Abstract

Many factors play important role during concreting base slabs, industrial floors and concrete pavements. Often, there is a tendency to design the structure so that the crack does not arise or arise only with the limited crack width. The aim of this article is to present a thermodynamic numerical model. By using this model it is possible to calculate the development of temperature at any time and place of base slab, industrial floor or concrete pavement at the early stage. Then it is possible to investigate the risk of crack creation. The model works on the basis of the final element method and also by appropriate way takes into account the concrete formula, treatment and also climate impacts. Numerically acquired values by the former model are compared to experimental data measured on real buildings. An interesting fact of static task which is investigating cracks on concrete structures, is that an investigating is at an early stage is influenced especially by the composition of the concrete, climate impacts and method of treatment. Based on the former calculations it is possible to optimize the construction process from the point of view already mentioned impacts. Thus, the result can is economically designed structure which satisfies required quality parameters.
