Improving Arch Action in Arch Dams
In this paper the reasons for arch (rib) shortening, and the resulting opening up of the contraction joints on unloaded arch dams, are first discussed. Crown deflections, plotted from measurements taken during a series of years on an arch dam, are given and discussed. The deflection curves indicate very plainly the great influence of temperature changes on the deformation of arch dams, and therefore, also, on the stresses in the building material (concrete) used.
