Effect of Abutment Load of Arch Dam on Stability of Underground Caverns Complex

Abstract:

Considering topographic and geologic conditions, project layout and investments, concret arch dam is adopted in a hydropower plant and underground powerhouses are arranged in mountains on left and right banks. However, the minimum distance between the excavation boundary of abutment of arch dam on elevation 850m and underground powerhouse is only 110m. Abutment load created by reservoir storage, permeability and earthquake may affect general stability of underground caverns in operation period. Thus, using elasto-plastic finite difference method, three dimensional numerical simulation models of underground caverns and slope of abutment of arch dam is establised and proposed key issues are systemly studied. The calculation results show that, under reservoir storage and dam vibration subject to earthquke, abutment load has small effect on plastic zone, displacement and stress around opennings and the caverns would be stable in operation period.
