Considering concrete thermodynamics parameters along with the change of age, we have simulated the concrete dam construction process and adopted the three dimensional finite element method to calculate the temperature field and thermal stress. The result showed that for the site of pouring in cold season, the method of natural warehousing watering should be 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 should be taken. In this way the maximum temperature and the maximum thermal stress could meet requirements of the design specifications. The research results laid an essential basis for the powerhouse dam section of Hydropower Station design, construction and temperature control. KEYWORDS: powerhouse dam section; temperature field; thermal stress; three-dimensional finite element method; construction process INTRODUCTION Mass concrete structures are widely used in water conservancy and hydropower projects, especially the construction of concrete dams. And the temperature control and temperature crack problem is perplexing the construction personnel for a long time. From 1930s to start [1], Many scholars established temperature crack control theory system, and has taken a series of measures of crack prevention, such as improving crack resistance of concrete, parting block, water pipe cooling, pre cooling aggregate, surface heat preservation, and so on. The temperature rise in the hydration heat of concrete can cause the temperature stress cracks in concrete, and then destroy the integrity of the structure, so that the durability of the concrete is decreased, and even endinger the safety of buildings. Therefore, need to take measures to solve the temperature control heat of water temperature inside concrete[2]. In this paper, the three-dimensional finite element method is used to simulate the construction process of the hydropower station. - 6731 - Vol. 21 [2016], Bund. 20 6732 CALCULATION PRINCIPLES According to the theory of heat conduction, the three-dimensional unsteady temperature field should satisfy the following partial differential equations and the corresponding initial conditions and boundary conditions [3,4]. Universal equation is: ∂T ∂ 2T ∂ 2T ∂ 2T ∂θ = α + + + (1) ( 2 2 2 ) ∂τ ∂x ∂y ∂z ∂τ where: ∂T —The change rate of temperature with time; ∂τ α —coefficient of temperature conductivity; θ —Adiabatic temperature rise of concrete. Initial condition is ( , , ) TT|τ =00= xyz (2) boundary conditions are: first class boundary conditions: T= Tb (3) third kinds of boundary conditions: ∂T ∂T ∂T l l + l l + l l + β (T − T ) = 0 (4) ∂x x ∂y y ∂z z a adiabatic boundary condition: ∂T l = 0 ∂n 5) where lx , ly , lz —the direction cosine of the boundary normal; Tb —given boundary conditions; Ta —temperature; T(xyz, , ) 0 —given initial temperature; l —coefficient of heat conductivity; β ——surface heat coefficient. Strain increment of concrete under complex stress state includes the increment of elastic strain, creep strain increment, temperature strain increment, dry shrinkage strain increment and autogenous volume deformation increment. So there is: ∆e = ∆e e + ∆e c + ∆e T + ∆e s + ∆e 0 n n n n n n (6) where: ∆e e n —elastic strain increment; Vol. 21 [2016], Bund. 20 6733 ∆e c n —creep strain increment; ∆e T n —temperature strain increment; ∆e s n —dry shrinkage strain increment; ∆e 0 n —autogenous volumetric strain increment .
