Bofang, Z and Jianbo, C (1989) Finite element analysis of effect of pipe cooling in concrete dams. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 115(4), pp. 487-498. ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
Pipe cooling is now widely adopted to control the temperature of concrete, dams. There is no suitable method to compute the effect of simultaneous cooling of the embedded pipe and the lift surface of concrete. In this paper, the finite element method is used for calculation. This is a complicated three-dimensional problem. The key to the question is the determining of the temperature of the cooling water. Three methods are given in this paper for analyzing the interaction between the cooling water and the concrete. The formulas required in computation are derived and a computer program for common use has been compiled. Some problems encountered in engineering practice are investigated. A practical computing method and relevant charts are presented for the convenience of engineers.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
