Title: Impact Assessment of Reinforcements across Transverse Joints for Xiaowan Arch Dam to Resist Strong Earthquake
Abstract: With the help of a new numerical model for reinforced joint considering the bond and slip between reinforcements and surrounding dam concrete, authors conducted 3D FEM nonlinear analysis for Xiaowan arch dam under design load in case of earthquake, and analyzed the effects of different bond quality between reinforcements and dam concrete, different diameter of reinforcements on controlling the transverse joint opening. The results provide helpful sggestion for the application of the joint opening controlling measure.
