Diseño del contorno subterráneo de presas de hormigón cimentadas en suelo

Abstract

A project of UNDERGROUND CONTOUR DESIGN OF GROUND-BASED CONCRETE DAMS requires a soil filtration analysis. Different schemes are proposed taking into account the horizontal and vertical elements along the underground boundary. The best schemes are those that can provide dam economy, simplicity and manufacturing capacity. The different variables involved in the analysis are sub pressure, maximum output gradient and filtration flow that depending on them can determine the design behavior if appropriate. Of these equally strong options for the underground contour, based on its technical and economic comparison, taking into account the factors listed, the most rational contour is selected. These variables will be determined with the help of different methods of filtration analysis applying a calculation algorithm for each of them. The application of the analysis methods will help to compare these, focusing on the method of resistance coefficients the same that needs several modules to develop it so it is currently one of the most widespread in this topic.
