Thermal CrackingRule of Thumb: Cracking will result
when the temperature of the concrete deck exceeds the temperature of the girders by more than 20° C (36° F).

Conclusions - Experiences
Optimized concrete mixes with relatively low cement (paste) contents are very pumpable, placeable, and finishable
Temperature can be controlled using ice
![Page 78: Control of Cracking in Bridge Decks - NESMEA of Cracking in Bridge Decks ... Thermal Cracking Rule of Thumb: ... all control bridges are in the same county as LC-HPC bridge](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020214/5aa7f9b27f8b9ac5648cd77a/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Techniques can be learned easily and workers can become proficient in a short period of time
Bid prices are dropping as contractors become more familiar with the methods involved
