Abstract：For concrete gravity dams,the stable temperature field within the dam body is a key basis for evaluating thermal stress and crack resistance performance.Based on a specific gravity dam project,a three-dimensional heat conduction model was established using ANSYS software to simulate the stable temperature field of the dam.The analysis comprehensively considered factors including reservoir water temperature distribution,ambient air temperature variations,and concrete thermodynamic parameters.A study on the calculation method for the stable temperature field of the water-retaining dam was conducted based on the finite element method,focusing on analyzing the influence of boundary conditions on temperature distribution.Accordingly,reasonable temperature control measures were proposed.The internal stable temperature field of the water-retaining dam was calculated,and stable temperature field cloud maps,temperature curves,and temperature gradient curves were extracted.These results revealed the temperature conditions in different regions of the dam body.The calculation results provide a more precise theoretical basis and practical technical guidance for the temperature control design of high concrete dams.
