Conclusions
-
1.
A table of allowable values of the indices of the condition of the Kurpsai dam corresponding to the normal (design) condition of the structure was compiled on the basis of generalizing the design decisions and analyzing the results of calculations, experiments, and on-site observations during temporary operation.
-
2.
A comparison of the values measured on site with the allowable indices of the condition of the structure permits a prompt evaluation of the condition of the dam by checking the correspondence of the actual work of the structure to the design specifications.
-
3.
As the results of on-site observations are accumulated, the composition and values of the allowable indices of the condition of the dam can be corrected and supplemented, but under all conditions a check of the correspondence of the actual data to the design specifications should be a necessary element of evaluation of the condition of the structure. Special calculations (so-called calculation models) intended for an analysis of the results of on-site observations and their comparison with the indices of the condition of the dam obtained for changed initial data are a means for such a check.
