Mass concrete is prone to temperature cracks at an early age due to concentrated hydration heat, significant temperature gradients, and complex constraints, which affect structural durability and service safety. This paper reviews the relevant measures for preventing and controlling such temperature cracks, analyzing that the cracks are caused by the coupling effects of hydration heat, temperature gradients and stress distribution, material properties, environmental factors, and structural dimensions. It elaborates on two types of prevention and control measures: material optimization (low-heat cement, mineral admixtures, chemical admixtures, phase change materials, etc.) and construction process improvement (reasonable placement, cooling systems, external thermal insulation). Among these, phase change materials (PCMs) have become a research focus due to their active temperature regulation function of “peak shaving and valley filling”. This paper also introduces temperature, stress, and crack width monitoring technologies, as well as monitoring-based feedback control and intelligent systems. It summarizes the progress of numerical simulations in temperature field, stress field, and cracking prediction, with particular emphasis on their role in improving the understanding and prevention of early-age thermal cracking. The review further identifies shortcomings in multi-factor coupling mechanisms and integrated material–construction design, and proposes future research directions—such as low-heat-of-hydration binders, PCM optimization, and intelligent monitoring integration—to support more effective crack-control practices in mass concrete.

This study developed a design framework for porous mixtures using a 100% sustainable non-bituminous epoxy–polyurethane binder system. Conventional design protocols for porous asphalt mixtures exhibit limitations in accurately controlling void content and mixture composition. This study proposed a novel design framework for porous mixtures containing 100% sustainable binder based on statistical analysis and theoretical calculations. The relationships among target air voids, binder content, and aggregate gradation were systematically analyzed, and calculation formulas for coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and mineral filler contents were derived. A mix design framework was further established by applying the void-filling theory, where the combined volume of binder, fine aggregate, and filler equals the void volume of the coarse aggregate skeleton, thereby ensuring precise control of the target void ratio. Additionally, mixing procedures were investigated with emphasis on feeding sequence, compaction method, and mixing temperature. Results indicated that the optimized feeding sequence significantly improved binder distribution; specimens compacted using the Marshall double-sided compaction method achieved a density of 89.60%. Rheological analysis revealed that at 30 °C, the viscosities of sustainable binder and polyurethane filler were 1280 mPa·s and 6825 mPa·s, respectively, suggesting optimal mixture uniformity. The proposed methodology and process parameters provide essential technical guidance for engineering applications of porous mixtures containing 100% sustainable binder.
