The mechanical and physical properties of the concrete of the slab and the wall are shown in [Table 1]. To include the effects of hydration reactions in the wall, the adiabatic heat development
of the concrete (expressed in terms of heat vs time) is provided in [Table 2].
For the cooling pipes, in order to account for the convection exchange with the surrounding concrete, we have to specify their conduction coefficient and heat capacitance, as shown in [Table 1].
Moreover, the temperature of the water entering the cooling pipe is required.

Figure 84: Degree of reaction - Time step 16 (5 days) Figure 85: Degree of reaction - Time step 25 (30 days)
As highlighted in [Fig. 83]-[Fig. 84], the cooling pipes slow down the hydration process of the surrounding concrete. Indeed, the degree of reaction of the concrete in the top part of the wall
(far from the cooling pipes) is always higher than that in the bottom and middle part (close to the cooling pipes).
Figure 90: Temperature - Time step 16 (5 days) Figure 91: Temperature - Time step 25 (30 days)
Since degree of reaction of the concrete in the wall is not homogeneous ([Fig. 82]-[Fig. 85]), in [Fig. 88]-[Fig. 91] we observe a clear variation of the temperature depending on the distance from
the cooling pipes (the profile of the pipes is highly visible in the contour plot of the temperature). In particular, the closer to the circuits the lower the temperature of the concrete.
Figure 96: Equivalent age - Time step 16 (5 days) Figure 97: Equivalent age - Time step 25 (30 days)
As show in [Fig. 94]-[Fig. 97], the equivalent age in the concrete is higher far from the cooling pipes (especially at the top of the wall). This is a direct consequence of the non-homogeneous
temperature field illustrated in [Fig. 88]-[Fig. 91].

Figure 102: Temperature - Time step 16 (5 days) Figure 103: Temperature - Time step 25 (30 days)
The increased temperature in the concrete of the wall ([Fig. 88]-[Fig. 91]) leads to a variation of the temperature of the cooling pipes as shown in [Fig. 100]-[Fig. 103]. In particular, at time
step 8 ([Fig. 101]) the high temperature of the concrete in the top part of the wall ([Fig. 89]) considerably increases that of the top pipes.
