N2  - The purpose of this study is to investigate experimentally the  effectiveness of thermal insulation applied to exposed surfaces of mass  concrete by using different types of insulating materials. Thermocouples  which are used to measure the temperature are installed at various  positions in the vertical, horizontal and diagonal directions of the  specimens.  Test results revealed that among the three types of insulating  material investigated, sand, mineral wool, .and foam, it was found that foam  was the most effective thermal insulator. The peak temperature in mass  concrete occurred at about 11 hours after casting the concrete. In the case  of mass concrete foundation, it is necessary to provide insulating at the  bottom surface as the soil underneath the concrete cannot be regarded as an  insulating material. It is recommended that a layer of sand, about 25 cm  thick, be provided at the bottom to serve.as insulator
