Liquefaction analysis and soil improvement in Beydag dam
Abstract Beydag dam is under construction on Kucukmenderes River for irrigation purposes. Due to the scarcity of core material and liquefaction of alluvium at the dam site, the original design was changed to Roller Compacted Concete (RCC) from rockfill dam with claycore. Although the new design was safer, it nearly doubled the cost of the dam, so the owner, State Hydraulic Works of Turkey, (DSI) set out to find more economical but equally safe alternative. Since jet-grouting is a cheap ground improvement tool in Turkey, such an alternative was developed for the ground improvement against liquefaction together with concrete face rockfill dam sitting on top of improved ground. This paper presents a detailed discussion of how the new alternative was developed and evaluated: it discusses the determination of jet grouting pattern, the placement of jet grouted blocks, and the assesment of liquefaction. On one hand the soil cement strength of jetgrout columns, internal friction angle of alluvium and rockfill were important in determining the dimensions of the blocks, on the other hand the location of the blocks were highly affected by the areas where liquefaction occurred. One of the most important parameter that has a considerable influence in delineating the boundary betweeen liquefaction and non-liquefaction was the value of stress reduction coefficient (rd), being primarily sensitive to the weight of overburden, which is calculated by the height from the face of dam to the depth where the calculation was made. This approach is justified by two-dimensional ground response analysis. Most importantly, this paper shows that there exists an alternative solution for building dams on the liquefaction prone sites without removing alluvium by using a well known jet grouting technique for improving ground at only selected places.
