This study evaluated the in-site compressive strength development of high-strength concrete developed for the mass structures under cold weather condition. Two mock-up wall specimens with $2.0{\times}1.2{\times}1.0m$ in dimension were cured under an average temperature of $5^{\circ}C$. Core strengths measured at different locations of the mock-up walls were compared with the companion standard cylinder strengths. Test results revealed that the core strength of mock-up walls at an age of 3 days is higher by approximately 30% than the companion cylinder strength because of the high curing temperature effect generated from the heat of hydration of cementitious materials. Furthermore, comparisons with the prediction models based on maturity function confirmed that the effect of hydration heat on the curing temperature increase needs to be reflected to reasonably evaluate the on-site compressive strength development of concrete for mass elements.

매스 콘크리트 구조물에서는 콘크리트 타설 후 시멘트의 수화열로 인한 온도응력에 의해서 온도균열의 발생 가능성이 매우 높다. 따라서, 매스 콘크리트 시공시, 온도균열을 구조물의 내구성 관점에서 최대한 억제시킬 필요가 있다. 최근에는 국내에서도 단위시멘트량이 많은 배합을 이용하는 고강도 콘크리트 구조물의 시공이 증가되고 있다. 이와 같은 매스 콘크리트 구조물은 단위시멘트량이 많기 때문에 부재내 수화열에 의한 온도의 상승 속도가 빠르기 때문에 시공에 앞서 사전에 설계, 재료 및 시공 측면에서 온도균열 제어 대책을 검토할 필요가 있다.(중략)

Recently, due to the increase in high-rise apartment and residential-commercial complex buildings, a number of mega-class mass concrete members with a thickness of 3m or more have been designed. As the construction of mass concrete such as transfer beam and slab is increasing not only in foundation members but also in special structures, research on reducing temperature cracks in mass concrete is being conducted. To review temperature cracks in mass concrete, it is important to review the thermal properties of concrete, but it is difficult to use an adiabatic temperature rise tester in the field, so the semi-adiabatic temperature rise test is mainly used. In this study, to improve the accuracy of the results of concrete heat characteristics gained by the semi-adiabatic temperature rise test, various factors affecting heat loss compensation and methods were reviewed and presented.

매스콘크리트 구조물에서는 이미 경화된 콘크리트가 새로이 타설된 콘크리트의 변형을 제한하여 시공직후에 부재의 길이방향에 수직한 균열이 발생하는 경우가 자주 보고 되고 있다. 이 균열은 먼저 타설된 바닥에 대하여 벽체의 변위가 제한될 때 구속인장응력에 의해 발생된다. 이러한 균열의 발생원인은 몇 가지로 살펴볼 수 있는데, 그 하나는 먼저 타설한 바닥 콘크리트와 새로 타설한 벽체 콘크리트와의 수화열 발생의 차이에 의한 것이며, 두번째 이유로 바닥과 벽체사이의 건조수축의 차이를 들 수 있다. (중략)

In this study, to reduce the hydration heat velocity (HHV) of high-strength mass concrete at early ages, phase change materials (PCM) that could absorb hydration heat were applied, and the changes in autogenous shrinkage were investigated, as well as the relationship between the hydration temperature and autogenous shrinkage. The acceleration of the cement hydration process by the PCM leads to an early setting and a higher development of the compressive strength and elastic modulus of concrete at very early ages. The function of PCM could be worked below the original melting point due to the eutectic effect, while the hydration temperature and HHV of high-strength mass concrete can be decreased through the use of the PCM. A close relationship was found between the hydration temperature and autogenous shrinkage: the higher the HHV, the greater the ultimate autogenous shrinkage.

As architectures have recently become high-risers and megastructured, stable high strength products have been ensured. Accordingly, use of precast concrete accouplement has been increased in order to facilitate air compression and rationalize construction. Since not only external heating but also internal temperature rise caused by the accumulation of cement hydration heat in manufacturing process, precast concrete members with large cross-section used for high-rise mega-structure's columns and beams may exhibit different temperature history compared to the precast concrete members for wall and sub-floor with relatively small cross-sections. Therefore, this study aims to elucidate the characteristics of temperature history of mass concrete members cast with high-strength concrete for precast concrete application. In this study, large cross-sectional precast concrete mock-up, unit cement quantity, and temperature histories in manufacturing precast concrete member under different curing condition were inclusively investigated.

콘크리트부재의 함수량거동을 조사하기 위해 기존연구로부터 함수측정법으로 전기저항에 의한 전극법을 선정하였으며, 전구법으로 철근콘크리트 구조물의 함수량을 측정한 결과, 상온하에서의 함수측정에는 실용성이 있음을 확인하였다. 이같은 전극법은 175$^{\circ}C$ 고온히에서도 사용가능하도록 교정곡선의 작성을 위한 밀도법, 측정한 함수량의 정밀도등을 실험으로 검사한 결과, 고온을 받는 매스콘크리트 부재의 함수량거동이 전극법으로 측정될수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the vertical pipe cooling method was developed to propose the pipe cooling method suited for the vertically long mass concrete structures. FEM (finite element method) analysis was carried out to investigate the validity of the vertical pipe cooling method, and the temperature, the behavior of tensile stress of concrete and the crack index were investigated. In result, it was confirmed that the vertical pipe cooling method was effective in the thermal cracking control of mass concrete member.

A total of 6 stepwise constructions were made for building the floating mass concrete foundation. The optimal curing strategies and specialized construction guidelines were adoptively extracted from the 1.5m cube mock-up test prior to the main concrete work. Two different thermal crack index(TCI) calculations from current construction manual exhibit relatively low values as comparing the measured temperature data. This implies that the hydration-induced cracking could be developed in parts of concrete mass. However, the controversial phenomenons in reality were observed. No significant surface cracks are detected at the successive construction stages. Thereby, this paper raises the question regarding on the existence of characteristic length with varying size and shape of a target specimen which are missing in the current construction manual. The isothermal core area and high thermal gradient area in the edge volume should be identified and be introduced to TCI calculation for the purpose of an accuracy.

In this study, conducted a Mock-up test on the use of TBC and CGS fine aggregates for the purpose of reducing the upper and lower hydration heat according to the horizontal division and punching of mass concrete. As a result of the experiment, it is judged that it will be effective in preventing temperature cracking of mass concrete when mixing the upper and lower parts and replacing CGS.
