Finite Element Static Analysis of Asphalt Concrete Core Wall Dam in a Reservoir
HOU Xiongbin
Abstract：This article is based on a certain asphalt concrete core wall dam reservoir project in Xinjiang.Considering the nonlinear characteristics of the dam filling materials,the finite element method is used to simulate two different situations of the reservoir dam construction completion period and the water storage period.The stress and deformation characteristics of the asphalt concrete core wall dam are calculated and analyzed.The results show that the overall settlement of the dam body during the construction period is 0.39%,which meets the requirements of the specifications.The internal stress level of the dam body and foundation is not high,and there is no overall shear failure stress condition.The core wall is under compressive stress,and hydraulic splitting will not occur.The overall safety and reliability of the dam can provide reference for the design of asphalt concrete core wall dam reservoir projects of the same level.
