Early-age behaviour of the concrete surrounding a turbine spiral case : monitoring and thermo-mechanical modelling

Within massive structures hydration reactions of the cement present in the mixture promote an internal heat release. Due to the low thermal conductivity of concrete, the dissipation rate of this thermal energy is lower than the rate of production of hydration heat, so considerable temperature gradie...
