Determination of Adiabatic Temperature in Hardening Concrete According to Different Standards

Abstract

The problem of thermal cracking in mass concrete structures still remains unsolved. There are many factors that influence the thermal regime in these concrete structures, the main ones being the type and content of cement in the concrete mixture, the thickness of the concrete layer, and the ambient temperature. However, the most important factor is the cause of the heat generated. Currently, there are a large number of standards and empirical formulas for determining the origin of a heat source using adiabatic equations. This paper provides a comparison of formulas for determining the adiabatic temperature in hardening concrete as the basis for determining the thermal regime in large-sized concrete structures.
