This paper presents the findings of an investigation in which the finite element method was used to assess the effects of various construction procedures on the cracking performance of a hydrating massive concrete element. A 1.07 x 1.07 x 1.07 m (3.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 ft) concrete block is modeled using the DIANA finite element analysis software and the inputs for the mechanical and thermal proper¬ties of early-age concrete based on values obtained experimentally from a concrete mixture used in the construction of mass concrete in Florida.
