Abstract

This paper deals with a practical 3-D analysis model for thermal stress and crack width. The model applied in this study is based on the concept of discrete crack approach. The authors analyzed the thermal stress and crack width in a wall structure by FEM incorporating the 3-D analysis model, and elucidated the 3-D distribution of thermal stress and crack width in the wall in comparison with the actual measurements. The effect of reinforcement on crack control was also investigated.
