FEM Simulation of Temperature and Thermal Stress of Xiaowan Arch Dam

Abstract:

Taking all the effects into account of thermal and mechanical properties, construction process, environment temperature, arch-closure and reservoir impounding orders, three dimension (3D) finite element methods(FEM) was adopted to simulate the whole construction process for temperature changing and thermal stress distribution of the dam. Typically, the results of the highest 22nd monolith were analyzed, from which the general law for both temperature field and thermal stress was acquired. And the results are valuable for temperature control of Xiaowan high arch dam.
