Abstract
The adiabatic temperature rise of early-age concrete can be precisely tested by the device. However, the insufficient accuracy of testing device can lead to inaccurate measurements of adiabatic temperature rise of later-age concrete. The purpose of this paper is to create a model to predict the hydration heat of later-age concrete. Based on the previous studies, it is known that the heat release of the concrete is accomplished with the increment of the concrete strength and concrete strength can be accurately measured. Thus, a preliminary later-age hydration heat model was established. The correction of the model was verified through experiments.
