Temperature Control Technique and Analysis of Mass Concrete in the Pile Cap of Main Pier in Yangtze River Bridge

Abstract

The paper analyzed the temperature control technique measures of mass concrete in the pile cap of main pier in Yangtze River Bridge. Consider the effect of the cooling pipe, ANSYS finite element analytical software was used to calculate the temperature field of the pile cap in the construction, the distribution rules of the temperature field was simulated by finite element analysis. It is shown that the cooling effect of the mass concrete is obvious by using cooling water pipe, the finite element calculation results can be used to lead to the design and construction. It also provides the reference to develop a reasonable temperature control solutions during the construction of the similar mass concrete.
