Arch dam is a water retaining structure which has beautiful bodily form and reasonable structure form. In recent years, arch dam has been widely used. This paper adopts finite element method to carry out three-dimensional finite element simulation analysis for Xiuwen hydropower station, research variation law of the dam’s stress and displace in operational process. Research results show that, single curvature arch dam of Xiuwen hydropower station have reasonable structure, good mechanical properties, every index meets the requirements for design.

As the gate pier bracket of an arch dam are of complex structure which is characterized by use of high-grade concrete and more cement, higher adiabatic temperature rise, it is rather difficult to control temperature and vulnerable for cracking, and the cracks would absolutely affect the integrity, endurance and safety of pier gate bracket. It is necessary to take reasonable temperature control measures to reduce temperature stress during the construction and prevent cracking. This paper takes the gate pier bracket at the middle-hole dam section to perform simulation analysis of temperature field and stress field under different temperature control measures by 3D FEM. It proves that such measures as densifying water pipes, improving Phase I target cooling temperature appropriately, reducing Phase I cooling temperature falling variation and keeping insulation in low-temperature season can help reduce temperature stress and prevent cracking with good results.

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.

Due to complex structure, large scale, and cold climate, the temperature field and stress field during construction of BoYi Station is different with ordinary mass concrete. Therefore the corresponding crack prevention method must be explored. In order to simulate the complicated construction course, cold climate, multiple materials and unusual structure, a finite element program is adopted. In 5 numerical simulation cases, different temperature control methods are tried to decrease the tensile stress of mass concrete. Based on the simulation analysis and combined with the engineering experience, the scheme and indexes of temperature control and crack prevention are recommended. The mainly measures are controlling pouring temperature, insulation of concrete surface, pipe cooling, block partition and extra steel bar reinforcement. The values of temperature indexes are sharply lower than that of ordinary hydropower station mass concrete. The suggested measures and indexes in this paper, which are various with season, structure position and material, may provide some reference to similar large hydropower station workshop in cold area.
