Nonlinear temperature distribution induced by the hydration heat generates thermal stress in mass concrete. At early ages, such thermal stress may induce thermal cracks in the structure which can affect on the durability and safety of the structure. Up to now, a lot of works have focused on the prediction of temperature distribution and thermal stress in the structure. In most of such works, however, the inside of structure was considered as adiabatic state to predict temperature distribution and the thermal stress. And due to the lacks of appropriate analysis models after crack, there was little research on the crack occurrence. This paper deals with the prediction of the temperature distribution in the structure using the rate of hydration heat generation and also estimates the behavior of structure before and after cracking due to hydration heat using crack band model.

The temperature crack of concrete structure is caused by the phenomenon which the concrete volume is restricted in the inside or outside part due th the temperature variations induced by the hydration heat of cement. And mass concrete structures are weak in temperature crack. Seongdeok multi-purpose dam is gravity dam which is being constructed in Cheongsong-gun, Gyeonsangbuk-do. Upstream cofferdam was constructed to examine the temperature crack due to hydration heat and to decide the height of placement. Therefore this study performed the hydration heat analysis of Seongdeok upstream coffer dam to analyze the hydration heat according to different height of placement and to compare with measured results.

In this study, quantitative analysis on effect of hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage of concrete using BFS was studied. Especially, it analyze section data statistically which hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage rise, and it appeared the correlation of hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage as well as quantitative coefficients of the main properties. As a result, the section which hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage of BFS-50 rise rapidly is delayed than OPC, but the slope of hydration heat and autogenous shrinkage in that section appeared similar shape in each mixing. Finally it will be possible to control the amount of autogenous shrinkage because hydration heating velocity and autogenous shrinking velocity are decreased by using BFS.

This study investigates the efficient construction scheme of the immersed tunnel focusing on the hydration heat. In this respect, some alternatives in curing, temperature condition and removing of the forms are compared together to meet the required criteria. It is addressed that the strict construction stage analysis considering the placing scheme of concrete is one of the key factors to trace the realistic structural behavior for the hydration heat.

Carbon nanotubes are used in various industries with their excellent mechanical properties and electrical conductivity. In the construction industry, research is being conducted to give self-sensing capabilities to structures, but the results of experiments vary among researchers, and the analysis is insufficient. Therefore, in this study, the hydration and electrical properties of MWCNT-added cement pastes were measured. The electrical resistance values of hydration heat, porosity, Rietveld quantitative analysis, compressive strength, and distance were measured.. The heat resistance, porosity, Rietvelt quantitative analysis, compressive strength and distance were measured according to electrical resistance. Experimental results showed that the heat of hydration decreased with increasing MWCNT. XRD Rietveld quantitative analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the amount of hydration products with increasing addition rate of MWCNT. As a result of SEM analysis, the MWCNT is agglomerated by van der Waals forces, and this area is considered to be caused by voids and weak areas. The electrical resistance value decreases as the addition rate is increased, and thus may play a role for magnetic sensing in the future.

This study carried out to evaluate the hydration heat analysis and fundamental characteristics such as air content, slump and compressive strength for field application of low heat concrete with premixed cement. The results of experiment show that low heat concrete with premixed cement have sufficient performances on the workability and compressive strength. In addition, hydration heat analysis shows that low heat concrete with premixed cement make sure of target thermal cracking index. Therefore, it is desirable to apply the low heat concrete with premixed cement on pier foundation-column.

In the concrete structures, the magnitude and distribution of the temperature due to the heat of hydration are related to the thermal properties of each component composed of the concrete, the initial temperature, the type of formwork, and the ambient temperature of exposed surfaces. Even though the reinforcing steel bar has completely different thermal properties, it has been excluded. In the thermal analysis on the concrete structures. In this study, finite element analysis was performed on the concrete structures including the reinforcing steel in order to investigate their effect on temperature and stress distribution due to the heat of hydration. As the steel ratio increased, the maximum temperature and the internal-external temperature difference decreased by 32.5% and 10%, respectively. It is clear that the inclusion of reinforcing steel bars on the heat of hydration analysis is indispensable to obtain realistic solutions for the prediction of the maximum temperature and stresses

This paper describes the development of modified heat of hydration and maturity-strength models for concrete containing fly ash and slag. The modified models are developed based on laboratory and literature test results, which include different types of cement, fly ash, and slag. The new models consider cement type, water-to-cementitious material ratio (w/cm), mineral admixture, air content, and curing conditions. The results show that the modified models well predict heat evolution and compressive strength development of concrete made with different cementitious materials. Using the newly developed models, the sensitivity analysis was also performed to study the effect of each parameter on the hydration and strength development. The results illustrate that comparing with other parameters studied, w/cm, air content, fly ash, and slag replacement level have more significantly influence on concrete strength at both early and later age.

In this study, the hydration heat differential method was applied to mass concrete structures, and the hydration heat analysis was compared and analyzed with on-site measurement results. The results showed that the temperature history measurements of mass concrete were managed at a difference of 8.4 ℃, and although there was some deviation in thermal stress, a similar trend was observed. Consequently, it was determined that the thermal stress on the surface of mass concrete is less than its tensile strength, which would prevent the occurrence of thermal cracks.
