Report on Cooling and Insulating Systems for Mass Concrete
Also Known As:
ACI 207.4R-20 standard focuses on the thermal control of concrete in mass concrete applications. The primary objective of this standard is to address the need for controlling volume change induced by temperature change in mass concrete.
The standard provides a comprehensive review of various thermal control methods, including precooling, postcooling, and insulation systems. It aims to provide engineers and practitioners with a thorough understanding of these methods and their application in mass concrete projects.
Additionally, the standard presents a simplified method for computing the temperature of freshly mixed concrete that has been cooled using different systems. This provides a practical approach for estimating the temperature of concrete in real-world scenarios.
