    5. Conclusion

    The future of concrete temperature monitoring and thermal control methods lies in promising technological developments. These advances will improve the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring systems, while simplifying their implementation on construction sites.

    The concrete hydration process can be divided into several stages: pre-induction, dormancy period, strength gain, and stable state. The heat released can be evaluated experimentally, through adiabatic or semi-adiabatic tests, or through numerical modeling. The hydration reaction is influenced by many parameters, such as the composition and fineness of the cement, as well as the concrete mix design.

    The hydration reaction of cement generates heat in concrete elements, a phenomenon that is accentuated in massive structures. Concrete undergoes endogenous and drying shrinkage, which can...
