This paper deals with the development of a finite element based computer code for the determination of temperatures within the dam body. The finite element code is then applied to the real full-scale problem to determine the impact of the placement schedule on the thermal response of roller compacted concrete dam. Based on the results obtained, it could be concluded that for a given roller compacted concrete dam, changing the placing schedule can optimize the locations of maximum temperature zones. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd and Civil-Comp Ltd. publisher: Elsevier Ltd date: 2007 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Jaafar, M.S. and Bayagoob, K.H. and Noorzaei, J. and Thanoon, W.A.M.
