Effect of non-linear soil deformation on the interaction among energy piles

This study investigates the effect of non-linear soil deformation on the displacement interaction among energy piles. The work is based on interaction factor analyses of full-scale pile group tests, whose results are compared with experimental evidence. The results presented highlight the tendency of interaction factor analyses that ignore non-linear soil deformation to overestimate the interaction and the displacement of energy pile groups. This outcome, in accordance with previous studies for conventional pile groups subjected to mechanical loads, may be considered in the analysis and design of energy pile groups subjected to thermal (and mechanical) loads through the interaction factor method.     

耗散大气中水平不均匀风场对内重力波传播的影响

采用包括耗散的射线跟踪方法,计算了在水平不均匀风场作用下,不同尺度重力波从对流层直至220km观测高度的传播,结果表明,垂直于重力波传播方向的风以及风剪切能够引起波射线的折射,从而导致重力波明显偏离初始传播方向.在强顺风场作用下,由于风场引起的捕获,大量重力波不能传播到观测高度.由于风场引起的多普勒频移,小周期的重力波在弱顺风条件下能够传播到观测高度.由于反射作用,强逆风场不支持周期低于约18min的较高频重力波的传播.而在弱逆风作用下,大部分中尺度范围重力波都能够传播到观测高度.本文统计了武汉电离层观象台的TID观测数据随热层风场的分布,统计结果与模拟结果符合较好.

岩石嵌固掏挖基础抗拔承载特性及其影响因素研究

岩石嵌固掏挖基础目前已经广泛应用于电力基础工程中。原状土由于受扰动较小,胶结性强,具有良好的抗剪强度,对掏挖基础抗拔承载力具有重要影响,因此研究原状土参数变化对基础上拔承载性能的影响规律具有重要意义。结合现场试验,建立数值模型,研究土体黏聚力、内摩擦角、弹性模量对基础上拔承载性能的影响规律。研究表明:土体内摩擦角和黏聚力对基础抗拔承载力具有较大影响,而弹性模量影响程度较低;参数的变化对土体塑性区发展规律影响较小。

Granule ripples in the Kumtagh Desert,China: Morphology,grain size and influencing factors

Granule ripples are found mainly in four regions of the Kumtagh Desert in China; they are characterized by an asymmetrical shape, with gentle lower slopes on both sides and abrupt crests. The ripples tend to be oriented perpendicular to the prevailing winds, except when they form near obstacles such as yardangs. The wavelengths (λ) range between 0·31 m and 26 m and heights (h) range from 0·015 m to 1 m. The relationship between wavelength and height can be described by a simple linear function, and the mean ripple index (λ/h) is about 20·4 for the study sites. The sediments are poorly sorted, with negative to very negative skewness at lee and stoss slopes and between‐ripple troughs, which confirms the ‘poured in’ and ‘shadow’ appearance described by previous researchers. The bimodal or trimodal distributions of grains (with modes of ?1·16φ, ?0·5φ and 3·16φ) and the enrichment of coarse particles at the ripple surface (with coarse granule contents ranging between 5·2% and 62·1%) indicate that the underlying layer is the original sediment source and that the granule ripples resist erosional processes. Although the impact of saltating particles and, consequently, the creep and reptation of coarse grains are responsible for granule ripple initiation at a micro‐scale, however, the characteristics of local sediments, wind regimes and topographical obstacles, as well as the feedbacks among bedform and airflow, more strongly affect the development and alignment of granule ripples at a macro‐scale.     

Energy distributions of the large-scale horizontal currents caused by wind in the baroclinic ocean

Wind is the main energy source for the generation of the internal waves and the ocean mixing. Wunsch[1] estimated that about 1 TW (1 TW = 1012 W) energy was transported into the ocean from the winds by us-ing the altimeter data. Watanabe et al.[2] numerically calculated that the mixing processes obtained 0.7 TW energy from the global wind, which afforded most of the energy needed by the maintenance of the Merid-ional Overturning Circulation (MOC). During the past 50 years, in the Norther…     

超长灌注桩桩-土界面剪切试验研究

为研究超长灌注桩桩侧与土体接触界面的剪切力学行为,采用大型界面剪切仪,开展混凝土与粉质黏土、粉细砂土接触界面剪切试验。针对钻孔灌注桩泥浆护壁施工特点及后注浆工艺的应用,在混凝土与粉细砂土界面设置膨润土泥皮或膨润土泥皮与水泥浆,以研究泥皮及存在泥皮时注浆对界面剪切性状的影响。试验结果表明：界面剪切应力随剪切位移增加逐步达到极限值,之后,剪切应力保持基本不变或出现软化现象;土体类型及法向应力大小对界面剪切力学行为具有较大的影响;粉细砂土-混凝土界面摩擦角与土体有效内摩擦角相近,存在泥皮时,界面摩擦角降低达40%,泥皮的润滑作用较大地削弱了界面的剪切性能;存在泥皮情况下,注浆后界面摩擦角较泥皮界面提高近1倍,水泥浆的注入不仅消除了泥皮产生的不利影响,也有利于进一步改善界面剪切性能,提高其抗剪强度;泥皮及注浆对界面剪切应力与剪切位移关系亦有较大的影响;界面剪切作用对土体具有一定的影响范围,并在接触界面附近土体中逐渐形成剪切破坏带,剪切过程中界面呈现出由剪切位移阶段逐步过渡至剪切滑移阶段;此外,在剪切过程中,不同界面类型的土体变形存在较大差异。     

A local model for analysis of pump and treat systems with vertical barrier walls

We present a mathematical model of local, steady groundwater flow near a vertical barrier wall. Flow features represented in the model include an impermeable arc-shaped barrier wall and multiple wells; distant boundary conditions are not included explicitly, but their effects on the local flow field are modelled by specifying a uniform flow at infinity and a constant areal recharge within a local domain. We develop an explicit closed-form solution to the boundary-value problem using the analytic element method. The solution is an extension of a harmonic solution presented by Anderson and Mesa [Anderson EI, Mesa E. The effects of vertical barrier walls on the hydraulic control of contaminated groundwater. Adv Water Resourc 2006;29(1):89–98] which does not include the effects of recharge. We demonstrate that the general solution with recharge consists of the harmonic solution superposed on a special case of the harmonic solution along with two elementary one-dimensional flow solutions. The results are used to investigate the effects of areal recharge on the capture zone envelopes of the pumping wells and on the reduction in discharge that can be achieved by including a barrier wall in a pump and treat design. We find that the benefits of including an open barrier wall in a design, measured as a reduction in the pumping rate required to contain a plume, increase for higher recharge rates. Dimensionless plots of capture zone envelopes are presented for a practical well and barrier wall configuration.
