Seismic deformation analysis of a rockfill dam with a bituminous concrete core
This paper reports the results of seismic deformation analyses of Shur River Dam, which is an 84 m high water retaining rockfill embankment with a bituminous concrete core. The proposed Shur River Dam is located in a region of high seismicity in Kerman province, Iran. The purpose of the dam is to store raw and process water for use in the Sarcheshmeh Copper Production Complex. The maximum crest settlement of the dam under three earthquake loadings was evaluated using simplified procedures and numerical analysis. Plane strain, dynamic deformation analysis of the Shur Dam has been performed using the commercial software FLAC and its built-in Mohr-Coulomb elastic-plastic model. The main objective of these analyses has been to identify the earthquake induced movements that could lead to uncontrolled release of water. The predicted deformations are compared with the results of simplified analyses and the observed displacements in other embankment dams [1] during past earthquakes. The relative movement of the asphaltic core with respect to the rockfill material on either side of the core was also studied.
