1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上The Design of Earth-Rock Dam and SpillwaysPart 1 Embankment DamsSelection of embankment type:In general, there are two types of embankment dams: earth and rockfill. The selection is dependent upon the usable materials from the required excavation and available borrow. It should be noted
2、 that rockfills can shade into soil fills depending upon the physical character of the rock and that no hard and fast system of classification can be made. Rocks which are soft and will easily break down under the action of excavation and placement can be classified with earthfills. Rocks which are
3、hard and will not break down significantly are treated as rockfills. The selection and the design of earth embankment are based upon the judgment and experience of the designer and is to a large extent of an empirical nature. The various methods of stability and seepage analyses are used mainly to c
4、onfirm the engineers judgment. Freeboard :All earth dams must have sufficient extra height known as freeboard to prevent overtopping by the pool. The freeboard must be of such height that wave action, wind setup, and earthquake effects will not result in overtopping of the dam. In addition to freebo
5、ard, an allowance must be made for settlement of the embankment and the foundation which will occur upon completion of the embankment. Top width :The width of the earth dam top is generally controlled by the required width of fill for ease of construction using conventional equipment. In general, th
6、e top width should not be less than 30 ft. If a danger exists of an overtopping wave caused either by massive landslides in the pool or by seismic block tipping, then extra top width of erosion resistive fill will be required.Alignment :construction costs but such alignment should not be such as to
7、encourage sliding or cracking of the embankment. Normally the shortest straight line across the valley will be satisfactory, but local topographic and foundation conditions may dictate otherwise. Dams located in narrow valleys often are given an alignment which is arched upstream so that deflections
8、 of the embankment under pool load will put the embankment in compression thus minimizing transverse cracking,Abutments :Three problems are generally associated with the abutments of earth dams:seepage,instability, and transverse cracking of the embankment. If the abutment consists of pervious soils
9、 it may be necessary to construct an upstream impervious blanket and downstream drainage measures to minimize and control abutment seepage.Where steep abutments exist, especially with sudden changes of slopes or with steep bluff, there exists a danger of transverse cracking of the embankment fills,
10、This can be treated by excavation of the abutment to reduce the slope, especially in the imperious and transition zones. The transition zones, especially the upstream, should be constructed of fills which have little or no cohesion and a well-distributed gradation of soils which will promote self-he
11、aling should transverse cracking occur. Stage construction :It is often possible and in some cases necessary, to construct the dam embankment in stages. Factors dictating such a procedure are :a wide valley permitting the construction of the diversion or outlet works and part of the embankment at th
12、e same time; a weak foundation requiring that the embankment not be built too rapidly to prevent overstressing the foundation soils;a wet borrow area which requires a slow cases it may construction to permit an increase in shear strength through consolidation of the fill. In some cases it may be nec
13、essary to provide additional drainage of the foundation or fill by means of sand drain wells or by means of horizontal pervious drainage blankets.Embankment soils :Most soils are suitable for use for embankment construction, however, there are physical and chemical limitations, soils which contain e
14、xcessive salts or other soluble materials should not be used. Substantial organic content should not exist in soils. Lignite sufficiently scattered through the fill to prevent the danger of spontaneous combustion, is not objectionable. Fat clays with high liquid limits may prove difficult to work an
15、d should be avoided.Compaction requirements :The strength of the impervious and semi-impervious soils depends upon he compacted densities. These depend in turn upon the water content and weight of the compacting equipment. The design of the embankment is thus influenced by the water content of the f
16、ill or after placement practicable alternations to the water content either prior to placement of the fill or after placement but prior to rolling. If the natural water content is too high, then it may be reduced in borrow area by drainage, or by harrowing. If the soil is too dry it should be moiste
17、ned in the borrow area either by sprinkling or by ponding and then permitted to stabilize the moisture content before use. The range of placement water content is generally between 2 percent dry to 2 or 3 percent wet of the standard Proter optimum water content. Pervious soils should be conpacted to
18、 at least 80 percent of relative density.If necessary, test fills should be constructed with variations in placement water content, lift thickness, number of roller passes and type of rollers. For cases of steep abutment, the fill must be placed in thin lifts and compacted by mechanical hand tampers
19、. All overhangs should either be removed or filled with lean concrete prior to fill placement.Types of instruments :The type of instrumentation depends upon the size and complexity of the project. The devices in common use are :piezometers; surface movements; settlement gages; inclinometers; interna
20、l movement and strain indicators; pressure cells; movement indicators at conduit joints and other concrete structures.Part 2 SpillwaysA spillway is the safety valve for a dam. It must be designed to discharge maximum flow while keeping the reservoir below a predetermined level. A safe spillway is ex
21、tremely important. Many failures of dams have resulted from improperly designed spillways or spillways of insufficient capacity. Spillway size and frequency of use depend on the runoff characteristics of the drainage basin and the nature of the project. The determination and selection of the reservo
22、ir inflow design flood must be based on an adequate study of the hydrologic factors of basin. The routing of the flow past the dam requires a reasonably conservative design to avoid loss of life and property damage.Space limitations do not permit an adequate hydrologic treatment of flood flows. Howe
23、ver, data are supplied for estimates of maximum flows for the initial project studies. A more detailed hydrologic analysis is necessary for the utilization of the annual and long-turn stream flow in a proper project formulation.The study of stream or river flows involves:the determination of the amo
24、unt of water available throughout a period of years;and the determination of the maximum volumes of water that must be handled for spillway design and dam safety.In the first aspect, the flow is studied for periods of drought and programmed into this study.
