Investigation and cause analysis of cracks on the dam crest of Longshan reservoir
After the reinforcement of Longshan reservoir,there is a problem of settlement,which leads to cracks on the dam crest and has unknown impact on the dam operation safety.This study comprehen-sively uses pit exploration,drilling and geophysical exploration methods to evaluate the dam operation safety,analyze the current situation of dam filling,investigate and analyze the causes of cracks and set-tlement problems.Meanwhile,the impact of the infiltration line lowering caused by reinforcement is con-sidered to conduct a preliminary evaluation of settlement.The results indicate that the settlement of Longshan reservoir is mainly due to the low filling quality in some areas of dam body and the infiltration line lowering,which leads to the consolidation settlement of filling material.Although the settlement sit-uation still meets requirements,the risk of continued settlement cannot be ruled out.It is necessary to excavate the non-dense soil and rerun the thickening and reinforcement project.The relevant survey methods and analysis can provide reference for similar dam settlement problems.
