Engineering Geological Condition Analysis of the Dam Site Area and Comparison and Selection of the Dam Type for Longxi Reservoir
The hydro-geological condition of the site area of Longxi Reservoir is rather complex,with highly weathered and fragmented rock masses,karst and fault fissures coexisting in the reservoir area.To ensure the reservoir is of a high economic benefit after completion,a detailed analysis of the suitability of the dam site and the dam type is conducted based on the geological survey results of the dam site area.After the comparison,the preferred dam site is the third op-tion,and the dam type is a high-filling self-compacting concrete gravity dam.The selected design is of good geological suitability,compact layout,small excavation and filling quantities,technical and economical feasibilities,and full utili-zation of water resources.
