Abstract
The purpose of the study was to analyze the foundation's filtration strength and the HPP building's shear stability after 38 years of operation as part of the Tuyamuyun hydroelectric complex on the Amudarya River. The analysis was carried out based on field data obtained with the help of 16 piezometers installed in two alignments within the block of the HPP building and vertical drainages in the grassland. The constructed graphs of water pressure fluctuations in piezometers coincide with the nature of the change in the water level in the upper and lower pools. The actual gradients did not exceed the allowable gradient for the shaly sand interlayer and limestone bedding fracture filler. Comparison of the maximum natural gradients and those calculated from model studies using electrohydrodynamic analogies. The stability of the HPP building block is estimated by the maximum piezometric pressure and compared with analytical calculations, and the safety factor is 2.303. In this way, the base's filtration strength and the structure's shear stability are ensured in the entire range of changes in the operating mode of the pressure front of the HPP building block.
