Assessment Of The Stress–Strain State Of Earth Dams Under Static Loads

Abstract

Based on the variational principle, a calculation scheme, mathematical model, and methodology have been developed to determine the stress–strain state (SSS) of the Rezaksay earth dam with a complex geometric configuration under its own weight in a plane strain condition. The calculations were performed using the licensed software complex Plaxis 2D, taking into account the structural features of the dam. Numerical studies made it possible to determine the nature of the SSS of the earth dam and reveal that the presence of an inclined core and a tooth in the structure leads to the formation of a complex stress state in the upper prism.
