Maximum allowable concrete temperature
Maximum allowable concrete temperature
(OP)
We have a bridge pile cap that is approximately 10' thick.
We are concerned about the core temperature during curing.
We plan to place the concrete at night and use ice.
What would be recommended as a maximum core temperature and are there other techniques to use to limit the tempature rise?

RE: Maximum allowable concrete temperature
Get a copy of ACI 207.1. There's more there than you'll ever want to know.

I have an article from the Jan 2002 Concrete International "Controlling Temperatures in Mass Concrete" which provides some guidance.
