Analysis on Consolidation of a Typical Earth-rockfill Dams Which Damaged in Wenchuan Earthquake[J]. Advanced Engineering Sciences, 2009,41(3):146-150.DOI:
Abstract:Wenchuan Earthquake caused many reservoirs damaged. According to the basic situation of earthquake-damaged reservoirs in Sichuan province
the Hongqi reservoir in Cangxi county was taken as a typical earth rockfilled dam example for renovation analysis. Before renovation
the minimum safety factors against sliding of dam slope were only 1.098 ~ 1.145
less than the specification required values ( 1.15 ~ 1.25)
as the water level dropped from exceptional flood level
design flood level and normal water level to dead water level. Through treatment and reinforcement
the values improved to 1.262 ~ 1.698 and met the requirements of specification. Finally
seismic resistance analysis was carried out to study the stability of the dam slope after renovation
and the seismic safety factors were 1.451 ~ 1.654 which met the specification requirements. The results of the statistical data and the renovation of a typical earth rockfilled dam provided a reference for other similar earthquake-damaged reservoir.
