Abstract |
Earth dam is one of the oldest constructional establishments that man has used in agricultural fields and provision of potable water for his primitive needs. The water impounded in reservoir may be leaked through a dam body, its foundation or its abutments which has significant importance in the stability of dams and in particular earth dams. When water leaks through such dams it causes many problems. The purpose of this study was to find out the ways to reduce and control the rate of seepage in Jereh earth dam reservoir by numerical methods in finite element analysis. This research was conducted at Jereh Ramhormoz earth dam located 35km northeast of Ramhormoz city in 2013. Different kinds of soft wares are prepared for predicting and calculating seepage flow rate which are cost-effective and need less time to analyze the seepage before dam construction as compared to that of laboratory models. To do so, the effect of seepage on earth dam was investigated by using Geostudio software through which SEEP/W was used to analyze seepage and flow net. At the end the obtained results were analyzed as well. The results showed that for reducing the seepage rate in the given dam, upstream blanket with the thickness of .05 m and low permeability materials including geomembrane can be used. Moreover, concrete upstream blanket that is more cost-effective can be applied. |
