Research findings are generalized on load-carrying properties of penstock laid on downstream face of dam. The findings recently acquired are discussed in detail from the three research techniques, which are theoretical formula method, model test and prototype measurement method, and finite element method. Contents discussed include calculation methods of stress in concrete and steel, calculation methods of crack width in concrete, methods of improving durability, and applications of finite element in analysis penstock structure. Some problems that require exploration in future are given, which include calculation methods of steel allocation, methods of improving durability, load-carrying properties under static load and failure mechanism, load-carrying properties under dynamic load, temperature control and calculation methods of temperature stress, application of new material and new structural type.
