From engineering perspective, conducting thermal analysis on dams is crucial for devising safety strategies to mitigate cracking. Traditionally, a variety of statistical methods have been utilized for examining dam temperatures. However, in this work, we have employed neutrosophic methods to carry out the thermal analysis. Neutrosophic statistics, which rely on interval data, extend the scope of interval analysis. We utilized temperature data spanning 24 hours, 7 days, 15 days, and one month for our analysis. This study integrates both conventional and neutrosophic methods to analyze the gathered temperature data, subsequently generating comparative graphs. Upon reviewing these graphs, it became apparent that the neutrosophic method surpassed the traditional approach in terms of reliability and effectiveness. Consequently, it can be concluded that the neutrosophic method offers a more informative, accurate, and reliable basis for decision-making in the context of dam safety analysis.
