Nonuniform temperature distribution due to hydration heat induces thermal stress in mass concrete. At early ages, such thermal stress may induce thermal cracks which can affect on the durability ad safety of the structure. Steel fiber reinforced concrete may be useful when a large amount of energy has to be absorbed, when a high tensile strength and reduced cracking are desirable, of an improvement of thermal conductivity is desirable. In LG IPP Project, the upper part(50cm) of turbine foundation was replaced with steel fiber reinforced concrete to reduce the thermal crack induced by hydration heat. It was shown that the thermal crack control could be successfully achieved by steel fiber reinforced concrete.

MOCK-UP TEST was conducted in the extreme region of the cement which was researched and developed by using the reducing slag Experimental results show that the basic properties (air volume, slump) are improved compared with the specimens using Mongolian cement. The compressive strength achieved the target strength (target strength: age 3day: 7MPa, age 7day 14MPa) and the hydration heat was about 8 ℃ higher than that of Mongolian cement products. Therefore, it is considered that the cement powders developed by our company showed the strength of concrete due to high hydration heat even at extreme temperatures.

This study is to hydration property of low carbon type recycled cement from waste cementitious powder and cement raw materials. Waste cementitious powder possible to low carbon type recycled cement in small part of additive materials. Also, low carbon type recycled cement using waste cementitious powder is suitable for low heat type cement.

As construction technology advances, most of civil engineering structures are becoming larger and taller. Therefore, high strength concrete is necessary for them. For high strength concrete, it needs a large amount of unit cement content and low water-cement ratio inevitably, so that a large amount of heat occurs in concrete. The thermal cracks make the durability and quality of concrete structures become worse, result from temperature rise and thermal stress due to heat of hydration. In this study, the proposal of using ground granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash and chemical admixtures was investigated to decrease the temperature rise of concrete.

Concrete has excellent mechanical properties, high durability, and economical advantages over other construction materials. Nevertheless, it is not an easy task to apply concrete to long span bridges. That's because concrete has a low strength to weight ratio. Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) has a very high strength and hence it allows use of relatively small section for the same design load. Thus UHPC is a promising material to be utilized in the construction of long span bridges. However, there is a possibility of crack generation during the curing process due to the high binder ratio of UHPC and a consequent large amount of hydration heat. In this study, adiabatic temperature rise and mechanical properties were modeled for the stress analysis due to hydration heat. Adiabatic temperature rise curve of UHPC was modeled superposing 2-parameter model and S-shaped function, and the Arrhenius constant was determined using the concept of equivalent time. The results are verified by the mock-up test measuring the temperature development due to the hydration of UHPC. In addition, models for mechanical properties such as elastic modulus, tensile strength and compressive strength were developed based on the test results from conventional load test and ultrasonic pulse velocity measurement.

This study was performed to know effective control of crack occurred by hydration heat, restraint of multiplication of hydration heat, through mechanical test, strength test and crack control test using fluosilicate salt based anti-crack agent made from by-product during phosphoric acid manufacturing process. Mix proportions for experiment were modulated at 0.495 of water to cement ratio and addition amount of fluosilicate salt based anti-crack agent to $1.0\%$. Condensation time was late and compressive strength of hardened concrete cured at several days was executed to evaluate characteristics of crack control for concrete. It is ascertained that characteristics of crack control for concrete could be improved by an adequate addition of fluosilicate salt based anti-crack agent.

This paper presents the analytical results on the heat of hydration and induced thermal cracking of the wall elements in LiNAC that is a radioactive shield concrete structure. This wall elements measuring 1.2 m in thickness and 32 m in length tend to exhibit thermal cracking due to heat of hydration and high constraint effects caused by slab element located in the lower part of structure. In this analysis, four different construction stages were considered to find out the most effective concrete casting method in terms of thermal stress. Among the construction methods adopted in this analysis, the method of installation of construction connection measuring 1.2 m at the both side of wall elements was very effective way to control the thermal stress, resulting in increase thermal cracking index of wall elements in LiNAC structure. Finally, the wall elements in LiNAC structure was cast successfully according to the proposed construction method.

In this experiment high-strength concrete of good workability is made by means of either replacing unit cement quantity to fly-ash by 20% or using low heat cement to reduce the internal hydration heat suggested as the fault of concrete. Concrete is poured through ready mixed concrete to test the ability of applying to the substantial works and is carried out the test of flowing and core strength and record of temperature of imitating specimens. It is capable to apply high-strength concrete replaced to fly-adh 20% to the substantial works through the experiment
