Abstract EN
The measured temperature of a concrete pouring block depends strongly on the position of the buried thermometer.
Only when the temperature measured by the thermometer accurately reflects the actual temperature of the concrete pouring block do reasonable temperature-control measures become possible.
However, little research has been done on how to determine the proper position of thermometers buried in a concrete pouring block embedded with cooling pipes.
To address this situation, we develop herein a method to determine the position of thermometers buried in a concrete pouring block.
First, we assume that the design temperature-control process line characterizes the average-temperature history of the concrete pouring block.
Under this assumption, we calculate the average-temperature history of the concrete pouring block by using the water-pipe-cooling FEM, following which the temperature history of an arbitrary point in the concrete pouring block is obtained by interpolating the shape function.
Based on the average-temperature history of the concrete pouring block and the temperature history of the arbitrary point, we build a mathematical model to optimize the buried position of the thermometer and use the optimization algorithm to determine this position.
By using this method, we establish finite-element models of concrete prisms with four typical water-pipe spacing cases for concrete-dam engineering and obtain the geometric position of the thermometers by using the optimization algorithm.
By burying thermometers at these positions, the measured temperature should better characterize the average-temperature history of the concrete pouring block, which can provide useful information for regulating the temperature of concrete pouring blocks.
