Thermal crack resistant, temperature control concrete
Large concrete structures require high strength concrete which generates high heat of hydration. Irrespective of the best curing practices, thermal tensile cracks develop reducing structural life and can pose legal & reputational risk. Structural engineers need a concrete solution that delivers high strength and contains the heat of hydration within prescribed limits.
Thermal cracks increase exponentially beyond 500 mm concrete thickness. This may lead to major structural damage and reduced life of monolithic structures. UltraTech presents a highly engineered concrete solution, specially designed to contain core temperature of concrete under 70 deg. C, and maintain temperature gradient as per industry norms. This enables safe mass concreting by reducing thermal cracks.
