CHEN Xixin, LIU Jian and CHEN Tianshen
Abstract141)      PDF (370KB)(178)      
With the development of information technology, the traditional paper-based hydraulic patrol inspection work is gradually transformed into a patrol inspection management system (module). At present, the patrol inspection system still has some problems. For example, the patrol inspection objects are not abstractly classified, the defects are not objectified, and the functions of patrol inspection App are simple. Aiming at the above-mentioned problems, the optimization design scheme is proposed and applied to the patrol inspection module in the dam safety information management system for Yalong river basin. Web terminal and mobile terminal (App) are mainly included in this module and functions such as viewing tasks, patrol inspection, result recording and query, defect tracking and query are available. With the help of information management means, this system can optimize the information management mode of hydraulic patrol inspection and further improve the level of dam safety information management.

LYU Gaofeng, ZHENG Shuqian, LIU Xili, HUANG Chengjia and LUO Dongxu
Abstract133)      PDF (391KB)(124)      
Typhoon exerts great impact on the operation safety of dams in China, especially on the dams in typhoon prone areas along the southeast coast. The impact of typhoon wind on the dam is mainly determined by the wind scale. At present, China Meteorological Administration has realized the prediction of typhoon track and different wind grade radius in the four quadrants of typhoon. The geographic coordinate information database of the concerned dams is established, the typhoon prediction information can be obtained in real time and the later influence range of different typhoon wind scale can be calculated. Based on the dam location and the local wind scale, graded warning is realized. The above-mentioned functions are realized through computer programming. It would quickly identify the dams which may be damaged by typhoon and realize rapid early warning for dams encountering typhoon.

Abstract91)      PDF (1542KB)(107)      
At present, it is difficult to record monitoring data when sluice are opened for flood discharge, especially in the case of dam deformation, the safety will be affected. Therefore, in order to understand the stability state of dam safety, a deformation monitoring system for reservoir dams based on 3D laser scanning is proposed. The working principle and equipment functions of the deformation monitoring system are introduced. The point-to-surface deformation comparison analysis mode is used to monitor dam deformation, and the source program is developed to realize the processing, comparative analysis and modeling of the integrated monitoring point cloud data. The intelligent machine system is applied to the actual monitoring of dam deformation. The results show that the system meets the design requirements in terms of stability, reliability, real-time and accuracy, resulting in higher data integrity rate.

Application of 1D and 2D hydraulic coupling model in break analysis of cascade hydropower dams
ZHANG Fengshan, DU Dejin and YANG Yanlong
Abstract103)      PDF (1961KB)(107)      
Reasonable demonstration of impact from dam- break flood is of great significance to dam risk assessment and emergency management. When it comes to cascade dams failure, a 1D and 2D hydraulic coupling model is established to analyze the propagation of dam failure flood and the inundation of floodplain downstream the dam. Taking cascade hydropower stations on W river as an example, the impact of dam failure under two reservoir operation conditions in flood season and non-flood season, is considered in the model. The propagation of dam break flood is analyzed from aspects such as the peak discharge, maximum water level and timing of flood on typical section. On this basis, taking the maximum inundated depth of the flood plain as a representative index, dam failure flood risk level is divided and the flood risk map is drawn. The areas with high risk in case 1 and case 2 are 431.31 km 2 and 575.76 km 2 respectively, indicating the great impact of dam break flood on downstream areas. The simulation results have important reference value for developing emergency plans as well as disaster prevention and mitigation.
