Crest Settlement Prediction of Concrete Faced Rock-Fill Dam After Initial Impounding

CFRD의 담수 후 정부침하량 예측

In this study, settlement characteristics of 23 CFRD was investigated from monitoring data and the method to estimate the crest settlements considering internal settlement during constructions was proposed. Moreover, crest settlement smaller than 20cm and deflection of face slab smaller than 20cm are not considered to be critical to the stability of large dam whose height is over 40m. Therefore, we assigned the region as safe zone that can be used as a guideline of maintenance of dam. These estimated data can be used in the design, construction and long-term maintenance in domestic CFRD hereafter.
