Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis for Concrete Gravity Dam of Shachang Reservoir

Abstract:

Through analyzing concrete gravity dam structures mechanical characteristics in construction process and operating process, this paper adopts finite element method to carry out structural analysis for concrete gravity dam of Shachang reservoir. Deducing distribution law of the dams stress and displacement in construction process and operating process. Analysis results show that, concrete gravity dam of Shachang reservoir is reasonable, it meets the requirements for design. The analysis results provide a certain reference for design and construction of concrete gravity dam structure.
