Application of Digital Simulation Software ANSYS in Rolling Concrete Dams Construction Technology

Abstract:

Taking a large hydropower station in Xinjiang Autonomous Region as an example, and based on the limited unit method, the structure and seism forces features and response rules of rolling concrete gravity dam under different construction conditions were studied. The purpose for the paper is to understand dam working status under the different design conditions, and to evaluate anti-earthquake safety capability. It is proved that the present findings should play an important significance in the development of rolling concrete dam construction technology. Key words: Rolling Concrete Gravity Dams, Limited Unit Methods, Static Force Analysis, Dynamic Features.
