This paper persents the crack control of mass concrete in massive machine foundation. The dimension of the machine foundation is 52.6m$\times$14.4m$\times$8.5m. The one distinctive characteristic of mass concrete is thermal behavior. Since the cement-water reaction is exothermic by nature, the temperature rises inside the massive concrete structure. When the heat is not quickly dissipated, it can be quite high. Significant tensile stresses may develop from the volume change associated with the increase of decrease of temperature within the mass concrete structure. To avoid occurrence of harmful cracks due to hydration heat, special attention shall be given to the construction of mass cnocrete structures. The temperature control system of mass concrete is proposed in this paper. This system contains a discussion of materials and concrete mix proportioning, thermal analysis, curing method, temperature control, and measurement of hydration heat. As will be seen throughout the paper, the proposed temperature control system have a great effect on the temperature-related cracks on mass concrete structures.

Inchon International Airport Elevated Road Way is located between the Passenger Terminal Building and Transportaion Center which are Inchon International Airport core construction projects. The deck of the bridge is consists of 5-span or 6-span continuous pre-stressed concrete slab. Steel form has been used to enhance the quality of texture on concrete slab. Steel form has been used to enhance the quality of texture on concrete surface, lower surface of deck slab with the two way arch has been manufactured by highly professional manner in order to get an beautiful exterior architectural looks. The prestressed concrete deck slab is mass concrete structures with a high-specified concrete strength and a varying section in the range of 0.95-2.8m thickness. Therefore high risks of thermal cracking occurrence by heat of hydration highly are expected. To resolve such problem, we adopted type 1 cement and pipe cooking method at construction site through mass concrete specimen test and 3-dimensional analysis. For Pipe cooling we used 25mm diameter stainless pipes with wrinkles. Cooling pipe with spacing 50-60cm has been installed. And continuous pipe cooling with cooling water of 15$^{\circ}C$ was conducted for 2days. In present 8 span of all 29 spans construction has been completed. No thermal cracking heat hydration has been observed yet.

The setting and hardening of concrete is accompanied by nonlinear temperature distribution caused by developing heat of cement hydration. This leads to tensile stresses that may exceed the strength of the young concrete, and cracks occur. In this present study, the heat of hydration characteristics are obtained from a study in which insulated concrete cubes were tested. Based on test results, concrete heat of hydration characteristics according to unit weight cement and flyash replacement quantity are determined, then employed in a numerical temperature analysis that consider both environmental interaction and concreting phases. The numerical results are performed by ADINA - T. The analytical results are in good agreement with experimental data.

This paper presents a numerical study on the heat of hydration of reinforced concrete with different steel ratio. And this study intends to determine the effect of the steel on the variation of temperatures during hydration. In order to do this, the thermal analyses of the pier-foundation models were carried out using the finite element analysis program, ADINA. As the steel rate increased, the maximum temperature and the internal-external temperature difference decreased.

The relationship is investigated between material modeling of concrete and the evaluation procedure of thermal stress by the hydration heat. In this respect, some important points are suggested to which special attention should be paid to reasonably evaluate the thermal stress using the widely-used structural analysis programs. This study indicates that proper material model should be used to draw incremental stress evaluation that takes into account the change of elastic modulus with time. Some correction techniques are also presented when using the program that don't have proper built-in procedure for the calculation of the thermal stress.

The usual methods for the temperature control of mass-concrete structures include the use of low-heat cement, pre-cooling, post-cooling, or sheet curing. In order to control the heat of hydration during the construction of mass-concrete structures, the combination of the above methods is commonly employed. For the construction of mass-concrete structures such as massive pier or anchor, it is necessary to control the curing temperature with pipe cooling. In this study, the method of analysis on the effect of pipe of was proposed to prevent the thermal cracking due to heat of hydration In addition the effect of covering the concrete surface with blanket insulation was investigated. The results of the present study may be useful for the prediction of curing temperature of mass-concrete structures and the reasonable construction management.

Granulated slag from metal industries and fly ash from the combustion of coal are industrial by-products that have been widely used as mineral admixtures in normal and high strength concrete. Due to the reaction between calcium hydroxide and fly ash or slag, the hydration of concrete containing fly ash or slag is much more complex compared with that of Portland cement. In this paper, the production of calcium hydroxide in cement hydration and its consumption in the reaction of mineral admixtures is considered in order to develop a numerical model that simulates the hydration of concrete containing fly ash or slag. The heat evolution rates of fly ash- or slag-blended concrete is determined by the contribution of both cement hydration and the reaction of the mineral admixtures. Furthermore, the temperature distribution and temperature history in hardening blended concrete are evaluated based on the degree of hydration of the cement and the mineral admixtures. The proposed model is verified through experimental data on concrete with different water-to-cement ratios and mineral admixture substitution ratios.

In order to control hydration heat in mass concrete, pipe cooling method has been widely used. The pipe cooling method leads to the decrease of curing period by lagging materials as well as the decrease of temperature difference between center and surface of mass concrete member, There are two methods in the pipe cooling system, which are open loop system and closed loop system. However open loop pipe cooling system cannot be applied to the mass concrete structures when cooling water supply is difficult. To control hydration heat of high strength mass foundation in the central area of city, closed loop pipe cooling system was developed to solve the cooling water supply. This paper reports the performance results of hydration heat control with closed loop pipe cooling system.

This paper describes some results of various tests which were carried out with varying the fineness of salg from 6000 to 10000$\textrm{cm}^2$/g and the slag content in cement from 30 to 50wt% for the perpose of utilizing finely ground blast-furnace slag as an ingredient for high-performance concrete. Test for heat of hydration, microstructural and hydration characteristics in paste, and fluidity and compressive strength in mortar were carried out. From these test results, it was found that, by properly determining the content and fineness of the slag, it is possible to manufacture high-performance concrete that has low heat of hydration, high early strength development, fine pore size and a highly densified microstructure.

Our country has experienced variations in temperature as belong to the area of the continental climate that shows four significant seasons. These occur quality of construction. As the hydration of cement processes, the strength of concrete is developed. In order to improve the quality of concrete, various conditions including temperature and humidity should be maintained appropriately and concrete itself should be cured sufficiently This paper is basic experiment for estimating influence of strength by seasonal mock-up concrete's heat of hydration and estimate relationship of compressive strength development by curing temperature. And show basic document as quality control.
