Abstract

Considering the design and layout features of Taishan RCC gravity dam, the concrete dam construction process was simulated and the three-dimensional finite element method was used to calculate the temperature field. The results showed that for the site of pouring in low temperature season, the method of natural warehousing watering was taken; whereas for the site of pouring in hot season, the method of control pouring temperature and the water cooling measures of the entire region were taken. In this way the maximum temperature could meet requirements of the design specifications of RCC gravity dam. The research results laid an essential basis for the RCC dam design and construction.
