Abstract :
By employing three-dimensional finite element relocating mesh method to simulate the construction process of thin layer of RCC gravity dam, this paper carries out simulation calculation of temperature field and temperature creep stress of the whole processes of construction and operation of Baise RCC gravity dam. It also analyzes respective dam temperature stress distribution under conditions of pouring according to average temperature per 10 days and pouring according to designed temperature.
