Research on Temperature Effects and Crack Control of the Alternative Bay Method of Ultra-Long Structural Floors

To address the problems of easy cracking and the difficulty in balancing construction schedule and structural quality in the construction of ultra-long concrete slabs, this paper takes the ultra-long floor slab project of an inpatient building in the Science City Campus of Chongqing University Cancer Hospital as the research object, and conducts research on temperature and crack control in the construction of the alternative bay method. The key structural mechanical parameters are determined through theoretical calculation. The temperature and deformation changes during the whole process of concrete pouring are tracked by combining on-site monitoring and finite element simulation, and the effects of different construction parameters are compared and analyzed. The results show that when the alternative bay method is adopted, the overall temperature distribution of the floor slab is uniform, and there are obvious differences in deformation at different positions. The center of the first-poured slab has smaller deformation, the beam side has larger deformation, the later-poured slab has larger overall deformation, and tensile deformation occurs on both sides of the construction joint. Reasonably dividing the pouring blocks, optimizing the pouring sequence and extending the pouring interval can significantly reduce the tensile deformation of concrete and alleviate stress concentration. This study confirms that the alternative bay method can effectively reduce the risk of temperature-induced cracking in ultra-long floor slabs and provide technical reference for seamless construction of similar above-ground structures.

Abstract

To address the problems of easy cracking and the difficulty in balancing construction schedule and structural quality in the construction of ultra-long concrete slabs, this paper takes the ultra-long floor slab project of an inpatient building in the Science City Campus of Chongqing University Cancer Hospital as the research object, and conducts research on temperature and crack control in the construction of the alternative bay method. The key structural mechanical parameters are determined through theoretical calculation. The temperature and deformation changes during the whole process of concrete pouring are tracked by combining on-site monitoring and finite element simulation, and the effects of different construction parameters are compared and analyzed. The results show that when the alternative bay method is adopted, the overall temperature distribution of the floor slab is uniform, and there are obvious differences in deformation at different positions. The center of the first-poured slab has smaller deformation, the beam side has larger deformation, the later-poured slab has larger overall deformation, and tensile deformation occurs on both sides of the construction joint. Reasonably dividing the pouring blocks, optimizing the pouring sequence and extending the pouring interval can significantly reduce the tensile deformation of concrete and alleviate stress concentration. This study confirms that the alternative bay method can effectively reduce the risk of temperature-induced cracking in ultra-long floor slabs and provide technical reference for seamless construction of similar above-ground structures.
