Abstract
The main purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between changes in water level and soil deformation, where the cyclic change in loads on the reservoir bed is the stress deviator, i.e., the PSPP reservoir acts as an oscillator of transverse vibrations, and the soil extensometer performs the function of reading and recording these vibrations. Methodology. Solution of the problem requires recording the time series of water level fluctuations and extensometer sensor fluctuations on all depth horizons. It is also necessary to perform a fast Fourier transform for water level fluctuations separately and similarly to each extensometer sensor fluctuation. We need to separately calculate the signal power spectrum of all sensors in the soil, and compare the amplitude-frequency, phase-frequency components of the power spectra of water level oscillations and vertical oscillations of the extensometer sensors. Results. During the studies, it was found that the PSPP reservoir is a source of low-frequency vibrations in a wide spectral range. These vibrations have a very long wavelength, measured in tens of thousands of kilometers, which can propagate over long distances, both along the front of geological layers and in depth. Scientific innovation. The research in this article allows us to more accurately assess the frequency spectrum of vibrations and identify possible resonance phenomena that may occur in soils during the operation of a power facility. In addition, this study was conducted in a specific region, which makes it possible to obtain more accurate data on the impact of low-frequency vibrations on the geosystem in this region. Thus, this paper may be of interest to specialists in the field of geotechnics, geology, and energy. It can also be used in the planning and operation of other power facilities in similar conditions. Practical significance. Low-frequency waves can be detected by seismic instruments such as seismometers. The results of this study will help to correct the analysis and interpretation of seismograms, which is important for understanding the processes occurring in the hydroelectric power plant operation area.
