Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of concrete pouring, and in particular relates to a construction method for continuous pouring of large-volume and large-height concrete. Background Art
[0002] Large-volume and high-height concrete structures are widely used in important projects such as water conservancy hubs, super-high-rise buildings, and large bridges. Their main characteristics are large concrete pouring volume and high floor height. This type of structure has very high requirements for various properties of concrete, such as compressive strength, shrinkage deformation, surface cracking, density and uniformity. If the construction is improper, various quality problems are likely to occur, seriously affecting the safety and service life of the structure.
[0003] At present, the commonly used methods for pouring large-volume and high-height concrete in the industry are mainly the integral block pouring method and the continuous pouring method. The integral block pouring method divides the overall structure into multiple independent pouring blocks, and pours and maintains them in steps, which can better control the quality of individual pouring blocks, but it is easy to produce joints, affecting the overall performance. The continuous pouring method pours the entire structure in place at one time, which can avoid joint problems, but it is difficult to ensure the uniformity and density of each layer of concrete, especially for large-thick pouring layers exceeding 2 meters.
[0004] That is to say, various parameters in existing large-volume and high-height concrete pouring construction often rely on manual experience, and there is a technical problem that it is difficult to accurately determine the pouring-related parameters. Summary of the invention

[0028] Furthermore, the training steps of the concrete continuous pouring quality assessment model specifically include: constructing a training data set and training a model;
[0029] Among them, constructing a training data set includes:
[0030] S1511. Acquire experimental data of multiple groups of small-scale experiments. Specifically, the small-scale experiments are: under laboratory conditions, using different mix ratios and construction parameters, making concrete test blocks of standard sizes, simulating the pouring and solidification process of large-volume concrete, and performing various performance tests at different ages.

[0034] S1515. Randomly divide the normalized data into a training set, a validation set, and a test set in a ratio of 7:2:1 to obtain a training data set.
[0035] Furthermore, the specific steps of the training model include:

[0042] Furthermore, the concrete test block of standard size is specifically a concrete test block of 150 mm×150 mm×150 mm.
[0043] Specifically, the step S10 specifically includes first obtaining environmental parameters, construction quality requirement parameters and concrete parameters, wherein the environmental parameters include ambient temperature, humidity, sunlight intensity, etc., the construction quality requirement parameters include concrete block size, compressive strength, shrinkage deformation, surface cracking, density, uniformity, etc., and the concrete parameters include cement type and dosage, coarse and fine aggregate ratio, admixture type and dosage, slump, initial setting time, final setting time, etc.; then, based on these obtained parameters, establish a group of equations that comprehensively consider the environment, quality requirements, concrete and casting parameters, including compressive strength equation, shrinkage deformation equation, surface cracking equation, density equation, uniformity equation, etc., so as to calculate the casting parameter range that meets the requirements.
[0044] Specifically, step S20 is to use a continuous pouring method to construct each pouring layer, that is, to pour the concrete of the current pouring layer in one go within a continuous preset pouring time to avoid joints caused by pauses in the middle and improve the pouring quality.
[0045] Specifically, step S30 is to vibrate the concrete of the current pouring layer being poured and the current pouring layer that has been poured according to the preset vibration time and vibration frequency using a vibrator to remove bubbles in the concrete and improve the density. The determination of the vibration time and frequency needs to consider multiple factors such as concrete parameters, environmental conditions and target density.
[0046] Specifically, step S40 is to wait for a certain amount of time to rest after the concrete pouring and vibrating of the current pouring layer is completed, and then continue to use the method of steps S20-S30 to construct the next pouring layer after the concrete strength reaches a level that can bear the weight of the upper layer. The length of the resting time needs to be determined comprehensively based on factors such as ambient temperature, initial and final setting time of concrete, etc.
[0047] Specifically, step S50 is that after completing the concrete construction of all pouring layers, it is necessary to formulate a reasonable maintenance plan based on environmental conditions, concrete mix ratio and quality requirements, and carry out continuous maintenance treatment on the concrete according to the plan, such as sprinkling, covering, and insulation, to ensure that various performance indicators meet the construction requirements and ultimately achieve the safety and durability of the concrete structure.
[0048] Specifically, step S11 first obtains information such as environmental parameters that affect the quality of concrete pouring, construction quality requirement parameters, and concrete parameters. These parameters can be obtained through on-site measurements or by referring to relevant specifications and standards or historical construction records, providing basic data support for subsequent mathematical modeling and parameter optimization.
[0049] Among them, step S12 specifically involves establishing a set of equations for continuous multi-layer pouring of concrete that comprehensively considers the environment, quality requirements, concrete, and pouring parameters. The set of equations covers prediction models for key performance indicators such as compressive strength, shrinkage deformation, surface cracking, density, and uniformity, providing a theoretical basis for subsequent parameter optimization.

[0111] The training steps of the concrete continuous pouring quality assessment model specifically include: constructing a training data set and training a model;
[0112] like Figure 3 As shown, construct a training data set, including:
[0113] S1511. Acquire experimental data of multiple groups of small-scale experiments. Specifically, the small-scale experiments are: under laboratory conditions, using different mix ratios and construction parameters, making concrete test blocks of standard sizes, simulating the pouring and solidification process of large-volume concrete, and performing various performance tests at different ages.

[0125] The specific implementation methods of the above steps are described in detail below:
[0126] Step S10: Divide the continuous concrete pouring process into multiple pouring layers according to the acquired environmental parameters, construction quality requirement parameters and concrete parameters
[0127] The purpose of this step is to divide the entire concrete pouring process into multiple controllable pouring layers, so as to facilitate the special control and optimization of each pouring layer. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0128] First, obtain environmental parameters, construction quality requirement parameters and concrete parameters. Environmental parameters include ambient temperature, humidity, sunlight intensity, etc.; construction quality requirement parameters include concrete block size, compressive strength, shrinkage deformation, surface cracking, density, uniformity, etc.; concrete parameters include cement type and dosage, coarse and fine aggregate ratio, admixture type and dosage, slump, initial setting time, final setting time, etc.
[0129] Secondly, a set of equations for continuous multi-layer concrete pouring is established, which takes into account environmental parameters, construction quality requirement parameters, concrete parameters and pouring parameters. The set of equations includes compressive strength equation, shrinkage deformation equation, surface cracking equation, density equation, uniformity equation, etc. The pouring parameters include the number of pouring layers, the thickness of each layer, pouring rate, vibration time, vibration frequency, static time, pouring time, etc.
[0130] Then, according to the established concrete continuous multi-layer pouring equation group, the value range of the pouring parameters is calculated.
[0131] Next, cluster analysis is performed on the obtained casting parameter range to obtain multiple cluster centers as candidate casting parameter solutions.
[0132] Finally, each candidate pouring parameter scheme is input into the pre-trained concrete continuous pouring quality assessment model to obtain a pouring quality assessment vector. The candidate pouring parameter with the best pouring quality vector is selected as the target pouring parameter, which is used to divide the concrete continuous pouring process into multiple pouring layers and determine the pouring time and static time of each pouring layer.
[0133] Step S20: For each pouring layer, a continuous pouring method is used to continuously pour the current pouring layer.
[0134] The purpose of this step is to construct each pouring layer using a continuous pouring method. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0135] After completing the layering of the continuous concrete pouring process in step S10, a continuous pouring method is used for each pouring layer. That is, the concrete of the current pouring layer is poured in place at one time within a continuous preset pouring time. This can avoid the generation of joints caused by pauses in the middle and improve the pouring quality. The preset pouring time is executed according to the pouring time of each pouring layer determined in step S10.
[0136] Step S30: using a vibrator to vibrate the concrete of the current pouring layer that is being poured or completed according to the preset vibration time and vibration frequency of the pouring layer.
[0137] The purpose of this step is to remove bubbles in the concrete by vibrating and improve the density of the concrete. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0138] First, according to the vibration time and vibration frequency of each casting layer determined in step S10, the concrete of the current casting layer is vibrated by a vibrator. The determination of the vibration time and frequency needs to comprehensively consider factors such as concrete parameters, environmental parameters, and target density. Generally, concrete with higher strength and lower water-cement ratio requires longer vibration time and higher vibration frequency.
[0139] Secondly, the concrete of the current pouring layer being poured and the current pouring layer that has been poured need to be vibrated. This is because there are still some bubbles in the concrete that has just been poured, which need to be removed by vibration. The concrete that is being poured also needs to be vibrated to ensure the density and uniformity of the entire pouring layer.
[0140] Finally, bubbles are removed by vibration and the density of concrete is improved, laying a good foundation for the subsequent maintenance stage.
[0141] Step S40: After the concrete pouring and vibrating of the current pouring layer are completed, after waiting for a predetermined static time, the pouring and vibrating of the next pouring layer are continued using steps S20-S30.
[0142] The purpose of this step is to give the concrete enough standing time after the pouring and vibration of the current pouring layer is completed, and then the next pouring layer can be constructed after the strength reaches a certain level. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0143] First, after the concrete pouring and vibration of the current pouring layer are completed, it is necessary to wait for a certain amount of rest time. This rest time is executed according to the rest time of each pouring layer determined in step S10. The length of the rest time needs to comprehensively consider factors such as the initial setting time, final setting time, and ambient temperature of the concrete to ensure that the strength of the current pouring layer reaches a level that can withstand the weight of the upper layer.
[0144] Then, after the resting time is over, the method of steps S20-S30 is continued to continuously pour and vibrate the next pouring layer. This cycle is repeated until the concrete construction of all pouring layers is completed.
[0145] The advantage of this is that each pouring layer has enough static time to reach a certain strength, thus avoiding the problem of stress transfer between the upper and lower layers. At the same time, continuous pouring and vibration also ensure the internal structure and density of each pouring layer, laying the foundation for the overall excellent quality.
[0146] Step S50: Curing the poured concrete
[0147] The purpose of this step is to effectively maintain the poured concrete to ensure that the various performance indicators of the concrete meet the expected requirements. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0148] First, a reasonable maintenance plan should be formulated based on environmental conditions, concrete mix ratio, construction quality requirements, etc. The maintenance plan should include maintenance time, maintenance methods (such as watering, covering with wet curtains, insulation, etc.), maintenance frequency, etc.
[0149] Secondly, the poured concrete should be continuously maintained according to the established maintenance plan. For example, in a hot and dry environment, the frequency of watering should be appropriately increased to avoid premature surface cracking; in cold seasons, covering and insulation should be adopted to prevent premature freezing of concrete.
[0150] Secondly, monitor all performance indicators of concrete during the curing process, such as compressive strength, shrinkage deformation, surface cracking, etc., and adjust the curing plan in time to ensure that all indicators meet the construction quality requirements.
[0151] Finally, after the curing period, it is necessary to continue to observe and monitor the long-term performance of concrete and take remedial measures when necessary to ensure the safety and durability of the concrete structure.
[0152] In summary, the maintenance work in step S50 runs through the entire concrete pouring construction and is a key link in ensuring the quality of the concrete structure. Only through scientific and reasonable maintenance can the various excellent properties of concrete be brought into play to the maximum extent.
[0153] Step S11: Obtain environmental parameters, construction quality requirement parameters and concrete parameters
[0154] The purpose of this step is to comprehensively collect and organize various parameters that affect the quality of continuous concrete pouring, and provide basic data support for subsequent mathematical modeling and parameter optimization. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0155] First, obtain environmental parameters, including ambient temperature, humidity, sunlight intensity, etc. These environmental parameters will have an important impact on the hydration reaction, strength development, shrinkage and deformation of concrete, and need to be accurately mastered.
[0156] Secondly, obtain the construction quality requirement parameters, including concrete block size, compressive strength, shrinkage deformation, surface cracking, density, uniformity, etc. These parameters reflect the performance index requirements of the construction unit for the final concrete structure and are the basis for judging the pouring quality.
[0157] Secondly, obtain concrete parameters, including cement type and dosage, coarse and fine aggregate ratio, admixture type and dosage, slump, initial setting time, final setting time, etc. These parameters directly determine the mix ratio and performance of concrete and are key factors affecting the quality of pouring.
[0158] All these parameter information can be obtained through on-site measurements or by consulting relevant specifications, standards or historical construction records. The key is to collect them comprehensively and systematically to lay the foundation for subsequent mathematical modeling and parameter optimization.
[0159] Step S12: Establishing a set of equations for continuous multi-layer concrete pouring that takes into account environmental parameters, construction quality requirement parameters, concrete parameters, and pouring parameters
[0160] The purpose of this step is to establish a mathematical model that comprehensively considers various influencing factors and provides a theoretical basis for optimizing pouring parameters. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0161] Firstly, the corresponding prediction model equations are established for the main performance indicators of concrete, such as compressive strength, shrinkage deformation, surface cracking, density, uniformity, etc. These equations need to consider the influence of various factors such as environmental parameters, concrete parameters and pouring parameters.
[0162] For example, the compressive strength equation can adopt an exponential function model that considers the effects of temperature and daily temperature difference; the shrinkage deformation equation can adopt an empirical formula model that considers the effects of humidity, size, and strength; the surface cracking equation can adopt a probabilistic model that considers the effects of stress, strength, creep, etc.; the density equation can adopt an empirical model that considers the effects of vibration time, frequency, and slump; the uniformity equation can adopt a statistical model that considers the degree of discreteness of the measuring points and the influence of the number of casting layers.
[0163] Secondly, the above performance prediction model equations are combined into a comprehensive set of equations for continuous multi-layer concrete pouring. This set of equations can not only predict various performance indicators, but also optimize the pouring parameters according to these indicators, such as the number of pouring layers, thickness of each layer, pouring rate, vibration time and frequency, and static time.
[0164] Thirdly, the unknown parameters in the equation group can be calibrated and optimized through small-scale experimental data, historical construction data, and engineering experience to ensure the prediction accuracy and applicability of the equation group.
[0165] In short, the establishment of such a comprehensive mathematical model provides a theoretical basis and quantitative basis for the subsequent optimization of continuous concrete pouring parameters.
[0166] Step S13: Calculate the pouring parameter range according to the concrete continuous multi-layer pouring equation group
[0167] The purpose of this step is to determine the value range of various casting parameters based on the mathematical model established above, laying the foundation for the next step of parameter optimization. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0168] First, the continuous multi-layer concrete pouring equations established in step S12 are input into a computer program. The equations cover prediction models for key performance indicators such as compressive strength, shrinkage deformation, surface cracking, density, and uniformity.
[0169] Then, a reasonable value range is set for each influencing parameter in the equation group, such as environmental parameters, concrete parameters, pouring parameters, etc. This value range can be determined according to relevant specifications, standards or engineering experience.
[0170] Next, write a calculation program and use numerical analysis methods to solve the equations. By traversing the combination of various parameters, find all feasible solutions that meet the construction quality requirements and record the value range of each parameter.
[0171] Finally, the range of pouring parameters obtained is sorted out to provide a basis for subsequent parameter optimization. These parameters include the number of pouring layers, thickness of each layer, pouring rate, vibration time and frequency, and static time.
[0172] Through this step of calculation, we not only mastered the feasible value range of each parameter, but also laid the foundation for the next step of parameter clustering and optimization, which is crucial for the final determination of the optimized pouring parameter scheme.
[0173] Step S14: Cluster the casting parameter range to obtain multiple cluster centers, and use each cluster center as a candidate casting parameter.
[0174] The purpose of this step is to perform cluster analysis on the casting parameter value range obtained in step S13, find out several representative parameter combinations as candidate solutions, and provide alternative solutions for subsequent quality evaluation. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0175] First, the range of pouring parameter values calculated in step S13 is organized into a multidimensional data matrix. Each row represents a complete set of pouring parameters, including the number of pouring layers, the thickness of each layer, the pouring rate, the vibration time and frequency, the static time, etc.
[0176] Then, clustering algorithms are used to analyze this multidimensional parameter data. Methods such as density-based DBSCAN algorithm or distance-based K-Means algorithm can be used. Through cluster analysis, these parameter combinations can be divided into multiple clusters, each of which represents a casting parameter scheme with similar characteristics.
[0177] Next, a cluster center point is selected from each cluster as a representative to form several candidate pouring parameter schemes. These candidate schemes cover different pouring layers, pouring rates, vibration parameters, etc., which can better cover the original parameter range.
[0178] Finally, these candidate pouring parameter schemes are saved for subsequent use in the quality assessment model of continuous concrete pouring. The candidate schemes obtained through cluster analysis can effectively reduce the calculation amount of the model and also ensure the acquisition of a better pouring parameter combination.
[0179] Step S15: Input each candidate pouring parameter into the pre-trained concrete continuous pouring quality assessment model to obtain a pouring quality assessment vector
[0180] The purpose of this step is to use the pre-trained machine learning model to perform quality assessment on the candidate pouring parameter schemes obtained in step S14, obtain comprehensive performance indicators for each scheme, and provide a basis for the final parameter optimization. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0181] Firstly, a quality assessment model for continuous concrete pouring is constructed. The model adopts a multi-branch neural network structure, including strength sub-network, shrinkage deformation risk sub-network, cracking risk sub-network, internal structure sub-network and fusion sub-network. Each sub-network is responsible for predicting the key performance indicators of concrete, such as compressive strength, shrinkage deformation, surface cracking risk, density and uniformity.
[0182] Secondly, the training data collected in steps S1511-S1515 are used to perform end-to-end training on the multi-branch neural network model. The mean square error loss function is used during training, and the Adam optimization algorithm is used to update the parameters. Performance evaluation is performed on the validation set, and the final concrete continuous pouring quality evaluation model is obtained after the convergence conditions are met.
[0183] Then, each candidate pouring parameter scheme obtained in step S14 is input into the trained evaluation model. The evaluation model will predict the compressive strength, shrinkage deformation, surface cracking probability, density and uniformity of the concrete based on these parameters, and combine these indicators into a comprehensive pouring quality evaluation vector.
[0184] Finally, the pouring quality evaluation vector corresponding to each candidate solution is recorded to provide a basis for subsequent parameter optimization. This evaluation vector contains the key performance indicators of concrete and can fully reflect the advantages and disadvantages of different pouring parameter solutions.
[0185] In summary, this step uses a pre-trained machine learning model to conduct a systematic quality assessment of alternative casting parameters, providing a quantitative basis for the selection of the final solution.
[0186] Step S16: Select the candidate casting parameter with the best casting quality vector as the target casting parameter
[0187] The purpose of this step is to select a set of solutions with the best comprehensive performance from the candidate pouring parameters obtained in step S15 as the final optimization target, which is used to determine the specific construction parameters for continuous concrete pouring. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0188] First, the pouring quality evaluation vector corresponding to each candidate pouring parameter scheme obtained in step S15 is reviewed. The evaluation vector includes indicators such as the compressive strength, shrinkage deformation, surface cracking probability, density and uniformity of the concrete.
[0189] Then, these evaluation vectors are compared and analyzed. Multi-objective decision-making methods, such as TOPSIS or VIKOR, can be used to comprehensively evaluate the pros and cons of each solution based on the weight and ideal value of each indicator. In this way, an optimal solution with the highest overall score can be obtained.
[0190] Next, the pouring parameters of the optimal solution are used as the target pouring parameters to determine the specific construction plan for the continuous concrete pouring process, including the number of pouring layers, the thickness of each layer, the pouring rate, the vibration time and frequency, the static time, etc.
[0191] Finally, the determined target pouring parameters are fed back to step S10 as the basis for stratification of the continuous concrete pouring process. Through such cyclic optimization, the concrete pouring construction plan can be continuously improved and optimized to ensure the quality of the final product.
[0192] In short, this step comprehensively evaluates the candidate solutions mentioned above, selects a set of optimal pouring parameters as the target, and provides a reliable parameter basis for the continuous pouring of concrete. This is crucial to ensure the construction quality of large-volume and high-height concrete.

[0359] 1. Calculation of static time
[0360] The rest time refers to the time you need to wait after pouring a layer of concrete before pouring the next layer. This time mainly depends on the initial setting time of the concrete and the construction environment.
[0361] Calculation steps:

[0374] 2. Calculation of pouring time
[0375] The pouring time is the time required to complete a pouring layer. This time depends on the pouring method, equipment efficiency and concrete volume.
[0376] Calculation steps:
[0377] a) Determine the volume of the casting layer (m³);
[0378] b) Determine the efficiency of the pouring equipment (m³ / h): This is usually determined by equipment specifications and site conditions;

[0390] If it is not satisfied, measures such as pouring in batches or using retarders need to be considered.
[0391] 3. Optimization of pouring time plan
[0392] In order to ensure the quality of concrete and construction efficiency, it is necessary to coordinate the standing time and pouring time:
[0393] a) Define the interval time between continuous pouring :
[0394] ;
[0395] b) Optimization objectives:
[0396] minimize , while ensuring ;
[0397] c) Adjustment method:
[0398] if , consider increasing equipment efficiency ;
[0399] if Too large, consider reducing the safety factor ;
[0400] d) Iterate the calculation until a satisfactory value.
[0401] Through the above steps, the static time and pouring time can be calculated and optimized to ensure the quality and efficiency of concrete construction. In actual applications, more on-site factors may need to be considered, such as weather conditions, labor arrangements, etc., and the calculation results may need to be adjusted appropriately.
[0402] This solution provides an operational parameter range for on-site construction while ensuring that various performance indicators of concrete meet the requirements.
[0403] The entire process of the present invention involves comprehensive consideration of multiple factors such as environmental parameters, construction quality requirements, concrete mix ratio, etc., and uses technical means such as mathematical modeling, parameter clustering, and machine learning to ultimately determine an optimized pouring construction plan.
[0404] Specifically, the principle of the present invention is to establish a comprehensive mathematical model, analyze various influencing factors, accurately predict and control the key performance indicators of concrete, thereby optimizing the pouring parameters and ensuring the construction quality of large-volume and high-height concrete structures. The specific principles are as follows:
[0405] First, the present invention fully considers the influence of many factors such as environmental parameters, construction quality requirement parameters and concrete parameters on the performance of concrete. Environmental parameters include temperature, humidity, sunlight intensity, etc., which directly affect the hydration reaction and strength development of concrete; construction quality requirement parameters include size, compressive strength, shrinkage deformation, density, etc., which reflect the user's expectations of concrete performance; concrete parameters such as cement type, aggregate ratio, admixture dosage, etc., determine the inherent characteristics of concrete. By comprehensively modeling these factors, the actual performance of concrete can be predicted more accurately.
[0406] Secondly, the present invention establishes mathematical prediction models covering key indicators such as compressive strength, shrinkage deformation, surface cracking, density, uniformity, etc. These models use a combination of empirical formulas and statistical analysis methods, taking into account both theoretical foundations and engineering practice data, and can more accurately simulate the changes in various properties of concrete during the pouring process. For example, the compressive strength model takes into account the effects of temperature and daily temperature difference, the shrinkage deformation model includes humidity and size factors, and the surface cracking model integrates multiple effects such as stress, strength and creep.
[0407] Again, based on the above prediction model, the present invention proposes a method for determining pouring parameters with multi-index optimization. First, the parameter value range that meets the quality requirements is obtained by calculation, including the number of pouring layers, the thickness of each layer, the pouring rate, the vibration time frequency, the static time, etc.; then, cluster analysis is used to select several groups of representative candidate parameter schemes; finally, the pre-trained quality assessment model is used to compare the comprehensive performance of these schemes, and the optimal parameter combination is selected as the target pouring parameter. In this way, the requirements of each performance index are met, and the coordinated optimization of parameters is taken into account.

[0473] After analysis and comparison, Scheme 3 was selected as the final optimized casting parameters, which has the best overall performance and can meet various quality requirements.
[0474] 3. Construction process
[0475] 1. Continuous pouring
[0476] According to the determined pouring parameters, the large volume and high height concrete is poured continuously in 12 layers. The pouring height of each layer is 0.5 meters, the pouring rate is 1 meter / hour, and the current pouring layer is poured in place within a continuous time of 4 hours.
[0477] 2. Precise vibration
[0478] During and after pouring, the concrete was vibrated with a 30 kW vibrator at 50 Hz for 120 seconds. The frequency and time of vibration were determined based on the density model prediction to achieve a target density of more than 95%.
[0479] 3. Maintenance monitoring
[0480] After pouring is completed, measures such as sprinkling water and covering with wet curtains are taken for continuous maintenance according to environmental conditions. At the same time, temperature sensors and rebound testers are arranged in the pouring layer to monitor the strength development, shrinkage deformation and other indicators of concrete in real time. Once deviation from expectations is found, the maintenance measures are adjusted immediately.
[0481] Through the above-mentioned construction methods of continuous pouring, precise vibration and full-process monitoring, the final quality indicators of the large-volume and high-height concrete structure of this project have reached:
[0482] - Compressive strength: 44.5MPa, meeting the requirement of ≥40MPa;
[0483] - Shrinkage deformation: 480 microstrain, meeting the requirement of ≤500 microstrain;
[0484] - Surface cracking probability: 7%, meeting the requirement of ≤10%;
[0485] - Density: 96.2%, meeting the requirement of ≥95%;
[0486] - Uniformity: 94.3%, meeting the requirement of ≤5% coefficient of dispersion.
[0487] Compared with the traditional overall block method, the construction method of the present invention not only avoids the joint problem, but also significantly improves various performance indicators compared with conventional construction. In particular, the compressive strength and density are improved by 10% and 6% respectively compared with the traditional method. This fully demonstrates the significant advantages of the present method in improving the construction quality of large-volume and high-height concrete.
[0488] At the same time, during the construction process, through real-time monitoring and timely adjustments, not only did it ensure that various indicators were met, but it also further brought into play the excellent performance of concrete, greatly improving the safety and service life of the overall structure.
[0489] To sum up, the continuous concrete pouring construction method proposed in the present invention fully integrates a number of advanced technologies such as mathematical modeling, parameter optimization, and process control, and realizes the accurate prediction and effective control of key performance indicators of large-volume and large-height concrete.
