Analysis of the slope damage characteristics of the Xiluodu Hydropower Station during the impoundment period
The slope stability of hydropower station after impoundment is a major hidden danger affecting the safety and long-term stable operation of high dam structure. In this paper, the stability of the Xiluodu Hydropower Station slope is analyzed by the combination of micro-seismic monitoring technology and finite element method. The temporal and spatial distribution of the micro-seismic activity and the variation of the micro-seismic energy density are studied. The distribution characteristics of micro-cracks in rock mass of right bank slope and the variation law of slope stress under different water levels are analyzed. The intrinsic relationship between slope stress and micro-seismic events is revealed. The results show that: (1) The micro-seismic activity is positively correlated with the water level. (2) The 580 m water level is the sensitive characteristic water level of Xiluodu Hydropower Station. (3) The micro-seismic events of the slope are caused by the change of rock stress. The method of combining the micro-seismic monitoring with the numerical simulation can evaluate the damage of rock mass effectively and predict the potential instability area of the slope. The results of the research are of great significance to the similar underground engineering construction.
期刊介绍:
Engineering geology is defined in the statutes of the IAEG as the science devoted to the investigation, study and solution of engineering and environmental problems which may arise as the result of the interaction between geology and the works or activities of man, as well as of the prediction of and development of measures for the prevention or remediation of geological hazards. Engineering geology embraces:
• the applications/implications of the geomorphology, structural geology, and hydrogeological conditions of geological formations;
• the characterisation of the mineralogical, physico-geomechanical, chemical and hydraulic properties of all earth materials involved in construction, resource recovery and environmental change;
• the assessment of the mechanical and hydrological behaviour of soil and rock masses;
• the prediction of changes to the above properties with time;
• the determination of the parameters to be considered in the stability analysis of engineering works and earth masses.
