AB - Freezing and thawing damage is one of the major problems of the Fengman  concrete dam. Based on the temperature records of the dam, appropriate heat  transfer boundary conditions in the dam body are suggested. A  three-dimensional finite element model is used to determine annual variation  of temperature field of the dam as a case study. The deterioration problem  of concrete dam owing to freezing and thawing effect is investigated.
