Certain Question Research on Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of High Arch Dam

Article Preview

Abstract:

The nonlinear finite element can precisely simulate practical work condition of arch dam, but also has some problems in the safety evaluation of high arch dam, mainly in different mesh size, different strength criteria and constitutive relations of dam corresponding to different results. This article first proposes determining method for reasonable mesh size describes three strength criterions of uniaxial, biaxial, triaxial, gives two constitutive relations of dam cracking, damage. Take a high arch dam as an example, has done some research on the above question, obtain some beneficial conclusions.
