Recently, the underground reinforced concrete(RC) box structures have been increasingly built in Korea. In such structures, the heat of hydration may cause serious cracking problems. The RC box structures are classified in this category that needs much attention to control the hydration heat during construction. The purpose of the present study is to analyse the parameters which are related to the thermal crackings of the box structures. In this study, the quantitative studies of thermal stresses according to construction conditions in the RC box structures are thoroughly analysed. Major influencing variables are studied through the finite element analysis which affect the thermal cracking of RC box structures.

Most compressive strengths commonly used in the construction field are in a range of 240 to 300 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 28 days. To get this rage of strengths, however, high-flowing concrete requires cementitious binders more than 400 to 450 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for preventing segregation and sedimentation of aggregates. This amount of cementitious binder generates a large emission of excessive hydration heat, which may consequently induce harmful cracks in concrete structure. In order to reduce excessive hydration heat, thus, this paper aims at fabricating a high-flowing concrete under the condition that cement content is kept as low as 350kg/$\textrm{cm}^3$ by using viscose agents. In a parametric study, effects of cement types such as a ternary blended cement and Type V on he physical characteristics of high-flowing concrete were evaluated. In addition, the influence of viscosity was also investigated by applying two different viscose agents, one in a range of 6,000 to 10,000 cps and the others of 10,000 to 14,000 cps. In terms of chemical admixtures used in concrete mixture, the superplasticizer was Sulfonated Melamine-Formaldehyde Condensate with about 30,000 of molecular weight, and main component of viscose agent was HPMC (Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose). Slump flow was fixed at 50cm with different dosages of superplasticizer in weight.

Recent construction method in mass concrete structures would depend on the control of hydration heats and thermal stresses by using the low heat cement, optimized block size and a lift height, or both. This experimental study aims at the possibility of thermal cracks according to the different types of cementations material and at the investigation of these effects. Four different types of cements are applied to the mock-up test and are evaluated in terms of temperature rises and thermal stresses with the use of thermocouples, strain gauges and effective stress gauges. As a result of this study, it was found that stresses measured from effective stress gauges agree well with ones form strain gauges, and the trend of stress occurrence can be well evaluated from theoretical analysis.

최근 도심지에는 건축물이 점차 초고층화하는 경향에 따라 매우 두꺼운 매스콘크리트가 건축물의 기초로 채택되어 진다. 그런데, 이와 같은 매스콘크리트는 현장여건상 다량의 콘크리트를 동시에 타설할 수 없기 때문에 상 하층 타설 콘크리트간의 일체성에 의문이 제기되는 것은 물론이고 수화발열시 간의 상위에 따른 내응력에 의한 균열이 발생하여 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 매트콘크리트의 상 하층 수화발열시간의 상위에 따른 내응력에 의한 균열에 대한 안전성을 확보하기 위한 목적으로 초지연제의 응결시간차를 활용한 수평분할타설 건축 매스콘크리트의 수화열 조정공법을 건축현장에 적용하고자 Mock-up test를 통하여 그 효율성을 확인하였다. 실험결과 2단 및 4단으로 초지연제에 의한 응결시간차공법을 활용한 경우 하부와 상부간의 온도차를 낮추고, 수화열 피크시점이 후기로 늦어짐에 따라 균열발생가능성을 저하시키는 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 고성능콘크리트의 강도조절과 수화열 저감을 위하여 쇄석 쇄사 생산시 발생되는 쇄석미분말을 사용하여 고성능콘리트의 강도, 유동성 내구성능 및 건조수축 특성을 검토한 것이다. 실험결과 쇄석미분말은 치환율 10% 증가시마다 무치환시의 압축강도를 약 $10{\sim}15%$씩 감소시키며, 변형계수와 물구속비를 감소시켜 고성능콘크리트의 유동성 향상에 효과적이다. 또한, 고성능콘크리트에서 쇄식미분말 10% 치환시 마다 단위시멘트량 감소에 따른 최고 단열온도상승량을 약 $4^{\circ}C$씩 감소시켰다. 반면 건조수축랑은 10% 치환시마다 약 5% 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 고성능콘크리트의 내구성은 단위분체량과 유동성향상에 따른 조직의 치밀화로 쇄석미분말의 치환에 관계없이 상대동탄성계수 100%이상으로 우수하게 나타났다. 이와 같이 문제로서 쇄석미분말의 사용은 치환량에 따른 고성능콘크리트의 강도조절이 가능하며 수차 발열량을 저감시킬 수 있다.

This paper investigates the corrosion inhibition and the reduction of hydration heat properties of Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBFS) added concrete. Since the massive civil structure is vulnerable to the thermal crack by hydration. adiabatic temperature rising tests were performed for water-binder ratios from 43.2% to 47.3%, while replacing 15% to 50% of cement with GGBFS of equal weight. Then, the corrosion protection performance was evaluated using cylindrical specimens embedded with steel reinforcement according to the combination of 3 W/B ratios and 2 levels of chloride ion quantity. The corrosion area of the embedded steel ban was determined using the high pressure steam curing method specified in KS F 2561. The test results showed that the replacement of GGBFS was effective in reducing the hydration heat. The corrosion area of the embedded steel ban decreased as the replacement of GGBFS increased. However, the corrosion area of the steel bar was proportional to the autoclave cycle and the chloride ion quantity. Among the tested specimens, compressive strength, reduction of hydration heat, and corrosion inhibition performance were excellent when 50% of cement was replaced with GGBFS of equal weight.

Hydration heat and thermal induced cracking have always been a fatal problem for massive concrete structures. In order to study a massive reinforced concrete wall of a storage tank for liquefied natural gas (LNG) during its construction, two mock-ups of $0.8m{\times}0.8m{\times}0.8m$ without and with metal corrugated pipes were designed based on the actual wall construction plan. Temperature distribution and strain development of both mock-ups were measured and compared inside and on the surface of them. Meanwhile, time-dependent thermal and mechanical properties of the concrete were tested standardly and introduced into the finite-element (FE) software with a proposed hydration degree model. According to the comparison results, the FE simulation of temperature field agreed well with the measured data. Besides, the maximum temperature rise was slightly higher and the shrinkage was generally larger in the mock-up without pipes, indicating that corrugated pipes could reduce concrete temperature and decrease shrinkage of surrounding concrete. In addition, the cooling rate decreased approximately linearly with the reduction of heat transfer coefficient h, implying that a target cooling curve can be achieved by calculating a desired coefficient h. Moreover, the maximum cooling rate did not necessarily decrease with the extension of demoulding time. It is better to remove the formwork at least after 116 hours after concrete casting, which promises lower risk of thermal cracking of early-age concrete.

Once a structure fabricated with mass concrete is in a form of wall such as retaining wall, side walls of a concrete caisson and so on, cracks induced by hydration heat have been known to be governed by exterior restraints which are mainly related to the boundary conditions of the structure. However, it is thought that the degree of restraints can be alleviated considerably only if a lift height of concrete placement or a panel size of the wall is selected properly before construction. As a way of minimizing thermal cracking commonly observed in massive wall-typed structure, this study aimed at evaluating effects of geometrical configuration on the temperature rise and thermal stress through parametric study. Evaluation of the effect was also performed for cement types using anti-sulphate cement, blast furnace slag cement and cement blended with two mineral admixture and one ordinary Portland Cement. so called ternary blended cement. As a result of analytical study, it was found that a lift height of concrete placement is the most important factor in controlling thermal cracking in massive wall, and the increase of a lift height is not always positive to the crack occurrence as not expected.

The strength and dimension of recent constructed subway box structures are increased considerably. These increases are resulting in much initial cracks by hydration heat and thermal stress. According to previous studies, decrease of cement amount by using superplasticizer and L/H value is the best way to eliminate hydration heat and stress. The analyses using finite element model were performed. By the result of analysis, the use of superplasticizer and the decrease of the change of longitudinal placing length are proved to be more effective for elimination thermal cracks. By ACI Code, for longitudinal placing length 25 m, the amount of wall temperature reinforcement is always lack despite of concrete mix proportion. With analytical result and the inducing crack joint, the in-site test were performed and the analytical results proved to be effective. However, the inducing crack joint is not effective if it is a small size.
