Mass Concrete and Thermal Cracking, a Joint ACI-JCI Seminar
Also Known As:
ACI SP-325:2018 is a standard that addresses the concerns and considerations related to mass concrete and thermal cracking in construction projects such as dams, bridges, buildings, and power plants. The publication aims to provide guidance to owners, designers, contractors, and concrete suppliers in understanding and addressing issues with mass and thermally controlled concrete.
The standard is the result of a joint effort between the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Committee 207 and the Japan Concrete Institute (JCI). It includes eight papers that were presented at a technical session held during the ACI Fall Convention in 2011. The papers cover various topics such as defining mass and thermally controlled concrete, design and planning considerations, modeling and prediction of in-place concrete temperature development, and physical testing of mass concrete.
The table of contents provides an overview of the topics covered in the publication, including the authors of each paper and their respective subject. Some of the topics include planning and execution of a mass concrete placement utilizing insulation regimen, shear testing of concrete blocks, temperature predictions for mass concrete placements, design considerations for raising a dam, estimating maximum temperature difference in mass concrete, equivalent age and physical properties of mass concrete, proposed definition of mass concrete, and planning and execution of a large mass concrete placement with different insulation levels.
