Abstract
Analysis and assessment of the safety of hydraulic structures of the Upper Balkar small hydroelectric power station
Incoming article date: 16.11.2017The article presents the analysis and safety assessment of hydraulic structures in the upper-Balkar small hydroelectric power plant. This is done for a project for the suspension and preservation of hydraulic structures Verhnebakansky of a small hydropower plant on the river Cherek in Kabardino Balkar-Balkar Republic. A detailed analysis of causes and factors of external impact of natural and man-made disasters on structures. Determined that most dangerous mountain of the construction site are the physical and geological processes. Established that the level of safety of hydraulic structures Verhnebakansky Small hydropower plant at the time of the survey can be assessed as normal. The values of all controlled parameters do not exceed the established safety criteria. Developed and implemented design solutions for the period of the suspension of construction and the stage of preservation provide strength, stability and safety of structures. Object safe for people and the environment.
