• Abstract:
  This Phase II project contained two parts. Part A focused on the investigation of the characteristics and thermal properties of commonly used slags in Iowa cementitious materials and their effects on adiabatic temperature rise (ATR) in Iowa mass concrete structures. A new hydration model for slag-containing cementitious materials and a three-parameter ATR prediction model were developed and validated. These models were incorporated into the ConcreteWorks software, significantly improving its thermal predictions for mass concrete with slag. Part B focused on the development of a new seal slab component in the ConcreteWorks software. This new component is simple, user friendly, and well-integrated into the existing ConcreteWorks software and enables the prediction of the temperature profile of a bridge footing placed on a seal slab.
