Special concretes - Mass concrete - Temperature monitoring, nomogram, minimizing restraints

Title - Special concretes - Mass concrete - Temperature monitoring, nomogram, minimizing restraints, surface insulation
The lecture opens with the issues with mass concreting suh as thermal cracking, and the ways to avoid cracking. The measurement of temperature differential in mass concreting and the ways to tackle the temperature differential are also addressed. The requirements to be considered while designing mass concrete and a nomogram for concrete mix temperature are discussed in detail. The lecture also addresses ways to minimize restrain. The concept of surface insulation is further discussed.
