The analysis of flow conditions in Curuá-Una Dam, State of
Pará, has the objective of evaluating the geotechnical
feasibility of raising the operation level of the
reservoir. Curuá-Una Power Plant, operated by REDE Celpa,
is responsible for the electric supply of Santarém city.
However, in periods of peak consumption, the energy
production has been insufficient. Raising of Curuá-Una
reservoir is an attractive alternative for increasing
energy production. Curuá-Una Dam is distinguished for being
constructed on sandy alluvial soil, which is a solution
rarely used in the world. The earth dam is zoned, with
maximum height of 26m and crest length of 600m. The
geotechnical parameters were obtained from laboratory
tests, field instrumentation data and construction reports.
The numerical analyses were carried out with FLOW3D
program. A back-analysis of flow behavior was performed for
evaluating permeability parameters, taking into account
results from piezometers installed in the dam and in the
foundation materials. These parameters were used to predict
pore pressures associated to different reservoir levels.
Three levels of alert conditions (normal, attention and
emergency) referring to the safety of the dam have been
defined. The analyses indicated that the dam is operating
within normal levels and a 1.5m rising of the reservoir
shall not affect dams safety. The uplift pressures, due to
different reservoir levels, have also been evaluated, with
results showing a maximum increment of 5 percent.
