A two-month seabed-mounted observation(YSG1 area) was carried out in the western Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass(YSCWM) using an RDI-300 K acoustic Doppler current profiler(ADCP) placed at a water depth of 38 m in late summer, 2012. On August 2012, Typhoon Bolaven passed east of YSG1 with a maximum wind speed of 20 m s-1. The water depth, bottom temperature, and profile current velocities(including u, v and w components) were measured, and the results showed that the typhoon could induce horizontal current with speed greater than 70 cm s-1 in the water column, which is especially rare at below 20 meters above bottom(mab). The deepening velocity shear layer had an intense shear velocity of around 10 cm s-1 m-1, which indicated the deepening of the upper mixed layer. In the upper water column(above 20 mab), westward de-tide current with velocity greater than 30 cm s-1 was generated with the typhoon's onshore surge, and the direction of current movement shifted to become southward. In the lower water column, a possible pattern of eastward compensation current and delayed typhoon-driven current was demonstrated. During the typhoon, bottom temperature variation was changed into diurnal pattern because of the combined influence of typhoon and tidal current. The passage of Bolaven greatly intensified local sediment resuspension in the bottom layer. In addition, low-density particles constituted the suspended particulate matter(SPM) around 10 mab, which may be transported from the central South Yellow Sea by the typhoon. Overall, the intensive external force of the Typhoon Bolaven did not completely destroy the local thermocline, and most re-suspended sediments during the typhoon were restricted within the YSCWM. 相似文献
Beach nourishment is a common coastal management strategy used to protect beach from erosion along the sandy coastlines. This method has been successfully applied to an emergency project at the West Beach of Beidaihe in the summer of 2008 and the full West Beach nourishment project in 2009-2010, which is the direct base of this study. Some basic information about the emergency engineering area at the Middle Beach is firstly described. The shoreline change of this area, including the analysis of beach width in five monitoring profiles in the bathing places of Middle Beach, is then discussed. After that a numerical model based on one-line theory is established and the numerical results agree well with the measured shorelines, which indicates that the model is appropriate and is qualified to predict the shoreline change of the Middle Beach. With the same model and parameters, long-term performance of the project is predicted, and the result shows that without follow-up nourishment and project, the bathing places can remain suitable for bathing for about 10 a. It is suggested to nourish the beach in time and carry out the beach nourishment project for the full Middle Beach in Beidaihe. 相似文献
The concentration of suspended load can be determined by its linear relationship to turbidity. Our results present the basic
distribution of suspended load in North Yellow Sea. In summer, the suspended load concentration is high along the coast and
low in the center of the sea. There are four regions of high concentration in the surface layer: Penglai and Chengshantou
along the north of the Shandong Peninsula, and the coastal areas of Lüshun and Changshan Islands. There is a 2 mg/L contour
at 124°E that separates the North Yellow Sea from regions of lower concentrations in the open sea to the west. And there is
a 2 mg/L contour at 124°E that separates the North Yellow Sea from regions of lower concentrations in the open sea to the
west. The distribution features in the 10 m and bottom layer are similar to the surface layer, however, the suspended load
concentration declines in the 10 m layer while it increases in the bottom layer. And in the bottom layer there is a low suspended
load concentration water mass at the region south of 38°N and east of 123°E extending to the southeast. In general, the lowest
suspended load concentration in a vertical profile is at a depth of 10 to 20 m, the highest suspended load concentration is
in the bottom near Chengshantou area.
In winter, the distribution of suspended load is similar to summer, but the average concentrations are three times higher.
There are two tongue-shaped high suspended load concentration belt, one occurring from surface to seafloor, extends to the
north near Chengshantou and the other invades north to south along the east margin of Dalian Bay. They separate the low suspended
load concentration water masses in the center of North Yellow Sea into east and west parts. Vertical distribution is quite
uniform in the whole North Yellow Sea because of the cooling effect and strong northeast winds. The distribution of suspended
load has a very close relationship to the current circulation and wind-induced waves in the North Yellow Sea. Because of this,
we have been able to show for the first time that the distribution of suspended load can be used to identify water masses. 相似文献
The settlement of highway embankments can directly affect the structural safety of road pavement. Comprehensive assessment of the long-term settlement characteristics of highway embankments is important in highway safety management. The present study conducted long-term settlement monitoring in an embankment of the Xi’an-Xianyang Highway in Shaanxi Province, China, that was constructed with recycled construction and demolition waste. Variations in sectional settlement, cumulative settlement, differential settlement, and settlement rates were made in a barricade section and an arc-shaped protective slope section. The maximum settlement observed in the barricade section was 51.75 mm, with the embankment exhibiting “basin-shaped” settlement. The maximum settlement in the arc-shaped protective slope section was 42.22 mm, and the embankment exhibited “W-shaped” settlement. Furthermore, there were two stages of great increase in the settlement rate. Based on the results, control standards for the sectional settlement of embankments constructed with recycled construction and demolition waste are proposed. Finally, a model for predicting the long-term settlement in road embankments constructed with recycled construction and demolition waste is established based on a Weibull distribution probability density function.
