Option 1. Heat of Hydration Analysis

Heat Transfer Analysis based on construction stages
Convection, Heat Source, Pipe cooling, etc

[Heat of Hydration in Stage Analysis]

[ Time History Graphs for resulting stresses and temperatures ]

Heat of hydration analysis is important when casting mass concrete structures. It enables us to predict and control temperature and stress distribution to
avoid potential problems such as cracking in concrete and reducing strength.
Mass concrete structures requiring heat of hydration analysis depend on their dimensions, shapes, cement types and construction conditions. In practice,
hydration analyses are normally carried out for slabs or mats in excess of 800~1000mm in thickness and walls confined at bottom in excess of about 500mm.
Surface cracking may develop initially due to the temperature difference between the surface and center. Through-cracks can also develop as a result of
contraction restrained by external boundary conditions in the cooling process of high heat of hydration. The heat of hydration analysis is largely classified
into several sub-analyses.
It entails temperature distribution analysis for conduction, convection, heat source, etc.; change in modulus of elasticity due to curing and maturity; and

Fiber Analysis

Inelastic Hinge Model

For considering the seismic load, we need to consider the material nonlinearity of a structure. For this, we can perform pushover analysis or time
history analysis. Pushover analysis can be applied only for the regular shape buildings. For the irregular shape of buildings, we need to perform
inelastic time history analysis.
In midas Gen, we can also consider the Fiber model, which models with beam element and checks the concrete stress and cracks in the cross section.
