Abstract

In this paper, the DDA method with a new hydro-mechanical algorithm is used to study the effect of rock discontinuities on uplift and seepage in concrete gravity dam foundations. This paper presents an alternative method of predicting uplift and seepage at the base of concrete gravity dams. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to study the importance of several parameters on dam stability such as the orientation, spacing, and location of discontinuities. The study shows that joint water flow and adverse geological conditions could result in unusual uplift at the base of concrete gravity dams, well in excess of what is predicted with the classical linear or hi-linear pressure assumption. It is shown that, in general, the DDA program with the hydro-mechanical algorithm can be used as a practical tool in the design of gravity dams built on fractured rock masses.

본 논문에서는 수리역학적 알고리즘을 활용한 DDA법을 이용하여 콘크리트 중력댐 기초에서 부양력과 침투에 의한 암반 불연속면의 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 본 논문은 콘크리트 중력댐의 기초에서 부양력과 침투를 예측하는 방법을 보여준다. 댐의 안정성에 미치는 불연속면의 방향, 간격, 위치 등에 대한 변수의 중요성을 연구하기 위하여 민감도 분석이 수행되었다. 본 연구결과 절리를 통한 지하수의 흐름과 좋지 않은 지질학적 조건은 콘크리트 중력댐의 기초에서 전형적인 선형 또는 이중선형 압력 분포의 가정에서 예측한 값을 넘어서는 특별한 부양력의 결과를 나타낸다. 일반적으로, 수리역학적 알고리즘을 활용하는 DDA 프로그램은 균열 암반에 건설되는 중력댐의 설계에 훌륭한 방법으로 이용될 수 있다.
