“…On the other hand, Wu et al [7] created a heat transfer model for concrete using ANSYS with surface convection that could realistically model the surface heat loss to the surrounding environment. Lawrence et al [8] were able to evaluate bridge footings with wooden formwork using TNO Diana software; they considered changes in material properties and thermal loading function based on the degree of hydration of concrete while using a thermal convection model to account for surface heat loss.…”

This paper describes a procedure for thermal analysis on early-age concrete structures with experimentally obtained concrete adiabatic temperature rise and interface conductance between steel formwork and concrete. During hydration, concrete is considered in the analysis as non-homogeneous and the degree of hydration is dependent on both thermal loading and thermal properties development. A thermal convection model was implemented to simulate the external heat loss. Experimentally, two 1.2-m concrete cubes were constructed with embedded temperature sensors. The measured temperature time histories correlate well with the calculated values using a finite element model developed for this study. The modeling method and the experimental procedures developed are able to accurately predict the temperature evolution within an early-age concrete structure.

“…Based on a review of the literature, different sizes of concrete specimens were cast and cured semi-adiabatically to simulate the mass concrete curing conditions, for example, 0·027 m 3 (Kim et al, 2011), 0·1 m 3 (Azenha et al, 2009) to 1 m 3 (Lawrence et al, 2012). In order to investigate the effect of concrete specimen size on the heat development in concrete, a larger concrete slab specimen, 660 Â 460 Â 300 mm, was cast and tested inside an environmental chamber (Figure 7).…”

“…Da Silva et al (2015) successfully predicted the peak hydration temperature in a 1050 m 3 concrete foundation based on temperature data obtained in a 1 m 3 concrete cube specimen under a semi-adiabatic curing condition. The volumes of the specimens used for semiadiabatic calorimetry tests vary significantly from project to project, for example, 0·027 m 3 (Kim et al, 2011), 0·1 m 3 (Azenha et al, 2009) and 1 m 3 (Lawrence et al, 2012). The effects of specimen sizes on concrete heat development, however, have not been sufficiently investigated based on a review of the literature.…”

2 3China accounts for approximately half of global steel production and more than 80 Mt of blast-furnace slag is generated every year as a by-product. About 80% of blast-furnace slag is recycled in China and the majority of this is used as an additive in low-grade composite cement or 'blast-furnace cement'. This paper discusses the technical feasibility of using ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) in structural concrete for high-value applications in China. The effects of the slag on concrete compressive strengths are investigated experimentally at different curing temperatures. The influence of partial replacement of CEM I with GGBS on the heat development of concrete is investigated through isothermal calorimetry tests. The presence of slag contributes to a reduced heat output rate. The results obtained from the isothermal calorimetry tests are also used to simulate the heat liberation process in suspended concrete slabs using finite-element software. Finite-element modelling results, validated by semi-adiabatic calorimetry tests, indicate that partial replacement of CEM I cement with GGBS contributes to a reduced peak hydration temperature and this has a beneficial effect in hot-weather concreting.
