NEXTGEN Concrete - Tests of the Future: Thermal Profile
The objectives of this project are the following: (1) Evaluate the performance of the Calmetrix F-Cal 8100 device for this analysis; (2) Develop the materials and dimensional specifications for a testing apparatus assembled from available off-the-shelf items; (3) Develop a temperature profile analysis protocol or recommend commercially available software; (4) Develop an FDOT calibration/baseline mix recipe for use by all in a “comparative” approach. The heat generation profile of a proposed mix compared to the baseline mix. (5) Develop preliminary threshold for mass concrete exclusion based on the results of the developed analysis protocol
