Abstract:In order to study the influence of hydration heat on the structural crack resistance during the pouring of mass base slab, taking a Y-pier variable cross-section continuous rigid-frame bridge with the main span of 148 m as the engineering background, starting from various mechanical and physical characteristic parameters involved in the calculation and analysis of hydration heat, its finite element model is established to simulate the temperature field and stress field during the pouring process. The code is used to judge the calculation and simulation results so as to obtain the temperature control measures to guide the actual pouring process and improve the construction quality and efficiency. The results show that the maximum internal temperature occurs in the period of 2~3 d. In the actual pouring process, the attention should be paid to the adverse impact of the early temperature surge on the structure; The maximum inner surface temperature difference of concrete structure occurs in the period of 2~3 d, and the maximum tensile stress occurs in the period of 28 d, indicating that the hydration heat after pouring has little effect on the structural stress in the early stage, and the tensile stress increases due to the shrinkage and creep of concrete in the later stage. The maximum principal tensile stress of concrete is 2.8 MPa, which occurs at the 28 th day. The effective thermal insulation and moisturizing measures shall be taken to ensure the crack resistance of the structure.
