Abstract:
In order to further improve the construction quality of water conservancy projects under different soil conditions and ensure the safety, stability, and durability of water conservancy project foundation construction under special circumstances, this study takes the bearing capacity of water conservancy land foundation as the research direction, takes frozen soil foundation and bag gravel pier composite foundation as examples, and further optimizes the parameters of foundation bearing capacity by using the theory of foundation ultimate bearing capacity and related algorithms. The P-S curve of bearing capacity shows that when the foundation is frozen to -15°C and the foundation sum is about 190 kN, the P-S curve trend at this time changes significantly, which is not different from the indoor simulation result of 170 kN. The final numerical analysis of foundation bearing capacity is relatively reliable, which can provide a powerful reference for the calculation of foundation bearing capacity of hydraulic engineering.

Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete
The sonic test is a common method to determine the dynamic modulus. In this test, a concrete beam, sized either 6 x 6 x 30 inches or 4 x 4 x 20 inches, is clamped at its center. Vibrations are initiated at one end of the beam by an electromagnetic exciter unit powered by...
