Abstract Temperature-induced cracking during the construction of mass concrete is a significant concern. Numerical simulations of concrete temperature have primarily assumed that the concrete is placed in an open environment. The problem of heat transfer between the air and concrete has been simplified to the concrete’s heat dissipation boundary. However, in the case of tubular concrete structures, where air inlet and outlet are relatively limited, the internal air temperature does not dissipate promptly to the external environment as it rises. To accurately simulate the temperature and creep stress in tubular concrete structures with enclosed air spaces… More >
