Simplified Design Method of Debris Arch Detention Dams Structure and Its Application in Highway

摘要

As a debris detention structure, small arch dams have some characteristics of small size, big storage capacity, and economic compared with gravity dams In this paper, according to the work environment and force behaviors of debris detention structure, adopting Trial-load Method, and only considering the conditions of radial deformation compatibility at arch crown, a simplified method is derived, which is suitable for the calculation of small-scale debris arch dams. Examined by calculating an example, this method is simplified, and convenient to programmed, and easy to be mastered by engineering and technical personnel for debris detention structure design and calculation, and calculation accuracy can meet the project requirements.
