Performances of the high strength low heat pump concrete (HLPC)

Abstract

The effects of mineral admixtures on fluidity, mechanical and hydrational exothermic behavior were studied. The results show that, double-adding ways, i e, fly ash and slag were added at the same time, not only improves the fluidity of fresh concrete with low W/B and compensates the lower early compressive strength of harden concrete caused by high adding amount of fly ash, but also greatly reduces the highest temperature rise, exothermic rate and total heat liberation of 3 day of binder pastes in HLPC, and postponed the arrival time of the highest temperature rise. HLPC was prepared and applied to project practice successfully.
