This study is aimed to develop time-dependent models for predicting hydration degrees of cement and slag, free water amount, specific heat, and total heat generation of concrete incorporating slag. &nbsp;These models are then composed to predict the adiabatic temperature rise of mass concrete incorporating slag. &nbsp;The model is able to predict adiabatic temperature rise in mass concrete with different water to binder ratios, slag replacements, physical properties of slag, and initial temperature conditions. &nbsp;The validity of the proposed model was evaluated by comparing the model predictions with test results for adiabatic temperature rise of slag concrete. &nbsp;The model simulations can be used to predict the experimentally measured data from different</p>}, number={3}, journal={Engineering Journal}, author={Dabarera, Arosha and Saengsoy, Warangkana and Kaewmanee, Krittiya and Mori, Kanako and Tangtermsirikul, Somnuk}, year={2017}, month={Jun.}, pages={157-171} }
