AbstractThe elastoplastic numerical and experimental results of Laxiwa arch dam-foundation system are
presented by employing a finite element method simulation(TFINE code) and a geomechanical model experiment
with scale 1250. The failure mode of the arch dam-foundation during overloading process is given with the
above two methods. By analyzing and comparing the numerical and experimental datait is indicated that the
results of numerical simulation agree well with experimental resultsand the stability of Laxiwa arch dam satisfies
the general requests of arch dam design.
