Abstract:
Cracking in hydraulic buried engineering can cause localized damage or complete structural failure, potentially resulting in catastrophic project outcomes. Traditional methods for detecting cracks in hydraulic concrete buried engineering are often insufficient in terms of reliability and accuracy. With the development and application of particle-based technology, it has been widely used in the field of crack detection. This research investigates the support pier of the Yingxiuwan Hydropower Plant and the lock pier of the Yuzixi Hydropower Plant. Employing principles from quantum physics, quantum particle non-destructive detection technology is introduced to identify crack locations. A three-dimensional simulation model is constructed and verified accurately through integration with CT scanning techniques. The results demonstrate that particle detection technology effectively detects cracks in hydraulic concrete buried engineering, exhibiting minimal susceptibility to external interference. The particle detection data enable 3D visualization of cracks, accurately reflecting the conditions within embedded concrete components. This method provides a reliable and advanced technical solution for precise crack detection in concrete-embedded engineering and offers critical data for exploring crack propagation mechanisms.

Plastic shrinkage cracks typically form within hours after the concrete is poured. The concrete's surface dries faster than the bottom, creating tensile stress that the still-plastic concrete cannot withstand, leading to diagonal or randomly patterned cracks on the concrete surface.
