Analysis and monitoring of Tsankov Kamak arch dam
The Tsankov Kamak Project is located in the south-west of Bulgaria, in the Rhodope Mountains, in Vacha river valley. 400 m downstream of the confluence of the Vacha River and the Gashnya River the natural flow of both rivers will be dammed up by an arch dam in order to utilize the hydropower potential of Sredna Vacha section. HPP Tsankov Kamak is the last stage of the Dospat-Vatcha Cascade to be implemented and is planned to start operation at the end of 2010. It is Bulgaria's largest hydropower project within the last decade. The main structure of this project is a 130.5 m high double curvature concrete arch dam with a crest length of 341.1 m. The concreting of the dam started in October 2007 and will be finished in January 2010. The present contribution will pay special attention to the numerical analysis of the dam in the detail design phase, the modelling assumptions and numerical results as well as resulting design modifications. A second focus will lie on the monitoring system. Actual measurements during the construction of the dam are presented and compared to the results of the numerical analyses, as basis for a good performance of the structure in a long term range.
