Theory of Temperature Dynamic Control in Arch Dams and its Application

Abstract:

Main factors of the temperature control and crack prevention in arch dams are summarized. The Space-time Dynamic Control method in pipe cooling process and the Temperature Real-time Control and Decision Database System are introduced to help for temperature real-time control and rapid analysis. Successful application of these new techniques in the construction of Dagangshan arch dam indicates that the proposed method are of significant effectiveness on the temperature control and crack prevention, and have good application prospect in practical project.
