Mass Concrete
From ASDSO Dam Safety Toolbox
"Mass concrete is defined as any volume of concrete with dimensions large enough to require that measures be taken to cope with generation of heat from hydration of the cementitious materials and attendant volume change to minimize cracking. A gravity dam and a navigation lock are examples of massive structures." [1]
