ASSESSMENT OF STRENGTH IN STRUCTURE OF HIGH-STRENGTH MODERATE-HEAT CEMENT CONCRETE BY IMITATED ADIABATIC CURING SPECIMEN

Abstract

Assessment of strength in structure of high-strength, moderate-heat cement concrete was studied using an imitated adiabatic curing specimen. Strengths of the high-strength moderate-heat cement concrete placed in a full-scale model column specimen and that of the imitated adiabatic curing specimen subjected to the same temperature history as that of the full-scale model column specimen were compared. It may be possible that the testing of compressive strength of the imitated adiabtic curing specimen can determine the strength correction value S without testing the strength of concrete in structure.
