Application of Finite Element Method for Dry Masonry Overflow Dam Analysis

Abstract:

Through analyzing dry masonry overflow dam structures mechanical characteristics in construction process and operational process, this paper adopts finite element method to carry out simulation analysis for dry masonry overflow dam of Daxilong reservoir. Deducing distribution law of the dams stress and displacement in construction process and operational process. Analysis results show that, dry masonry overflow dam of Daxilong reservoir construction is reasonable, it meets the requirements for design.
