基于缓解沙漠高速公路风沙危害的路基参数优化——以榆靖高速公路为例

在沙漠地区修筑高速公路时,风沙对公路路基的危害是公路安全和运营的最大影响因子之一。为了寻求最适合沙漠地区高速公路风沙危害最经济的理论路基断面形式,通过对榆（林）靖（边）沙漠高速公路各种路基实测数据应用数学模型进行定量分析,查明了影响路基沙害程度的主要参数,提出了减少路基沙害程度的设计理念,并对不同路基形式的沙害程度进行了比较,给出了路基沙害程度较小的路基断面形式及参数值。研究成果对今后在沙漠地区修筑高速公路设计及施工具有一定的指导意义。     

风沙活动区工程线路走向与风沙危害程度的关系--以塔里木沙漠公路为例

在风沙活动区,公路或铁路等工程线路的走向无疑会对其本身及防护体系所受的风沙危害程度产生影响。本文以塔里木沙漠公路为例,提出在将风况与公路走向结合起来考虑的同时,以风沙活动强度垂直分量的转化率作为评价公路走向的一种数学方法,并用该方法对沙漠公路不同路段走向进行评价与说明。     

塔克拉玛干沙漠公路风沙危害与防治

塔克拉玛干沙漠公路447 km路段穿越新月形沙丘与沙丘链、复合横向沙垄以及高大复合纵向沙垄区,风沙危害极为严重,被誉为“世界公路建筑的奇迹”。为解决沙漠公路风沙防护体系构建的一系列科学与技术问题,沙漠学界随之开展了风沙运动规律,风沙危害的成因、强度、时空分异及其机械、化学、生物防治的理论与应用研究。本文对风沙危害及其防治研究的主要内容及研究进展进行了全面总结,认为塔克拉玛干沙漠公路风沙危害与防治的理论研究成果与实践应用水平取得突破性进展。     

塔克拉玛干沙漠公路沿线风沙活动的时空分布

利用塔克拉玛干沙漠公路沿线的肖塘、满参和塔中3 个定位观测站1 个自然年的监测资料,对以起沙风和输沙强度为表征的风沙活动进行了分析。选取气象站标准高度10 min风速中大于临界起沙风速(≥6.0 m/s)的风,按16方位分别统计不同级别风的次数及其方位,计算输沙量。结果表明,风沙危害的主风向为偏东风,频率范围48%~76%。风沙活动集中在4~9月;从沙漠边缘向腹地风沙活动加强。向沙漠腹地深入,应加大公路风沙危害防护力度。     

戈壁地区风沙活动对公路影响的初步研究

安西至嘉峪关一级公路建于河西走廊西部的戈壁地区.为了预测和防止公路建成后风沙活动对公路本身以及对行车安全带来的危害,基于野外调查、风况资料的整理分析和实地风沙观测,对公路沿线的风沙危害程度进行了评价.研究结果表明:①研究区绝大部分区域地貌为沙砾质戈壁,在戈壁面保持稳定的情况下不易起沙,而已退化的灌丛沙堆是造成公路风沙危...     

塔里木沙漠公路风沙危害分异规律的研究

从塔里木沙漠公路风沙危害的影响因素入手,分析了公路沙害水平分异和垂直分异的原因,并给出相应的分异规律。公路沙害的水平分异是在不同风沙地貌背景上不同的风力及组合综合作用的结果,同时受人为因素对防沙体系设置的影响;公路沙害的垂直分异通过不同地貌部位体现出来,它是由地形地貌对风动力、有效沙物质量、公路断面形式和防沙体系防护作用等因素的分异作用来实现的。     

新疆S214公路台特玛湖干涸湖盆段风沙危害及防治

新疆S214（考干-米兰,考米线）公路位于库鲁克塔格沙漠东南缘,穿越台特玛湖干涸湖盆。由于该区气候干旱,风力强劲,沙源丰富,流动沙丘广布且快速移动,风沙危害对公路运输构成严重威胁。通过对风沙环境和风沙危害定位观测和土壤水盐特征系统调查,确定了风沙危害极为严重的公路区段,提出了合理的风沙防护措施及防沙体系结构。结果表明：该区具有明显的单风向风况,主要盛行ENE和NE风,偶有反向风沙活动,起沙风频率、输沙势、输沙率极高,属于高能-大比率风能环境;受土壤水分、盐分含量影响,地表紧实度差异较大,部分地段为极疏松的沙层,部分地段为紧实的盐壳;S214公路风沙危害防护区段为K4+900~K18+200,设计建造的阻-固-输相结合的机械-植物复合防沙体系,防沙效果明显,保障了道路安全运营。这一强风沙、高盐区公路防沙体系建设模式可为类似环境地区工程防沙提供借鉴。     

沙漠环境对沙漠公路工程的影响

沙漠地区自然环境严酷，风沙活动对沙漠公路的影响贯彻于各个施工阶段，为获得沙漠工程环境因子及其影响的定量认识，采用二次矩阵方法对公路工程环境影响的程度进行量化评价并提出环境对策。     

塔里木沙漠石油公路工程技术研究

塔里木沙漠石油公路修筑在世界上流动性最大的塔克拉玛干沙漠腹地。沿线沙物质细，起沙风频率高，风沙流输沙量大，地质地貌条件复杂，沙丘移动速度快。修筑沙漠公路要解决两个关键技术问题：一是加强沙基的稳定性；二是防治风沙危害。经过各学科专业人员的协作攻关，采用了振动压实路基和薄层砂砾＋土工布路面结构方案；设置机械沙障为主，化学固沙、生物固沙结合的防沙体系，解决了这两个问题。线路选择布局合理也是沙漠筑路的关键一环。     

古尔班通古特沙漠风沙活动特征与线形工程安全研究

古尔班通古特沙漠是我国第二大沙漠，沙丘类型以固定和半固定纵向沙垄为主。垄间和坡中下部沙面较为稳定，仅在沙垄顶部存在10—40m宽度不等的流动带，风沙活动规律独特。近年来在沙漠腹地修筑的公路、引水渠等线形工程，不可避免地造成沙垄切剖和保护层破环，所引发的工程安全问题引起了人们的普遍关注。通过风况分析和实地观测，对沙漠腹地风沙活动特征进行了初步研究，同时对线形工程风沙危害进行监测，在此基础上提出现有防护体系存在的主要问题与对策。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
