This regulating reservoir was constructed in Sendai city, and the capacity is 44650m
3. The scale of this reservoir is approximately 116.6m wide, 105.6m long and 5.8m high. As this structure was wall type mass concrete, the occurrences of thermal cracks induced the heat of hydration was predicted. This crack occurrences have bad influence on watertightness and durability, we planned thermal crack control measures and practiced them. After that, we amended control measures that considered differences of construction condition, i.e.. As a consequence, we could control thermal crack occurrences in the range of good qualities. This report is concerned with the plans of thermal crack control and the results of construction.
