Abstract
A complete scheme for solving the key scientific problems associated with high-standard, high-intensity continuous construction of high arch dams was presented. First, based on a coupling analysis of construction system decomposition and coordination for a high arc dam, a mathematical model for real-time control of construction quality and progress that considers complex constraints was developed. Second, a method of progress control was proposed based on a dynamic simulation. Third, a dynamic quality control mechanism was established based on construction information collected using a PDA. Fourth, a system for integrating collected information, progress simulation and quality control analyses under a network environment was developed. Finally, these methods were applied to a practical project to show that each aspect of a construction process can be managed effectively and that real-time monitoring and feedback control can be realized. Our methods provide new theoretical principles and technical measures for quality and progress control in the high arc dam construction process.
