Abstract:
      As the geological conditions in west China are are complicated, deep overburden foundation often exists in the construction of earth-rock dams. Deep overburden foundation results in the leakage of reservoir and possibly endangers the safety of the dam, so the seepage control problem is particularly prominent and urgent. A water conservancy project in Tibet was taken as an example and finite element analysis method was used to conduct two-dimensional and three dimensional calculation of infiltration line and seepage quantity and stability of 8 kinds of seepage control schemes of this project, such as“no impervious”,“upstream clay blanket”, “downstream mattress drainage”, “downstream clay gland”, “non-impervious dam foundation”, “hanging concrete anti-seepage wall”, “down with curtain grouting anti-seepage concrete wall”and“impervious wall”. The relationship between optimum anti-seepage scheme selection and seepage coefficient was found out, and the effect of the scheme of deep overburden layer of vertical seepage control was verified, wich may be used as a reference for similar engineering.
