3D Finite Element Analysis of Concrete Face Rockfill Dam

Abstract:

Concrete face rockfill dam has the certain superiority in the construction of dam. Duncan-Chang nonlinear elastic model is selected as the dam materials in ABAQUS, which is an nonlinear finite element analysis software. Stresses and deformations of the concrete face rockfill dam are analyzed during its completion, operation and water level drawdown periods. Study shows that all results meet the requirements of the project, and have referenced value for other similar engineering.
