Studies on Water Pressure Changes in Different Parts Kinevars Dam During Construction and First Impounding
Published:
Kinevars Dam is located in Zanjan province, 14 km southwest of Abhar city and about 5 km from Kinevars village. In general, the purpose of constructing the dam is to supply drinking water in Abhar and Khorramdareh cities to supply 1568 hectares of agricultural lands between the dam and the cities of Abhar and Khorramdareh. The dam type is of embankment with clay core. The construction of the body has been completed and it is currently under operation. In order to study the behavior of the dam body and the foundation in different conditions, the first impounding and long-term operation, the instrumentation system has been designed and implemented. In this paper, the results pore water pressure during construction and impounding of various parts of the dam body and foundation are presented and evaluated. The results can be used in future designs.
