The hydration of cement paste occurs when the cement is miked with water. During the hydration, hydration heat causes the thermal stress depending on the site of concrete and the cement content. Especially in the high-strength concrete, we must give care to the concrete due to its large cement content. In this study conduction calorimeter and concrete insulation hydration heat meter were used to investigation the hydration heat characteristics of cement and concrete. To reduce hydration heat of high-strength concrete, several types of replacement of fly-ash and blast-furnace slag powder were used in this experiment. As a result of this study, it was found that hydration heat of high-strength concrete was reduced by replacement of fly-ash and blast-furnace slag powder. In case of high-strength concrete using blast-furnace slag powder, the max-heat arrival time was delayed but an effect of heat reduction was lower than a case of high-strength concrete using fly-ash, because it was considered that the heat-dependence property of blast-furnace slag powder was higher than that of fly-ash.

It is necessary to develop a new technology for controling thermal cracking by hydration heat according to the increase construction of massive concrete structures, high strength concrete and early strength concrete. Therefore, it was investigated the characteristics of hydration heat generation of low heat concrete using hydration heat reducing admixtures in this study. To investigate the performance of hydration heat reducing admixtures, it was evaluated hydration heat according to the kind and replacement ratio of phase change material series I, II and the way of using hydration heat reducing admixtures in series III.

Recently, the attention is paid to the problem of thermal crack by hydration heat according to the increase of high strength and mass concrete structures. At this point, various research has been carried out for the control of hydration heat in high strength and mass concrete. As a part of the research, it was investigated application of hydration heat reduction agent (HR) for the control of thermal crack by hydration heat in this study. To investigate the application, it was selected HR which can reduce hydration heat of concrete with effect in series I and II. Also, it was investigated the characteristics of hydration heat generation of low heat concrete using HR with binder types in seriesIII.

The concretes cast in the sea water would be likely to be rich mix and mass concrete. Therefore it is important to check out the hydration heat of concrete and to reduce it to prevent the concrete from processing the temperature crack. Recently the antiwashout agent is used on underwater concrete for preventing from the segregation of concrete in the water. The experimental studies were done for the combined cement replaced by fly ash 30%unit weight of binder to study on the characteristics of hydration heat of antiwashout underwater concrete, and its characteristic was discussed by comparing on cast in sea water with anther one in air. The present paper showed that the hydration heat concrete replaced by 30%of fly ash was more significantly reduced than the normal concrete. The hydration heat of antiwashout underwater concrete was highter than that of normal concrete, but it was reduced lower than the normal concrete by adding fly ash.

This study is designed to reduction of hydration heat of 4 layer division-placed mass concrete considering the difference of setting time of super retarding agent. According to the results, peak temperature of plain concrete by hydration heat show $63^{\circ}C$ around the age of 1 days. Hydration heat is lowest in the bottom layer, and highest in the middle of 3rd layer from the bottom. Hydration heat of mock up structure, which is division-placed at the same interval of 1 and 2 days by setting time difference of super retarding agent, is highest in the bottom layer because after peak temperature of 4th layer, hydration reaction progresses in order of 3rd, 2nd and 1st layer. But in mock up structure which is division-placed at the various interval. peak temperature by hydration heat is reduced by about $13^{\circ}C$, compared with plain concrete because after first peak hydration heat of 4th layer (plain concrete), hydration reaction progresses after the drop of hydration heat in order of 3rd, 2nd and 1st layer.

Heat of hydration of concrete under different curing temperatures can be characterized with knowledge of the thermal activity, the heat rate at the reference temperature, and the total heat of hydration of the mixture. The so-called multi-component hydration model incorporates the effect of following variables: cement chemical composition, cement fineness, secondary cementitious powders, mixture proportions, and concrete properties. However, the model does not consider the use of silica fume as a secondary cementitious powder. Therefore, the model that quantifies the heat of hydration due to the use of silica fume is needed. In this thesis, the effects of silica fume on heat of hydration are evaluated and the influence on the heat of hydration are also quantified to be included in the model, so that the analysis using modified multi-component hydration model for silica fume concrete provides more accurate results than normal concrete.

Placing lift is applied to place mass concrete in order to reduce thermal cracks by hydration heat. But they results in cold joint between placing lifts, which bring about the loss of strength, water tightness and undesirable appearance. Therefore, in this paper, mechanical and hydration heat of mass concrete using super retarding agent developed through previous study are investigated in order to reduce the hydration heat and place it without place lift. According to test results, placing lifts combined with normal concrete and concrete containing super retarding agent have positive effects on reducing hydration heat. Especially, the crack index by thermal stress of the concrete containing super retarding agent less than a quarter, compared to that of plain concrete without placing lifts, and less than a half, compared to that of plain concrete with placing lifts.

When concrete was hardened, it should had considered a crack to make internal stress by hydration heat. For control of crack, admixture was use to change cement because hydration heat was effect to cement. High strength mass concrete had much hydration heat with high volume of cement. It was necessary to reduce hydration heat in construction method. In this study, it evaluates hydration heat, compressive strength of transfer concrete girder regard to field construction type such as separation, whole etc. Also, we test compressive strength of concrete with core and mold specimen.

In process of reinforced concrete (RC) box structure. the heat of hydration may cause serious thermal cracking. In order to eliminate hydration heat of mass concrete. this paper reports results of hydration heat control in mass concrete structure using the pulsating heat pipe. There were three RC box molds($1.2{\times}l.8{\times}2.4m^3$) which shows a difference as compared with each other. One was not equipped with pulsating heat pipe. The others were equipped with pulsating heat pipe. All of them were cooled with natural air convection. The pulsating heat pipe was composed of serpentine type copper pipe with 10 turns (outer diameter: 4mm. inner diameter: 2.8mm). The working fluid was R-22 and its charging ratio was 40% by volume. The conditions such as the number of turns. the length and the pitch of the pulsating heat pipe and the size of concrete structure were changed. Based on these experiments, it was confirmed that this construction method using pulsating heat pipe was effective to remove hydration heat of mass concrete structure and thus it was possible to prevent harmful thermal crack and construction Period and costs of concrete structure would be cut down.
