Control the concrete temperature to reduce the temperature cracks is one of the main tasks in the concrete dam construction. Water cooling is the most effective temperature control measure of concrete dam. In connection with the concrete temperature field of cooled computational problems, according to the water and heat exchange between the concrete and cooling water pipes, The cooling pipe is considered as the effect source of heat, and the effect of the water cooling is considered on average meaning, and then the approximate temperature field can be obtained through the finite element.

The key problem of mass concrete temperature control is to effectively control the maximum temperature inside concrete, the temperature difference between inside and outside concrete, and the temperature difference between surface and environment. The size of the main tower cap of No. 3 Jinsha River Bridge is 37 m × 23.5 m × 5.5 m, and the cubic volume of concrete reaches 4782.3 m3, which is poured in two times. In order to ensure construction quality of mass concrete structure, prevent the large mass concrete temperature stress, through the numerical simulation of the temperature control and optimization scheme, by optimizing the mixture ratio design, reducing the temperature of concrete pouring into the mold, cooling water cycling, insulation keeping in good health and a series of measures to effectively achieve the control goal, and eliminating the temperature cracks. The measured data show that the maximum temperature inside concrete, the temperature difference between inside and outside, and the temperature difference between surface and environment are qualified, but the temperature difference control of cooling water inlet and outlet has hysteresis effect, and the temperature difference between inlet and outlet will be greater than 10°C, which should be noticed.

For a long time, temperature control and crack prevention of mass concrete is a difficult job in engineering. For temperature control and crack prevention, the most effective and common-used method is to embed cooling pipe in mass concrete. At present, there still exists some challenges in the precise simulation of pipe cooling in mass concrete, which is a complex heat-flow coupling problem. Numerical simulation is faced with the problem of over-simplification and inaccuracy. In this study, precise simulation of heat-flow coupling of pipe cooling in mass concrete is carried out based on finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4. Simulation results are comprehensively verified with results from theoretical solutions and equivalent algorithms, which prove the correctness and feasibility of precise simulation. Compared with an equivalent algorithm, precise simulation of pipe cooling in mass concrete can characterize the sharp temperature gradient around cooling pipe and the temperature rise of cooling water along pipeline more realistically. In addition, the cooling effects and local temperature gradient under different water flow (0.60 m3/h, 1.20 m3/h, and 1.80 m3/h) and water temperature (5 °C, 10 °C, and 15 °C) are comprehensively studied and related engineering suggestions are given.

Prototype observation of the concrete dam is an important and effective measure to master the operating condition of dams. Analysis of changes of concrete temperature for dams is the basis of studying the safety of dam operation. By analyzing the raw monitoring data of temperature of a RCC dam, this paper researches the changing process of concrete temperature and internal concrete partitions temperature variation of dams. It also draws the temperature field of the dam concrete. The results show that the isothermals of downstream side parallel with the surface of the downstream dam, and the isothermals of upstream side intersect with the dam. Isothermals which are near to the dam’s surface are close. This suggests that temperature gradient there is large. There is a high temperature nucleus and two low temperature nucleuses in the temperature field of the dam in summer, while in winter there is only one high temperature nucleus. So it suggests that the temperature field in summer is more complex.

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.
