Simulating nonequilibrium transport of atrazine through saturated soil

Atrazine, an herbicide widely used for selective control of grassy weeds in the fields where maize is grown, is a potential ground water contaminant in China and, consequently, there is interest in predicting its mobility in agricultural soils. In this study, we determined the nonequilibrium transport characteristics of atrazine in Shahe soil (Beijing sandy loam) using the advection-dispersion equation, and using a sensitivity analysis, we evaluated the contribution of the uncertainty in a given input parameter to the overall uncertainty in model results. The asymmetrical shape and tailing of the atrazine breakthrough curve (BTC) showed that atrazine was subject to nonequilibrium transport. The observed atrazine BTC was best fitted by the chemical nonequilibrium model with a nonlinear least-squares optimization approach. Results from the sensitivity analysis indicated that the retardation factor was the most sensitive parameter. Considering the reliability of the estimated parameters, the best fit to the atrazine BTC was obtained by fixing the retardation factor based on the linear distribution coefficient, and by calculating the dispersion coefficient from the bromide BTC and the average pore water velocity from the measured data; nonequilibrium parameters were the only unknown parameters that were optimized. Model verification procedures were based on best-fit parameters optimized from one soil column experiment and applied to simulate the transport of atrazine in the duplicate experiment. The results showed there was good agreement between measured and simulated concentrations for atrazine leaching in the soil column.     

A semi-empirical formula for evaluating residual strain of soils under earthquake loading

A new semi-empirical formula for evaluating the residual strain of soils under earthquake loading is presented in this paper based on the incremental method and the increment model proposed by the authors. When the incident loading is uniform, the results calculated by the new formula are nearly the same as those by the existing formula. For excitation of the random earthquake loading, the results calculated by the new formula are compared to the results obtained by dynamic triaxial tests. The dynamic triaxial tests had been performed considering different seismic waves, confining stresses,consolidation ratios, and types of cohesive soils. The comparison between the calculated and tested results indicate that the presented formula can efficiently and practically describe the time-dependent process of the soil residual strains under actual seismic loads.     

Seismic waves in a layered half-space from an arbitrary buried source

In this paper, a transfer matrix and a three-dimensional dynamic response of a layered half-space to an arbitrary buried source are derived with the aid of a technique which combines the Laplace and two-dimensional Fourier transforms in a rectangular coordinate system. This method is clear in concept, and the corresponding formulas given in the paper are simple and convenient for marine seismic prospecting and other fields' applications. An example is presented and the calculated results are in good agreement with those of the finite element method (FEM).

新藏公路新疆段多年冻土特征及其灾害初探

新藏公路新疆段沿线海拔高，气候干冷，第四纪松散堆积层厚，在高山区和山原河谷盆地区发育了多年冻土。勘查研究表明：多年冻土分布于K306 000～K310 000和K515 000～K705 00间191．6km路段上，属高原片状连续多年冻土。沿线个别路段含冰量较高，为多冰-富冰冻土，中冻胀中融沉；绝大部分路段以少冰多年冻土为主，弱冻胀弱融沉。现有公路主要冻土灾害有涎流冰、路基融沉、路面翻浆、冻胀破坏、冻融滑塌和冻融泥流等。随着整治改建工程的实施，多年冻土原有的水热平衡的破坏，冻土灾害将趋于严重。根据沿线多年冻土的特征，提出施工和运营中应采取保护冻土的设计原则，通过改线避绕、抬高路基、提高路基强度及完善截排水系统等5条措施以减少公路工程对多年冻土的扰动和破坏。
