Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydropower engineering, in particular to a membrane-submerged drainage system for a bank slope of a membrane earth dam. Background Art

[0002] It is impossible to completely avoid the occasional defective holes that appear during the operation of the geomembrane anti-seepage reservoir in the whole reservoir basin. If there are large leakage spots in the geomembrane and there is no reasonable drainage channel, or the groundwater level line on the bank slope is high, and the groundwater overflows on the slope below the membrane, then the seepage will gradually accumulate and generate a certain pressure at the bottom of the geomembrane. When the reservoir water level drops, the water pressure under the membrane is greater than the pressure outside the membrane, resulting in a reverse top effect. When the water pressure under the membrane is large enough, the geomembrane will bulge and gradually form defective holes, causing water seepage through the membrane and threatening the safe use of the geomembrane. Such accidents are particularly obvious in the reservoir of the pumped storage power station. The water level of the pumped storage power station is in a long-term process of rising and falling. The pressure on the membrane changes greatly, and the repeated stress at the bulge position is prone to fatigue damage. Utility Model Content
