3) Temperature Measurement 10/25/2016 32
3) Temperature Measurement (1/5) Calorimetry, measures energy at a constant sample temperature. Simple explanation of Graph Zones; 1) Gypsum through solution incases clinker. 2) Alkalis turn solution to 13 ph. 3) Encasement dissolves, and clinker hydration begins. 4) Initial Aluminate reactions complete, strength reactions continue for 21 to 91 days slowing to insignificant strength gain. 10/25/2016 33

4) Mass Concrete, DEF (1/3) The Trojan Horse of Sulfate Delayed Ettringite Formation (DEF) Initially ettringite is formed as expected in the plastic stage, however With temperatures over 150 F (65 C) ettringite decomposes as the sulphate is enticed to join with the C-S-H paste, which they do, however 10/25/2016 40
4) Mass Concrete, DEF (2/3) Trojan Horse of Sulfate Delayed Ettringite Formation When the atmosphere around them cools, the sulphate ions lose interest slowly migrate back to ettringite - this can take a month or two to complete. The ettringite is a larger volume crystal as it attracts water and acts as an internal wedge splitting the concrete apart with some cracks noted in literature exceeding 1 wide. 10/25/2016 41

5) Water as Temperature Control (2/9) Chilled water Cools water, to low 40 s F. Electricity predominate cost. Cooling concrete is limited to water replacement. Replace water; every 5F the chilled water is below concrete temperature provides -1F; -6 to -12F reduction. 10/25/2016 46
