Abstract:

The issue of temperature control for mass concrete in modern canal construction is inevitable, influencing the construction quality and service life of mass concrete structures. In the context of the new era of artificial intelligence, the development of mass concrete temperature control technology is facing opportunities and challenges in transitioning from traditional construction measures to intelligent control technologies. To solve the cracking problem caused by the heat of hydration in mass concrete and promote the intelligence of temperature control technology for mass concrete, this paper systematically analyzes the current state of development of mass concrete temperature control technology, incorporating research findings from construction measures, material selection, and intelligent temperature control. It summarizes the challenges faced by mass concrete temperature control technology and points out the need to strengthen the deep integration of construction measures, material selection, and intelligent temperature control technologies. Additionally, it emphasizes the acceleration of the development of intelligent monitoring and prediction, as well as interconnectivity technologies for mass concrete.

Key words: mass concrete, temperature control, crack prevention, modern canal, low carbon
