Mass Concrete and Power Generation
Construction for new power generation facilities, whether it's wind, solar, geothermal, coal, gas or nuclear, often involves massive concrete placements.
Owners expect concrete structures to have minimal cracking and a long service life. Decisions and practices prior to and during construction determine whether or not the concrete of such placements crack and can also affect whether or not the concrete achieves the desired service life.
John Gajda, Senior Principal Engineer, and Jon Feld, Materials Consulting, at CTLGroup, co-authored this article, which appeared in the "What Works" section of the November 2011 issue of Power Engineering.
