Non-linear Analysis of Stress and Strain of Concrete-faced Rockfill Dam for Sequential Impoundment Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rockfill is modeled as nonlinear elastic material, whose stress-dependent tangent modulus is related to the confining pressure. The parameters of constitutive relationship of stress and strain are determined by tri-dimensional compression test in laboratory. The model applied in this study adopts the technique of element birth and death to simulate the sequential impoundment process of concrete-faced rockfill dam with time. Nonlinear finite element method is used to simulate the prototype behavior of various components of the dam in sequential nonlinear analysis and some representative results are presented. KeywordsConcrete-faced Rockfill Dam, Sequential Impoundment Process, Nonlinear Finite Element Method, Horizontal and Vertical Deformation

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...
