Finite element thermal analysis of an RCC dam

  • C. Aggarwal, Stantec Inc, India
  • Vol. 33 - Issue 1, 2026

This paper presents a two-dimensional (2D) finite element thermal analysis of a roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam. The thermal analysis of the dam demonstrates that temperature control during construction is critical to minimizing thermal stresses and preventing cracks. The results serve as a basis for optimizing construction schedules, implementing temperature control strategies, and ensuring long-term structural integrity and durability of the dam.
