<p>Methods of controlling mass concrete temperatures range from relatively simple to complex and from inexpensive too costly. Depending on a particular situation, it may be advantageous to use one or more methods over others. Based on the author’s 50 years of personal experience in designing mass concrete structures, <i>Thermal Stresses and Temperature Control of Mass Concrete </i>provides a clear and rigorous<b> </b>guide to selecting the right techniques to meet project-specific and financial needs. New techniques such as long time superficial thermal insulation, comprehensive temperature control, and MgO self-expansive concrete are introduced. </p><ul><li>Methods for calculating the temperature field and thermal stresses in dams, docks, tunnels, and concrete blocks and beams on elastic foundations</li><li>Thermal stress computations that take into account the influences of all factors and simulate the process of construction</li><li>Analytical methods for determining thermal and mechanical properties of concrete</li><li>Formulas for determining water temperature in reservoirs and temperature loading of arched dams</li><li>New numerical monitoring methods for mass and semi-mature aged concrete</li></ul>
