Finite Element Simulation Analysis of Concrete Hyperbolic Arch Dam

Abstract:

Arch dam is a water retaining structure which has beautiful bodily form and reasonable structure form, in recent years, arch dam has been widely used. This paper adopts finite element method to carry out three-dimensional finite element simulation analysis for Haierwa reservoir concrete hyperbolic arch dam, researching variation law of the dams stress and displacement in operating process. Research results show that, Haierwa reservoir concrete hyperbolic arch dam is reasonable structure, good mechanical performance, every index meets the requirements for design.
