The site of the Zeya hydroelectric station is located in a gorge whose width at the water's edge is 350 m. The mean annual air temperature in the region of the construction site is --4.1~ the mean monthly temperature of the warmest month (July) is +18.6~ and of the coldest month (January) --30.1"C.The mean annual temperature during construction of the main structures varied from +0.4 to --2.5 ~ .An intrusive mass of dlorltes serves as the foundation of the structures of the hydrostation. The diorites are intersected by several zones of tectonic disturbances with a thickness from 0.2 to 3 m.The modulus of deformations of the foundation varies from 3-10" to 2.104 MPa and averages 1.3.104 MPa. The indices of the shear strength of the concrete with respect to the dlorites are: friction coefficient 0.70 and cohesion 0.03 MPa. The specific water absorption of the rocks is from 0.01 to 0.005 dmS/mln (in rare cases it was 1 dm'/mln~.The barrier of the Zeya hydrostation is formed by a buttress dam with a crest length of 714 m and maximum height of l12 m. The volume of concrete in the dam is 2,160,000 m'. The dam has a triangular profile with upstream and downstream slopes of, res~ectlvely, 1:0.15 and 1:0.8.The buttresses with a 7 m thickness on the spillway part and 5 m on the powerhouse part on the upstream side have massive heads.The thickness of the head varies with height from ii to 6 m. On the downstream side the hollows between the buttresses are covered with 3.5-m-thick slabs on the spillway part and 1.5-m-thick slabs on the nonoverflow parts [i]. The width of the spillway section is.15 m and of the powerhouse section 24 m.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
