Measurement values of pamukcay dam comparison with analysis

In this thesis; the settlement of behavior of Pamukcay Dam which is a 37.5 m high earthfill dam with clay core, is investigated fort he end of construction and reservoir impoundment stages. Finite element analyses that are based on a 2-D plain strain solution are performed to determine the displacements. Material model parameters for clay are selected from triaxial compression test results. For other materials, preliminary values for model parameters are chosen based on on the result from previous studies on dams. Predicted and measured displacements are in agreement as a function of time, in terms of magnitude and location for the end-of-construction stage. The maximum settlement is observed to be approximately at the middle of the dam height. Otherwise; in this study the leakage analyse of the selected dam of Pamukcay for model is done by using Finite Element methods and Geo-Studio software program. The result of this model is compared with the observing data of DSI.
