Mathematical statement, methods and algorithms of assessment of stress-strain state of earth dams with account of elastic-plastic, moist properties of soil and finite strain, structural heterogeneity of structures under static effects, are presented in the paper. Stress-strain state of three erected structurally heterogeneous earth dams of different heights was studied with account of elastic-plastic, moist properties of soil and large strains in a structure. In the process of investigation it was revealed, that an account of elastic-plastic properties and moisture content of soil, as well as large strains and heterogeneity of a structure, qualitatively and quantitatively vary the state of high earth dams, increasing arch effect for vertical stresses and horizontal stresses in the base of a dam, changing stress state of a structure on the whole and bringing the drop in pressure on the contacts of different parts of a structure
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
