STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF REINFORCEMENT ON THE EARTHQUAKE - RESISTANCE OF XIAOWAN ARCH DAM

Based on the design and its requirements of the seismic reinforcement measure of Xiaowan arch dam, this paper studied the effect of reinforcement on the seismic behaviors of high arch dam. The analysis includes several important problems on earthquake - resistance measure of Xiaowan arch dam such as com- parison of reinforcement alternatives, influence of temperature effect of concrete variation, location, place- ment, quantity and kind of the steel bar. The optimization of the reinforcement alternatives is also discussed in this paper.
