The Numerical Analysis of Gradient Material Replacement on Arch Dam of Stress Concentration Area

Article Preview

Abstract:

During operation, due to change of outside temperature, edge of abutment and central part of concrete arch dam is prone to stress concentration, Concrete of tensile stress concentration area appears too large tensile stress easily, which results cracks to affect dam safety. This paper, by changing the material properties, that obtained high strength low elastic modulus of concrete, replaced arch rings with gradient material replacement method, to improve the stress state of dam and enhance strength for dam safety. By comparing the temperature rise with drop of the arch stress distribution area, the relationship of changing elastic modulus and stress has got. Using the VT technology acquire critical values of mutation elastic modulus.
