Master of Technology Thesis: Thermal Stresses in Mass Concrete at Early Ages - Experimental and Theoretical Verification

Project Investigator: Dr. Durgesh C. Rai, Professor, Civil Engineering, IIT Kanpur December 2010

• • Emphasis on volume change due to early age heat of hydration and shrinkage phenomenon in concrete

  • Behavior of temperature profile under flowing fluid interaction

  • A scale model of pavement for temperature profile and stresses in concrete

  • 3D FEM analysis in Abaqus CAE using Fourier Heat Conduction Equation

  • Modeling and experimental computation of other properties like Specific Heat, Thermal conductivity, Degree of Hydration etc.

  • Interaction of reinforcement and concrete under thermal stress
