Abstrakt: The article deals with issues of the thermal cracking resistance in massive concrete and reinforced concrete structures during the building period. The paper lists the calculation results of the NPP reactor foundation mat thermal stressed state and thermal cracking resistance. The research also considers the concrete hardening temperature influence on its thermo-physical and deformation characteristics. The deformation criterion is used to calculate the concrete thermal cracking resistance. In addition, the paper focuses on the assignment of safe concrete pouring technological parameters in the winter period. Furthermore, the article estimates the necessity of the structure peripheral electric heating during the building period.
