Abstract

The paper discusses the numerical optimization design of anchoring end of prestressed cable at some hydropower station. There are two types of designing for the anchoring end, namely using square thick steel anchor bearing plate or using the round-tower anchor bearing plate. By the numerical calculation, the anchoring end using the round-tower anchor bearing plate can match the space and mechanical characteristics of the anchoring end, and stress of the anchoring end is more reasonable.

Keywords: Anchoring end of prestressed cable, hydropower station, numerical optimization design, round-tower anchor bearing plate, square thick steel anchor bearing plate.
