Abstract:Rock-fill concrete damming technology has been widely used in various dam construction projects at home and abroad. The analysis on stress and stability of rock-fill concrete dams is crucial for the safe operation of dams. A non-overflow bank slope section of a rock-fill concrete gravity dam is selected, and the anti-sliding stability of its typical profile is calculated and rechecked by using the material mechanics method. Based on the rechecked results, an in-depth analysis on the distribution patterns of deformation and stress fields in this dam section is conducted by using the three-dimensional finite element method. The calculation results indicate that the material mechanics method only reflects the stability of the typical cross-section of the dam section, while the finite element method can consider the influence of spatial structural deformation coordination and reservoir basin deformation factors. It is recommended to combine the three-dimensional finite element method to analyze the stability of the dam body.
