Autogenous Volume Deformation of Hydraulic Concrete

AbstractIn hydraulic mass concrete construction, the autogenous volume deformation is a more important factor for concrete to generate adverse tensile stress, which will lead to structural cracks. The adverse effect of autogenous volume deformation of concrete will be offset by cooling pipe skills. That is, to make the volume deformation unchangeable or minimum after pouring, the autogenous volume deformation is set to be counteracted by moderate temperature expansion deformation. The simulation results show that the adverse effect of autogenous volume shrinkage deformation of concrete can decrease obviously by controlling cooling water during construction period. The results can provide certain references to hydraulic mass concrete rapid construction
