Análise numérica e estudo de tensão e deformação em comparação com leituras em caixas suecas instrumentadas em uma barragem de enrocamento com face de concreto localizada no Peru

Numerical analysis and study of stress and deformation in comparison to readings from instrumented swedish boxes in a concrete-faced rockfill dam located in Peru

Abstract

In the field of engineering, Concrete-Faced Rockfill Dams (CFRDs) have been recognized as an increasingly prominent solution, driven by studies and a history of real-world cases. The successful implementation of this type of dam is based on empirical designs, supported by data from previous projects, and monitoring its performance through surveillance. A point of attention is the presence of fissures and cracks in the concrete slab covering the upstream slope, caused by the movement and deformations of the dam's mass. Additionally, the valley geometry between the abutments also plays a crucial role, impacting the redistribution of loads and generating deformations in the mass. This study aims primarily to compare, through computational tools and field data, the behavior of a different material applied in the dam.
