Study on Mechanism of Crack on Upstream Surface of Super-High Arch Dam

Article Preview

Abstract:

A kind of crack with similar characteristics has been discovered on the upstream surface of super-high arch dam. In this paper, the reason of cracking was analyzed by the three-dimensional finite element method. It is found that the stress concentration of concrete near the water-stop structure led to the concrete initial cracking in the process of transverse joint open.
