Numerical Investigation of dip angle direction of foundation Joint on nonlinear dynamic response of concrete gravity dams
The stability of a gravity dam on a jointed rock foundation might be endangered by weak joints that may be present in the fracture network of the bed rock. A review of the literature shows that there are few studies of the effect of a weak joint in the foundation rock on the stability of dams. This research uses the finite difference numerical modelling software ABAQUS to model a gravity dam, t...
متن کاملA Dynamic Analysis of the Interaction of Concrete Face and Rockfill Part in Concrete Faced Rockfill Dams
Introduction Concrete faced rockfill dams have been considered in recent years more than other types of dams due to their low dependency on the bed and the shape of the valley, as well as the simpler construction technology. In this regard, rockfill dams are a suitable substitute for embankment dams because of higher stability of the body and the availability of rock aggregates. On the other h...
متن کاملDeformational Characteristics of Rocks Containing a Single Discontinuity (TECHNICAL NOTE)
For the purpose of exploring deformation characteristics of jointed rock masses, influence of joint inclination and confining pressure on the mechanical behavior of discontinuous rock a series of compression tests were conducted under satisfactory testing conditions on three types of sandstone from various locations. Three groups of jointed specimens were used in this research, including specim...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effects of Vertical Joint on the Seismic Behavior of Arched Concrete Dams under Non uniform Excitation (Case Study of Karun4 Dam)
Dam behavior investigation has been considered for a long time, with many studies conducted to identify and predict factors influencing such structures. In common dynamic analyses of dams, an input acceleration is typically used. At the same time, it was proved that such structures with a large contact with the ground usually experience different accelerations in their various supporting points...
متن کاملLaboratory Study of the Shear Behaviour of Natural Rough Rock Joints Infilled by Different Soils
Natural rock joints infilled with soil materials may show a reduced shear strength, which influences rock mass stability. The aim of this paper is to experimentally investigate the shear behaviour of infilled rock joints, taking into account joint surface characteristics and the properties of the joint and infill materials. A new model for predicting the shear strength of infilled joints is pre...
