Abstract
For massive structures such as dams, dead-load stresses form the most important fraction of the total stress in the body. Existing experimental methods that have been used to determine dead-load stresses in structural models are reviewed and evaluated. A new experimental technique termed the “method of integration” is described. The theoretical background of the test is described, the similitude factors are derived, description is given of a typical experiment, and types of results that may be expected are given. The method can be used to study alternative construction procedures to result in desired patterns of dead-load stress.
