Study on Temperature Field of Roller Compacted Concrete Gravity Dam during Construction

Hu Yong

Abstract

In this paper, Ansys software, a world wide popular common software used in finiteelement analysis, is suggested to simulate the temperature field of roller compacted concrete gravity dam during construction. According to a scheduled timetable of construction, temperature fields of a typical RCC gravity dam within construction period under several different construction conditions are calculated by simulating the layer constructing of the dam. The temperatures of placed RCC and air effect heavily on the temperature field of dam.
