Análise numérica do comportamento térmico em blocos de coroamento e comparação com medições in loco

Abstract

The monitoring of the temperature in the fresh concrete has great usefulness, since it may observe the thermal behavior of the structure at specific locations , checking the potential risk of cracking from thermal sources. Moreover, simulations can be performed to predict the temperatures at early ages in order to obtain a fast solution of the problem. One should, however, always possible to combine the convenience of computational methods to predict with reliability the actual measured values.
