| Abstract |
This paper presents the development of a computational program to predict the temperature distribution of high strength concrete structure members. The numerical simulation procedure starts with a hydration model that describes the evolution of cement paste microstructure as a function of the changing composition of the hydration products. The coefficients for the hydration model are determined with an artificial neural network technique. Temperature distribution is calculated based on a three dimensional mesh. Predicted temperature curves are compared with experimental data and a good correlation is found. |
