A Low Temperature Rise Mixture for Mass Concrete

It is necessary to control the temperature rise and differentials in mass concrete placements because of the heat of hydration of cementious materials. It is often difficult to limit temperature rise, though alternative binder systems have been shown to help. A recent project evaluated the temperature rise in portland cement concrete and a concrete called ekkomaxx which used a fly ash-based hydraulic cement. The ekkomaxx mixture showed greater reductions in temperature rise than the portland cement concrete.
