Abstract

The purpose of this study is to suggest the methodology for the computation of uplift pressure and discharge of the seepage flow under gravity dam. A 3-dimensional FDM model is developed for this purpose and this model can simulate the saturated Darcian flow in heterogeneous media. For the verification of the numeric model, test simulation has been executed and the mass balance has been checked. The error does not exceed 3%. Using the developed model, The uplift pressure and seepage flow discharge under gravity dam has been calculated. The uplift pressure shows the similar pattern, comparing with the result of flow-net method. As the length of grout curtain increases, the uplift pressure decreases linearly, but the seepage flow discharge shows the non-linear decreasing pattern. The coefficients of the formulas in the dam-design criteria have been analysed, and ${\alpha}=1/3$ corresponds to the value when the length of curtain grout is 70% of the aquifer height. The uplift pressure near the pressure relief drain has the big curvature vertically and horizontally. The developed model in this study can be used for the evaluation of the effects of seepage flow under gravity dam.

본 연구는 중력댐 하부에서, 침투류에 의한 양압력과 누수량을 산정을 위한 방법론 제시를 그 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여, 유한차분법을 이용한 3차원 부정류 수치모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 모형은 비균질 매체에서 Darcy 방정식을 만족하는 포화흐름을 모의할 수 있다. 모형의 검증을 위하여 우물이 있는 대수층에서 질량 이동을 산출하였고, mass balance 오차는 3%를 상회하지 않는 것이 확인되었다. 개발된 모형을 이용하여 중력댐 하부 대수층에서, 차수벽과 배수공의 존재에 의한 양압력과 누수량의 변화를 산출하였다. 유선망 방법과 비교한 양압력은 서로 유사한 결과를 나타내었으며, heel에서 toe까지의 양압력은 선형적인 분포를 보인다. 차수벽의 길이가 증가함에 따라서 heel에서의 양압력 강도는 선형적으로 감소하지만, 대수층을 통과하는 누수량은 비선형적으로 감소한다. 또한, 댐 설계 기준에서 제시되는 양압력 계산 공식의 계수들을 분석한 결과, 감소계수 ${\alpha}=1/3$ 은 차수벽의 길이가 전체 대수층 높이의 약70%일 경우에 해당하는 값으로 산출되었다. 배수공 주위에서 양압력은 연직 혹은 수평방향으로 급격한 곡률을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서 개발된 수치모형은 중력댐 설계에서 하부 침투류에 의한 영향, 특히 비균질성을 반영하여 양압력과 누수량을 평가하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
