Concrete Cracking Control of Chamber wall in Jiepai Ship-lock Project

Based on analysis of crack problem of chamber wall ship lock expansion project in Jiepai province, the related research of countermeasures have been made, to solve the cracks occurs in the structure. The countermeasure of cracks are analysed by monitoring internal-external temperature and shrinkage stress of chamber wall. It is provided that the rational measures could make less cracks occur, including fiber lattice with curing of insulation and moisture materials and optimization of proportion mix. A series of investigations are carried out insitu and prove countermeasures of cracking control effectively. This paper states the technical details and developing of inner temperature and shrinkage in chamber wall by adopting above measures.
