The analyzed point is

considered in the 6 Elements with

center of the slab thickness:
- Unidirectional 0.066 m
thermal diffusion.

0.4 m
X=0
 Hydration rate elevation due to elevated in-place temperature

Approximations of the model:

- Cement content is relatively low

with respect to other simulation
of CIRIA.

- Contemporary simulation is
needed because hydration heat
is highly dependent on the in-
place temperature.
 Heating from exterior
as a bulk Heating up with hydration,
Starting point: taking into account
- No hydration hydration rate elevation
- 60 ° C on the surface originated from elevated
- 10 °C in the core temperature (37.8 °C)
