The Layout and Simulation of Logarithmic Spiral Double Curved Arch Dam Transverse Joints

Because of its good condition with mechanics,logarithmic spiral double curve arch bam has been widely used in the practical engineering.The introduction of a new method in how to divide transverse joint in arch dam will be given and the further research of its calculation has been done.The C++ is used in electronic procedure and the 3D simulation has been finished with AutoCAD,which will provide the object model for computer simulation of the arch dam and the division of finite element mesh.Meanwhile,this method in dividing the transverse joint in arch dam also can be taken as the calculated basis for the design and calculation of arch dam,construction lofting and the calculation of the work amount.
