Abstract

In the present study, the prediction methods of the crest settlement after impounding and the maximum internal settlement during dam construction were proposed through the analysis on settlement data at 38 monitored points of 36 Concrete-Faced Rockfill Dams (CFRDs). The results from this analysis provided that the crest settlement and the maximum internal settlement are increased in proportion to the dam height and the void ratio. However, the relationship between internal settlement and dam height for each void-ratio range plotted in semi-logarithmic scale is the nearly same. Also, the prediction of the crest settlement of the CFRD is possible through the maximum internal settlement during dam construction. In addition, it seems that the valley shape highly affects the dense dam body with high construction modulus. The results of this study will provide the useful tool for the design, construction and management of CFRDs.

본 연구에서는 36개의 CFRD에 대한 계측자료(38개 지점)를 통해 댐 축조단계에서 얻어지는 계측자료를 이용하여 담수 후 댐의 정부침하량 및 내부침하량 예측기법을 제안하였다. 전체 데이터에 대한 분석 결과, 댐체의 정부침하량 및 시공 중 최대 내부침하량은 댐체의 높이 및 간극비에 비례하였다. 그러나 내부침하량과 댐 높이에 대한 반대수지 상에서의 선형회귀분석 결과는 간극비에 따른 차이 없이 대단히 유사함을 확인하였다. 또한 CFRD의 시공 중 내부침하량을 통해 정부침하량의 예측이 가능하였으며, 댐체가 조밀할 경우 연직변형계수가 크게 평가됨과 동시에 계곡형상의 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 향후 CFRD의 설계, 시공, 장기적 유지관리를 위한 유용한 도구가 될 것으로 사료된다.
