[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valley amplitude deformation tests of hydropower stations, and particularly relates to a test device for simulating valley amplitude deformation of a hydropower station. Background Technique

[0002] The sufficient conditions for the above-mentioned valley amplitude deformation are that there are stratified or stratiform-like strata distributed on both sides of the reservoir area, the permeable layer and the relatively impermeable layer are distributed alternately, the dam site is located in a tectonic basin, there is a regional confined aquifer below the dam foundation and there is a direct hydraulic connection with the reservoir water. The gentle natural groundwater level on both sides of the river valley will increase the deformation amount of the reservoir bottom and valley amplitude, and the topographic and geomorphic conditions will affect the magnitude and distribution of the deformation amount of the reservoir bottom and valley amplitude.

[0003] At present, there have been many studies on the impact of changes in hydrogeological conditions caused by reservoir impoundment on engineering buildings. However, most of the studies are limited to the engineering scale range, and there is still a lack of understanding in studying the impact of changes in hydrogeological conditions on the deformation of slope rock masses from the regional scale. In the study of slope rock mass deformation, there have been many achievements in the study of the deformation of the reservoir basin of hydropower stations under common geological conditions, but there is a lack of research on valley amplitude deformation.
