Sensitivity Study of the Computational Parameters for the Deformation of Homogeneous Earth Dams

Figure 6

Distribution of the vertical displacement, upstream horizontal displacement, and downstream horizontal displacement of each parameter at different values in the loess dam shell region. (a) Vertical displacement distribution in the loess dam shell region for different values of each parameter. (b) Upstream horizontal displacement distribution in the loess dam shell region for different values of each parameter. (c) Downstream horizontal displacement distribution in the loess dam shell region for different values of each parameter. (A) When takes different values. (B) When takes different values. (C) When takes different values. (D) When takes different values. (E) When takes different values. (F) When takes different values. (G) When takes different values. (H) When takes different values. In (a–c), the red solid line is the line fitted at 0.7 times the parameters; the orange solid line is the line fitted at 0.8 times the parameters; the yellow solid line is the line fitted at 0.9 times the parameters; the green solid line is the line fitted at 1.1 times the parameters; the blue solid line is the line fitted at 1.2 times the parameters; and the purple solid line is the line fitted at 1.3 times the parameters.
