In view of the characteristics of high strength and thin thickness of spillway tunnel lining concrete, the temperature field and stress field of spillway tunnel lining concrete during summer construction are simulated by using large-scale finite element software SAPTIS, and the risk assessment of lining concrete surface flow maintenance time and internal water passage time on its own cracking during summer construction is analyzed. For a project, the simulation calculation is carried out, and the results show that under the given working conditions, compared with non-flow curing, the surface point stress of surface flow curing for 28 d decreases by 1.34 MPa, and the minimum crack safety factor increases by 0.79 ; the internal middle point stress decreases by 0.75 MPa, and the safety factor increases by 0.31. The cooling time of internal water in lining concrete is longer than the time when the maximum temperature of concrete occurs, which cannot effectively reduce the maximum temperature of internal temperature, but it can reduce the internal tensile stress to a small extent and improve the safety factor. The research results have guiding value for thermal control and crack prevention of lining concrete.
