Determination of temperature fields and stresses during the construction of a massive monolithic foundation slab of a wind turbine tower

The article proposes a method for determining temperature fields and stresses during the construction of massive monolithic structures in two-dimensional axisymmetric formulation. solution is performed using finite element method. calculation takes into account shrinkage concrete, as well change its physical mechanical characteristics over time. problem calculating foundation wind turbine presented. Recommendations are given to reduce risk early cracking.
