Study on Arrangement of Cooling Water Pipe to Control Hydration Heat of Concrete in Beam of Cable-Stayed Bridge

The box girder joint section of the Yangtze River Highway Bridge is taken as the research background, and the finite element software MIDAS/FEA is used to simulate the hydration heat of concrete to the layout of cooling water pipe in building mass concrete. The finite element calculation results are in well agreement with the measured data. On this basis, the influence of changing the diameter and distance of the cooling water pipe, the inlet temperature and the flow rate on the temperature of hydration heat is studied. The results show diameter of the cooling water pipe and inlet temperature have a significant effect on the temperature of hydration heat. The change of water flow rate has little effect on the temperature of hydration heat. It provides a reference for the layout of the same concrete cooling water pipe arrangement.
