Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of concrete construction technology, and more specifically, relates to a method and system for temperature control construction of large-volume concrete based on phase change energy storage. Background Technology
[0002] Mass concrete construction is a key technology in modern building engineering, primarily used in projects requiring extremely high structural integrity and durability, such as high-rise building foundations, large equipment foundations, hydraulic dams, and bridge piers. However, a core challenge in this construction is the temperature difference between the internal and external surfaces caused by the heat of cement hydration. The internal temperature of concrete can reach 60-65℃, while the surface dissipates heat more rapidly. If the temperature difference exceeds 25℃, the resulting thermal stress may exceed the tensile strength of the concrete, leading to through-cracks or surface cracks. This not only weakens the structure's waterproofing but may also threaten overall safety. Therefore, the core objective of mass concrete construction is to achieve structural integrity while suppressing crack formation through material selection, processing techniques, and temperature control measures.
[0003] There are three major problems in the construction of large-volume concrete: (1) The conventional cooling water pipe layout is simple. The cooling water pipe only conducts heat on the surface, which is inefficient and easily forms local low temperature zones. The concrete around the water pipe is prone to cracking. (2) Ordinary concrete has a large shrinkage rate, which generates tensile stress under constrained conditions. Excessive cement content aggravates temperature rise shrinkage. Ordinary concrete is not tough enough. Under temperature stress, cracks expand rapidly and it is difficult to achieve self-healing through aggregate interlocking. (3) Concrete temperature data depends on manual monitoring. It usually takes 3 to 5 hours from data recording, manual analysis and control instructions to issuance, which leads to serious delays in intervention measures. At the same time, there is a lack of synchronous monitoring of temperature-stress-humidity. Existing methods can only obtain a single temperature parameter and cannot provide early warning of stress over-limit risks.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a large-volume concrete temperature control construction method and system based on phase change energy storage to control the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete and reduce the risk of temperature stress cracks. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned deficiencies or improvement needs of existing technologies, this invention provides a method and system for temperature control construction of large-volume concrete based on phase change energy storage. By filling phase change microcapsules with a gradient density between conventional cooling water pipes and concrete, these microcapsules undergo a solid-liquid phase change during the peak hydration heat period, absorbing a large amount of heat and delaying heat transfer to the concrete interior. Through phase change temperature control, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete is controlled, reducing the risk of temperature stress cracking. Simultaneously, by optimizing the concrete mix design and employing intelligent temperature control, the peak concrete temperature is reduced compared to conventional concrete construction temperature control, keeping the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete within specifications, reducing concrete shrinkage, and shortening the construction period.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for temperature control construction of large-volume concrete based on phase change energy storage is provided, specifically including the following steps: S100. Establish a BIM model of the concrete component pouring area according to the design dimensions, set up temperature sensors in the concrete component to monitor data in real time, and predict the temperature field in combination with the BIM model. S200, between conventional cooling water pipes and concrete protective layer, phase change microcapsules are filled with gradient density to form a phase change energy storage buffer layer, which delays the transfer of heat to the interior of concrete components. S300: Based on the predicted temperature field, dynamically adjust the inlet water flow and water temperature to control the temperature peak and the cooling rate. S400: Fiber grating sensors are arranged at the four corners and mid-span of the concrete member to detect the strain rate of change. S500 establishes a digital twin temperature control platform, integrates temperature, humidity and strain data, constructs a three-dimensional thermodynamic model, predicts the temperature rise trend of concrete components, and adaptively regulates the temperature.
[0007] Furthermore, in step S100, the model needs to be built in conjunction with the on-site construction environment. Then, based on the BIM model, the location and timing of the maximum temperature rise point are predicted. This specifically includes the following steps: S101. Collect environmental parameters of the construction site, and record information on the construction area including geographical conditions, formwork type and insulation measures, and maintenance methods. Establish a site environmental database and conduct quantitative analysis. S102. Establish an accurate three-dimensional BIM model of the concrete component according to the design dimensions, and integrate the site environmental data, construction parameters, and concrete material properties into the model to ensure that the model contains multi-dimensional data including geometric information, physical properties, and environmental impact. S103. Import the geometric data and integrated information of the BIM model into the analysis software, set boundary conditions according to the site environment, and construct a temperature field analysis model associated with the BIM model. S104. Run the temperature field analysis model to simulate the temperature change process at different time points after concrete pouring, output the temperature field distribution data at each time point and connect the calculation results with the BIM model. S105. Through data interaction technology, the temperature field analysis results are mapped into the BIM model to realize the visualization of temperature distribution at different time points on the model and intuitively present the temperature change trend. S106. Based on visualized temperature field data, analyze the temperature peaks of each area in the BIM model, determine the location with the highest temperature, extract the temperature-time curve of that point, determine the specific time when the maximum temperature rise occurs through the peak value of the curve, and verify the rationality of the prediction results in combination with on-site environmental parameters.
[0008] Furthermore, in step S101, the environmental parameters include ambient temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation intensity. The geographical conditions of the construction area include its location at the foundation pit and the obstruction caused by surrounding buildings. In step S103, the boundary conditions include the ambient temperature change curve over time, the template heat transfer coefficient, and the solar radiation coefficient.
[0009] Furthermore, step S200 specifically includes the following steps: S201. Based on the design dimensions of the concrete components, the spacing of the cooling water pipes, and the thickness of the protective layer, determine the phase change temperature, particle size, and specific parameters for different density gradients of the phase change microcapsules. S202. Clean the surface of the cooling water pipes and the inside of the concrete protective layer of debris and dust to ensure that the contact surface is flat and clean. Check the installation position of the cooling water pipes and apply release agent to the inside of the protective layer formwork. S203. In the space between the cooling water pipe and the protective layer, according to the preset density gradient parameters, divide several filling areas parallel to the cooling water pipe, and use a marker pen or special separator strip to mark the partition boundaries on the inside of the template or the surface of the cooling water pipe. S204. Start filling from the first gradient zone near the cooling water pipe. Mix the phase change microcapsules of the corresponding density with the binder in proportion and stir evenly. Inject the mixture into the area. During the filling process, tap the template lightly or use a vibrating tool to ensure that the material is compacted until the first gradient zone is filled and the surface is smoothed. S205. Fill the subsequent gradient regions in the order of the marked partitions. After each gradient region is filled, check whether the connection with the previous gradient region is tight. S206. After all gradient zones are filled, cover the phase change energy storage buffer layer with a moisturizing film for curing. Control the temperature and humidity of the curing environment according to the characteristics of the adhesive to ensure that the material is fully cured and forms a structurally stable buffer layer. S207. After the buffer layer has cured, check its thickness and density in each gradient zone to ensure they meet the preset parameters. Simulate the ambient temperature change before concrete pouring, test the buffer layer's heat transfer blocking effect, and verify its compatibility with cooling water pipes and concrete protective layer.
[0010] Furthermore, after step S200 is completed, the concrete components should be poured in layers. Before pouring, the gel material needs to be pre-cooled and homogenized, specifically as follows: Cement is stored in warehouses 7 days in advance, with the temperature inside the warehouses kept constant at ≤25℃ to prevent moisture absorption and clumping, which would reduce its activity; fly ash is produced using an ultrafine grinding process. Coarse aggregates are cooled to a temperature of 3-7℃ by liquid nitrogen spraying; Fine aggregate is protected from the sun by building a canopy and sprayed with cold water until the temperature reaches 15℃; A water pressure test is also required for the cooling water pipes, and a flow meter is used to test the water flow rate of each circuit to ensure that the error with the design is within the allowable range.
[0011] Furthermore, step S300 specifically includes the following steps: S301. Import the temperature field data predicted by the BIM model into the dynamic control system, and set the temperature control threshold for each monitoring point in accordance with the concrete temperature control specifications to establish a data association model. S302. By using temperature sensors embedded in concrete components, the actual temperature data of each monitoring point is collected in real time and transmitted synchronously to the control system. The data is then compared in real time with the temperature field predicted by the BIM model to analyze the deviation between the actual temperature and the predicted value. S303. Based on the predicted initial temperature field distribution and the location of the cooling water pipes, set the initial inlet flow rate and water temperature of the cooling water pipes to ensure that the water flow evenly covers each area. S304. When the monitoring data shows that the temperature in a certain area is close to the preset temperature peak threshold, the system automatically analyzes the corresponding cooling water pipe section in that area, prioritizes increasing the inlet water flow rate of that section of water pipe, and at the same time reduces the inlet water temperature. S305. When the temperature at the monitoring point reaches its peak and begins to decrease, the system switches to the cooling rate control mode, calculates the cooling rate of each point in real time, and if the cooling rate exceeds the safety threshold, gradually reduces the inlet water flow of the cooling water pipe in the corresponding area or increases the inlet water temperature. S306. When multiple areas experience temperature anomalies simultaneously, the system optimizes the flow distribution of the cooling water pipe network through algorithms, prioritizing the cooling needs of high-risk areas, while fine-tuning the parameters of secondary areas through valves. S307. After each dynamic adjustment, continuously monitor the temperature change of the corresponding area to verify the effectiveness of the adjustment measures. If the effect does not meet expectations, re-analyze the cause of the temperature field deviation, correct the inlet water flow rate, water temperature parameters, or adjust the cooling strategy until the temperature control requirements are met. S308 records the inlet flow rate of the cooling water pipe, the water temperature adjustment curve, and the temperature change data of each monitoring point throughout the process, and forms a comparative report with the temperature field prediction results of the BIM model.
[0012] Furthermore, in step S301, historical engineering data is used to predict the critical temperature peak threshold for different regions through multi-feature nonlinear mapping, replacing the traditional empirical threshold, to obtain the temperature peak threshold, safe cooling rate threshold, and regional temperature difference threshold for each monitoring point.
[0013] Furthermore, in step S302, when the actual temperature data is collected, the nonlinear temperature field is processed by EKF. Specifically, the temperature change of concrete is affected by nonlinear factors such as heat of hydration and heat dissipation from the environment. EKF outputs high-precision real-time temperature by filtering the linearized state equation. Then, anomalies are detected through isolated forests. Specifically, for sensor malfunctions, the isolated forest algorithm is used to cluster the temperature series, identify outliers that deviate from the normal distribution, and mark them.
[0014] Furthermore, the specific steps include: S401. Select a fiber optic strain sensor with suitable range and accuracy, and establish a multi-dimensional calibration relationship of wavelength-strain-temperature in advance through a calibration bench. S402. Plan measurement points at the four corners and mid-span, use the BIM model for three-dimensional positioning, and output the coordinates and layout of the measurement points. S403. Grind and clean the marking mounting surface, then wipe it with anhydrous ethanol to remove oil and dust; S404. Lead the sensor out to the end of the component or the reserved detection port, connect it to the fiber optic patch cord, and mark the corresponding sensor number for the fiber optic channel. S405. Connect the fiber optic grating demodulator, set the demodulator parameters, apply simulated strain to each sensor, verify the correspondence between the sensor reflection wavelength change and the strain, and compare the calibration curves. S406. Assign dedicated personnel to monitor the sensor status. If sensor displacement or fiber breakage is found, stop pouring immediately and repair the damage. S407. During concrete curing and structural use, the sensor wavelength data is collected by a demodulator at the set sampling frequency, and the strain value is converted using the calibration relationship to calculate the strain change rate. S408: Real-time analysis of strain change rate. When it exceeds the warning threshold, an alarm is triggered. Combined with temperature field data, it distinguishes between temperature strain and load strain to help determine the stress state and cracking risk of concrete components.
[0015] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a large-volume concrete temperature control construction system based on phase change energy storage is provided, comprising: Preliminary prediction module: used to create a BIM model of the concrete component pouring area according to the design dimensions, set temperature sensors in the concrete component to monitor data in real time, and combine the BIM model to predict the temperature field; Phase change buffer module: used to fill phase change microcapsules with gradient density between conventional cooling water pipes and concrete protective layer to form a phase change energy storage buffer layer, delaying the transfer of heat to the interior of concrete components; Inlet water regulation module: used to dynamically adjust the inlet water flow and water temperature according to the predicted temperature field, control the temperature peak and control the cooling rate; Strain detection module: used to place fiber optic grating sensors at the four corners and mid-span of concrete members to detect the rate of strain change; Trend prediction module: Used to establish a digital twin temperature control platform, integrate temperature, humidity and strain data, construct a three-dimensional thermodynamic model, predict the temperature rise trend of concrete components, and adaptively regulate the temperature.
[0016] In summary, compared with the prior art, the above-described technical solutions conceived by this invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: 1. The large-volume concrete temperature-controlled construction method of the present invention involves filling phase change microcapsules with a gradient density between conventional cooling water pipes and concrete. During the peak hydration heat period, the phase change microcapsules undergo a solid-liquid phase change, absorbing a large amount of heat and delaying heat transfer to the interior of the concrete. Through phase change temperature control, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete is controlled, reducing the risk of temperature stress cracking. Simultaneously, by optimizing the concrete mix design and using intelligent temperature control, the peak concrete temperature is reduced compared to conventional concrete construction temperature control, keeping the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete within the specified requirements, reducing concrete shrinkage, and shortening the construction period.
[0017] 2. In the large-volume concrete temperature control construction method of the present invention, in step S100, modeling and prediction serve as the initial stage of basic prediction. Based on design parameters and historical data, the possible temperature change range of the concrete component is initially predicted, providing a basis for sensor deployment and the division of key monitoring areas. This is used as a basis to control the cooling parameters, with the final data results serving as a reference. In step S500, combining the data from the initial prediction and the data obtained after the initial prediction operation, based on multi-source real-time data integrated by the digital twin platform and combined with a three-dimensional thermodynamic model, the temperature rise trend is accurately predicted, providing decision support for adaptive temperature control. Dynamic optimization is achieved through real-time data feedback, forming a progressive relationship of "initial prediction—real-time correction—accurate prediction," jointly supporting the accuracy of the entire process of concrete component temperature control, thereby achieving better temperature control results.

[0022] By filling phase change microcapsules with a gradient density between conventional cooling water pipes and concrete, the microcapsules undergo a solid-liquid phase change during the peak of hydration heat, absorbing a large amount of heat and delaying heat transfer to the interior of the concrete. Phase change temperature control manages the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete, reducing the risk of temperature stress cracking. Simultaneously, by optimizing the concrete mix design and using intelligent temperature control, the peak concrete temperature is reduced compared to conventional construction methods, keeping the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete within specifications, reducing concrete shrinkage, and shortening the construction period.
[0023] In step S100, the model needs to be built in conjunction with the on-site construction environment.

[0024] In step S101, the environmental parameters include ambient temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation intensity. The geographical conditions of the construction area include its location at the foundation pit and the obstruction from surrounding buildings.
[0025] In step S103, the boundary conditions include the ambient temperature change curve over time, the template heat transfer coefficient, and the solar radiation coefficient.
[0026] Step S200 specifically includes the following steps: S201. Based on the design dimensions of the concrete components, the spacing of the cooling water pipes, and the thickness of the protective layer, determine the phase change temperature, particle size, and specific parameters for different density gradients of the phase change microcapsules.

During the curing period, regularly check whether the buffer layer has cracks or hollows and repair them in time. S207. After the buffer layer has cured, check its thickness and density in each gradient zone to ensure they meet the preset parameters. Simulate the ambient temperature change before concrete pouring, test the buffer layer's heat transfer blocking effect, and verify its compatibility with cooling water pipes and concrete protective layer.
[0027] After step S200 is completed, the concrete components should be poured in layers. Before pouring, the gel material needs to be pre-cooled and homogenized. Specifically: cement should be stored in a warehouse 7 days in advance, with the temperature inside the warehouse controlled at ≤25℃ to avoid moisture absorption and clumping, which would reduce its activity; fly ash should be ground using an ultrafine grinding process; coarse aggregate should be cooled to 3-7℃ by liquid nitrogen spraying; fine aggregate should be protected from the sun by a canopy and sprayed with cold water to a temperature of 15℃. A water pressure test should also be conducted on the cooling water pipes, and the flow rate of each loop should be tested using a flow meter to ensure that the error with the design is within the allowable range.
[0028] Step S300 specifically includes the following steps: S301. Import the temperature field data predicted by the BIM model into the dynamic control system, and set the temperature control threshold for each monitoring point in accordance with the concrete temperature control specifications to establish a data association model. S302. By using temperature sensors embedded in concrete components, the actual temperature data of each monitoring point is collected in real time and transmitted synchronously to the control system.

S306. When multiple areas experience temperature anomalies simultaneously, the system optimizes the flow distribution of the cooling water pipe network through algorithms, prioritizing the cooling needs of high-risk areas, while fine-tuning the parameters of secondary areas through valves. S307. After each dynamic adjustment, continuously monitor the temperature change of the corresponding area to verify the effectiveness of the adjustment measures. If the effect does not meet expectations, re-analyze the cause of the temperature field deviation, correct the inlet water flow rate, water temperature parameters, or adjust the cooling strategy until the temperature control requirements are met. S308 records the inlet flow rate of the cooling water pipe, the water temperature adjustment curve, and the temperature change data of each monitoring point throughout the process, and forms a comparative report with the temperature field prediction results of the BIM model.
[0029] In step S301, historical engineering data is used to predict the critical temperature peak threshold for different regions through multi-feature nonlinear mapping, replacing the traditional empirical threshold, and obtaining the temperature peak threshold, safe cooling rate threshold, and regional temperature difference threshold for each monitoring point.
[0030] In step S302, when the actual temperature data is collected, the nonlinear temperature field is processed using EKF. Specifically, concrete temperature changes are affected by nonlinear factors such as heat of hydration and environmental heat dissipation. EKF outputs high-precision real-time temperature through filtering of the linearized state equation. Then, anomalies are detected using isolated forest. Specifically, for sensor faults, the temperature sequence is clustered using the isolated forest algorithm to identify and mark outliers that deviate from the normal distribution. The state equation of EKF is: ; in, Let k be the temperature at time k. Let the flow rate be at time k-1. Water temperature The sampling interval is... This is process noise.
[0031] In step S303, the temperature field data predicted by the BIM model in step S301 is used as input. Combined with the spatial relationship between the cooling water pipes and the high-temperature zone, the initial flow rate and water temperature of each water pipe are calculated through a weighted and corrected Nusselt number model to ensure that the cooling intensity matches the regional heat load.
[0032] The heat that the k-th water pipe needs to remove is equal to the regional hydration heat power. Calculated according to the heat balance equation, specifically: ; in, Let be the heat exchange area of the k-th water pipe. Let K be the core temperature of the region where the k-th water pipe is located. Let be the initial inlet water temperature of the k-th water pipe. Let k be the heat load coefficient of the area corresponding to the k-th water pipe. Let K be the temperature field volume of the area covered by the k-th water pipe. The convective heat transfer coefficient is... The initial hydration heat release rate per unit volume of concrete.
[0033] Based on the relationship between flow rate and flow velocity, the initial flow rate of the k-th water pipe is derived as follows: ; in, Let k be the length of the k-th water pipe. For Nusselt numbers, The thermal conductivity of water, This refers to the inner diameter of the water pipe.
[0034] The heat load coefficient of the area corresponding to the kth water pipe Specifically: ; in, The characteristic distance is half of the average spacing between water pipes. This represents the shortest distance between the k-th water pipe and the high-temperature core area. This is a distance decay factor; the closer to the core area, the higher the weight. For temperature gradient.

[0037] The convective heat transfer coefficient for: ; This refers to the diameter of the cooling water pipe.
[0038] In step S304, the predicted temperature trajectory for the next 6-12 hours is used as a constraint. Rolling optimization is employed to calculate the flow rate and water temperature adjustment amounts for the current moment, ensuring that the temperature does not exceed the control threshold while avoiding over-adjustment. The objective function determines the control parameters, specifically: ; in, Adjust the weight for traffic. For initial traffic, The rate of heat release during hydration, and , The attenuation coefficient is... To predict the time domain, This is the peak temperature threshold.
[0039] In step S304, during the heating process, a double layer of geotextile is laid on the surface of the concrete component, and a high-pressure micro-mist device is used to spray it while keeping the covered surface free of standing water.
[0040] In step S305, during the cooling process, a curing agent is sprayed to form a film after the side membrane is removed, by storing water at a depth of more than 10 cm and the water level at the location is greater than 15℃.
[0041] Step S400 specifically includes the following steps: S401. Based on the size of the concrete component and the design strain range, select a fiber optic strain sensor with suitable range and accuracy, and establish a multi-dimensional calibration relationship of wavelength-strain-temperature in advance through a calibration bench. S402. Based on the structural type of the concrete component, plan the measuring points at the four corners and mid-span, use the BIM model for three-dimensional positioning, output the coordinates and layout of the measuring points, and mark the sensor number and installation direction with paint or labels at the corresponding positions of the formwork / reinforcing steel skeleton. S403. Before pouring concrete, grind and clean the marking installation surface, then wipe it with anhydrous ethanol to remove oil and dust, ensuring that the base layer is dry and clean, and then attach the fiber optic grating sensor to the marking position. S404. Lead the sensor out of the optical fiber and arrange it in an orderly manner along the surface of the component. Use cable trays and conduits for protection. Lead the optical fiber to the end of the component or reserve the detection port, connect it to the optical fiber jumper, protect the joint, and mark the corresponding sensor number of the optical fiber channel. S405. After the sensor is installed, connect the fiber optic grating demodulator, power it on, set the demodulator parameters, apply simulated strain to each sensor, verify the correspondence between the sensor's reflected wavelength change and the strain, and compare the calibration curves. S406. Assign a dedicated person to monitor the sensor status and avoid direct contact between the vibrator and the sensor and optical fiber. If sensor displacement or optical fiber breakage is found, stop pouring immediately and repair the damage. S407.
