Abstract

In this paper, a novel synthetic heat storage form incorporating phase change materials (SHSPCM) was developed to prevent concrete from early frost damage at extremely low temperature. This method exploited the huge latent heat of phase change materials to achieve the continuous curing of concrete, and electric heating coupled insides to provide phase change materials with enough heat energy to achieve repeated occurrence of phase change. Curing experiment results showed that concrete cured by this novel heat storage method gained excellent mechanical strength and accelerated hydration at the temperature of −15 °C. A numerical simulation was conducted to simulate the heat transfer and temperature evolution during one curing period. The numerical results presented well agreement with the experimental measurements, indicating the usability of numerical simulation to predict the temperature evolution of cold weather concrete and guide the structural parameter design of SHSPCM. This work provides insights into the quality control of concrete placed in extremely temperature, providing a safe and energy-saving solution for winter construction in cold region.
