The computation program of 3D static and rheological analysis for CFRD is developed using FLAC3D platform, and the computation method and program are verified through computation case of Sanbanxi CFRD. The temporal and spatial distribution of the deformation and face slab’s disengaged distance of Sanbanxi CFRD are analyzed by using the proposed method, and the positions and values of face slab’s disengagement are determined. The research findings suggest that the rheological effect of dam body is obviously unevenly distributed in space, which aggravates the disengagement of concrete slab and may cause new void areas under the concrete slab. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20210244
