Temperature Control Simulation Study of Inverted Siphon in Construction

Abstract:

This paper using three-dimensional non-steady, nonlinear temperature field and creep stress field of simulation theory, establishes a FORTRAN program for simulating the temperature and stress during the construction of inverted siphon, analyzes the temperature and stress changes and distribution of siphon walls, and proposes the scientific and reasonable control measures of temperature and crack in a complex external environment. The results show that the wall tends to cracking due to tensile stress at early age within 1 day to 3 days, and insulation measures should be taken into account.
