A Hybrid RBF-PSO Framework for Real-Time Temperature Field Prediction and Hydration Heat Parameter Inversion in Mass Concrete Structures by Shi Zheng, Lifen Lin, Wufeng Mao, Yanhong Wang, Jinsong Liu, Yili Yuan

“…Sensitivity analysis identified the ultimate adiabatic temperature rise as the dominant parameter (78% variance contribution), followed by synergistic interactions between hydration rate parameters, and indirect coupling effects of boundary correction coefficients. These findings guided a phased optimization strategy, as follows: prioritizing high-precision calibration of dominant parameters while relaxing constraints on low-sensitivity variables, thereby balancing accuracy and computational efficiency. …”
