Study on Seepage Control in Complicated Hydrogeological Conditions on the Right Bank of JinPing-I Hydropower Station

Abstract:

With consideration of the special hydrogeological conditions and layout characteristics of the hydraulic structures, the seepage control measures of dam abutment and underground powerhouse on the right bank of JinPing-I hydropower station is drawn up. Based on the three dimensional finite element analysis of seepage control with dry area virtual flow constant mesh analysis method, the rationality of the seepage control measures of dam abutment and underground powerhouse has been verified and the key factors affecting the effect of seepage have been compared. In combination with the curtain of dam abutment, the curtain of underground powerhouse is reasonable. The results showed that the steel liner of penstock after the curtain is necessary.
