Research on Deformation and Stress of Concrete Face Rockfill Dam Based on Finite Element Analysis

Abstract:

Based on the nonlinear finite element analysis, the deformations and stresses of the CFRD in the completion and storage stages were simulated. The deformation and stress laws of the dam body and the panel in different stages were predicted. Finally, the sensitivity analysis of main parameters of the Duncan-Chang E-B model was carried out by the multiple indicators of orthogonal design method, and the critical sensitivity parameters of the deformation and stress on the CFRD were obtained. The results can take some reference for the design, construction and safety monitoring of the CFRD.
