reinforced concrete penstock
1.The Strength and Deformation of Reinforced Concrete Penstock with Steel Lining Located on the Downstream Surface of Concrete Dam
2.In order to ascertain stress behavior of steel lined reinforced concrete pipe accurately, according to the fundamental principle of non-linear computation of reinforced concrete elements, the steel lined reinforced concrete penstock on downstream dam surface in a hydropower station is calculated and analyzed, and the distribution of circumferential stress of the steel lined reinforced concrete pipe is obtained, it proves that it is safe and reasonable to use structures of steel lined reinforced concrete penstock in hydroelectric station construction, and can satisfy the requirement of project.
3.Because concrete crack will greatly affect the security of concrete penstock in hydropower station, the paper applies the theory of global optimization method to predict the maximum concrete crack width in steel-lined reinforced concrete penstock and bring forward a predicting model based on the theory of artificial neural network (ANN).
