Report on Thermal and Volume Change Effects on Cracking of Mass Concrete
Also Known As:
The ACI 207.2R-07 standard provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of heat generation and volume change on the design and behavior of mass concrete elements and structures. The report highlights the significance of restraint on cracking and the influence of controlled placing temperatures, concrete strength requirements, and material properties on volume change.
The standard aims to guide engineers and practitioners in understanding the factors that contribute to cracking in mass concrete. It emphasizes the need to manage heat generation and volume change to minimize the occurrence of detrimental cracks. The report provides valuable insights into the design considerations and evaluation methods for mitigating cracking in mass concrete, ultimately promoting the durability and long-term performance of such structures.
By addressing the thermal and volume change effects on cracking, the ACI 207.2R-07 standard serves as a valuable resource for those involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of mass concrete elements and structures. It offers guidance on practical measures to control cracking and ensure the structural integrity and serviceability of mass concrete in various applications.
