Stability analysis of shotcrete supported crown of NATM tunnels with discontinuity layout optimization

For tunnel constructed by New Austrian Tunnelling Method, the crown is the upper part of tunnel section, constructed during excavation process and supported by shotcrete. The stability of the crown has great influence on the safety of tunnel itself and the buildings above, which correlates, among others, with geometrical setup of tunnel and material properties of shotcrete and soil/rock. In this paper, aiming at analyzing the stability of shotcrete supported crown, a recently presented numerical method discontinuity layout optimization is adopted, which introduces a great amount of potential discontinuities cross over one another and provides a wide search space for efficient upper limit analysis. In the analysis, a well‐established hydration model of cementitious material is implemented for accounting the hydration of shotcrete. Then assumptions based on convergence‐confinement method are used for accounting the 3‐dimensional effect in 2‐dimensional analysis, finally providing time‐space–dependent assessments of stability of shotcrete supported crown.

SESTET: A spatially explicit stream temperature model based on equilibrium temperature

Stream-water temperature is a key variable controlling chemical, biological, and ecological processes in freshwater environments. Most models focus on a single river cross-section; however, temperature gradients along stretches and tributaries of a river network are crucial to assess ecohydrological features such as aquatic species suitability, growth and feeding rates, or disease transmission. We propose SESTET, a deterministic, spatially explicit stream temperature model for a whole river network, based on water and energy budgets at a reach scale and requiring only commonly available spatially distributed datasets, such as morphology and air temperature, as input. Heat exchange processes at the air–water interface are modelled via the widely used equilibrium temperature concept, whereas the effects of network structure are accounted for through advective heat fluxes. A case study was conducted on the prealpine Wigger river (Switzerland), where water temperatures have been measured in the period 2014–2018 at 11 spatially distributed locations. The results show the advantages of accounting for water and energy budgets at the reach scale for the entire river network, compared with simpler, lumped formulations. Because our approach fundamentally relies on spatially distributed air temperature fields, adequate spatial interpolation techniques that account for the effects of both elevation and thermal inversion in air temperature are key to a successful application of the model. SESTET allows the assessment of the magnitude of the various components of the heat budget at the reach scale and the derivation of reliable estimates of spatial gradients of mean daily stream temperatures for the whole catchment based on a limited number of conveniently located (viz., spanning the largest possible elevation range) measuring stations. Moreover, accounting for mixing processes and advective fluxes through the river network allows one to trust regionalized values of the parameters controlling the relationship between equilibrium and air temperature, a key feature to generalize the model to data-scarce catchments.     

Characterization of complex groundwater flows in the environment of singular buildings by combining hydrogeological and non-destructive geophysical (ground-penetrating radar) techniques: Punta Begoña Galleries (Getxo,Spain)

Locating and quantifying groundwater flow in many built-up areas are a priority with regard to its complete restoration. In this work, a hydrogeological survey of the surroundings of the Punta Begoña Galleries (Getxo, Bizkaia), built on a coastal cliff, was completed by using ground penetrating radar (GPR) testing. Thus, the preliminary characterization of soils and rocks in accessible areas of the cliff was first improved by hydrogeological information gathered from a single survey borehole, including permeability measurements by low pressure injection tests (LPTs) and continuous water level monitoring. As a complementary method, the non-destructive GPR technique was performed during both dry and wet hydrological periods and in tandem with the injection tests, providing more complete spatial and temporal images of water flows. Specifically, GPR allows mapping of flow paths in soils and assessing the continuity of fractures in rock masses. Altogether, this complementary approach provides greater knowledge of complex underground flow dynamics in built environments, thus making it easier to make decisions for their management.     

Evaporation from seasonally frozen bare and vegetated ground at various groundwater table depths in the Ordos Basin,Northwest China

In cold climates, the process of freezing–thawing significantly affects the ground surface heat balance and water balance. To better understand the mechanism of evaporation from seasonally frozen soils, we performed field experiments at different water table depths on vegetated and bare ground in a semiarid region in China. Soil moisture and temperature, air temperature, precipitation, and water table depths were measured over a 5‐month period (November 1, 2016, to March 14, 2017). The evaporation, which was calculated by a mass balance method, was high in the periods of thawing and low in the periods of freezing. Increased water table depth in the freezing period led to high soil moisture in the upper soil layer, whereas lower initial groundwater levels during freezing–thawing decreased the cumulative evaporation. The extent of evaporation from the bare ground was the same in summer as in winter. These results indicate that a noteworthy amount of evaporation from the bare ground is present during freezing–thawing. Finally, the roots of Salix psammophila could increase the soil temperature. This study presents an insight into the joint effects of soil moisture, temperature, ground vegetation, and water table depths on the evaporation from seasonally frozen soils. Furthermore, it also has important implications for water management in seasonally frozen areas.     

海洋环境因子对澳洲鲐亲体补充量关系的影响——基于贝叶斯模型平均法的研究

澳洲鲐（Scomber australasicus）是西北太平洋重要的中上层经济鱼类，生命周期相对较短，资源量受补充量影响明显，了解澳洲鲐太平洋群系补充量状况对掌握其资源量及确保其可持续利用具有重要的意义。本文利用产卵场1（30°~32°N，130°~132°E）海表面温度（sea surface temperature，SST1）、产卵场2（34°~35°N，138°~141°E）海表面温度（SST2）、索饵场（35°~45°N，140°~160°E）海表面温度（SST3）、潮位差（tidal range，TR）、太平洋年代际涛动（Pacific decadal oscillation，PDO）和亲体量（spawning stock biomass，SSB）6个影响因子任意组合与补充量构建多个模型，运用贝叶斯模型平均法（Bayesian model averaging，BMA）分析各个环境因子对资源补充量的解释能力，并预测其补充量的变化。结果表明，SSB对补充量具有最长期且稳定的解释能力，其次是SST3，PDO、TR、SST2、SST1也对补充量模型具有一定的解释能力。SST3是环境因子中影响最大的因子，可能是由于补充群体在索饵场内生活时间较长，索饵场温度对仔鱼或鱼卵的生长存活有较大的影响。研究认为，基于BMA的组合预报综合考虑了各个模型的优势，优于单一模型，可用于澳洲鲐资源补充量的预测。     

一种局部稀疏地面点云与已有DEM的融合方法

机载LiDAR采集的点云数据中会存在一些局部区域地面点稀疏的情况，利用这些稀疏地面点构建DEM时会出现“三角面片化”的问题，严重影响DEM的质量。为此，本文提出了一种局部稀疏地面点云与已有DEM的融合方法：将稀疏点云作为高精度控制点，在尽量保持原始DEM的地形形态特征的前提下，通过高斯核函数加权迭代插值算法对DEM进行高程局部改正，实现稀疏点云与DEM的一致性融合。试验分析表明，融合后的点云数据得到了较好的补充，由此构建的DEM地形形态自然，在精度上相对于融合前的稀疏地面点云有一定改善，在弱精度区域的可靠性有显著提升。

基于LMS滤波的地基增强系统电离层异常检测

针对地基增强系统(GBAS)中传统电离层异常检测方法无法同时兼顾检测精度与灵敏度的问题,通过构造单通道变步长最小均方(LMS)自适应滤波器以抑制伪码-载波偏离度高频噪声。单通道LMS自适应滤波器是在标准双通道LMS自适应滤波器的基础上,利用被检测信号短时相关性及其量化噪声的非相关性,构造一个采用被检测信号延时量作为参考输入的自适应滤波器,同时对Sigmoid函数进行改进,使得自适应滤波器在前期收敛速度快,且待滤波器收敛后保持较高稳定性。实验结果表明,在相同卫星仰角与电离层时间梯度值下,采用LMS自适应滤波器后电离层异常检测时间缩短,且当电离层时间梯度较小时,该方法也能够实现异常检测,验证了其有效性。
