| Abstract | This study deals with the seismic evaluation of Khlong Tha Dan RCC (RollerCompated Concrete) dam, located at Nakhon Nayok province in Thailand. The statbility of the dam are obtained by using the arithmetic analysis. The finite element method is used for dynamic analysis (program DYNPAK) with three options (small deformation elastic transient analysis, large deformation elastic transient analysis, and small deformation elasto-plastic transient analysis) as well as static analysis (program PLANE). The input parameters such as modulus of deformation, poisson's ratio, compressive and tensile strength of dam and foundation rock are selected from the report (design criteria Khlong Tha Dan dam) and laboratory testing (AIT thesis). The stress-displacement of the dam under static and dynamic condition are considered. In addition, the time history of displacement plots and stress contour used for determining the weak zone of the dam are also reported. Furthermore, the stress-displacement under the different properties of foundation rock (massive rock and fractured rock) are also considered to compare the state of stress-displacement of the dam between two different conditions of foundation rock. |
