Abstract
Double-curvature dams are unique structures for several reasons. Their behaviour changes significantly after joint grouting, when they turn from a set of independent cantilevers into a monolithic structure with arch effect. The construction process has a relevant influence on the stress state, due to the way in which self-weight loads are transmitted, and to the effect on the dissipation of the hydration heat. Temperature variations in the dam body with respect to those existing at joint grouting generate thermal stresses that may be important in the stress state of the structure. It is thus essential to have a realistic estimate of this thermal field, also called reference or
