Numerical analysis of dislocations of the face slabs of the Zipingpu Concrete Faced Rockfill Dam during the Wenchuan earthquake

The Zipingpu Concrete Faced Rockfill Dam （CFRD） was obviously damaged during the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. A wide range of dislocations occurred along the horizontal construction joints at EL. 845m, between the face slabs constructed in the second and third stages. The maximum displacement of the dislocations reached 17cm. In this study, the slab dislocations were investigated using finite element （FE） analysis. The method based on strain potential was applied to compute the permanent deformation of the Zipingpu Dam during the Wenchuan earthquake. The calculated magnitude of the slab dislocation showed good agreements with the field measurements. The dislocation mechanism was discussed. The results show that the dislocation of the concrete slab is a subsequent damage after the permanent deformation of the rockfill materials. The effects of the shear strength and the direction of the construction joints, the reservoir water level and the seismic waves were studied. The shear strength and the direction of the construction joints, reservoir water level and have a significant effect on the dislocation displacement. The dislocation can be effectively reduced by measures such as changing the direction of the construction joints or improving the shear strength at the horizontal joints.

Analysis on residual strain of Zipingpu Concrete Faced Rockfill Dam after Wenchuan earthquake

The Zipingpu Concrete Faced Rockfill Dam （CFRD） was subjected to significant local damage in the ＂5.12＂ Wenchuan earthquake. It is the first rockfill dam of more than one hundred meters high to encounter a strong earthquake anywhere in the world. Based on the finite element smoothing method, the residual strains at a typical cross-section and a downstream slope of the dam were obtained by processing the dam monitored displacement data. The position of and reason for the dam settlement and deformation ofrockfill dilatancy in the earthquake were analyzed according to the section residual strain. The results show that the maximum settlement ratio on the dam body approximately occurs at 2/3 of the dam height; dilatancy occurs from the dam crest to 25-30 m in the upstream and downstream slope; the immediate cause of the face slabs horizontal construction joint dislocation is excessive residual shear strain. Meanwhile, the position of and reason for the dam fissure in the earthquake were analyzed according to the dam slope residual strain.

紫坪铺水库现状水沙情势变化与减淤措施研究

水库泥沙淤积是造成有效库容减少、运行成本增加以及水库寿命缩短的重要影响因素,科学判别水库的淤积形势以及开展合理的排沙措施是解决水库淤积的有效途径。紫坪铺水库自汶川地震后,入库沙量呈增加趋势,对水库的安全运行及下游用水安全产生了极大威胁。研究表明:汶川地震前,岷江上游径流量呈减小趋势,地震后有少许恢复,但仍处于偏枯状态;地震后入库沙量明显增加,截至2020年,水库淤积总量为1.952亿m^(3),占总库容的17.55%,泥沙总体淤积在库区中部,坝前淤积相对较少;为应对水库淤积问题,提出减少水库淤积的措施、异重流排沙、人工清淤以及工程措施与非工程措施结合的“上库调沙,下库调水”的综合减淤方式,以期为紫坪铺水库健康长效运行提供决策建议。

The Focal Mechanism and Characteristic of Stress Field in the Zipingpu Area before the M_S8.0 Wenchuan Earthquake

Based on seismic wave records of the Chengdu digital seismic network and Zipingpu reservoir digital seismic network from August 16,2004 to May 12,2008 when the Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake occurred,the parameters of focal mechanisms of 486 earthquakes with magnitude larger than M1.6 in the Zipingpu reservoir area were calculated using amplitude ratio method,meanwhile the temporal-spatial variation characteristics of mechanisms and stress field were analyzed based on these parameters.Results show a low ratio of thrust earthquakes and an increased number of strike-slip earthquakes in the reservoir water area in the period from 2006 to 2008.While in the areas far from the reservoir waterfront,the thrust earthquakes took up a high proportion and the strike-slip ones did not increase.The direction of mean principal compressive stress field was deflected and disturbed differently in each area before the Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake.

Research on Seismicity and Source Parameters of Small Earthquakes in the Zipingpu Reservoir before the Wenchuan M_S 8. 0 Earthquake

Based on the digital seismic waveform data observed from regional and reservoir seismic networks,the seismicity and source parameters in the Zipingpu reservoir area from January 1,2000 to May 11,2008 before the Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake are studied. The analysis shows a continuous activity of small earthquakes before the Wenchuan MS8. 0 earthquake. The level of seismic activity was from ML2.0 to ML3.0 in recent years. The impoundment of Zipingpu reservoir started in September 2005 and the obvious increment of seismic activities occurred in February 2008,but according to the analysis of the longer time series,the frequency and intensity of seismic activities do not exceed its range,which means it is still a fluctuation of regional seismic activities or tectonic activity. At the same time,we also studied the spatio-temporal distribution and the change of apparent stress difference in the source region before the great earthquake,and the results show that the apparent stress values of small earthquakes are generally higher than fitted values of apparent stress in the reservoir area in the nearly three months before the Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake. It can be seen from the spatial distribution of apparent stress difference,that the epicenter of the earthquake is located at a low stress distribution area,and the relatively high apparent stress difference is at the east of the epicenter. Apparent stress increment occurred in local areas.

Distribution Characteristics of the Seismicity of Zipingpu Reservoir Region after the Wenchuan Earthquake

815 earthquakes recorded by 12 seismic stations of the Zipingpu reservoir seismic network in 2009 were relocated using the double difference algorithm to analyze the seismic activity of the Zipingpu reservoir.Relocation results show that the earthquakes are concentrated relatively in three zones.The distribution characteristics of focal depth are obviously different among different concentration zones.This means earthquakes in different concentration zones may have different causes.Compared to relocation of earthquakes taking place before the Wenchuan earthquake done by other researchers,the seismic concentration zones in the reservoir area shifted obviously after the Wenchuan earthquake.These variations are related to local stress adjustment in the reservoir area and may also be related to the diffusion depth and range of increased pore pressure caused by rock failure in the course of Wenchuan earthquake.

Using Ambient Noise to Study the Seismic Velocity Changes Caused by the Rise and Fall of the Water Level in the Zipingpu Reservoir Region

We study the feature of media changes beneath the Zipingpu reservoir and discuss the process of permeation with the water level rise and fall of the reservoir from January 2005 to January 2008 from ambient noise cross correlation by using continuous seismic data recorded by the stations of Zipingpu seismic network and YZP station. A moving-window cross-spectrum technique has been used to calculate the relative seismic velocity changes between station pairs. Results revealed an obvious relationship between relative seismic velocity, and the water level changes with a time delay that may be caused by permeation during three main impoundments and two large scale disemboguements. Impoundment generates a fast and large impact on the superficial layer, and the changes of seismic velocity is the result of increased pressure and permeation during the impoundment. At the first impoundment, the main effect factor is pressure. During the next two process of impoundment, permeation becomes the main effect factor, affecting the fault at a depth of about 8kin.

水库面对可能最大洪水时的应急调度优化研究

近年来极端气候事件呈现多发强发态势,由此引发的可能最大洪水等极端水文事件对水库安全产生了严重的威胁,而水库常规防洪调度规程在面对其威胁时存在失效隐患,因此对水库常规调度规程进行优化,形成针对极端情况的应急调度显得尤为重要。针对此问题,以位于岷江上游的不完全年调节水库紫坪铺水库为研究对象,基于HECRAS建立了库区河段的一维水动力模型,以确保水库安全的同时最大限度减轻洪水对下游的影响为目标,遵循“以空间换时间”的调度思路,采用“提前预泄结合加大泄量”的优化原则,开展了水库在面对可能最大洪水时调度方式及调度时机的寻优研究。研究发现,在面对总入库流量为水库防洪库容8倍的可能最大洪水时,通过调整水库泄洪方式的组合模式,结合对调度起止时间的科学寻优,实现了水库防洪库容随洪水历程的合理动态分配,为水库完成泄洪任务赢得了更多时间。优化后的应急调度方式有效规避了常规调度失效的隐患,度汛期间坝前水位峰值相较于原调度方式降低了18.4 m,确保库区水位始终处于安全范围;库区水面线变化控制在14.7 m以内,相较原调度降低了55.6%,库区整体水位变化更加稳定;并且优化方案下削峰率达74%,最大程度减轻了下游所受洪涝灾害的威胁。在此基础上,通过进一步对水库防洪潜力的定义分析,揭示了两种调度方式下水库度汛效果存在明显差异的原因,为水库面对极端洪水开展应急调度提供了新思路和新参考。

利用三维孔隙弹性模型探讨紫坪铺水库对汶川地震的影响

本文基于三维孔隙弹性理论,建立了紫坪铺水库及周边地区的有限元模型.根据紫坪铺水库开始蓄水到汶川地震发震时刻的水位变化情况,计算了整个区域的孔隙压力和库仑应力.详细讨论了断层及周围地层的弹性模量和扩散系数对计算结果的影响.计算结果表明:从弹性角度看,断层的弹性模量对汶川地震震源处的库仑应力影响很小;震源处的库仑应力随着断层和周围地层的扩散系数增大而增大.当给定弹性模量和扩散系数代表性值的时候,计算结果表明在汶川地震发震时刻,震源处的库仑应力变化量为+1kPa左右,这表明紫坪铺水库使得汶川地震发震断层更加危险.是否这个量级的库仑应力就能够触发汶川地震还需要进一步探讨.通过分析库区周边小震的分布,发现小震分布区域均是库仑应力增加的地区,因此紫坪铺水库周边的小震应该与紫坪铺水库蓄水有直接关系.

导流洞堵头常规设计方法的修正

常规的水工导流洞堵头设计中一般都忽略堵头变形产生的摩擦阻力,使得堵头长度过分偏于保守。根据堵头的工作机理,首次推导了堵头的变形压力,以及由此增加的阻滑力的表达式,并结合紫坪铺工程实例,分析了该因素对堵头整体稳定性的影响。计算结果表明,堵头的变形压力可以有效地提高堵头的抗滑稳定安全系数和减少堵头的设计长度,从而缩短工期,节约投资,具有良好的工程应用价值。
