Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of concrete pouring construction, and in particular relates to a concrete pouring method for reducing the generation of cracks. Background Art
[0002] Concrete is one of the most widely used materials in today's construction projects. It is widely used in various types of civil, industrial and infrastructure buildings. As a porous and heterogeneous composite material, concrete is prone to various shrinkage stresses during pouring and curing, leading to the appearance of structural cracks, which seriously threatens the quality and safety of buildings. Therefore, how to effectively control the generation of cracks during concrete pouring has always been a key issue of concern in the industry.
[0003] The existing concrete crack control technologies mainly include the following:
[0004] 1. Contraction joint setting technology. By setting the contraction joint in advance, the cracks are guided to occur along the preset position, thereby avoiding random cracks in the stress-bearing parts of the structure. This technology is the most common crack control method, but the determination of the contraction joint position and spacing is still highly subjective and cannot adapt well to different structures and environmental conditions.
[0005] 2. Expansive agent addition technology. Add expansive chemical additives to concrete and use the expansion stress generated during the hydration process to offset the shrinkage stress, thereby reducing the occurrence of cracks. This technology is simple and easy to implement, but the type of expansive agent, the amount of addition, and the distribution location require a lot of experimental verification, and it is not very targeted.
[0006] 3. Layered pouring technology. By rationally arranging the order of layered pouring of concrete and the time interval between each layer, it helps to reduce the stress gradient inside the structure and reduce local stress concentration. However, how to determine the best pouring process parameters still depends on engineering experience.
[0007] In general, existing crack control technologies mostly rely on engineering experience and a large number of experimental verifications, and are difficult to adapt to the crack control needs under different engineering conditions. Summary of the invention

[0313] 2) According to the preferred contraction joint arrangement scheme calculated in step S30, during the concrete pouring process, contraction joints are arranged at the determined positions and intervals. The arrangement of contraction joints can effectively guide and control the generation of cracks.
[0314] 3) At the same time, intelligent vibrating equipment is used to compact the concrete. The intelligent vibrating equipment has a real-time density monitoring function and can automatically adjust the vibration frequency and time according to the feedback signal during the vibration process to achieve the best compaction effect.

[0316] Step S80: Curing the completed concrete.
[0317] The purpose of this step is to take appropriate curing measures to further reduce the temperature stress and drying shrinkage stress of concrete in the early stage, thereby reducing the risk of cracks. It includes the following sub-steps:
[0318] 1) Formulate a suitable curing plan based on the curing condition parameters collected in step S10, such as temperature, humidity, etc. In general, it is necessary to take measures such as insulation and watering to maintain good temperature and humidity conditions for concrete in the early stages.
[0319] 2) Determine the appropriate curing duration based on the actual conditions of the concrete structure. Generally speaking, large-volume concrete structures require a longer curing period to reduce the generation of temperature stress and drying shrinkage stress.
[0320] 3) During the maintenance process, regular inspections and timely remedial measures are required to ensure the maintenance effect. If local dryness is found, watering and other measures should be taken in time.
[0321] Through this step of maintenance measures, the stress accumulation of concrete structures in the early stages can be effectively reduced, thereby further reducing the risk of cracks.
[0322] In summary, this concrete pouring method that reduces cracks can effectively reduce the occurrence of cracks during concrete pouring by accurately calculating the distribution of concrete shrinkage stress and taking targeted process optimization measures, such as setting reasonable shrinkage joints, adding expansion agents, and layered pouring. This method makes full use of artificial intelligence technology, makes intelligent optimization in the layout of shrinkage joints and the use of expansion agents, and greatly improves the accuracy of crack control.

These equations cover the key factors affecting concrete shrinkage, such as environmental conditions, structural parameters, mix characteristics and curing process. By fitting these equations, the stress distribution of each part in the concrete structure can be accurately predicted, providing a reliable mathematical basis for subsequent process optimization.
[0325] Secondly, in step S20, by numerically calculating the above stress equations, the stress distribution at each time point and each position in the concrete structure is obtained. The purpose of this step is to fully grasp the temporal and spatial characteristics of the internal stress of the structure and lay the foundation for subsequent intelligent optimization. In particular, the maximum value of stress and its location and time of occurrence are determined. These key information provide a basis for the layout of shrinkage joints and the use of expansion agents.
[0326] In steps S30 and S40, intelligent optimization algorithms based on neural networks are used to provide optimal solutions for shrinkage joint arrangement and expansion agent use. These algorithms can make full use of the stress distribution information obtained in step S20, learn the inherent laws between stress distribution and crack control measures, and automatically provide highly targeted and operable optimization results. This optimization method based on artificial intelligence greatly improves the accuracy and operability of crack control, and makes up for the shortcomings of existing empirical methods.
[0327] Finally, in steps S50, S60 and S70, the concrete pouring and curing process is further optimized by combining traditional process technologies such as layered pouring, intelligent vibration and efficient mixing. The purpose of layered pouring is to reduce the stress gradient inside the structure and promote the uniform distribution of stress; intelligent vibration and efficient mixing ensure the optimal density of concrete and the uniform dispersion of expansion agent, providing strong support for the aforementioned crack control measures. These process optimization methods are combined with the aforementioned mathematical modeling and intelligent algorithms to form a systematic crack control system.

[0423] In order to further better understand and implement the present invention, the following is a specific application scenario of the present invention, Example 2: A large shopping center construction project is located in the central area of the city, with a total construction area of about 30,000 square meters, including 6 floors above ground and 2 floors underground. The building adopts a reinforced concrete frame structure, and the concrete strength grade is C35. Due to the nature of the use of the shopping center, the appearance quality of the building is required to be high. Therefore, how to effectively control the generation of cracks during the concrete pouring process has become a major technical difficulty of the project.
[0424] According to the concrete pouring method of the present invention, the construction party has taken the following specific measures:
[0425] Step S10: Collect construction environment parameters, concrete structure parameters, concrete parameters, mix ratio parameters, and curing condition parameters, and establish a shrinkage stress equation group.

The ambient temperature fluctuated between 20 and 30°C, the relative humidity varied between 60% and 80%, and the wind speed was in the range of 2 to 5 m / s.
[0427] 2) Structural parameter collection: According to the design drawings of the building, the following structural parameters were collected: the height of the 6-story building is 24m, the depth of the 2-story underground is 8m, the total construction area is 30,000 square meters, the cross-sectional dimensions of the main load-bearing components are 800mm×800mm for columns and 600mm×400mm for beams.

[0445] - Addition amount: 3% of concrete weight
[0446] - Distribution location: A 50mm thick special expansion concrete layer is set at the bottom and top of the main structure.
[0447] 3) The expansion agent usage scheme can effectively offset the shrinkage stress inside the structure, especially in the bottom and top areas where the stress is concentrated, thereby significantly reducing the risk of cracks.
[0448] Step S50: Determine the process parameters for layered casting according to the stress distribution characteristics.
[0449] 1) According to the stress analysis results of step S20, the stress distribution of the building is relatively concentrated, mainly concentrated at a position about 3 meters above the ground. At the same time, the stress difference between adjacent layers is large, and there is a more obvious stress gradient.
[0450] 2) In order to reduce the stress gradient, the construction party adopted a layered pouring method. After optimization, the following layered pouring scheme was determined: - The bottom 3 meters uses a 100mm thick casting layer
[0451] - 3m~12m use 200mm thick casting layer - For heights above 12 meters, a 150mm thick casting layer is used
[0452] - The interval between pouring each layer is 2 days
[0453] 3) This layered casting scheme can effectively reduce the stress difference between adjacent layers and promote the uniform distribution of stress in the entire structure, thereby reducing the risk of local stress concentration.
[0454] Step S60: During the concrete mixing process, an expansion agent is added according to the calculation results, and a high-efficiency mixing technology is used.
[0455] 1) During the concrete mixing process, according to the result of step S40, 3% of expansive mineral admixture is added to the mixture.
[0456] 2) To ensure that the expansive agent is fully dispersed and evenly distributed in the concrete, the construction party adopted a method combining a high shear mixer and sonic wave assisted mixing technology. The speed of the high shear mixer is controlled at 40r / min, and the power is about 15kW, which can generate strong shear force, which is conducive to destroying the agglomeration of the expansive agent. At the same time, the vibration energy of the concrete is increased by sonic wave vibration equipment (frequency 40Hz, amplitude 0.5mm), which further promotes the dispersion of the expansive agent.
[0457] 3) After 10 minutes of efficient mixing, the expansive agent achieved an ideal dispersion effect in the concrete, laying the foundation for subsequent crack control.
[0458] Step S70: pour concrete according to the optimized layered pouring plan, set shrinkage joints, and use intelligent vibrating equipment.
[0459] 1) According to the layered pouring scheme determined in step S50, pour concrete in each layer in order. First, pour a 100 mm thick layer at the bottom 3 meters, then pour a 200 mm thick layer from 3 meters to 12 meters after an interval of 2 days, and then pour a 150 mm thick layer above 12 meters after an interval of 2 days.
[0460] 2) During the concrete pouring process, according to the contraction joint arrangement scheme determined in step S30, 18 contraction joints are arranged in the longitudinal and transverse directions with a spacing of about 8 meters to guide the cracks to form along the preset positions.
[0461] 3) At the same time, the construction party used intelligent vibrating equipment with real-time density monitoring function to compact the concrete. The vibrating equipment can automatically adjust the vibration frequency and time according to the feedback signal during the vibration process to ensure that each layer of concrete reaches the ideal density, providing guarantee for subsequent crack control.
[0462] Step S80: Curing the poured concrete.
[0463] 1) Based on the maintenance condition parameters collected in step S10, the construction party formulated the following maintenance measures:
[0464] - Temperature controlled at 20±2℃
[0465] - Relative humidity should be kept above 80%
[0466] - Use wet film curing, the duration is not less than 14 days
[0467] 2) During the curing process, regular inspections and timely watering were carried out to ensure that the concrete surface remained moist and prevent local drying. At the same time, the curing time of concrete was appropriately extended to effectively reduce the generation of early temperature stress and drying shrinkage stress.
[0468] By taking the above measures, the large shopping mall building basically had no crack problems during the concrete pouring process. After the construction was completed, a one-year follow-up monitoring was carried out, and the structural appearance quality was good, and no obvious crack defects were found.
[0469] In general, the concrete pouring method adopted in this embodiment 2 makes full use of mathematical modeling and artificial intelligence technology, and systematically optimizes key links such as shrinkage joint arrangement, expansion agent use, and layered pouring. Compared with the traditional empirical method, this method can more accurately analyze the shrinkage stress distribution of concrete and provide crack control measures with strong pertinence and good operability. At the same time, this embodiment also incorporates advanced intelligent vibration and efficient mixing technology to ensure the effective implementation of various optimization measures in actual construction. Through these comprehensive means, the large shopping center building basically did not have crack problems during the concrete pouring process, which fully demonstrated the effectiveness and practicality of the method of the present invention.
[0470] The above description is only a specific implementation mode of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
