Abstract: | This paper provides a “State of the Art” review on current research into the models that are used
to predict temperature development in mass concrete structures. The principal parameters that
considerably affect the performance of mass concrete structures are the maximum concrete
temperature, maximum concrete temperature difference, time, and duration of the maximum
temperature difference. Though a lot of estimation methods have attempted to either predict
the maximum in place temperature or the temperature distribution, in order to control the
occurrence of early age thermal cracks, there remains a need for a broader understanding of
the response of concrete structures to different intrinsic and extrinsic conditions such structures
could be subjected. The use of high fidelity models such as the finite element method to
predict the temperature distribution with time, have been the current state of practice in mass
concrete structures such as dams. The application of such methods requires relatively more
computational effort, and therefore other estimation methods have been recommended for fairly
practical use. In general a trade of must be made between the efficiency and accuracy of the
method used versus the practicality of the chosen method. |
