Long-Term Thermal Stress Analysis and Optimization of Contraction Joint Distance of Concrete Gravity Dams

Long-Term Thermal Stress Analysis and Optimization of Contraction Joint Distance of Concrete Gravity Dams

Results of the conducted research aiming to demonstrate the methodology of optimization of dam monolith length (distance between contraction joints), through monitoring the thermal tensile stresses during construction and service life of a concrete gravity dam that is built using the block method, a...
