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. date: 2007 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-34447637089&doi=10.1016%2fj.advengsoft.2006.08.040&partnerID=40&md5=aac1acfe7eb92edf473f3225911f89dc id_number: 10.1016/j.advengsoft.2006.08.040 full_text_status: none publication: Advances in Engineering Software volume: 38 number: 11-12 pagerange: 886-895 refereed: TRUE issn: 09659978 citation: Jaafar, M.S. and Bayagoob, K.H. and Noorzaei, J. and Thanoon, W.A.M.
