Abstract:
Mass concrete placements require attention to design requirements and construction
considerations to manage internal concrete temperature rise and thermal stresses that can lead to cracking. ASCC concrete contractors recognize that when mass concrete is specified, project success relies on clear definition of mass concrete elements and temperature limits, including early coordination and project-specific thermal control plan requirements and its optimization.
