Consolidation Analysis of Nuozhadu High Earth-Rockfill Dam Based on the Coupling of Seepage and Stress-Deformation Physical State
A consolidation analysis method for an earth-rockfill dam based on the coupling of physical state, stress deformation, and seepage was established. In this method, a permeability coefficient model considering physical state and shear stress level was introduced, and it was integrated with Biot’s consolidation theory to simulate the coupling relationship. Taking the Nuozhadu high earth-rockfill dam as an example, a parameter back-analysis method using a neural network and evolutionary algorithm was applied to back-analyze the permeability coefficient model parameters of the core material based on observation data of pore water pressure in the dam. Then, consolidation numerical analyses were performed by using the back-analyzed parameters and the constant permeability measured in situ, respectively. The spatial and temporal distribution of pore water pressure calculated by the back-analyzed parameters coincided quite well with the monitoring data during construction and operation. However, the numerical results with constant permeability are different from the observed values, which indicates that the permeability coefficient model and the consolidation analysis method can be applied effectively, reasonably, and necessarily to numerical simulations for high earth-rockfill dams.
