Features: The main content of temperature control design involves calculating the temperature of various parts of concrete structures and their application; researching how to reduce concrete temperature, to what extent, and how to perform surface protection to reduce temperature differences and lower tensile stress. To meet the needs of those who are initially involved in temperature control work, the book is basically organized according to the steps of temperature control design. During the design process, additional research or understanding of the geological conditions of the building, design intent, concrete testing, and construction layout, as well as concrete pouring methods and schedule arrangements, should be included to consider selecting data for temperature control calculations and calculation variation conditions, thereby making the temperature control design more reasonable and economical. The content of the book primarily focuses on water conservancy and hydropower engineering, but also includes some special concrete projects. The book incorporates relevant data from many projects and summarizes practical experience in temperature control design and construction, as well as research findings on some issues. It also proposes calculation methods or approximate calculation methods for uncommon yet significant topics, hoping to benefit readers in their future work.
