Most of the existing studies on high dams under seismic action use stable ground motions, which cannot simulate non-stationary process practical motions well. Although many scholars have studied special characteristics motion frequency and intensity lately, relatively few systematic been carried out for residual deformation dam projects. In this paper, considering 144 stochastic acceleration ti...

With the increasing height of rockfill dams, detailed and effective numerical simulation for dam design construction has become increasingly important. This paper develops a finite element program impoundment process high large-scale earth dams studies influence accuracy on deformation crack analysis. By establishing subdivision mode conventional elements, mesh generation is realized. Using row...

The site for the high Quxue Dam has a narrow canyon with very steep abutments and complex geology in Sichuan Province, China. Various types of embankment concrete dams were considered an asphalt-core dam (ACED), 174 m high, was selected. asphalt core is slender impervious element some concerns have been raised about reliability safety type (ACEDs). This paper presents case study highest ever bu...
