Abstract

The purpose ofthe project is to verify ifthermal cracking will occur in large unreinforced concrete cubes due to large temperature differences during hardening o f the concrete. The first part o f the project is to numerically simulate the temperature development during hardening, evaluate the risk of thermally induced cracking under varying execution conditions, and verify the temperature calculations by carrying out measurements in situ. The cubes are cast and cured under marine environmental conditions in the north western part of Spain and are to serve as coastal proteetion in a harbour under construction.
Since the cubes will eventually be exposed to a severe environment it is important to avoid thermally induced crack formation.
