Abstract
The main aim of our research was the analysis of time distribution characteristics of the Enguri dam foundation displacement according to the periodic variation (loading) water level in the lake around the Enguri Arch Dam. The primary temporal analysis was carried out in 1974-1981 period. Modern methods of nonlinear analysis DFA (detrended fluctuation analysis), and MF-DFA (multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis) were used.
The results of our research are important and from investigation we can conclude that dynamic changes of dam foundation displacement, assessment of dam behaviour and water level change in the reservoir of the Enguri high dam.
The analysis of the dynamics measures of the Enguri dam displacement shows us the pattern of nonlinear dynamics of the normal regime with start loading.
