Features: This book is a theoretical and technical summary of the research achievements of the original Ministry of Power's "Eighth Five-Year Plan" key science and technology development project, "CADC for Arch Dams." Based on the fundamental principles and requirements of arch dam design and construction, it comprehensively and thoroughly discusses numerical computer technology, curve fitting technology, construction layout technology, computer graphics processing technology, computer simulation technology, computer application software development technology, and more, for various dam types, including dam bodies and internal galleries, dam spillways, as well as various types of tailraces and in power stations. All the theories, viewpoints, algorithms, and results in the book have been implemented in programs and validated on domestic existing and planned dam projects, providing relatively sufficient design drawings and computational data. Additionally, the book explores and discusses the integration of new arch dam types and computer application software for arch dams.
