The Hanjiang River, the largest tributaries of the Changjiang (Yangtze) River, is the water source area of the Middle Route
of China’s South-to-North Water Transfer Project. The chemical and strontium isotopic compositions of the river waters are
determined with the main purpose of understanding the contribution of chemical weathering processes and anthropogenic inputs
on river solutes, as well as the associated CO2 consumption in the carbonate-dominated basin. The major ion compositions of the Hanjiang River waters are characterized by
the dominance of Ca2+ and HCO3−, followed by Mg2+ and SO42−. The increase in TDS and major anions (Cl−, NO3−, and SO42−) concentrations from upstream to downstream is ascribed to both extensive influences from agriculture and domestic activities
over the Hanjiang basin. The chemical and Sr isotopic analyses indicate that three major weathering sources (dolomite, limestone,
and silicates) contribute to the total dissolved loads. The contributions of the different end-members to the dissolved load
are calculated with the mass balance approach. The calculated results show that the dissolved load is dominated by carbonates
weathering, the contribution of which accounts for about 79.4% for the Hanjiang River. The silicate weathering and anthropogenic
contributions are approximately 12.3 and 6.87%, respectively. The total TDS fluxes from chemical weathering calculated for
the water source area (the upper Hanjiang basin) and the whole Hanjiang basin are approximately 3.8 × 106 and 6.1 × 106 ton/year, respectively. The total chemical weathering (carbonate and silicate) rate for the Hanjiang basin is approximately
38.5 ton/km2/year or 18.6 mm/k year, which is higher than global mean values. The fluxes of CO2 consumption by carbonate and silicate weathering are estimated to be 56.4 × 109 and 12.9 × 109 mol/year, respectively. 相似文献
This study analyzes the response of glacier to climate change during the past 49 years in Urumqi River source region, the
Tianshan Mountains of China. The temporal and spatial variations of winter mass balance (bn-w) at different time scales were
analyzed to identify their response to climate change during 1988–2006 (The observation of winter mass balance observation
began in 1988) on the Glacier No.1 at the headwaters of the Urumqi River, Tianshan Mountains, China. The winter accumulation
shows a significantly decreasing trend. The results show that the cumulative values on Glacier No.1 is 2,202 mm water equivalent
during 1988–2006 and the mean values is 116 mm a−1. Furthermore, the trend analysis of the winter mass balance indicates a rapid decrease since 1990, and the mean mass balance
is only 79 mm a−1 during 1997–2006. Winter mass balance correlates well negatively with the total evaporation from September to April (r = −0.68, α = 0.01), and positively with the total precipitation from September to April (r = 0.74, α = 0.01). However, winter mass balance shows a weak correlation with mean minimum air temperature during September
to April (r = −0.35), and runoff on September (r = −0.13). 相似文献

A new type of micropile, the waveform micropile, has been developed to provide improved load-bearing capacity compared with that of a conventional micropile. The waveform micropile has a wave-shaped grout with a partially enlarged shear key formed by the jet grouting method on the cylindrical shaft of the micropile. Previous research has determined that the waveform micropile can be installed faster than the conventional micropile and that the bearing capacity increases as the wave-shaped grout provides additional shaft resistance between the ground and the grout. In this study, a series of centrifuge model tests were conducted on the waveform micropile model with various wave-shaped grouts to analyze the relationship between the arrangement of the shear key and the load-bearing mechanism of the waveform micropile. The load–settlement relationship and the load-transfer mechanism were analyzed based on the test results of six test micropiles, including three waveform micropiles with a single shear key at various depths, one waveform micropile with a multiple shear key along the pile depth, and two micropiles with only a cylindrical shape. The test results showed that the ultimate bearing capacity of the waveform micropile was over two times greater than that of the conventional micropile. The rate of increase in the bearing capacities of each waveform micropile differed with the shape of the shear key. Furthermore, the characteristics of the load-sharing ratio due to the shaft resistance and end bearing varied depending on the shape of the waveform micropiles.
