Temperature Regime and Thermal Stress in a Concrete Massif with Pipe Cooling

Аннотация

Using the Midas Civil 2011 software system, numerical studies were conducted of the temperature regime and thermal stress state of a concrete massif during its construction, for the cases without the use of, and with the use of, pipe cooling. The usage of pipe cooling made it possible to exclude the occurrence of critical values of temperature gradients and thereby minimize the risk of occurrence of thermal fractures.
