Analysis for the Seepage Stability of the Upstream Cofferdam of One Hydropower Station

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the geological conditions of upstream cofferdam and foundation of the hydropower station, analysis for the seepage of the upstream cofferdam used SEEP/W module of Geo-studio software. Analysis for the stability used SLOPE/W module with Swedish circle method and Bishop method. Safety factor of the upstream and downstream in different conditions was obtained. The results show that the design of the upstream cofferdam was reasonable, and it will provide theoretical basis for Seepage control design of cofferdam.
