Abstract:It is well known that research on mechanical characteristics of the underground draft tube and corresponding stress distribution of the steel lining under complex conditions plays an important role on assessing the underground powerhouse and hydropower project safety. However, due to complex boundaries and load conditions of the draft tube, especially the concrete itself is so easy to crack, crush and become plastic that it is more difficult to determine its 3-Dimensional mechanical behavior of the underground… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
