavior of an ancient monument.
Considered for centuries the widest masonry dome in the world (the distance between two opposite corners measures about 42.2 meters, or else 72 florentine braccia), it is one of the fews huge masonry domes ascribable in engineering masterpieces (as the Roman Patheon, Hagia Sophia and Sulemain Mosque in Istanbul, Saint Peter in Rome).

Effect of Thermal Environment at Early Age on Hydration Phases Composition and Strength Development of Concrete Containing Fly Ash Fengchen Zhang 1, a, Dejian Shen 2,b, Jikai Zhou 2,c and Zhonghua Li 1,d 1 College of mechanics and materials, Hohai University, Nanjing 210098, China 2 College of civil and transportation engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing 210098, China azhangfc67@163.com, bshendejian@hhu.edu.cn, czhoujikai@163.com, d lizhonghua77@126.com Keywords: Thermal enviroment; Hydration phases composition; Strength developmet; Fly ash Abstract.
Hydration in some mass concrete is probably in thermal enviroment because of hydration heat, poor heat conductivity of concrete itself, and temperature difference between inside material and external environment, such as the dam of hydraulic engineering, deep foundation scaleboard of high building, pier of railway bridge, large size pile foundation or spread foundation, etc.
