Abstract
Performance of two massive concretes for the Three Gorges Dam Project (TGP) made by High Belite Portland Cement (HBC) and Moderate Heat Portland Cement (MHC) are reviewed. Comparison tests reveal that both HBC and MHC massive concretes used in the TGP project possess excellent performance in terms of workability, mechanical performance, and durability, such as the resistance to freezing-thawing, permeability and carbonation, and volume stability etc. In particularly, HBC dam concrete exhibits better performance in the aspects of mechanical behavior, thermal properties as well as cracking resistance when compared with MHC dam concrete.
