The durability of concrete is a critical operational parameter that directly determines the service life of concrete structures. Achieving a concrete mixture with specified rheological and strength properties is a vital technological stage, as the quality of the initial material governs the load-bearing capacity of the final reinforced concrete elements. In the technological process, the transformation of concrete mixture components into a liquid non-Newtonian system with distinct rheological characteristics, followed by solidification into a structured composition, depends significantly on the variability of physico-mechanical, thermophysical, and structural-mechanical properties of both individual components and the overall mixture.
Developing comprehensive mathematical models that describe the entire technological cycle—from production to placement—poses a multifactorial challenge aimed at ensuring the design durability of construction structures. Particular emphasis is placed on modeling heat and mass transfer processes within heterogeneous concrete systems, as these non-stationary external influences critically affect the operational characteristics of the final material. Transport and hardening parameters heavily influence structural transformations within the cement stone, ultimately impacting strength and deformation properties. Effective resolution of this problem necessitates modern numerical modeling techniques that incorporate the rheological behavior of concrete mixtures and hydration kinetics.
The proposed mathematical and algorithmic framework underpins efforts to minimize concrete structure degradation by simulating rheological parameters during transportation and placement. A principal achievement is the creation of heat and mass transfer analysis algorithms that integrate predictive models with real-time monitoring data, laying a methodological foundation for future technological process control systems. The solutions further include optimization of logistical parameters under varying temperature and humidity conditions and the establishment of criteria to assess the structural homogeneity of concrete mixtures.
