[0002] As an indispensable basic material in modern engineering construction, concrete plays a crucial role in quality control and temperature control management during the construction process. With the increasingly strict construction requirements, how to improve the quality of concrete pouring, especially to avoid temperature-induced structural problems through precise temperature control, has become the core topic of current research and application. However, existing temperature control technologies face many challenges in practical applications. First of all, the acquisition of temperature control information often has problems of lag and inaccuracy, which leads to phenomena such as excessive temperature difference, too fast cooling rate and cooling amplitude, and uneven temperature gradient, and may ultimately cause concrete cracks. Secondly, the deviation of operators during the construction process is also an important factor leading to the failure of temperature control, resulting in limitations in temperature control.

[0003] Currently, many units have developed temperature control systems that automatically control the opening and closing of water-cooled pipes, and some systems can monitor the hydration heat of concrete. However, existing technologies still have deficiencies, especially in the experimental research on the mechanism of hydration heat. In the face of the adoption of new admixtures, existing systems are difficult to accurately predict the temperature development of concrete hydration heat. Most systems can still only provide passive control methods and are difficult to achieve active optimization of temperature control. In addition, the data monitoring and display methods are too single, and the deep integration of virtual and actual spaces cannot be fully realized, and accurate decision-making cannot be effectively supported.

In addition, the real-time data is compared with the prediction results of the dynamic prediction model constructed in step S4 in real time, and the prediction model is corrected according to the real-time data, so that the temperature and temperature stress distribution states of the virtual model in the digital twin platform and the physical model of the actual concrete pouring are consistent. The so-called dynamic correction means adjusting and optimizing the digital model by comparing the real-time collected data with the prediction model to make it more accurately reflect the actual situation of concrete hydration heat. Through this correction process, the adaptive control of the physical model is realized to ensure the accuracy and stability of concrete temperature control.

[0118] S6. Dynamically control the parameters of the cooling water pipes to accurately adjust the concrete temperature.

[0119] S61. According to the monitoring and dynamic prediction results of the digital twin platform, combined with the measured data (concrete temperature, stress, temperature rise and fall rate, inside-outside temperature difference, maximum temperature difference, ambient temperature, inlet temperature, etc.), conduct comprehensive calculation and analysis. Through multi-parameter evaluation, comprehensively master the temperature change law during the hydration heat process to provide a basis for the optimization of subsequent control strategies.

[0120] S62. Adopt the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) optimization control method to dynamically adjust control parameters such as the water flow rate, water flow direction, water temperature, and pouring process parameters of the cooling water pipes according to the calculation and analysis results. Achieve precise control of the hydration heat of concrete, including: dynamically adjusting the flow rate, flow velocity, and water temperature of the cooling water to meet the temperature control requirements at different stages; optimizing the thickness and layout of the thermal insulation materials according to the prediction results; adjusting the pouring speed or sequence when necessary to ensure uniform temperature distribution. This optimization process will maximize the reduction of the temperature rise rate, ensure an appropriate cooling rate, and balance the temperature difference between the inside and the surface of the concrete to improve the temperature control accuracy. Through precise control, minimize the risk of temperature cracks and ensure the quality and long-term stability of the concrete structure.

[0121] Through the above steps, an adaptive and dynamically adjustable control system is formed, which can effectively respond to the temperature control requirements at different stages and achieve temperature control and stress optimization during the hydration heat process of concrete through fine adjustment.

[0122] In some embodiments, the method further includes measuring and analyzing the thermal physical property parameters of concrete at typical construction sites to effectively make up for the difference between the reference values in the current specifications and the actual situation. Select typical construction sites such as plain areas, plateaus, alpine regions, and coastal areas as the research objects to ensure that the popularization and application of this system can build a good experimental and theoretical foundation, and then improve its adaptability and practicability in different construction environments.

[0123] In some embodiments, in step S13, the embodiment of the present application adopts an integrated learning technique to optimize the finite element hydration heat analysis model. Most of the existing model correction methods are deterministic methods, which do not fully consider the uncertainty of structural parameters and responses, resulting in insufficient accuracy in actual engineering applications. In view of the widespread uncertainty during the concrete pouring process, especially in terms of structural parameters and responses, the finite element model correction method based on the meta-model and the base model selector can select the most suitable model through multi-model comparison for the numerical simulation analysis of hydration heat.

[0124] The specific process is as follows: First, organize and preprocess data such as construction environment conditions, concrete mix ratios, physical parameters and layout parameters of the cooling water pipes, and concrete physical parameters to ensure the accuracy of modeling. Then, input environmental parameters, material parameters, boundary conditions, etc. into the finite element software to obtain multiple base models. Optimize these base models through an integrated learning technique to form a meta-model and select the best model configuration. Finally, set the simulation parameters and run the simulation to predict the changing trends of the temperature and temperature stress of the hydration heat to evaluate the efficiency of the cooling system.

[0125] In some embodiments, in step S21, the embodiments of the present application use a composite convolutional neural network to predict the layout of the cooling water pipes. An optimization function is constructed to perform sequential iterative single-objective optimization for maximizing the cooling effect and minimizing the cost. First, taking maximizing the cooling effect as the optimization objective and the temperature peak and gradient as constraints, single-objective optimization is carried out to obtain an optimized layout of the cooling water pipes; then, on the premise of satisfying the local optimal solution of the cooling effect, taking minimizing the layout result as the optimization objective, the best number combination of the number of cooling water pipes or sensors is obtained while ensuring the monitoring accuracy.

[0126] By collecting parameters such as the layout density, length, and radial distribution of the water pipes, and combining the relevant data generated by simulation (such as the temperature distribution, cooling effect, and cost corresponding to different water pipe layouts), the water pipe layout parameters are used as the input of the neural network, and the corresponding cooling effect and cost are output.

[0127] By training the neural network, the network can learn the relationship between the water pipe layout and the cooling effect and cost. Finally, according to specific engineering requirements, the network structure or optimization algorithm parameters are adjusted to adapt to different engineering conditions and objectives, and finally the optimal solution between the cooling effect and cost is obtained. The multi-objective optimization method based on the composite convolutional neural network can not only achieve the best balance between cost and effect, but also flexibly cope with complex environments and provide an efficient and reliable optimization scheme.

[0128] In some embodiments, in step S21, the optimization of the number of sensors uses the network structure of the Primary and Secondary Convolutional Neural Networks (PasNet). The input features of the network include data such as ambient temperature, humidity, and concrete mix ratio. Through preprocessing (such as normalization), the data is split into a training set and a test set for the training and verification of the neural network.

[0129] The "primary" path in the network structure is dedicated to processing key features (such as temperature changes), while the "secondary" path processes auxiliary features (such as humidity or concrete mix ratio changes). Through convolutional operations, the network can extract and fuse these features, enhancing the learning ability for complex patterns in the data. Through model analysis, the sensor positions that have the greatest impact on the prediction results are identified, and the number and positions of the sensors are optimized accordingly, thereby improving the efficiency and economy of the monitoring system.

[0130] Finally, through training and verification, the network parameters (such as the learning rate and the size of the convolutional kernel) are adjusted to optimize the prediction accuracy of the model, ensuring the efficiency and reliability of the network during the optimization process of the number of sensors.

[0131] In some embodiments, in step S42, the embodiments of the present application introduce a cross global artificial bee colony algorithm to optimize the key parameters of the hydration heat model. This algorithm uses concrete temperature data, simulation data, and the numerical simulation data in step S1 as input features. Through the crossover operation, the population diversity is enhanced to avoid local optima, thereby improving the prediction accuracy of the model.

[0132] The optimized parameters will be used to run the hydration heat analysis model to simulate the effects of different environmental conditions and concrete ratios on the temperature drop process and temperature stress. According to the model analysis results, precise temperature control standards will be formulated, including the control of the basic temperature difference, the interlayer temperature difference, and the surface - interior temperature difference, to prevent the occurrence of structural problems such as concrete cracks. Through further data analysis, the ideal temperature drop curve will be determined, and measures such as adjusting the pouring time, modifying the ratio, or adopting specific cooling technologies will be proposed to ensure the project quality and reduce the environmental and economic costs.

[0133] In some embodiments, in step S43, a BP neural network is used for in - depth learning and short - term prediction. The BP neural network contains multiple hidden layers, and each layer can learn different abstraction levels of data, thus gradually constructing complex data representations. Especially in the prediction of concrete hydration heat, the deep learning network can outperform traditional statistical or machine learning methods and accurately predict the change trend of hydration temperature.

[0134] By collecting the concrete temperature change curve and combining simulation data, numerical simulation (physical model), and real - time data, a physical - data dual - driven dynamic prediction model is constructed using deep learning algorithms. Through a hierarchical feature extraction mechanism, this model automatically learns the advanced features of thermodynamics and chemical reactions during the concrete hydration process, accurately predicts the temperature change in real time, and serves as an important basis for issuing instructions in the automated control system, thereby realizing the transformation from passive control to active control.

[0135] In some embodiments, in step S5, the constructed digital twin platform is based on big data, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and digital twin technology to build a virtual concrete digital twin platform that mimics the real situation. This platform uses simulation analysis data and a composite convolutional neural network to adjust the optimal layout of sensors and cooling water pipes in real time, and at the same time realizes functions such as intelligent diagnosis, control, and disposal of the operation of equipment and facilities. This digital twin platform can comprehensively monitor the construction process of mass concrete, provide monitoring, supervision, and intelligent decision - making support throughout the life cycle, and ensure the construction quality and project safety.

[0136] In some embodiments, in step S6, a temperature control solution is automatically generated by combining the monitoring and dynamic prediction results of the digital twin platform. Through the Latin Hypercube Sampling method (LHS), a temperature control sample database is constructed based on the real-time data of concrete mix proportions and hydration heat under different conditions, and a surrogate model is constructed to automatically generate the layout plan of cooling water pipes, the layout plan of sensors, and the water flow velocity control plan.

[0137] Combined with application cases under different environmental conditions, the model can provide a refined temperature control design solution and output the corresponding design diagrams, further optimizing the concrete temperature control effect and ensuring the temperature control accuracy and safety during the construction process.

[0138] Based on digital twin technology, the embodiments of this application perform adaptive control on the temperature control of the physical model through a virtual model, realizing the fusion and interaction between the virtual space and the physical space and among the various elements of concrete temperature control, promoting the implementation of advanced intelligent temperature control, directly serving the temperature control and crack prevention of concrete, and transforming the traditional passive management mode that relies on the subjective judgment and behavior of "people" for temperature control into an active management mode based on data mapping of digital twin technology to prevent the generation of temperature cracks. It enables all-weather and refined online monitoring and early warning during the concrete design and construction process, timely discovers and responds to temperature anomalies, and improves the informatization level of concrete curing work.
