Granulated slag from metal industries and fly ash from the combustion of coal are industrial by-products that have been widely used as mineral admixtures in normal and high strength concrete. Due to the reaction between calcium hydroxide and fly ash or slag, the hydration of concrete containing fly ash or slag is much more complex compared with that of Portland cement. In this paper, the production of calcium hydroxide in cement hydration and its consumption in the reaction of mineral admixtures is considered in order to develop a numerical model that simulates the hydration of concrete containing fly ash or slag. The heat evolution rates of fly ash- or slag-blended concrete is determined by the contribution of both cement hydration and the reaction of the mineral admixtures. Furthermore, the temperature distribution and temperature history in hardening blended concrete are evaluated based on the degree of hydration of the cement and the mineral admixtures. The proposed model is verified through experimental data on concrete with different water-to-cement ratios and mineral admixture substitution ratios.

In this study, Neutralized red mud(LRM+S) at a pH of 6-8 was prepared by adding sulfuric acid to liquefied red mud(LRM) at a pH of 10~12. After adding LRM and LRM+S to the cement paste, the hydration heat, compressive strength, and hydration products were examined. The observed accumulated hydration heat revealed that the calorific value of the cement paste with LRM was low and its and peak was delayed when compared with that of plain cement paste(referred to as Plain), whereas the calorific value of the cement paste with LRM+S was similar to that of Plain. At the age of 28 days, the compressive strength of the cement paste with 20% LRM was 55% of the strength of Plain. Using X-ray diffraction, it was determined that the cement paste with 20% LRM exhibited a Ca(OH)₂ peak after 3 days, whereas the cement paste with 20% LRM+S and Plain exhibited a Ca(OH)₂ peak after an hour. Thus, the strength degradation of cementitious materials was improved by adding neutralized red mud prepared by adjusting the pH of highly alkaline LRM with sulfuric acid.

According to the recent tendency that the buildings in the downtown are gradually Manhattanized, the very thick massive concrete is selected as the foundation of architectures. By the way, because this mass concrete cannot be simultaneously pour in a great quantity due to the circumstance at the field, not only the questions on the unification between the concretes pour on the upper layer and the lower layer are presented but also the cracks by the internal force from the difference of hydration exothermic period are occurred, which are pointed out as the problems. Thus, this study performed Mock-up test to apply the hydration heat controlling method of massive concrete for horizontal partition pouring construction to the building sites for the purpose of securing the stability on the cracks by the internal force from the difference of hydration exothermic period on the upper layer and the lower layer of massive concrete and checked the efficiency. As the results of test, in case of setting time difference method by super retarder with 2 layers and 4 layers, the effect that temperature gaps between upper part and lower part were lowered and the possibility of crack occurrence was decreased as the peak time of the heat of hydration became delayed to the latter term could be confirmed.

The crack of concrete induced by the heat of hydration is a serious problem, particularly in concrete structures such as mat-slab of nuclear reactor buildings, dams or large footings, foundations of high rise buildings, etc.. As a result of the temperature rise and restriction condition of foundation, the thermal stress which may induce the cracks can occur. Therefore the various techniques of the thermal stress control in massive concrete have been widely used. One of them is prediction of the thermal stress, besides low-heat cement which mitigates the temperature rise, pre-cooling which lowers the initial temperature of fresh concrete with ice flake, pipe cooling which cools the temperature of concrete with flowing water, design change which considers steel bar reinforcement, operation control and so on. The Aim of this paper is to verify the effect of low heat blended cement in reducing thermal stress in slab type's mass concrete such as container harbor structures.

Parameter analysis of mass concrete structures of two types subjected to heat of hydration and surface heat transfer is presented. Thermal stress analysis is conducted through the 3D FEM program. Thermal and mechanical properties of concrete, for example, conductivity, heat capacity, density, thermal expansion coefficient are varied from 80% to 120% of a reference value, and the change of thermal stress against the parameter is achieved respectively. As a result of the analysis, the parameter affecting thermal stress most significantly is an adiabatic temperature rise in the case of wall-type structure, and an initial temperature of concrete in the case of slab-type structure, respectively.

The crack of concrete induced by the heat of hydration is a serious problem, particularly in massive concrete structures. In order to control the temperature crack of massive concrete, the selection of appropriate materials like low heat cement, mixture materials, etc. is essential. In tills study, mix proportion using low heat portland cement and lime stone powder was designed and the best mix proportion, B-1, was selected. When bottom slab of the #219 LNG tank in Incheon was constructed, concrete temperature was measured. And thermal stress was analyzed about bottom slab of the LNG tank. As results of the thermal analysis, crack index was 1.60 in bottom slab and satisfied with construction specifications(over 1.0).

The setting and hardening of concrete is accompanied by nonlinear temperature distribution caused by developing heat of cement hydration. expecially at early ages, nonlinear temperature distribution has a large influence n the crack evaluation. So the need to predict the exact temperature history in concrete has led to the examination thermal properties. In this study, the convection heat transfer coefficient is experimentally investigated which is one of the thermal properties in concrete. Furthermore, the result of the experiment is compared with those of analysis by the program which is developed in KAIST. As a result of comparison, the analytical results are in good approximation with experimental data.

Cold weather can lead to many problems in mixing, placing, setting time, and curing of concrete that can have harmful effects on its properties and service life. Korean Concrete Institute (KCI) defines cold weather as a period when the average daily air temperature is less $4^{\circ}C$ and recommends to cast concrete with special care such as shielding, heating and so on. The use of high early strength cements may improve the rate of hardening characteristics of concrete in cold weather by making it possible to achieve faster setting time and evolving more hydration heat than ordinary Portland cement. Higher early strength can be achieved using Type III cement especially during the first 7 days. The strength increase property of Type III cement at low temperature was studied. As a conclusion the heat or heat insulation curing period can be reduced to 50~75%. So, it can be used for cold weather concreting to reduce construction cost and extend the construction season.
