Development and Implementation of a Dam–Abutment Contact Rheological Model for Peripheral-Joint Deformation Analysis of an Extra-High Concrete-Faced Rockfill Dam in a Narrow Valley
Concrete-faced rockfill dams (CFRDs) constructed in narrow and steep valleys are strongly influenced by the mechanical interaction between the dam body and abutment bedrock. Under long-term construction and reservoir impoundment, time-dependent frictional slip along the dam–abutment interface may alter deformation tran...
