Colorimetry as a technique to estimate the heating temperature of concrete has proven useful.
Then, a real concrete structure was built, and the temperature of concrete was measured.
However, the thermal conductivity of concrete is not good and the allowable temperature of concrete is lower than that of steel.
The test results showed that cements with low clinker content allow to significantly reduce hardening temperature of concrete and thus, minimize the risk of cracks formation in concrete.
However, since the thermal conductivity of concrete is low and the allowable temperature of concrete is lower than that of steel, the concrete storage cask must be designed to have heat-removal capability with appropriate reliability.
There are many methods for measuring the inner temperature of concrete, but they often have limitations, such as indirect estimation, cable installation requirements, high cost, or heterogeneity of the sample structure.
