The temperature change caused by hydration leads to early-age cracking in concrete box
girder. The early-age cracking risk is further improved with low air temperature and large …

Mass concrete is prone to cracks due to the temperature difference between the inside and
outside. In this study, the effects of four factors, including the ambient temperature, initial …

Large-volume concrete box girders are vulnerable to early cracking because of the
hydration reaction at early ages. The excessive temperature difference between the core …

Engineering infrastructure includes a large number of concrete structures. The main binder
used in concrete is Portland cement, which reacts with water when mixing. During the …

This paper introduces a 1-D finite difference model for analyzing the temperature distribution
throughout the hardening phase in concrete structures. The model accounts for the degree …

Alleviating cracks induced by the temperature rise in mass concrete has always been a
research hotspot and engineering problem. In this study, a type of energy storage phase …

Massive high-strength concrete generates significant hydration heat during casting, which
indirectly influences the risk of structural cracking by affecting the internal temperature …

The measurements and simulations using finite element software are carried out on the cast
temperature field as well as the related thermal stress field in zero blocks of segmental high …

The potential degradation of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) concrete due to the
conversion of thermodynamically metastable compounds into stable phases is a well-known …

For large arch bridges, the sealing hinge layer at the arch footing is critical to the long-term
performance and durability of the structure. This study investigated the temperature …
