This invention discloses a method and apparatus for
simulation prediction and stability analysis of cracks in
spillway dams, relating to the field of
hydraulic engineering, for comprehensive analysis of crack formation and stability prediction. The invention establishes a
nonlinear finite element model of downstream facade cracks in the
spillway dam section, applies loads such as self-weight, temperature,
water pressure, sand pressure,
uplift pressure, and valve thrust to the model, and then performs
simulation calculations of the entire process of
spillway dam construction, impoundment, and operation. Next, it inverts the
crack initiation and propagation process of the downstream facade cracks in the spillway dam section, performs corresponding repair treatments on the cracks, and evaluates the state of the cracks
after treatment through
simulation and analyzes the propagation stability of the cracks. This invention more comprehensively considers various influencing factors, provides more accurate crack formation analysis, and has advantages such as high efficiency, accuracy, high stability, strong
operability, and low detection cost.
