Abstract:Dam safety monitoring is related to dam construction quality and operation safety. It is an important work of engineering construction and operation period. According to the characteristics of the asphalt concrete corewall rockfifill dam, the article optimizes the monitoring design scheme, sets up the key monitoring programs, selects monitoring instruments and installation methods that have little inflfluence on the asphalt concrete core-wall structure to realize the safety monitoring of the key parts of the dam. By processing and analyzing monitoring data of nearly 10 a, the results show that monitoring instrument works normally, monitoring data are continuous and reliable, the running stability of Dashimen hydropower station dam and asphalt concrete core-wall is well. It illustrates that the dam safety monitoring design scheme is reasonable and correct, and plays an important role for fully grasping and understanding the construction quality and operation status of dam.
