Research on the Civil Engineering and Architecture Based on Thermodynamics

Abstract:

With the constant improvement of the national economic level, the requirements on the building security are also increasing. The external temperature is a major factor leading to unsafe buildings. It is very necessary to research the civil engineering and architecture under the thermodynamic environment. The concrete will crack with the change of the temperature. According to this, the paper studies the reason and defensive measures of expansion caused by heat and contraction caused by cold based on thermodynamic principles. According to climatic characteristics, this article proposes the preservation and heat insulation of buildings, protection the buildings from icy frost damage and the ventilation of the buildings through the selection of building materials. It solves the cracking problem of the concrete very good with the change of the temperature. The research of this paper provides some reference for other research on the civil construction.
