THE STRESS DETERMINATION FOR WATER
INTAKES WITH PIPES INSIDE PILES
This paper presents the initial stress calculations performed in order to validate a future innovative solution which incorporates both the sluices and the water intake with the supply pipes embedded within the concrete piles.
A brief calculus was done to estimate the supplementary forces involved in the dam stress. It starts from simplifying assumptions in order to estimate the stress supported by the concrete piles. The obtained results will be furthermore used to determine if the envisaged solution requires special methods of foundation or structural reinforcement.
