FEM and experimental investigations of concrete temperature field in the massive stemwall of the bridge abutment

Abstract

The paper deals with the prediction of early-age concrete temperature of cast-in-place stemwall of the bridge abutment. The considered object is an arch bridge located in Gda´nsk. In the case of massive structures, it is particularly important to not exceed the temperature difference between the core and the concrete surface. Too high temperature gradient generates an increase in thermal stresses, what could be the reason of exceeding the tensile strength and as a consequence cracking occurrence. Therefore, the numerical simulations of concrete hardening were conducted using own codes of finite difference and finite elements method. Based on numerical results the project of monitoring system was developed. The concrete temperature of stemwall was registered during 12 days by using fifteen 1-wire digital sensors. The recorded thermal data are highly consistent with FE results, which confirms the accuracy of the finite element model. The conducted calculations and in-situ measurements allowed to determine guidelines for proper curing of massive abutment’s wall.
