This paper investigated the temperature history of mass concrete mock up structure considering different heat generation by varying with mixture proportion. Setting time difference between high early strength mixture (E-P) and retarding mixture (R-F30) was 14.5hours. Incorporation of 30% of fly ash contributed to 10℃ of hydration heat reduction. In generally used A and B combination, bottom concrete shows earlier hydration, while C~G combination showed reverse tendency and thus, this method can reduce the crack occurrence. For compressive strength, the mixture combination of S-F30(top section), R-F30(bottom section), which incorporate fly ash exhibits a reduction in compressive strength by as much as 5~10MPa compared with other mixture combination. There's no remarkable difference of strength development with and without fly ash based on the results of core test. Therefore, heat generation difference method has beneficial effect on reducing crack induced by hydration heat resulting from heat generation difference between surface and center section.
