In high ground stress zone, rebound deformation of excavation of arch dam bedrock has a significant impact on the structural behavior, design and construction of arch dam. Based on the analysis of mechanical effects of excavation rebound, with both stress and deformation as two constraint conditions and deformation modulus as a controlling condition, the method to determine a better concreting time of dam body was put forward. All of these play an important guiding role in the excavation of dam bedrock and the construction of dam body.
The present paper generalizes the method for solving the derivatives of sym- metric isotropic tensor-valued functions proposed by Dui and Chen(2004)to a subclass of nonsymmetric tensor functions satisfying the commutative condition.This subclass of tensor functions is more general than those investigated by the existing methods.In the case of three distinct eigenvalues,the commutativity makes it possible to introduce two scalar functions,which will be used to construct the general nonsymmetric tensor func- tions and their derivatives.In the cases of repeated eigenvalues,the results are acquired by taking limits.
Rock rebound relaxation deformation,or even rock burst,caused by the excavation of dam base and abutment or high rock slope affects their stability and results in the fall of mechanical properties of the rock.So an inverse analysis method was proposed in this paper to establish the time-dependent model of deformation modulus caused by excavation rebound.The basic principle is based on the combination of observed data of the excavation rebound deformation of dam abutment or rock slope,and the calculated rebound deformation by FEM under ground stress at the corresponding time in the excavation process.The norm of the residuals of observed data and calculated data are taken as the objective function.Accordingly,the time-dependent model of bedrock deformation modulus can be established.The method displays its significance in the design of excavation,construction and operation management of dam base and high slope.
