Numerical Simulation Analysis on Mass Concrete Thermal Stress

Cement hydration heat temperature of the concrete could result thermal stress. Which is an important reason for the concrete structure’ cracks. The cracks could reduce the structure’ durability and structural stability. A spatial finite element model analysis on a mass concrete foundation board of a project was established using large-scale finite element analysis software. Temperature stress finite element analysis was carried on model. Numerical simulation analyzed the hydration heat of mass concrete construction phase and calculated the mass concrete’ temperature and stress distribution. Results of numerical simulation of crack control had certain guiding significance to mass concrete construction.
