Shape optimization of single-curvature arch dams using the finite element method (FEM) is often computationally expensive. To reduce the computational burden, this study introduces a new optimization method, combining a genetic algorithm with a sequential Kriging surrogate model (GA-SKSM), for determining the optimal shape of a single-curvature arch dam. At the start of genetic optimization, a KSM was constructed using a small sample set. In each iteration of optimization, the minimizing predictor criterion and low confidence bound criterion were used to collect samples from the domain of interest and accumulate them into a small sample set to update the KSM until the optimization process converged. A practical problem involving the optimization of a single-curvature arch dam was solved using the introduced GA-SKSM, and the performance of the method was compared with that of GA-KSM and GA-FEM methods. The results revealed that the GA-SKSM method required only 5.40% and 12.40% of the number of simulations required by the GA-FEM and GA-KSM methods, respectively. The GA-SKSM method can significantly improve computational efficiency and can serve as a reference for effective optimization of the design of single-curvature arch dams.

Abstract Geological conditions play a decisive role in the stability of arch dam engineering, and the asymmetric geological conditions of the abutment have a very negative impact on the safety of the arch dam. This article takes Lizhou arch dam as the research object, and determines that the arch dam is preliminarily affected by the geological asymmetric characteristics. Through the geomechanical model test method, the overload failure test of the Lizhou arch dam was carried out, and the resistance body, the instability deformation of the structural plane of the two dam abutments, and the influence of each structural plane on the dam body are obtained, and the safety factor is determined. According to the test results under the condition of asymmetric foundation of arch dam, for the structural plane which affects the geological asymmetry of the arch dam, the corresponding reinforcement measures are carried out. The feasibility of the reinforcement scheme is verified by the finite element method, and the safety factor after reinforcement is obtained. According to the results, it is suggested that some engineering measures can be taken to reduce the geological asymmetry between the two banks and ensure the safe and stable operation of the arch dam in the future.
