Research on dam abutment reinforcement effect of Jinping arch dam based on geomechanical model test
The JinpingⅠhigh arch dam with a height of 305 m is the highest under-construction dam of the world at present. The overall stability of the dam and foundation is a prominent problem due to the complex geological conditions in the dam site area. There are a variety of weak structural planes including faults
alteration veins
inner layer compressed zones
joint fissures and deep cracks. To make the dam be in much better stress state and meet anti-sliding stability and deformation stability of the skewback
a lot of reinforcement measures are adopted in the project. The main reinforcement measures include the left abutment concrete seating replacement
concrete grid and hole plug replacement
grooving replacement
and shearing resistant hole
etc. The overall stability of the dam abutment and the effects of dam abutment reinforcement are the important issues which must be concerned in practical engineering. The method of 3D geomechanical model test is adopted to carry out damage experiments. Two 3D models of JinpingⅠhigh arch dam are established respectively. One model is for the unreinforced scheme
and the other one for the reinforced scheme. Deformation distribution characteristics of the dam and foundation
failure mechanism and the overall stability safety degree derived from the two models are comparatively analyzed. The results show that
after reinforced
the symmetry of displacement of the dam body and dam abutments are significantly improved and the displacements are greatly reduced; the crack range and the damage extent of dam abutments are reduced under the same overload ratio
the overload coefficients to failure of the dam abutments are increased and the overload capacity is raised. The safety factors of overall stability obtained with comprehensive method are 4.7-5.0 for unreinforced scheme
and 5.2-6.0 for reinforced scheme. The safety degree is obviously improved through reinforcement measures. Comprehensive analysis shows that the main reinforcement measures
including the left abutment concrete seating replacement
