Ambient Temperature Functions
|
|
|
Heat of hydration analysis is divided into two parts - ambient temperature analysis and stress analysis. Ambient temperature analysis considers not only the internal heat transfer of the mass concrete, but also the external heat transfer which occurs on the surface of the concrete. The user assigns the ambient temperature at the contact of the surface to consider the external heat transfer. |

Function Name: Enter the name of the ambient temperature function. Function Type: Specify the type of the ambient temperature function. Constant:Assign a constant ambient temperature. Sine Function: Ambient temperature fluctuates in a Sine function. User: User defined variation of ambient temperature
T: Amplitude of the Sine function to: Time immediately after concrete casting (days) To: Initial temperature immediately after concrete casting
Time: Assign the time Temperature: Assign the corresponding temperature. Note If the duration of the entire construction stage exceeds the time assigned for ambient temperature function, then the final temperature continues up to the last construction stage. |
