Abstract
On the dams, there are many parameters may change and be different from design. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse the parameters so that it can comply with conditions in the field. By knowing the material parameters can foresee events in the future during operational condition of dam. It is because material parameters can influence behaviour of the structure. Displacement, one aspect in failure of dam, is considered due to its function to accommodate design of camber in dam crest and provide early warning system. Displacement behaviour is related to material parameters in term of Young’s modulus and Poisson ratio. Nevertheless, difficulties for testing material in the dam make approach method to analysis material parameters are required. One of them is done by numerical simulation. In this study, the review of displacement is in the core zone at different elevations and different water level conditions. Value of material parameters which influence displacement were determined using back analysis method. Then, it could be analysed displacement result between modelling and monitoring instrumentation using Settlement Gauge. Results show good agreement trend between those displacement’s results. Moreover, the displacement’s value from simulation model analysis is greater than Settlement Gauge.
Highlights
Utilization of water as basic natural resource can be done by constructing dam structure
One factor to be considered in analysis embankment dam is material parameter
It is needed recently analysis for material parameter that can be used for analysing the dam in operational condition and can have accordance with its condition in field using non-destructive method
Summary
Utilization of water as basic natural resource can be done by constructing dam structure. It is normally very difficult to take up soil samples for testing again the material parameter, especially from the central impervious part, since this might affect the dam performance and the safety of the dam It is needed recently analysis for material parameter that can be used for analysing the dam in operational condition and can have accordance with its condition in field using non-destructive method. By monitoring deformation in the dam using instrumentation can provide early warning system in case of abnormal behaviour of the dam It can be used as a tool for verification the design parameters where geotechnical parameters are of the highest importance. Thereby in this study the review is on the core zone at different elevations so that result of this study attempts for displacement distribution in the core zone of dam’s body
