Fundações de barragens gravidade, modelo hidromecânico, elementos finitos de juntaResumo
Apresenta-se a formulação explícita de um modelo hidromecânico em pequenos deslocamentos, baseado numa tecnologia de elementos finitos de junta. O modelo hidromecânico proposto requer um esquema de pré-processamento robusto, de modo a garantir que os contactos entre os diversos blocos que representam o maciço rochoso de fundação e a barragem são somente aresta/aresta. A parte mecânica do modelo, apesar de limitada a pequenos deslocamentos, tem a vantagem de permitir uma representação rigorosa da distribuição de tensões ao longo das juntas. A parte hidráulica do modelo é perfeitamente compatível com a parte me câ ni ca. O modelo hidromecânico é validado recorrendo a uma situação hipotética de uma barragem gravidade fundada num maciço com fraturação regular e a uma situação real de uma barragem em serviço, comparando os resultados com os obtidos com um modelo discreto em grandes deslocamentos. São também comparados os resultados de análises de estabilidade, concluindo-se que é possível avaliar a segurança ao deslizamento de barragens gravidade em betão recorrendo a modelos de interação em pequenos deslocamentos.
