Stress-strain state of a dam-plate with variable stiffness, taking into account the viscoelastic properties of the material

This article describes the stress-strain state of a dam-plate with variable stiffness, taking into account the viscoelastic properties of the material. The mountainous regions of Central Asia from the point of view of ecology are a promising area for obtaining clean drinking water and electricity. When solving the energy and water management problems of this region, one of the main tasks is the creation of economical and reliable structures of mining hydraulic structures, taking into account the fact that the construction area is a highly seismic zone. The use of new materials in engineering practice, the design and creation of strong, lightweight and reliable structures requires further improvement of mechanical models and the development of methods for their calculation, taking into account the real properties of structural materials. We have investigated the stress-strain state of a dam-plate of variable thickness. The dam was considered as a plate of variable thickness, taking into account the transverse seismic load and water pressure.
