Abstract
This study has investigated the characteristics of massive concrete which has been suffered temperature history by heat of hydration. The study through the mortar specimen and concrete specimen which have cured under artificial heat treatment simulated to the heat of hydration, reveal that influence of temperature history on mechanical characteristics and durability of mortar and concrete. The block specimen, which simulated to actual massive structures, was investigated and the test results shows that the compressive strength as well as the penetration depth of chloride ions and carbonation depth was degraded by initial temperature history during at least 6.5 years after casting.
