Cracking and failure of hydroelectric engineering structures due to thermal loads
Many hydraulic structures exhibit significant cracking, which allows water intrusion into or through the structures. These cracks are the result of a variety of phenomena, including thermal gradient, ice loading, restrained concrete shrinkage and cycles of freezing and thawing. Conventional repair...
