Stability Analysis of Arch Dam Abutment

Abstract:

Safe analysis of the progressive slide is used to estimate the stability of arch dam. The space stochastic parameters are surveyed through considering the relativity of parameter. The stability reliability analysis can be divided into element, sub-structure or sub-system, system.etc. From element to system calculate abutment’s ability. Sub-structure is composed by elements parallel connection. System is composed by sub-structures in series. The substructure method is applied to study the interaction between arch dam and its abutment. In this paper, the weakness part of abutment was found by cracking analysis of the progressive slide, and the safe evaluation was given.
