Improvement and Experimental Study of Loading Mode of Vacuum Preloading Method by WEI Yanbing, LI Zhenxin, LI Yao

“…For the phenomenon of “soil column” occurred in the reinforcement of mud by vacuum preloading method,in order to improve the reinforcement effect of vacuum preloading this paper summarizes and analyzes the formation mechanism of “soil column” for coming to the conclusion that the main reason for the formation of “soil column” is the silting of drainage board,proposes the method of step vacuum loading,concludes that the strength of reinforced soil increases largely under the step vacuum loading method after analysis of the theory of soil mechanics,and verifies it through the indoor model test.The results show that the permeability coefficient of the plastic drainage board decreases slightly and the consolidation settlement value of the reinforced mud is larger under the step vacuum loading,indicating that the step vacuum loading method can reduce the silting of drainage boards,delay the occurrence of “soil column” phenomenon,and improve the overall reinforcement effect of mud.…”

Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Long-Term Reclamation on the Flow and Sediment Concentration in Binhai Port,Yancheng by ZHU Siyu, LU Dan

“…Binhai Port is located at the most obvious corrosive coastline of the abandoned Yellow River delta in the north of Jiangsu Province,where the near-shore wave and flow dynamic is strong,the sediment movement is relatively active,the underwater terrain is complex and the slope erosion is obvious.Based on the measured hydrological and sediment data and a two-dimensional mathematical model for wave,tidal current and sediment,this paper quantitatively analyzes the influence of the long-term reclamation project on the flow and sediment concentration in the study area and the surrounding estuary,and emphatically discusses the back silting characteristics and deposition causes of the 300 000-ton channel during normal and rough weather.The results show that:After the implementation of the reclamation project,the flow and sediment characteristics of the study area don't change in a large scale,and mainly the flow and sediment near the project site is affected.The sediment is deposited after the channel dredging and a sediment deposit centered at the area with peak sediment concentration is formed in the channel,with decreasing deposition thickness to the port and outer sea channel.During rough weather,the maximum deposition thickness can reach 8~24 times of that in normal weather,but it is less than 0.2 m/d and there is no sudden silting and navigation blocking.…”

Study of structural stability of a concrete gravity dam using a reliability approach� by Mohamed Essaddik Kerkar, Mustapha Kamel Mihoubi

“…This investigation is to establish a methodology in order to optimize the safety of a concrete gravity dam in operation by carrying out a risk analysis which includes the identification of the sources of danger in terms of scenarios that can occur due to a failure on the dam-reservoir system on an implication of natural hazards (floods, earthquakes) and technical accidents such as malfunction of a spillway gate, drain valve, drainage system or important silting. Reliability methods provide a basis for the probabilistic assessment of the structural safety of a dam. …”

Hydrodynamic Characteristics and Riverbed Evolution Analysis of the Bazizui Straight Branching Channel in Xinjiang River Based on MIKE21 by HU Kelong, JI Yong, CEN Yixing, ZHONG Heye, ZHANG Yue, ZHANG Lichen, WANG Yin, ZHANG Jie

“…To clarify the hydrodynamic characteristics and riverbed evolution trend of the branching channel bank in the Bazizui shipping section of Xinjiang River,this paper builds the two-dimensional mathematical model of the research water area by MIKE21 hydrodynamic module.It employs the hydrological data of Meigang Station to calibrate the model and verify the accuracy.On this basis,the hydrodynamic characteristics in different hydrological periods of the straight branching channel of Xinjiang River are analyzed,and the evolution trend of the branching channel section is clarified.The results show that the left branch is the main water branch,and the diversion ratio of the diversion channel decreases with the increase in flow.The velocity of flow is irregularly distributed and varies significantly between regions.The main stream appears in the left branch of the diversion section,and the maximum flow velocity is confirmed in the narrow part.The water level decreases uniformly from the diverging area to the confluence area.The overall stability of river pattern development and evolution is good,and the evolution of the water channel is mainly reflected in the local changes of riverbed scouring and silting in branching channels.The model can effectively simulate the diversion ratio and water level variation of the branching channel,which can provide a scientific basis for the study of river safety protection and navigation stability.…”

Analysis of Channel Evolution and Its Influence of Xunwu River in Source Area of Dongjiang River Based on GIS Technology by CHEN Chuan, ZENG Jinfeng

“…Based on the measured data of large fixed sections at Shuibei Hydrological Station from 2010 to 2020 and the underwater topographic survey data near Shuibei Hydrological Station,this paper constructs a topographic database of underwater sections and a three-dimensional underwater topographic model near Shuibei Hydrological Station for riverbed change analysis by using GIS technology,analyzes the channel scouring and silting in single Shuibei Station section of the main stream of Xunwu River in terms of temporal and spatial change,and discusses the influencing factors and the influence of the changes.The results show that:GIS technology is an effective method to study the changes of river topography.The average annual river-bed elevation of Shuibei Station section of the main stream of Xunwu River decreased by 0.75 m from 2010 to 2015,and by 0.52 m from 2015 to 2020.With the scouring of the main channel terrain during 2010—2020,the average undercut depth is 1.27 m.The main factors for the topographic change of the river channel in this section are the sand restraining of power plants,the sand mining of river channels and the comprehensive treatment of abandoned mines.The annual undercut of river channels will increase the storage capacity of river channels and increase the reverberation time of pollutants in the downstream channels,thus worsening the water quality.In a worse case,the severe evolution of riverbed may cause the dangerous situation of the bridge across the river and even the hollowing out or collapse of embankment.…”
