Effectiveness of the fineness of two South African Portland cements for controlling early-age temperature development in concrete
Temperature gradients due to heat of hydration of cement can cause cracking and present serious structural and serviceability concerns in concrete structures. Engineers use a wide range of strategies to limit the potential for such cracking, mainly by minimising the maximum temperature in the concre...
