Structure Design and Mechanics Calculation of Aqueduct Model

Aqueduct is a conveyance structure which can across the channel, depressions, roads and railways and its conveyance water system is mainly composed of bridges, tunnels or ditch. Aqueduct is widely used in hydraulic engineering, and plays a role in irrigation ,water delivery , drainage and desilting. A large aqueduct can also be used for navigation. In the paper, based on the aqueduct design, aqueduct model making, aqueduct structure calculation and static load experiment, the whole process of design and calculation of continuous beam truss aqueduct model are performed, and the analysis of its mechanical properties are also carried on. These results are useful for the practical application of aqueduct structure.
