Abstract: In this paper, the criteria of stress and deformation are proposed to judge the crack of high earth-rockfill dam. The static and dynamic numerical analysis of six design schemes for Pubugou dam, which is one of the highest earth-rockfill dam in China, are carried out by means of elastoplastic and equivalent viscoelastic constitutive model. Moreover, the possibility of crack induced by earthquake is discussed. Finally, the crack analysis method and anti-crack measures are suggested for the high rockfill dam.
