2. Enter the relevant data necessary for
the heat of hydration analysis in the sub menus of Load > Hydration
Heat Analysis Data.
3. In Analysis > Hydration Heat Analysis
Control, specify the temporal discretization factor, initial temperature,
location of stress output and whether or not to include Creep and Shrinkage.
5. Once the analysis is completed, check
the analysis results in contours, graphs and animation.
From the Main
Menu select Analysis
> Heat of Hydration Analysis Control.
Heat
of Hydration Analysis Control dialog box
Final Stage
Specify a stage to be considered as the final
construction stage of the heat of hydration analysis.
Last Stage
Assign the last stage as the true last stage.
Other Stage
Assign a stage within the overall construction stages as the final stage.
Analysis will be performed only up to the Stage specified here.
Integration Factor
Enter the Temporal discretization Factor,
used in heat transfer analysis.
= 0: Forward difference
=
1/2: Crank-Nicolson method
=
2/3: Galerkin method
= 1: Backward difference
Initial Temperature
Specify the initial temperature used in the
heat transfer analysis.
Element Stress Evaluation
Specify the location in solid elements for
stress output.
Center:
Use the stresses at the centers of the solid elements to represent the
stresses of the individual elements.
Gauss:
Use the stresses at the Gauss points as the nodal stresses.
Nodal Point:
Interpolate the stresses at the Gauss points for nodal stresses.
Creep & Shrinkage
Account for Creep and Shrinkage in the analysis.
Type
Select one of the options for inclusion of creep and shrinkage in the analysis.
Creep Calculation
Method
Select one method for calculating creep between the method using Code (General)
and the method using effective modulus of elasticity (Effective Modulus).
General
When General is selected, creep and shrinkage are accounted for according
to the Code specified in Time Dependent Material (Creep/Shrinkage).
Convergence
for Creep Iteration
Specify the convergence requirement for ending the repetitive process in
the analysis reflecting creep.
Number of
Iterations: Maximum number of repetitions
Tolerance:
for convergence
Effective Modulus
Effective Modulus of Elasticity is an approximate
calculation method to account for creep.
The reduction factor, phi1, is applied to
Modulus of Elasticity from 0(day) to n1(day). The
reduction factor, phi2, is applied to Modulus of Elasticity after n2 (day).
Between
n1 and n2, the reduction factor is interpolated.
Note
If a file of a previous version, which contains creep data defined by Effective
Modulus method, is opened, the related creep data becomes deleted. The
data needs to be redefined.
Use Equivalent Age by Time & Temperature
Select whether or not to use Equivalent Age
based on Time and Temperature for Heat of Hydration Analysis.
Include Selfweight Load
Check this option to include Selfweight.
Enter "-1" to
consider the selfweight in the gravity direction.
