A New Method for Improving the Stress Status of the Dam

Under the action of annual change and sudden drop of air temperature, thermal induced cracking will occur in concrete dam during the operation period. For exploring the temperature control measures for crack prevention, taking a concrete gravity dam section as the research object, sensitivity analyses to the factors which affecting the water-cooling effect are conducted with 3D FEM, some significant suggestions for the water cooling are presented. The results show that, the stresses of the dam surface will decrease to a certain extent after water cooling in the operation period using the cooling water pipe which embedded during construction period, and the cracking risk of the dam will reduce. The study provides a new train of thought for the temperature control and crack prevention of the mass concrete during the operation period.
