O controlo da segurança estrutural tem como objectivos:
Obter conhecimento sobre o comportamento das obras, nomeadamente, barragem, encostas e obras subterrâneas (central, sala dos transformadores, chaminés de equilíbrio e túneis/galerias).
Garantir a segurança estrutural do empreendimento.
Para este fim tem-se em conta:
Aspectos Técnicos do Empreendimento de Cahora Bassa
Barragem Abóbada de Dupla Curvatura com:
Central Subterrânea, na margem sul com:
Albufeira com:
Previsão da Central Norte ( Projecto apresentado em 2002)
Principais Comentários Sobre a Segurança Estrutural do Empreendimento
Cahora Bassa dam and appurtenants works is provided now with a thoroughly monitoring system considered as adequate for diagnosing and follow up the main behaviour scenarios.
The behaviour of the dam is almost well known and satisfactory, as published else-where, and this is the main achievement of the last years efforts and an incentive to proceed.
Comentários dos nossos consultores
“...a segurança das obras de Cahora Bassa é globalmente muito satisfatória”
(Hidrotécnica Portuguesa, Projectista da Barragem de Cahora Bassa, Lisboa, Portugal – Relatório de 2001).
“O comportamento estrutural e hidráulico da barragem de Cahora Bassa e da sua fundação, analisado com base nos dados do sistema de monitoração desde o 1º enchimento, nas inspecções visuais regulares e nos inúmeros estudos específicos realizados, tem-se revelado satisfatório”
(Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia Civil, Lisboa, Portugal – Relatório de 2002).
“A team of six dam safety and water management experts from the Corps of Engineers were sent to southern Africa in March. They evaluated the structural integrity of dams in the Zambezi River Basin and possible impacts on humanitarian operations...The team found the dams well run in good operating condition. There were no structural problems. The instrumentation at Cahora Bassa Dam in Mozambique was impressive...The dam was in very good working order with no signs of any problems. It was professionally operated and administered. The dam displays no signs of having any problems in near future”
(USACE-United States Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg, USA, 2000 Flood Relief Report).
“After 30 years, deformation of the dam wall is within expectation. Plastic deformation (creep) due to swelling of the mass concrete caused by alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) remains a concern. However, additional monitoring instruments have recently been installed to collect data on vertical wall displacement. The Consultant recommends continued monitoring and research of the movement of the wall due to this phenomenon.The dam wall is well instrumented and the instrumentation system has been maintained and monitored in an exemplary manner by HCB since the dam was completed in 1974. Since 1995 the dam monitoring and instrumentation system is being progressively upgraded and identified deficiencies prioritised and corrected” (NIPPON KOEI, Tokyo, 2006 Due Dilligence Report).
