Phase III: Investigation and Guidelines for Best Practices of Thermal Control for Mass  Concrete Construction Projects

This research aims to expand the applicability of decision-making tools to various concrete mixes, including accommodating temperature differential and cost implications while exploring emerging cement and supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) combinations. The research team will also identify a time-cost tradeoff among different thermal control methods to increase the net benefit of a mass concrete construction project.
