Thermal Control Plans for Mass and Thermally Controlled Concrete
Historically, mass concrete is widely used in dam structures, bridge piers, matt foundations, and other large structures that require, substantial volumes of concrete. Additionally, thermally controlled concrete, which may not have the same volume and dimensional characteristics as traditional mass concrete, also require thermal considerations because of the higher cementitious content that leads to high internal temperatures. For the purpose of this article, thermally controlled concrete will also be referred to as mass concrete.
