Abstract:

In this research in numerical analysis software packages SIGMA / W based on the finite element method was to have been used. For this purpose, during the construction of the dam Kaboodval using behavioral models elastic - plastic and elastic non-homogeneous, non-linear elastic, linear elastic been analyzed and pore pressure, stresses in the body and its meeting with the Data Tools the comparison is accurate. Choose materials as main materials behavioral model of elastic-plastic materials and filter housings and follow the model of linear elastic behavior for injection layer, properly able to predict the behavior of the dam. The efficiency of the software used to model the appropriate behavior is the embankment dam during construction. Vertical deformations of the dam from the wings to the middle levels increased and the highest-level meeting 25-25 and about 2200 mm has been recorded. By examining the different levels, the highest-level meeting between 180 to 185 meters has occurred. The balance of the embankment in these numbers is critical. The major concerns in the elderly is limited barrier. In total, the dam Figures on the right than the left in the transverse and longitudinal direction less was more.

Forecasting embankment dam behaviour with artificial intelligence

Forecasting dam behaviour is of paramount importance to avoid collapses. It consists of detecting and controlling deterioration mechanisms. This paper sets out to propose a multi model methodology to model complex dynamic systems, such as dams. It defines three models based on expert knowledge: a structural model, a functional model and a behavioural model. They are developed from the stories o...
