Abstract:Under the dam foundation of Zhijie Reservoir, it is Cambrian ~ Ordovician dolomitic limestone, and the direction of karst development, dissolution channel and dissolution trough development is basically consistent with the secondary fault trend caused by the fault at the right end of the dam. In the course of operation, local subsidence of dam slope in front of dam occurred, which threatened the safety of dam. From the aspects of engineering geological conditions and engineering management of dam foundation and dam body, the paper comprehensively analyzed the causes of subsidence of upstream dam slope, and put forward an emergency reinforcement scheme combining curtain grouting of dam foundation and loose layer filling grouting of dam body, and achieved remarkable results.
