Reviewer 1 Report

A simplified method for real-time prediction of temperature in mass concrete at early age

Journal: Applied Sciences

The paper describes new method for real-time prediction of temperature in mass concrete at early age, which is important from the practical point of view.

Good technical work. Nevertheless, I recommend the discussion on size of samples. The same prediction can be used for bigger block? This point should be discussed dipper.

Reviewer 2 Report

Need to revise the language (many typos)

need to clarify which kind of thermometer is used and how data are acquired

Fig 1b: unit of measure missing in the drawing

Lines 139-140: how the temperature is measured in the water pipes?

Fig.3: better to uniform the y-axis length in order to compare better the results

Line 178: what is A2?

Fig 5: unifom the y-axis length to allow better comparison of results.

Line 223-224: the cooling effect time – how did you evaluate such information?
