In this study, a program for evaluation of heat transfer and thermal stress of mass concrete is developed and verified by 2-experiments (internally and externally restricted). Furthermore, the result of the program is compared with those of ADINA-T and ADINA. As a result of the comparison, the proposed method produces comparable results with those from the popular programs (ADIIVA-T and ADINA) and shows the usefulness of the developed program for the evaluation of thermal stresses of mass concrete in both internally and externally restricted structures.

Lately, massive concrete structures are increasingly built. Mass concrete structures are cast in many stages with construction joints. Individually constructed segment exhibit different heat source properpies and time dependent properties. As such construction stages must be incorporated in a heat of hydration analysis model to truly reflect a real construction process. Thermal stress analysis is conducted to find the way of controlling the thermal crack of pier footing mat in this paper. The footing mat model fur the analysis is $12m\times14m$ area and 3m height. This study show the process of construction stage and analyzes the results for a foundation structure constructed in 2 stage pours.

매스콘크리트 구조물에서의 시멘트 수화열은 구조물의 균열을 발생시킬 만큼 큰 내부온도를 발생시킨다. 따라서 매스콘크리트 구조물에서의 설계와 시공단계에서 내부온도응력을 예측할 수 있다면 이와같은 균열로 인한 구조물의 피해를 예방할 수 있을 것이다. 그리고 수화열에 의한 온도증가는 타설초기에 발생하므로 크리이프에 의한 영향도 매우크다. 따라서 온도응력해석시 크리이프와 건조수축의 영향을 고려하는 것이 구조물의 안전성과 사용성을 정확히 파악하는데 필요하다. 본 연구는 먼저 매스콘크리트의 온도이력을 유한요소법에 의해 해석하고, 작용하중이나 온도이력을 크리이프와 건조수축영향을 고려하여 콘크리트 구조물의 응력과 변형을 유한요소법에 의해 계산하였다. 본 연구에서 온도이력 계산과 콘크리트구조물의 응력과 변형의 계산을 위해 작성한 프로그램 결과를 실제 구조물의 실험결과와 비교하였을 때 양호한 결과를 얻었다.

본 논문에서는 해상 기초 교각 매스 콘크리트의 수화열 저감 방안을 다루었다. 저발열 콘크리트, Mesh형 거푸집 공법 등에 대한 실험을 수행하여 각각의 수화열 저감효과를 평가하였다. 현장 실험은 사용 시멘트와 거푸집의 종류, 거푸집의 사용 면수에 따라 총 4 type으로 구성하였으며, 이에 대한 실험 결과와 유한 요소 해석 결과를 비교, 검증하여 최종적인 수화열 저감 성능을 도출하고자 하였다. 실험을 통해, 저발열 시멘트와 유로폼을 사용하는 것이 수화열 저감을 위해 효과적인 방법으로 판명되었으나 추가 공사비의 발생으로 효율성이 떨어질 것으로 판단된다. 또한 Mesh형 거푸집 적용 면 수와 온도 상승 저감 효과는 비례하는 것을 알 수 있었지만 내 외부 온도차가 다소 크게 나타나 수화열에 의한 균열 발생 확률면에서는 다소 불리하게 나타났다. 그러나 실험 단계에서 생략된 양생과 관리를 통하여 균열의 저감효과를 거둘 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 추가적으로 거푸집 해체 단계를 생략함으로 공기단축 측면에서 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

In this research, considering the practical situation of separated placing method for mass concrete structure, an efficient method of controlling the heat of hydration is suggested by comparing between the simulated values and actual measurements conducted with the optimum mix design obtained from the various mix conditions with different types and amount of supplementary cementitious materials(SCMs). As the result of the research, firstly, the optimum mix designs for top and bottom layers were determined by Midas gen as OPC to FA of 85 to 15, and OPC to FA to BS of 50 to 20 to 30, respectively. The concrete mixtures prepared with the mix designs determined from the simulation satisfied the target performance range in slump, air content and compressive strength. Additionally, from temperature measurement for the actual mass concrete placed during spring, the maximum temperature difference between surface and core was about $10^{\circ}C$ with 59 and $49^{\circ}C$ for top and bottom layers, respectively, and 1.4 of cracking index was obtained. Therefore, considering the practical conditions of mass concrete construction, it is considered that the different heat of hydration method using different mix designs with SCMs can be an efficient method for controlling thermal cracking and settling cracking of mass concrete.

This paper describes the methods to propose the optimal material properties and construction steps that prevent cracks due to the thermal stresses induced by the hydration heat under the construction of the concrete underpass structures. To achieve the goal of this study, the heat transfer theories were employed and the three-dimensional finite element model of the underpass structure was developed and used for the structural analyses. If the volume of the concrete member that is placed at one time is significantly large, the member is assumed to be the mass concrete and is easy to induce cracks. In order to minimize the cracks during the construction, two different methods can be utilized: one is to arrange the construction steps optimally and the other is to change the materials to reduce the probability of the crack occurrence. In this study, the analyses were performed by considering the changes in material properties with time, the characteristics of the hydration heat generation for cements and admixtures, the volume of the concrete placement at one time, and the environmental conditions.

A total of 6 stepwise constructions were made for building the floating mass concrete foundation. The optimal curing strategies and specialized construction guidelines were adoptively extracted from the 1.5m cube mock-up test prior to the main concrete work. Two different thermal crack index(TCI) calculations from current construction manual exhibit relatively low values as comparing the measured temperature data. This implies that the hydration-induced cracking could be developed in parts of concrete mass. However, the controversial phenomenons in reality were observed. No significant surface cracks are detected at the successive construction stages. Thereby, this paper raises the question regarding on the existence of characteristic length with varying size and shape of a target specimen which are missing in the current construction manual. The isothermal core area and high thermal gradient area in the edge volume should be identified and be introduced to TCI calculation for the purpose of an accuracy.

The heat generation of hydration of cement causes the internal temperature rise and volum& change at early age, particularly in massive concrete structures. As the results of the temperature rise and external restraint conditions, the thermal stress may induce cracks in concrete. Therefore, various techniques of the thermal stress control of the mass concrete have been wid'dy used. One of them is pipecooling which reduces the temperature of concrete with flowing water. The objective of this paper' is to develop a finite element program which is capable of simulating the temperature history considering pipe-cooling effect. The numerical results in this study are in good agreement with experimental data measured in the footing(l1 x22m). Therefore, this study may provide available method to predict the hydration temperature of concrete with pip:-cooling.
