Question: ( a ) Determine the temperature rise in a mass concrete member after 7 days. The mix proportion of concrete is 1 : 1 .

(a) Determine the temperature rise in a mass concrete member after 7 days. The mix proportion of concrete is 1:1.60:2.40:0.50(Cement : Fine aggregate: Coarse aggregate : Water). Assume that the Heat of hydration of cement after 7 days =500kJkg; Specific heat of water =4.18kJkgC; Specific heats of solids =0.22 times that of water. (Answer: 74.7C)
(b) If the 30% heat loss is expected near the surface due to lower ambient temperature, what will be the concrete temperature near the surface? (Answer: (:52.3C}
(c) If you have decided to replace 20% of cement with fly ash, what will be the rise in temperature after 7 days at the core and near the surface? Assume negligible heat evolved by the pozzolanic reaction of fly ash. (Answer: 59.8C,41.8C)
