NUMERICAL MODELING OF THE STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF EARTH DAMS THAT HAVE THIN RIGID SEEPAGE CONTROL ELEMENTS
The research project covered by this article consists in the assessment of the accuracy of the findings of the analysis of the stress-strain state of earth dams that have thin rigid seepage control elements, if performed using the finite elements method. The testing procedure has demonstrated that the modeling of the stress-strain state of the earth dams that have a reinforced concrete face require high-order finite elements; otherwise, the results are distorted. The employment of finite elements with a quadratic approximation of displacements provides a sufficient accuracy in terms of the final solution. In order to simplify the problem-solving procedure that involves high-order elements, the author suggests using these elements only in the modeling of the thin rigid seepage control element. The testing procedure has demonstrated that high-quality results need non-linear finite elements applicable to both a thin rigid structure and the adjacent areas.
