At first FEM is used to calculate the deformation of the right abutment of the Danjiang arch dam; and the influence of the fault F1 on the deformation of the abutment is analyzed emphatically. Then the limit stability analysis method is used to calculate the stability factor of safety of the blocks cutting by the fault and bedding layers. The results show that the fault has significant influence on the deformation of the abutment within a certain extent; the blocks can’t meet the stability requirement and reinforcement is required. Finally
on the basis of the results some reinforcement measures are suggested.
