Earthquake Response Analysis and Safety Evaluation of Haokou Gravity Dam

Abstract:

According to the actual engineering conditions of Haokou RCC Gravity Dam, the 3-D FEM model of the typical overflow dam section and its foundation is set up. Using the response spectrum method, the responses of earthquake acceleration, displacement and stress of the dam and their distribution laws were studied under the seismic loading, and the anti-sliding stability of dam is also analyzed. The calculation results show that under the design earthquake condition, the maximum principle stress response of dam body is 2.26MPa, which appears at the dam heel. The safety factor of stability against sliding on the face of the dam foundation is 1.43 and the stability against deep sliding is 3.2. So this dam section can meet the strength and stability requirements of standard, its earthquake-resistant safety could meet the requirements of standard.
