cooling of mass concrete
1. When cooling large-volume concrete, it can be mixed with dry concrete plus air-entraining agent or plasticizer. In this way, the amount of cement in the concrete can be reduced, thereby helping the large-volume concrete to cool down quickly. .
2. It is also possible to add water to the concrete, and then cool the gravel with water. This method should be used when mixing concrete, which can reduce the pouring temperature of mass concrete.
3. If the temperature is very high in summer, we can reduce the thickness of the mass concrete when pouring, which can help the layer of mass concrete to dissipate heat, thereby achieving a cooling effect.
4. You can bury some water pipes in the mass concrete, and then pass in cold water to cool down the mass concrete.
