Nonlinear FEM Analysis of the Steel-Liner Reinforced Concrete Penstock Considering Softening Effect

Article Preview

Abstract:

In combination with the practice of a hydropower station steel-liner reinforced concrete penstock, the finite element model is established to analyze bearing characteristics of the penstock. In the paper, cracking behaviors of the surrounding concrete as well as stresses of the steel liner and reinforcement under normal water pressure are intensively studied based on the model test. The results can provide the basis for the safety operation of the steel-liner reinforced concrete penstock.
