0 Introduction
In the technical specifications given by the project consultant CECB, under section 18 on
page 48 it is said that :
Successful Tenderer
calculations carry for the building considering both strength wise and Thermal
crack control wise. Design of building and construction should be based on the
following requirements:
a. Concrete Pouring Temperature less than 30 Centigrade.
b. Maximum Hydration Temperature of concrete less than 70 Centigrade.
c. Maximum differential Temperature within the pour concrete and with
adjoining concrete less than 20 Centigrade.
d. Maximum crack width less than 0.15mm.
Contractor should carry out mix design for concrete to be used and make trial
blocks for temperature monitoring before commencement of construction. The
minimum size of concrete block is 3.4x2.5x4.0m.
To address same in the design calculations, two trial blocks were cast to get empirical
data for temperature variation across the section with time.
The walls in the basement are of a maximum width of 2.4m to prevent radiation caused in
the Clinac Rooms at service. The minimum size of the test block specified is
3.4x2.5x4.0m (LxWxH). Nevertheless the first block was cast to a size of 1x1x1m 3. The
second block was cast to the actual maximum wall thickness of 2.4m, a convenient length
of 1.5m and a pouring height of 2.0m to simulate the actual height during construction.
(The results of previous trials have been annexed).
For temperature monitoring before commencement of construction, a trial block of
3.4x2.5x2m will be cast to be witnessed by the consultants. Here, the length and the width
were determined as per the specifications and the height is to match with the actual
pouring height of a lift.

OPC is used with 25% pulverized fly ash (PFA) by weight to reduce the
temperature rise in concrete
: Shading the stock piles from the direct rays of the Sun.
Course Aggregates will be sprayed with water prior to use.
Cement
: Fly ash blended cement will be blown in to the silo at least 12 hrs
prior to being used for production to keep cement at low
temperature.
Water
prior to mixing in
Formwork should be kept without striking until the peak temperature of the block reaches
to a temperature which equals to the ambient temperature + 20 C. Formwork will be kept
about 7-8 days to satisfy this (Refer Fig A.1)
