Four-function principle for optimization design of green high performance massive concrete

Abstract

A four-function principle was proposed for the optimization design of green high performance massive concrete (GHPMC) based on the theory of value engineering and the adiabatic temperature change control. A set of concrete formulas were designed according to the orthogonal experiment. The experimental results were analyzed by applying the variance analysis method to find out the effects of influential factors and determine the optimum mixture formula. In addition, the four-function principle was successfully applied to optimize the mixture formula in field massive concrete engineering. The practical results show the adiabatic temperature change of massive concrete could be efficiently controlled, and the excellent durability, good workability and high compressive strength could be achieved.
