1. Simulation of Hardening of the MahanaKhon Tower Mat Foundation
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : Cement hydration is the result of a series of simultaneous chemical reactions occurring during the production of concrete. An excessive amount of heat is generated, which consequently may give rise to thermal stresses and cause early age cracks in concrete that may affect its structural integrity, and load bearing capacity.

2. Prediction of early age and time dependent deformations in a massive concrete structure
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : The heat development that occurs due to the hydration of cement is important to consider during casting of massive concrete structures. By using computer programs that are based on finite element methods (FEM), simulations can be performed on the heat- and strength development. READ MORE
