Displacement in dams is the most tangible and important parameter which could be crucial in their safety. Different elevation displacements are yielded by various loadings and the thrust force imposed on foundation and abutment. Most concrete dams are constructed on stone foundations. Displacements in foundation and abutment are measured by extensometers. Karun 4 Concrete dam is designed with 11 galleries, from elevation 1016 to 802 m, in the order from top elevation (dam crest elevation 1032) to the bottom elevation (dam foundation elevation 806) within the dam body. As a whole, 19 extensometers in the left bank, 17 in the right, and one more in the middle are implemented in the dam. Karun 4 dam has already been impounded with water up to the elevation 1003. Displacements in Karun 4 are recorded by extensometers whence water was leveled in 7 elevations 943.68, 953.36, 973.55, 983.28, 993.17, 1003.13. In this study, using SPSS we have tried to predict the displacements for a situation in which water will be elevated to the elevations 1013, 1023, 1032 in the future for elevations which are equipped with anchor. The most predicted displacement pertaining to the left bank when water was leveled to the elevation 1013, was 3.65 mms by R2 = 0.9997 for the implemented anchor. Proceeding further, as water is leveled to the elevations 1023 and 1033, the most predicted displacement respectively would be 4.31 and 5.66 by R2 = 0.9941; and is related to the anchor implemented in the elevation 936.05. The most predicted displacement for the right bank is 5.9397, 7.2347 and 8.6877 mms by R2 = 0.9995 for the elevation 888.128 m. Keywords: Displacement, extensometer, Karun 4 concrete dam, SPSS INTRODUCTION Displacement in dams is the most tangible parameter which could be easily measured. Displacement involves all directions, but the most critical displacements occur in the horizontal plate. Concrete dams are needed to have equipment in order to measure displacements including relative motion of the interior points of the dam and the dam motion relative to a stationary exterior point. In the current article, to achieve the amount of displacement, extensometer instrumentation data has been utilized in the contact surface between the dam body and the rock mass. Accomplished researches in this field including: Aleksandrovskaya and Urakhchin (1974) predict the displacements of concrete gravity dams on rock foundations and the horizontal displacements of high concrete dams during operation in which most effective analysis is based on use of the so-called method of influence coefficients. The maximum and minimum values of displacements obtained by the monograms can serve this purpose (Aleksandrovskaya and Urakhchin, 1974). Allen and Cluff (2000) considered the effect of active faults in dam foundations (Allen and Cluff, 2000). Wieland et al. (2003) Considered earthquake resilience in large concrete dams (Wieland et al., 2003). Mata and Portela (2007) used neural network for predicting Radial displacement by using pendulum readings in Concrete dam (Mata and Portela, 2007), but in this paper Extensometer readings are used for predicting mentioned displacement by statistical study (SPSS: Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). Wieland et al. (2008b) Studied in potentially active faults in the foundations of large dam and its effect on the selection of sites, dam type and design aspects of dams to resist fault movements (Wieland et al., 2008a, b) predict the relative crest settlement of Concrete-Faced Rock fill Dams (CFRDs) Corresponding Author: Hadi kamali Bandpey, Department of Mining Engineering, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran 4607 Res.

Fig. 1: A view of Karun 4 dam (mahab-ghodss consulting engineering company) analyzed using an artificial neural network model. This method can support the dam engineer in predicting the relative crest settlement of a CFRD after impounding (Kim and Kim, 2008). Mata (2011) interprets concrete dam behavior with artificial neural network and multiple linear regression models. The results of this study show that NN models can be a powerful tool to be included in assessments of existing concrete dam behavior (Mata, 2011). CASE STUDY Karun 4 dam construction site: Karun 4 dam is located in plaited chains of Zagros Mountain which runs along north-west to south-east. The chief bed of the reservoir is Technical considerations on the extensometers installed in the body of Karun 4 dam: Karun 4 dam is designed with 11 galleries respectively from DG1 (Drainage Gallery) elevation 1016 to DG11 elevation 807 respectively from the top elevation (dam crest elevation 1032) to the bottom elevation (dam foundation elevation 806) within the body of the dam. Galleries elevations and the elevation whose extensometer and anchors are installed, along with their readings (displacement in the same elevation in which the anchor is installed) in left and right abutments are presented in Table 1 and 2. In the right and the left bank, respectively 2 and 4 instruments were refrained as a result of overdue installation and lack of ideal readings and are not applied in predicting (Table 1 and 2 with asterisks). In respective readings, positive displacement depicts the ascent of the rod or the subsidence of the body of dam, and negative displacement indicates downward movement of the rod. Extensometers are installed in dam banks (the contact surface between dam body and rock mass) with determined dip and azimuth. In Karun 4 dam 19 Extensometers are implemented in the left, 17 in the right bank and one in the middle. Figure 2 illustrates the extensometers layout in the concrete double-arch dam, Karun 4.

The interesting point is that the recorded displacements in right-left banks except a series of anchors which are poorly installed or those having improper readings, all prove to have high rate of regression coefficient. Left bank: Taking all the correlation coefficients in the left bank and bearing in mind Table 6 among extensometer anchors, the highest correlation coefficient belongs to the anchor a56 (Table 7) pertaining to the first anchor installed at the depth of 54 m EX54-07-848/3. Resulted relations using Table 7 are as follows: Right bank: Taking all the correlation coefficients in the right bank, noting Table 3 among the extensometer anchors, the highest correlation coefficient in anchors (Table 4) a32 and (Table 5) a56 are respectively related to the anchors first installed at a depth of 54 m from extensometers EX54-12-911/3 and EX54-06-848/3. Figure 3, 4, 5 and 6 shown results our methods. Considering Table 4, results for the right bank are as follows: Linear: (With correlation coefficient 0.973) Y = 0.o68(x) – 63.696 Linear: (With correlation coefficient 0.984) Y = 0.027(x) – 24.547 Quadratic: (With correlation coefficient 0.993) Y = 1.371*10-5 * (x2) – 11.579 Cubic: (With correlation coefficient 0.997) Y = 3.185*10-8 * (x3) - 0.0064 (x) + 34.174 5 Displacement (mm) Quadratic: (With correlation coefficient 0.999) Y= 3.496*10-5 * (x2) – 30.681 Cubic: (With correlation coefficient 0.999) Y = 2.227*10-7 * (x3) – 0.656 (x) + 346.997 Resulted relations using Table 5 are as follows: 3 2 1 0 940.00 Linear: (With correlation coefficient 0.988) Y = 0.022(x) – 20.539 Quadratic: (With correlation coefficient 0.997) Y = 1.141*10-5 * (x2) – 9.794 4 Observed Linear Quadratic Cubic 960.00 980.00 Water elevation (m) 1000.00 Fig. 3: Regression diagram resulted by anchor 32a data, using SPSS 4614 Res.

J. Appl. Sci. Eng. Technol., 4(22): 4607-4616, 2012 a matter of poor installation or improper reading; but the rest are of high rate of correlation coefficient. Therefore, displacements using 44 anchors with a high correlation coefficient are due to occur. Among the 68 extensometer installed in the left flank, only the anchor installed in elevation 946.3 pertaining to the extensometer with the coding EX42-13-953/2 has a low correlation coefficient and the rest have a high correlation coefficient. We could conclude that in comparison to the right bank, the left bank benefits from a higher correlation coefficient. So in the case of the left bank, displacement is predicted using 67 anchors with a high correlation coefficient: For instance, taking Fig. 7 into account the most predicted displacement for the left bank when water is leveled at elevation 1013 equals 3.65 mms with R2 = 0.9997 referring to the anchor installed in elevation 889.8362. Consecutively, when water is leveled at elevations 1023 and 1033, the most predicted displacements are in the order 4.31 and 5.66 mms with R2 = 0.9941and refer to the anchor installed in elevation 936.05.
