The Parameter Inversion and Stress Simulation Analysis for High RCC Gravity Dam in Construction
Before and after pouring the concrete for a dam, how to predict and obtain the accurate temperature and stress of the various parts of the dam, is the key to prevent cracks in concrete. The stresses calculated from the parameters of the laboratory under the ideal conditions have obvious difference with the value calculated from site measured strain. As for such problem, based on the measured temperature and strain data of rolled compact concrete gravity dam engineering, the thermal and mechanics parameters of the concrete materials are inversed. The dam stress of construction period is simulated and analyzed separately based on the site parameters and lab parameters. The results show that although the stress development law from different ways is near, their values are different obviously because of three aspects. The site measured values should be more real. So it is necessary to inverse the thermal and mechanics parameters according to the site measured data.
