Stress and Deformation Characteristics of Rock-Fill Dam with Asphalt Concrete Core Wall Founded on Deep Overburden

Abstract:

Abstract: The stress and deformation of rock-fill dam with asphalt concrete core wall founded on deep overburden is calculated and analyzed by Duncan E-ν model and double-yield-surface model through three-dimensional finite element method. The stress and deformation of dams in water storage period is compared by the two models, the results show that the deformation distribution of dam core via two different models are coincide one another. The horizontal displacement and vertical displacement of rock-fill dam with asphalt concrete core wall by double-yield-surface model is smaller than which by Duncan E-ν model in the period of water storage. Furthermore, the horizontal displacement and vertical displacement by double-yield-surface model, which are close to the practical test data through the deformation via two models are in good agreement. The analysis of core-wall stress via double-yield-surface model is more reasonable than the Duncan E-ν model. The analysis result of resisting hydraulic fracturing of core dams by DuncanE-ν model is coincide which of core dams by double-yield-surface model.
