STUDIES ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MASS CONCRETE DURING ADIABATIC TEMPERATURE RISE

Abstract

The temperature rise due to cement hydration differs from locations of the mass concrete structure. The development of mechanical properties is dependent on the temperature rise condition. In this study, properties of concrete subjected to the adiabatic temperature rise condition were investigated experimentally. The supper low heat cement is also used as well as normal cements. The evaluating procedure for the time dependent development of mechanical properties is also presented as the test results.
