The concrete of the main structure of subway stations is highly constrained, so the temperature effect and shrinkage effect generated during the construction process often cause large restraint stress, thus causing the problem of structural cracking. Therefore, low-heat-of-hydration cements are usually used in such construction work to reduce the temperature during the aging of concrete. Therefore, based on the hydration heat release subprogram of concrete, an effective numerical simulation was carried out, and compared with the semi-adiabatic temperature rise test, a method of numerical calculation and parameter fitting to solve the influence coefficient of the hydration heat model was proposed, and the sensitivity of the hydration heat release model and the influence coefficient for several concrete mixtures with additives was studied. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) Combined with the measured temperature curves of several types of mineral-admixed concrete, the composite exponential exothermic model of several types of mineral-admixed concrete can be obtained by adjusting the parameter fitting to solve the influence coefficient of the exothermic hydration model proposed in this paper. (2) One can adjust the influencing coefficient a to control the maximum temperature of concrete. Similarly, the temperature curve of concrete can be adjusted by modifying the influencing coefficient b.

The concrete used in the main structures of subway stations has a high degree of constraint. Consequently, temperature changes and shrinkage during construction frequently lead to significant constraint stress, which can result in structural cracking. Therefore, cement with low hydration heat is commonly used in engineering to reduce the temperature of concrete during its age. Aiming at the problem of hydration and heat release caused by concrete construction, based on the principles of concrete hydration heat release and a numerical analysis method, an optimized semi-adiabatic temperature rise test method has been introduced to investigate concrete temperature rise characteristics with different mineral admixtures. The following conclusions were obtained: The effect of reducing the heat of hydration is related to the content and material properties of different mineral admixtures, but not the type of mineral admixture to be incorporated. The temperature rise performance of four common mineral admixtures is as follows: ① total cooling capacity: limestone powder > slag, fly ash > metakaolin; ② early heat generation rate: metakaolin > slag > fly ash > limestone powder; ③ heat reduction rate in the middle and late periods: metakaolin > limestone powder > fly ash > slag.
