To shorten the construction times of nuclear facility structures, three high-strength concrete mixtures were developed with specific consideration given to their curing temperatures, their economic efficiency, and the practicality of their quality control. This study was conducted to examine the temperature rise profiles of these three concrete mixtures and the potential for early-age thermal cracking in the primary containment vessel of a nuclear reactor with a wall thickness of 1200 mm. The one-layer placement height of the concrete for the primary containment vessel was increased from the conventional 3 m to 3.5 m. A nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) was conducted using the thermal properties of concrete determined from the isothermal hydration and adiabatic hydration tests, and tuned through comparisons made with temperature rise profiles obtained for 1200-mm-thick mock-up wall specimens cured at temperatures of 5, 20, and 35℃. The hydration heat performance of the three concrete mixtures and their potential to produce thermal cracking in nuclear facilities indicate that the mixtures have considerable potential for practical application to the primary containment vessel of a nuclear reactor at various curing temperatures, fulfilling the minimum requirements of the ACI 301 and minimizing the likelihood of the occurrence of thermal cracks.

The high-strength concrete(HSC) compared to normal concrete represents higher autogenous shrinkage due to lower water-to-binder ratio(W/B) and supplementaries, fly ash(FA) and granulated blast-furnace slag(BFS), etc. The potential of early age cracking which reduces durability of concrete structures is normally influenced by autogenous shrinkage and degree of restraint. Therefore, this paper studies on the evaluation of the characteristics of autogenous shrinkage for HSC, ultra-high-strength concrete(UHSC) containing admixtures by experimental test and the test results are compared with existed prediction models.

The shrinkage of high strength/high performance concrete is very important property for the good working of a structure since it very often generates early age cracking due to thermal and autogenous shrinkage. Autogenous shrinkage occurs as a result of internal moisture depletion due to hydration and temperature-induced effects. The level of autogenous shrinkage occurring due to hydration also depends on temperature history at very early age. It is necessary that effect of temperature on autogenous shrinkage is investigated since the stress generated due to autogenous shrinkage is quantified. In this study, Effect of hydration heat evolution on autogenous shrinkage of high strength concretes with W/C=25-40% was investigated.

고성능 콘크리트는 단위 시멘트량이 많기 때문에 초기재령에 있어서 시멘트의 급속한 수화반응으로 인해 시멘트 경화체는 자기수축이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 자기수축 변형이 발생한 부재가 외부 또는 내부 구속 상태에 있을 경우에는 수축균열이 발생하게 되며, 이러한 초기재령에 발생한 수축균열은 콘크리트 구조물의 미관 및 내구성 저하를 초래하기 때문에 이를 억제하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 한편, 이러한 고성능 콘크리트의 자기수축을 저감시키는 방법으로서 팽창재의 혼입에 의한 수축보상이 있는데 자기수축 저감에 유효한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 지금까지의 팽창재에 의한 고성능 콘크리트의 자기수축에 관한 연구는 실험에 근거한 연구로서 정량적인 연구가 아닌 정성적인 연구가 대부분 이었다. 이러한 팽창재에 의한 고성능 콘크리트의 자기수축 저감량을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해서는 팽창재의 수화반응 모델부터 시작하여 팽창재에 의한 시멘트 경화체의 팽창 모델을 구축할 필요가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 초기 재령의 자기수축 저감을 목적으로 초기재령에서 빠른 팽창력을 발휘하도록 재료 설계된 에트링가이트-석회 복합계를 대상으로하여, 팽창재의 입도분포 및 수화의 진행에 따른 인접겔과의 접촉을 고려한 팽창재의 수화반응모델을 제안하였다. 또한, 제안된 팽창재의 수화반응모델을 실험적으로 모델의 타당성에 대해서 검토한 결과, 본 연구에서 제안한 팽창재의 수화반응 모델은 실험치를 양호하게 평가할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In hardening massive concrete, the heat of hydation gives rise to considerable thermal gradientsand thermal stresses, which might cause early age cracking. This paper deals with the results of evaluation of hydration heat of low hear concrete, using Belite rich cement (low heat cement) and compared with OPC, slag added cement and fly ash addedcement. Result of evaluation of hydration are presented in this paper. The concrete made with Belite rich cement gets low temperature of center point and low thermal gradients between surface and center points.

In this study, the effect of external restraint on the thermal stresses and thermal cracking mode in mass concrete are analysed using the two major factors affecting external restraint such as the ratio of width go height of the placed structure (L/H) and the elastic modulus of base structure (E). For this parametric study, many cases with different values of L/H and Er are analysed by the FEM program and the co-relationship of the those major factors is examined. To evaluate the effect of external restraint on the thermal behavior of placing structure, internal restraint stress caused by temperature difference is subtracted from total thermal stress. In the case of small value of L/H or Er, it shows as internally restricted mode indicating maximum tensile stress in surface at early age, and the external restraint makes the possibility of thermal cracking higher. However, in the case of the large values of L/H and Er, the crack index at center is smaller than at surface due to the effect of external restraint. Thus, the initial location of the thermal crack is shifted from the surface to the center and the resulting crack is formed at later age.

Concrete is known as a heterogeneous product which is composed of complex chemical composition and reaction. The development of concrete thermal effect during early age is critical on its future structural health and long term durability. When cement is mixed with water, the exothermic chemical reaction generates hydration heat, which raises the temperature within the concrete. Consequently, cracking may occur if the concrete temperature rises too high or if there is a large temperature difference between the interior and the exterior of concrete structures during early age hydration. This paper describes the contribution of novel Fabry-Perot (FP) fiber optic temperature sensors to investigate the thermal effects of concrete hydration process. Concrete specimens were manufactured under various water-to-cement (w/c) ratios from 0.40 to 0.60. During the first 24 hours of concreting, two FP fiber optic temperature sensors were inserted into concrete specimens with the protection of copper tubing to monitor the surface and core temperature change. The experimental results revealed effects of w/c ratios on surface and core temperature developments during early age hydration, as well as demonstrating that FP fiber optic sensors are capable of capturing temperature variation in the concrete with reliable performance. Temperature profiles are used for calculating the apparent activation energy ($E_a$) and the heat of hydration (H(t)) of concrete, which can help us to better understand cement hydration.

고강도 콘크리트는 낮은 물-시멘트 비와 혼화제의 첨가로 인해 타설 후 극 초기재령에서 큰 자기수축과 온도변형이 발생한다. 이것은 고강도 콘크리트 구조물의 초기재령에서의 균열을 초래할것이고, 고강도 콘크리트의 내구성에 영향을 미칠 것 이다. 그러므로 고강도 콘크리트의 초기재령 특성에 집중할 필요가 있다. 이 논문에서는 매설형 FBG 센서를 이용하여 고강도 콘크리트의 초기재령 특성을 모니터링 하였다. 결과에서는 고강도 콘크리트 타설 후 하루동안 변형이 급격히 증가함을 보여 주었다. 그리고 변형량의 값은 $85{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ 이상이며, 두달간의 변형량($280{\mu}{\varepsilon}$)의 30%에 해당한다. 고강도콘크리트의 내구성과 침투성을 고려하면, 첫째날의 변형률은 꽤 높아 무시할 수 없는 수치이다. 또한 연속성, 안정성, 다양한 복합기술 등 FBG 센서의 보다 높은 성능이 증명 되었다.

고성능 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체(HPFRCC)는 물-결합재비(W/B)가 상당히 낮기 때문에 재령초기에서 자기수축이 크게 나타나는 특성을 지니고 있다. 이러한 자기수축의 영향으로 거푸집 및 보강철근 등에 의해 HPFRCC가 구속될 경우 상당히 큰 잔류응력 발생과 수축균열 위험성이 나타나게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 초기재령에서의 수축거동에 따른 균열거동에 대한 평가와 수축을 억제하거나 감소시키기 위한 재료적 검토 등을 포함한 HPFRCC의 수축특성에 대한 폭넓은 연구가 반드시 수행되어야 한다. 따라서, 이 논문에서는 팽창재와 수축저감제의 조합사용 여부에 따른 HPFRCC의 역학적 특성 평가와 초기 재령에서의 열팽창계수 측정 및 이를 고려한 자기수축 실험을 수행하여 팽창재와 수축저감제가 HPFRCC의 자기수축 거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

The aim of the research is analyzing the simple adiabatic temperature rising properties and the heat of hydration based on different placing timing of the mass concrete depending on various replacing ratios of blast furnace slag to comparative analyze the thermal cracking index and cracking possibility. As a result from the experiment, a suggested adiabatic temperature rising equation based on various blast furnace slag replacing ratios can be provide favorable correlation with over 0.99 of $R^2$ value by applying the initial induction period. With this relationship, more accurate prediction of the amount of the hydration heat rising and heating timing, and it is known that there is an approximately $13.1^{\circ}C$ of gap between plain concrete without blast furnace slag and concrete with 80 % of replacing blast furnace slag. To control the setting time and heat rising gap, the mix designs between top and bottom concrete casts were changed 15 cases, and D, E, H, I, and L models of controlling the heat of hydration showed 41.23 to $46.88^{\circ}C$ of core temperature and 0.98 to 1.27 of thermal cracking index. Therefore the cracking possibility was 15 to 52 % of favorable results of possibly controlling both the cracking due to the internal and external retainment and concrete temperature at early age.
