Effect of MgO Admixture on Stress Characteristics of Concrete Plates Faced on Rockfill Dam during Construction

Article Preview

Abstract:

Concrete plate is mainly anti-seepage structure for rockfill dam and essential to avoid dam destruction. Cooling shrinkage will be effectively compensated by mix MgO, as a result, it have been widely used in hydraulic structure. However, with large radiating surface, uniform heat exchange and small bottom restriction, stress characteristic of concrete plates is much different from conventional massive concrete structure. Therefore, impact of MgO on stress characteristic of concrete plates is unclear. In view of this, construction process using MgO concrete and ordinary concrete are simulated based on practical project data. Conclusions indicate that tensile stress of concrete plates in cooling stage can be reduced by adding MgO.
