Abstract:

Owing to the temperature field generated by early-hydration heat, mass concrete causes temperature stress cracking, affecting structural safety and normal use. The accuracy of the thermal parameters of concrete affects the accuracy of the concrete temperature-field calculations. Based on the hydration reaction of cementitious materials in concrete, theory of chemical reaction kinetics, and experimental data for cement hydration heat from different fly ash additives, a formulation of the hydration heat model for concrete was developed, considering the effects of fly ash and temperature. The model could accurately predict the heat release and temperature rise of the concrete hydration reaction with age, and the prediction results were in good agreement with the experimental data.

Key words: mass concrete, temperature field, hydration heat, fly ash
