The crack of concrete induced by a temperature rise in early age concrete due to the heat of ration of cement is a serious problem for massive or high strength concrete structures. However, re is still no reasonable equations for the prediction of the temperature rising. On this study, the prediction equations of the heat of hydration of different types of binder are pained from the adiabatic temperature rise test, and compared with the results from different nations to obtain the best approximated equation. The strengths of concrete of which specimens were placed in the same chamber for the adiabatic to were compared with those under standard curing.

In this study, a method to reduce temperature rise due to hydration in mass concrete is investigated. It is to use retarder (glucose) for reducing heat of hydration and to use calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) for compensating the retardation effect due to its role as a nucleation seed. For this purpose, the temperature rise of cement paste due to hydration was measured and the effect of using both C-S-H and glucose on setting and 28-day compressive strength of mortar specimens was investigated. According to the experimental results, using C-S-H and glucose caused the reduction in the maximum temperature but accelerated the time to reach the maximum temperature compared to that of retarded cement paste using glucose. In addition, using C-S-H and glucose did not show significant effect on 28-day compressive strength of mortar specimens, indicating that the method shown in this study can be a successful alternative to control maximum temperature rise in mass concrete.

In this paper, we are presenting a case that integrates ultra high strength concrete(150MPa) with surface-exposed concrete. Ahead of the field application, we carried out laboratory experiment and B/P Test for a basic property of concrete(slump flow, air content, 50cm flow time, elapse time change and compression strength) and productivity. The next, we conducted Mock-up Test using simulation specimen to evaluate infilling, surface-finishing and hydration heat of concrete. We had satisfactory results for a basic property and hydration heat of concrete. However at the time of field application, it was occurred rupture of formwork because of high lateral pressure of concrete, and then formwork was reinforced and case-in-place time was adjusted. And regardless of low and high frequency vibration, it occurred to surface-pockmark. In case that applies ultra high strength concrete to surface-exposed concrete, we estimate that it is important of systematic management and improvement of construction.

The main disadvantage of rapid setting concrete is the occurrence of cracking because of fast hydration reaction due to high thermal expansion and shrinkage. However, if the fly ash is used in concrete, it is possible to prevent cracking since the hydration heat can be decreased. Although Very-Early Strength-Latex Modified Concrete(VES-LMC) is an excellent material, occurrence of cracking has been reported because of high hydration heat. In the present study, new method which can apply the fly ash to the VES-LMC was developed. Research for the new method to improve the safety for the cracking was conducted. Safety was confirmed by reducing the shrinkage and hydration heat in the condition of overcoming the low early-age strength. Detailed conclusions are follows. Early-age compressive strength was decreased a little with increase of UFFA content. However, 28-d compressive strength was statistically insignificant regardless of UFFA contents. If the UFFA is replaced 15% to 20% of unit cement weight in concrete, maximum shrinkage can be reduced up to 43% to 47%. Usage of UFFA in VES-LMC guarantees the safety for cracking since it is very effective to control of early-age shrinkage.

In this study, a program for evaluation of heat transfer and thermal stress of mass concrete is developed and verified by 2-experiments (internally and externally restricted). Furthermore, the result of the program is compared with those of ADINA-T and ADINA. As a result of the comparison, the proposed method produces comparable results with those from the popular programs (ADIIVA-T and ADINA) and shows the usefulness of the developed program for the evaluation of thermal stresses of mass concrete in both internally and externally restricted structures.

The construction of free-form structures with intricate curved exteriors necessitates the use of bespoke molds. To fulfill this requirement, a blend of Phase Change Material(PCM) and Ultra-High Performance Concrete(UHPC) is utilized. PCM endows the solution with recyclability, while UHPC facilitates the effortless execution of curvature in the mold fabrication process. However, it's worth mentioning that the melting point of PCM hovers around 58-64℃, and the heat emanating from UHPC's hydration process can potentially jeopardize the integrity of the PCM mold. Hence, experimental validation of the mold shape is a prerequisite. In the conducted experiment, UHPC was poured into two distinct mold types: one that incorporated a 3mm silicone sheet mounted on the fabricated PCM mold(Panel A), and the other devoid of the silicone sheet(Panel B). The experimental outcomes revealed that Panel A possessed a thickness of 3.793mm, while Panel B exhibited a thickness of 5.72mm. This suggests that the mold lacking the silicone sheet(Panel B) was more susceptible to the thermal effects of hydration. These investigations furnish invaluable fundamental data for the manufacturing of ultra-high strength irregular panels and PCM molds. They contribute substantially to the enrichment of comprehension and application of these materials within the realm of construction.

According to the recent rapidly increasing that construction works are gradually Manhattanized mainly the grand scaled residential buildings, the foundation of the building that is related to safety is increasing for building as a grand scaled mat concrete. Because mat concrete can not be simultaneously placing of concrete in a great quantity due to the circumstance at the field, the inequal deformation of the tensile stress that according to the time lag of hydration heat between the upper layer and the lower layer is affecting as a cause that is the possibility of crack occurrence by increasing. Accordingly, this research checked the efficiency of super retard concrete in applying real structures, and we implemented the preparatory experiment to settle up the inequal deformation of the tensile stress substantially that is according to the time lag of placement between the upper layer and the lower layer by controlling the setting time using the super retarding agent. As the result of test, the more target of delay time lengthened, the more fluidity increased and air content indicated a little differences. There was from 2 to 10 hours between the standard curing and the outside curing at the setting time and in case of calculating the rate of mixing at real structure is required that mix promotion, increasing the amount of mixing, by setting up the curing temperature. The super retard concrete showed the result that in compressive strength, early-age strength was smaller than normal concrete whereas it was same or more figures from at the aging 28days because of the super retarding agent.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to help economic and safe construction by accurately predicting the initial strength of high-strength concrete (70MPa) for each type of cement, securing reliability of concrete quality, and drawing accurately the timing of form deformed, tensioning time of PS concrete, and openning of traffic after road repair with maturity. Method: Calculate the maturity by measuring the hydration heat with cement type for each age, and measure the strength of concrete with age to predict the strength corresponding to the any maturity. Result: In estimating the time required for traffic opening in road repair, ASTM C1074 was theoretically estimated at 16.4 hours for high-strength concrete, but in this study, maturity was calculated at 307, 14.4 hours for OPC and maturity at 2700, 34 hours for LHPC and maturity 200, 8 hours for ESPC. Conclusion: The timing of form deformed of structures using high-strength concrete and the opening of traffic of road repair may be much faster than in the case of concrete using OPC below the design basis strength 40MPa applied by ACI Committee 347.

In this study, experiments of development and application of 50 MPa high-performance concrete are performed for large dimensional tunnel linings. In order to produce 50MPa high-performance concrete, eight optimal mixtures replacing with fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag up to 50 percent of type I Portland cement were selected then tests for mechanical properties and simple adiabatic temperature rise tests were carried out. And in order to assess the quantitative characteristics of heat of hydrations of developed mixtures, three mixtures that the type I Portland cement (OPC) and each one mixture of binary and ternary mixtures (BS30, F15S35) were reselected, then the adiabatic temperature rise tests and mock-up tests were performed. Consequently, the comparisons between the results of mock-up tests and finite element analysis can be enhanced the reliability of analyzing routines of thermal behaviours of the developed high-performance concrete.
