I. DISCUSSION
           During the curing process concrete undergoes an exothermic chemical reaction. Generally this heat production
is of little consequence; it is released over a rather long period and is easily dissipated to the surrounding environment.
         Large concrete structures (mass concrete) however present a problem, the heat generated within the body of the
structure cannot be dissipated quickly, and rather large temperature gradients can develop between the center and the
surface of the structure. These temperature gradients during the cure period produce cracks in the finished concrete
structure. These cracks serve as entry portals for chlorides that have a deleterious effect on the reinforcing steel.
         Temperature gradients can be controlled (reduced) in a variety of manners. Replacing the mixing water with
ice and pre-cooling the aggregate, to reduce the maximum temperature, are methods that are used but with limited
effectiveness. Constructing large structures in small stages, or lifts, can be done, but it is slow and the finished structure
is weakened at the cold joints in the concrete. Another way to reduce these temperature gradients is to modify the mix
design (adding fly ash for example) to slow the curing process. Slowing the curing process means longer construction
times, which may be objectionable. Installing tubing within the structure and circulating a cooling fluid through this
tubing to maintain a rather constant temperature is another option. Both of these last techniques where investigated in
this study.
         Construction at the 580/680 interchange in Dublin included a number of mass concrete pours. Data from six of
these pours is included here. These six pours used three different mix designs as follows; at bents 3, 5, 6 & 10, of the
north east connector, RMC Lonestar mix number 3415 was used, at bent 4, of the north east connector, RMC Lonestar
mix number 6251 was used and at bent 18, of the south east connector, RMC Lonestar mix number 29866 was used.
Concrete mix designs are included in Section 3 of this report.
         At the five locations on the north east connector only the mix design was changed. Data at these locations was
collected at four depths along one edge of the structure and at the same depths near the center of the structure. This data
presents a “global” temperature distribution in the structure.
         At bent 18 of the south east connector auxiliary cooling of the structure was provided. The cooling equipment
circulated chilled water through three 1-inch diameter black steel pipe mats within the structure (see Figure 2 for
schematic of this equipment). In addition to the “global” temperature values at the other locations, data was collected
between the pipes circulating the cooling fluid.
        The data presented in the following pages represents a portion of a continuing California Department of
Transportation study of concrete curing temperatures in mass concrete pours.

VI. FOOTING/THERMOCOUPLE LAYOUT
The overall dimensions of the six footings studied are shown in Table 1 below.
The thermocouple installation was done after the contractor had completed all of his work prior to pouring the
concrete. Thermocouple wire was attached to surplus rebar, with nylon cable zip ties, and lowered into position
from on top of the top reinforcement mat.
The bars used for the “global” temperature data where surplus hooks that connected the top and bottom reinforcing
mats, the top and bottom thermocouples where connected to the bar approximately 9-inches from each end. The
middle two thermocouples where each installed 1/3 of the distance between these, one was 1/3 up from the bottom
and the other was 1/3 down from the top.
To measure the temperature gradient between the cooling pipes in bent 18 of the south east connector a shorter (4-
foot) surplus bar was used. Since adjacent pipes where 3 feet apart, the outside thermocouples where attached 30-
inches apart and the two interior thermocouples where positioned 10 inches inside either of these.
The active connection in the end of the thermocouple wire was 2 to 3 inches beyond the connection of the wire and
the rebar. This was done to minimize any localized effect from the conduction of heat through the reinforcing steel;
it does however mean that the final position could be several inches from the intended position.
