    Mass concrete

    @dik thanks We can do a different mix with GGBFS but it will take time for testing, approvals and rafts are ready to pour. so we dont have time for a new mix approval. Flyash increase will not help in achieving below 70 Deg C because of high strength mix, and large depths (3.5meters avg). Max...

    Mass concrete

    @SlideRuleEra thanks Flyash Type F is used. Microsilica was used for below reasons, 1. durability requirements in terms of RCP, water permeability 2. ACI 201.2R16 specifies microsilica (min 5%) to be used in combination with flyash(min 25%). The table is attached in my posts. 3. strengths are...

    Mass concrete

    ACI 301 Section 8 on "Mass Concrete" specifies 70 Deg C peak core temperature and differential temp as 20 Deg C without specifying if the mix contains pozzolans or no. It could be talking about 100% portland cement mix that is more susceptible to thermal reactions and higher evolution of heat...
