Study of the Limit State Equation Applied to the Deep Slide Stability of Gravity Dams under Earthquake Action

Abstract:

Based on the wedge stability analysis method specified in Design Specification for Concrete Dams (DL5108-1999, in Chinese), the limit state equation applied to deep-seated sliding stability under the earthquake has been deduced, and the safety factor of limit state to quantitatively assess the deep slide of gravity dams has been established. The computation for the project shows that the limit state equation is accurate and applicable.
