Anti-Crack Performance of Low-Heat
Portland Cement Concrete
Abstract: The properties of low-heat Portland cement concrete(LHC) were studied in detail. The experimental results show that the LHC concrete has characteristics of a higher physical mechanical behavior, deformation and durability. Compared with moderate-heat Portland cement(MHC), the average hydration heat of LHC concrete is reduced by about %. Under same mixing proportion, the adiabatic temperature rise of LHC concrete was reduced by 2 ℃-3℃,and the limits tension of LHC concrete was increased by 10×10-6-15×10-6 than that of MHC. Moreover, it is indicated that LHC concrete has a better anti-crack behavior than MHC concrete.
Key words: low-heat portland cement; mass concrete; high crack resistance; moderate-heat portland cement
1 Introduction
The investigation on crack of mass concrete is a hot problem to which attention has been paid for a long time. The cracks of the concrete are formed by multi-factors, but they are mainly caused by thermal displacements in mass concrete[1-3]. So the key technology on mass concrete is how to reduce thermal displacements and enhance the crack resistance of concrete.
As well known, the hydration heat of bonding materials is the main reason that results in the temperature difference between outside and inside of mass concrete[4,5]. In order to reduce the inner temperature of hydroelectric concrete, several methods have been proposed in mix proportion design. These include using moderate-heat portland cement (MHC), reducing the content of cement, and increasing the Portland cement (OPC), MHC has advantages such as low heat of hydration, high growth rate of long-term strength, etc[6,7]. So it is more reasonable to use MHC in application of mass concrete.
Low-heat portland cement (LHC), namely highbelite cement is currently attracting a great deal of interest worldwide. This is largely due to its lower energy consumption and CO2 emission in manufacture than c
