Dynamics of Wood Transport in Streams: A Flume Experiment

The influence of woody debris on channel morphology and aquatic habitat has been recognized for many years. Unlike sediment, however, little is known about how wood moves through river systems. We examined some dynamics of wood transport in streams through a series of flume experiments and observed three distinct wood transport regimes: uncongested, congested and semi-congested. During uncongested transport, logs move without piece-to-piece interactions and generally occupy less than 10 per cent of the channel area. In congested transport, the logs move together as a single mass and occupy more than 33 per cent of the channel area. Semi-congested transport is intermediate between these two transport regimes. The type of transport regime was most sensitive to changes in a dimensionless input rate, defined as the ratio of log volume delivered to the channel per second (Q_log) to discharge (Q_W); this ratio varied between 0·015 for uncongested transport and 0·20 for congested transport. Depositional fabrics within stable log jams varied by transport type, with deposits derived from uncongested and semi-congested transport regimes having a higher proportion of pieces orientated normal to flow than those from congested transport. Because wood input rates are higher and channel dimensions decrease relative to piece size in low-order channels, we expect congested transport will be more common in low-order streams while uncongested transport will dominate higher-order streams. Single flotation models can be used to model the stability of individual pieces, especially in higher-order channels, but are insufficient for modelling the more complex intractions that occur in lower-order streams. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

真空-堆载联合预压法应用试验研究

对杭金衢高速公路真空-堆载联合预压工程,进行了现场试验和资料分析研究。研究表明真空预压能使地基产生较大的沉降速率,同时产生向内的水平位移,从而使真空一堆载联合预压比超载预压具有更强的抗失稳能力,侧向位移量和位移速率与荷载大小有明显的相关性。真空预压的加固深度主要是竖向排水体范围内,而真空-堆载联合预压法的加固深度则可根据堆载的附加应力比来确定。     

LINEAR QUADRATIC REGULATOR FOR STRUCTURE UNDER ON-LINE PREDICTED FUTURE SEISMIC EXCITATION

A predictive-adaptive (PA) control algorithm has been developed for a structure under a seismic excitation. This algorithm analyses information of an observed seismic excitation, estimates future structural responses and determines the control force for the structure, based on the linear quadratic regulator. That is, at a given moment t_k: (1) seismic excitation information is converted to an autoregressive model, which forms the state equation for the excitation; (2) the identification model is combined with the structural model to build a state equation in an augmented space; (3) the weighted quadratic norm of the state vector and the future control force is formed as a cost function for estimating future responses; (4) the Ricatti equation is solved to find the optimum value of the cost function; and (5) the optimum gain matrix is obtained, and the control force is determined. The PA algorithm is not restricted to one type of control system, but can be applied to both an active driver system and an active tendon system. Its effectiveness is confirmed by numerical experiments for 1DOF and 3DOF structural models under sine and seismic excitations.

加速度计及其融合高采样GNSS的低频信号测量特性研究

搭建了一套振动台系统,模拟不同频率振动信号对加速度计进行测试,并从信号功率谱密度和积分位移2个方面对其低频测量特性进行分析。实验表明,当振动信号频率高于0.05 Hz时,对加速度计信号进行高通滤波并积分能够恢复出较准确的振动位移;反之,随着信号频率的降低,积分位移误差增大。因此,为解决加速度计低频测量能力不足的问题,利用高采样GNSS与加速度计数据融合的方法,成功恢复了极低频振动信号。研究表明,振动台系统能够为地震监测研究提供良好的基础平台;加速度计准确恢复位移信号的低频下限在003~0.05 Hz左右,研究方法及结果可为加速度计频带的合理选择提供参考;同时,利用高采样GNSS与加速度计融合方法能够有效弥补加速度计低频测量能力不足的缺点,使地震低频位移更加准确可靠。

红树林防护溃坝态海啸波冲击集装箱消能试验研究

近年来海啸灾害频繁发生,对海工建筑物造成巨大损失。在以往的海啸事件中,红树林对海啸具有一定的消减作用。基于溃坝原理生成海啸波,进而研究红树林对海啸波消减作用及红树林防护下的海啸冲击集装箱的变迁表征。对闸门处溃坝研究结果表明,溃坝过程包含突然下降、相对稳定、缓慢下降三个阶段,且蓄能水位越高溃坝发生得越剧烈。海啸波冲击搬运集装箱可分为初始冲击、加速、匀速三个阶段,其动力成因包含了冲击力和浮力。红树林消减海啸波的流态表明尾涡重叠产生的紊动水流是消能的主因,合理密植、对称排布、交错排布有利于海啸波能的消减。此外,三角形交错红树林排布、海啸波强度减小、集装箱重度增加、以及海岸坡度增加均有利于减小集装箱的变迁距离。基于试验数据提出了红树林消波系数计算公式,本试验中红树林消波系数范围为0.02至0.42。
