Structural behaviour of Bhakra dam

Bhatnagar, P.S. / Kapila, I.P. / Sharma, R.P.

Bhakra Dam is 740 ft high massive straight gravity concrete structure, built at site composed of jointed massive sandstone, interspersed with three significant claystone strata and numerous other weak zones; uplift and seepage measurements clearly establish influence of geological features, and grout and drainage curtain in restricting development of uplift and seepage within permissible values; plumb line observations indicate that observed deflections are significantly less than those theoretically computed by Trial Load Method; results of various measurements indicate that dam and foundations are exhibiting safe expected structural behavior.
