Role of piles in mitigating the movement of pipes in soft grounds during embankment loading

Abstract

Pipes buried in soft ground can be damaged due to the vertical and lateral movement of the ground during the construction of the embankment. To investigate such a movement of the soft ground, full-scale tests using embankment piles and stabilizing piles were conducted for 70?days. A pile-supported embankment has been used to reduce the deformation of soft ground by transferring the embankment load through piles to the firm layer below the soft ground, whereas stabilizing piles have been employed to resist the lateral earth pressure that is induced in soft ground by embankment loads. The Coupling Area (CA), which was defined as the quantitative index to determine the resistance effect of both settlement and lateral flow of the soft ground when the embankment was reinforced, is adapted. The analysis results of the CA indicate that the piled embankment was more effective for preventing the damage to buried pipe installed near the embankment, while the stabilizing piles had almost the same effect as the piled embankment when the pipe was buried far away from the embankment.

Estimation of Land Subsidence Based on Groundwater Flow Model

This article presents an approach for estimating land subsidence due to withdrawal of groundwater. The proposed method calculates the groundwater seepage in 3-D-condition and calculates the land subsidence one-dimensionally. The governing equation on groundwater seepage is based on the three-dimensional mass conservation law and the principle of effective stress. The land subsidence calculation method is derived based on the following assumptions: (1) displacements occur only in the vertical direction, and (2) in vertical direction the total stresses do not change. The governing equation is solved by numerical method, i.e., finite element method (FEM) in spatial discretization and finite difference method (FDM) in time series discretization. In FEM Galerkin method is adopted and in FDM, lumped matrix method is employed. The proposed method is calibrated via analyzing 1-D consolidation problem and the results are compared with those from Terzaghi's one-dimensional consolidation theory and oedometer test. The proposed method is employed to analyze the consolidation of a soft layer due to withdrawal of groundwater from an aquifer under it. Moreover, this method is also applied to a field case of land subsidence due to groundwater pumping in a gas production field in Japan. The analytical results are compared with the field observed data. The results show that this approach simulates the field case well.     

逆数据域表面多次波压制方法

基于波动方程压制表面多次波的反馈迭代方法,推导出压制表面多次波的逆数据域方法。该方法利用了一次波和表面多次波在逆数据域的可分离性质。含表面多次波的地震数据变换到逆数据域后,表面多次波的能量在逆数据域形成能量聚焦区域,可通过简单切除能量聚焦区域的信号实现表面多次波压制,避免了基于波动方程预测减去方法中的自适应相减过程,完全损伤不到一次波的能量。单道地震记录和合成炮数据模型试算表明：逆数据域多次被压制方法简单易行,可有效压制表面多次波,并保持一次波振幅不受损失。与常规的基于波动方程的表面多次被压制方法（SRME方法）对比表明,逆数据域方法能更好地应对有效波和多次波同相轴相交的情况。     

桂林会仙岩溶湿地典型水生植物δ13C特征与固碳量估算

为促进目前岩溶碳汇稳定性和速率等科学问题的深入研究,在分析桂林会仙岩溶湿地主要水生植物碳同位素的基础上,利用基于碳酸酐酶活性与植物碳同位素值显著正相关的二端元模型,估算了不同植物利用光合作用固定HCO3-的比例。结果表明,湿地核心区沉水植物光合作用固定HCO3-碳量在4.86~64.73 tC/（a?km2）之间,挺水植物为15.68~453.01 tC/（a?km2）,平均值为76.74 tC/（a?km2）。按平均值计算会仙湿地水生植物光合作用固定HCO3-碳量为4 466.27 tC/a,即在会仙湿地岩溶地下河补给的HCO3-中约47 %被水生植物光合作用固定。水生植物光合作用固碳效果明显,是碳汇研究中不容忽视的一个十分重要的问题。

基于EMD的云南东川蒋家沟泥石流年输沙量多时间尺度分析

基于经验模态分解(EMD)方法,对云南东川蒋家沟泥石流1965年至2004年40年的年输沙量时间序列进行多时间尺度分析,该时间序列分解成3个本征模函数(IMF)分量和趋势项(Res)分量。分析表明：蒋家沟泥石流的年输沙量存在多尺度的周期性波动,分别是2~4 a、6~10 a和17~21 a的准周期。通过对各IMF分量和Res趋势项分析发现,自1985年之后,波动的振幅开始变大,表明蒋家沟泥石流的年输沙量变化很大。降雨对蒋家沟泥石流的年输沙量及周期性波动有一定程度的影响。人类活动改变环境的同时,也为蒋家沟泥石流提供固体物质来源,这使得蒋家沟泥石流的年输沙量周期性波动变得更加复杂。

Climate warming-induced upward shift of Moso bamboo population on Tianmu Mountain, China

Although increasing attention has been paid to upward shift of plant species in altitude as a response to global warming, research on this phenomenon at low altitudinal and low latitudinal zones did not receive enough attention. In this study, an investigation was carried out to test the relationship between the upward spread of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) along altitudinal gradient and the increasing air temperature over the past decade within the Tianmu Mountain region, situated in southeastern China. Results showed that the peak elevation of Moso bamboo population establishment rose by an average of 9.8 m (±2.7 m) during the past decade and significant correlation existed with mean annual temperature (P < 0.0001, n = 339) but not with annual precipitation (P = 0.7, n = 339), indicating that the upward shift of Moso bamboo along altitudinal gradients was driven primarily by warming temperatures. This upward shift could potentially reduce biodiversity by altering the species composition of the ecosystem. However, there is also the potential for increased carbon sequestration capacity of local forest systems, which would produce an additional carbon sink to combat rising atmospheric CO₂ concentrations and future global warming.
