Abstract:
Based on the compressive strength of isothermally cured concrete with and without slag, a model is proposed to estimate the strength of concrete in a massive concrete structure, when the temperature of the concrete is known. Preliminary verification is demonstrated for ordinary portland cement concrete and concretes containing 50 and 70 percent of slag cured under simulated mass concrete conditions for a period of 28 days.
