Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of concrete mix optimization and particularly relates to a reverse design method for early-age concrete anti-cracking. Background Art
[0002] Concrete has become one of the most widely used building materials due to its excellent mechanical properties and economy. The durability of concrete is essential to ensure the safety and service life of the structure. However, concrete cracks, especially early cracks, will seriously affect the durability of the structure. Therefore, the study of early crack control in concrete has become one of the important research directions in concrete engineering.
[0003] The early-age behavior of concrete includes heat release from hydration reaction, heat conduction and thermal deformation, self-volume deformation, age effect, and performance degradation due to damage. These behaviors are affected by the complex coupling of multiple physical fields such as hydration field, temperature field, stress field, and damage field. In addition, the evolution of early-age behavior of concrete does not exist independently, but has an intrinsic connection, and each variable is difficult to control independently, which makes it impossible for traditional test-based concrete mix optimization to take into account the coupling of multiple physical fields.
[0004] In addition, traditional early crack control methods mainly focus on reducing shrinkage. However, this is only a local optimal solution considering the driving force. The existing technology cannot obtain the global optimal solution and perform global optimal solution optimization design.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a reverse design method for early-age concrete crack resistance to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
[0006] The present invention provides a reverse design method for early-age concrete crack resistance. Based on a chemical-thermal-mechanical-phase field damage coupling model, the damage development index is used as a control target, and a concrete mix ratio optimization design with global optimization of crack resistance under the coupling of multiple physical fields is achieved. The method is more consistent with actual working conditions, and the global optimal solution can be considered in terms of early-age crack control of concrete. This provides strong support for the design of concrete structures and overcomes the technical defects actually existing in use as proposed in the background technology.
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0044]
[0045] a2=1.386, a3=0.9106, m=2.
[0046] Preferably, in S2, the coupling effect of the damage field, temperature field and hydration field is considered, which is specifically manifested in that the occurrence of damage will lead to the degradation of thermal conductivity and chemical potential, and the hydration field, temperature field, displacement field and phase field are fully coupled to simulate, and the interleaved algorithm and Newton-Raphson solver are used to solve the coupling problem.
[0047] Preferably, in S3, the creep strain in the stress-strain constitutive relation of concrete consists of transient thermal creep and foundation creep;
[0048] Among them, transient thermal creep is defined as:

It consists of three Kelvin-Voigt units connected in series to form a Kelvin-Voigt chain. A single Kelvin-Voigt unit includes a spring and a damper in parallel, and the evolution relationship of a single Kelvin-Voigt unit is as follows:

[0062] Preferably, in S5, unlike the previous local optimization design method with minimum shrinkage as the goal, the damage development index Idd is used as the design control index; it is defined as the ratio of damage driving force to damage resistance, representing a global control index from the perspective of damage driving force and damage resistance game, and its expression is as follows:
[0063]

[0065] Preferably, in S5, anti-cracking optimization measures are adopted to adjust the concrete mix ratio, and the anti-cracking optimization measures include but are not limited to adjusting the type of cement, adding the content of mineral admixtures (such as fly ash, slag), adjusting the amount of aggregate, and adding admixtures (such as auxiliary cementitious materials, temperature rise inhibitors, expansion agents, shrinkage reducers, etc.), which are used to change the physical properties and chemical reaction processes of concrete.
[0066] Preferably, in S6, the test factors are key control factors of the early shrinkage cracking process, including the permeation threshold α0, the final value of autogenous shrinkage η a , Final value of elastic modulus E ∞ , Final value of tensile strength f t∞ , Final value of fracture energy G c∞ , elastic modulus development index nE, tensile strength development index nf t , fracture energy development index nG c And chemical potential function A(α). By analyzing and adjusting the above factors, the purpose of optimizing the crack resistance of concrete is achieved.
[0067] Preferably, in S6, the shrinkage cracking law is determined by single factor analysis. In the single factor analysis, it is assumed that other factors remain unchanged and only the control factor is changed for calculation to obtain the shrinkage cracking law without considering the coupling effect of multiple factors.
[0068] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0069] By taking the peak value of the damage development index as the control target, it is possible to quantitatively evaluate the shrinkage cracking risk of early-age concrete structures under different material properties, development processes, constraints and curing temperatures, and provide the material property combination and development process that optimizes cracking resistance, thereby guiding the optimal design of concrete mix, avoiding a large amount of experimental exploration, and reducing manpower and material costs. This is of great significance for the control of early cracks in concrete structures and is a significant improvement compared to existing technologies. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
