Popis: Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) Structures often face challenges with debonding during construction, which can markedly compromise the structural integrity. The hydration of concrete can generate significant heat during construction, making the infrared thermography as a potential method for the defect detection. However, effects of concrete hydration behavior, debonding size, and environmental factors on the infrared thermal imaging of CFST debonding remains unclear. This study conducted experiments using four different hydration heating rates and three debonding sizes to simulate debonding detection using infrared imaging during the hydration phase of CFST. The feasibility of the simulation approach was validated through pair-to-pair comparison, and multiple linear regression analysis was employed to evaluate the impact of these factors. The findings highlight that absolute temperature difference has the most significant impact on detection effectiveness regardless of interaction effects. In regression models without interaction, heating rate demonstrated the least impact, Whereas the model considering the interaction showed that the interaction effect of heating rate and debonding size showed a secondary effect. Further examination indicated that interaction effects decrease as heating rate and debonding size decrease.
