Recently, a structure has been large and high under the improvement of construction technique. So, mass concrete constructions that a mat foundation thickness of structure is over 80cm have been many. Also, in the reason of high strength of concrete, a matter of thermal crack became an important task to be solved. In this study, we executed temperature and stress analysis of mat foundation. And we evaluated quantitatively about the possibility of thermal crack by using hydration heat analysis program. Because of this analysis technique, we could control skilfully the quality of mat foundation in a construction.

The mat foundation of Tower Palace III is designed as a massive structure which has a 3.5m depth. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimum mix design having good workability and to control the actual concrete quality in site. For this purpose, we select the Self Compacting Concrete. Recently, the Self Compacting Concrete has been applied to achieve workability improvement. As the result of actual application, we have finished placing the mass concrete of 8, 000m$^3$ during 14hours with good success and obtain the good quality concrete. All test results are satisfied with our specifications for mat foundation and cut cost as the reduction of placing hours.

This research investigated the effect of solar radiation on the temperature distribution in concrete mat foundation. Zhang and Huang Model was utilized to estimate solar radiation heat at a given date and time. A one-dimensional finite element formula was derived with the fundamental laws of heat transfer and Galerkin method. Based on the formula, a one dimensional finite element analysis code was developed using MATLAB. Hydration heat analysis of mat foundation were conducted using the developed code. It was found that the solar radiation reduced the maximum temperature difference in mat foundation, and this temperature difference reduction was more prominent in case of summer season cast, a higher initial concrete temperature, and a thicker mat foundation depth. The research recommended that the solar radiation should be considered in hydration heat analysis of concrete mat foundation so as not to overestimate the maximum temperature difference in mat foundation.

The thermal crack in mass concrete is mainly due to the difference of concrete temperature, which is generated by hydration heat of cement. As the thickness of mat foundation increases, the difference of temperature becomes bigger. The purpose of this study is to estimate the optimum placing depth. The temperature of real mat foundation was observed and the thermal analysis by Finite Element Method was executed. Finally, the crack index according to the placing depth was estimated.

Constructing large-scale mat foundation mass concrete is increasing for the stability of building structure, because a lot of high rise building are being built in order to make full use of limited space. However, It is of increasing concerns that because limited placing equipments, available job-site and systems for mass concete placement in construction field do not allow to place great quantity of concrete at the same time in large scale mat foundation, consistency between placement lift can not be secured. And also, it is likely to crack due to stress caused by the difference of hydration heat generation time. To find out the solution against above problems, this study is to reconfirm the performance of normal concrete designed by mix proportion and super retarding concrete. The Fundamental test shows what happens if low heat proportioning and control method of setting time are applied at the job-site of newly constructed high rise building. The test result show that slump flow of concrete has been somewhat increased as the target retarding time gets longer, while the air content has been slightly decreased but this is no great difference from normal concrete. The setting time shows to be retarded as target retarding time gets longer, the range of retarding time increases. It is necessary to increase the amount of mix of super retarding agent in the proportion ration by setting curing temperature high since outdoor curing is about 6 hours faster than standard curing, which means the temperature of the concrete will be higher than the temperature of the surrounding environment, due to its high hydration heat when applying in a construction site. The compressive strength of super retarding concrete appears to be lower than normal concrete due to the retarding action in the early stage. However, as the time goes by, the compressive strength gets higher, and by the 28th day the strength becomes the same or higher than normal concrete.

In this study, as part of the foundation for advancing the material compounding aspect to reduce hydration heat cracks in the mat foundation on which the mass concrete is constructed, the degree of concrete varieties of cement is used. The setting time was measured and comparative analysis was performed. Results It was confirmed that the concrete using LHC was more effective than the concrete using OPC in reducing the use of SP, the calorific value of the concrete was low, and it was more effective in preventing cracks. It is also terminated after 10 hours and it is determined that the use of LHC can reduce the cracks caused by the heat of hydration of the mat foundation.
