Implementing an effective thermal control plan in mass concrete projects
Image: Ash/stock.adobe.com Mass concrete elements, characterised by their large volume and considerable thickness, present unique challenges, particularly in managing peak temperature and temperature differentials throughout the curing process. Uncontrolled heat generation during hydration can lead to delayed ettringite formation (DEF), thermal cracking, reduced durability and compromised structural integrity. In order to mitigate these risks, the …
