Seismic Response Analysis of Water-sediment-base-arch Dam System of the Reservoir
Aiming at the seismic safety problems confronting the hydraulic engineering structures in western China,espe-cially the aseismic design of high concrete arch dams,this paper makes a case study of the concrete high arch dam of Xiaowan Hydropower Station,carries out the coupled dynamic analysis of the water-sediment-dam-foundation system of the reservoir,and considers the effects of the complex topography,the reservoir water at the normal stor-age level,and the sediment due to the year-round operation.The main contents include:① The free field calcula-tion of complex canyon terrain based on the transfer matrix method and 2D FEM of coupled system of reservoir wa-ter-sediment-base;②The 3D seismic analysis algorithm of the reservoir water-sediment-foundation-dam system based on the unified framework of fluid-saturated porous media-solid.Finally,this paper discusses the seismic re-sponse laws of the arch dam and the influence of the sediments on the results under the action of the loads of im-pulse wave and seismic wave,respectively.The results show that the central part of the dam crest will bear larger tensile and compressive stress,while the sediment does not have a significant effect on the displacement and stress of the dam.
