Abstract
Based on the RCC(roller compacted concrete) gravity dam, considering the multiphase, heterogeneity and microscopic structure characteristics of RCC, we use the RFPA analysis system to analyze the whole destruction process of the RCC weak level under the action of the pure water pressure in this paper. By simulation, we obtained the distribution of the stress, elastic modulus, water pressure on the whole failure process of RCC weak level and several parameters, such as the up crack load, instability load and critical crack propagation length. By calculation, we got the double K fracture toughness of RCC under the different of water pressure, and the results show that the up crack toughness and instability toughness change regularly with the increasing of water pressure initial value in the mass.Keywords
