Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis of Clay Core Wall Earth Dam

Abstract:

This paper adopts universal finite element calculation software to carry out simulation analysis for clay core wall earth dam of Zhongfang reservoir, computer is applied in design and analysis of clay core wall earth dam. Variation laws of clay core wall earth dams stress and displacement in construction process and operational process is researched. The research results are shown: clay core wall earth dam of Zhongfang reservoir is economic and reasonable, structure is safe and reliable, and every index meets the requirements for design.
