Thermal Stress Analysis and Crack Control on the Heat of Hydration of Mass Concrete

매스콘크리트의 수화열에 관한 해석 및 온도균열 제어방안 연구

Thermal cracks are occurred when thermal stress due to the hydration of cement exceeds the tensile strength of concrete. In this study, the thermal stresses are investigated at the massive concrete like an anchorage of suspension bridge. The thermal crack can be controlled by considering the placing height, concrete type, pre-cooling and pipe cooling in the design stage.
