Vibration tests of the Andizhan reservoir buttress dam

Hydrotechnical Construction Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The investigations showed a high effectiveness of dynamic tests of concrete dams by the vibration machine. Such tests make it possible to determine the dynamic characteristics of the structure with a high accuracy and on this basis to refine its calculation scheme.

  2. 2.

    The investigations showed that in dynamic calculations of concrete gravity dams it is necessary to take into account the three-dimensional character of behavior of the structure (interaction of the sections) and to estimate the forces occurring in the intersectional joints for checking the strength of the intersectional seals.
