Temperature profiles in central monolith at different
stages of constructionTensile stresses – possibility of cracking
Simulation InsightBeginning construction in May (hotter air temperatures) resulted in greater tensile stresses showing that it might
be better to begin construction in November. Other parameters such
as materials could be altered to allow different construction times.

Center and taller blocks are keyed and grouted
Shorter blocks at ends are not keyed/grouted and so act independently
