2000年中国地区地磁场长期变化的区域特征

本文用中国地磁场复测点和地磁台站资料,建立了2000年代中国参考地磁场长期变化模型CGRF-SV2000.模型显示,中国地区地磁场变化比较平缓,X、Y、Z、H、D、I、F七个地磁要素的“无符号平均年变率”分别为122 nT/a、82 nT/a、438 nT/a、118 nT/a、096(′)/a、299(′)/a、224 nT/a,比国际参考地磁场IGRF给出的全球年变率约小1/3到1/2.各地磁要素的变化显示,地磁北极正在向中国移近,或者说,中国正在向高地磁纬度方向移动,平均移动速度约为3(′)/a.磁偏角变化还显示,中国地区东西部偏角差异继续扩大.作为检验和对比研究,本文利用第8代国际参考地磁场（IGRF）模型,分析了全球地磁场长期变化的时空特征,讨论了全球长期变模型IGRF_SV与中国长期变模型CGRF_SV的异同点.对比分析表明,中国地区地磁场的长期变化与全球长期变化总趋势基本符合,但是,CGRF_SV也表现出一些特有的局部异常特征.     

Displacement interaction among energy piles bearing on stiff soil strata

This study presents an analysis of the displacement interaction among general configurations of energy piles bearing on stiff soil strata that are subjected to thermal loads. This work integrates recent analyses investigating the displacement interaction among predominantly floating energy piles subjected to thermal loads in deep uniform soil deposits. To address this challenge, design charts for energy piles resting on either infinitely or finitely rigid soil strata are presented, applied and validated for the analysis of the vertical displacement of predominantly end-bearing energy pile groups subjected to thermal loads using the interaction factor method.     

Experimental observations and evaluations of formulae for local scour at pile groups in steady currents

Bridge scour is recognized as one of the key factors that causes structure failures, which in turn leads to economic and life loss. In this study, flume tests of four typical arrangements of pier groups embedded in sand under steady clear water conditions were carried out to observe the process and maximum depth around piles of scour. The investigation included single pile, tandem piles, side-by-side piles, and 3 × 3 pile groups. Different conditions including different pile spacing, flow velocity, and water depth are considered. Moreover, the evaluation of design methods from the United States, New Zealand, and China was analyzed and compared through experimental and mathematical methods. The experimental results show that shielding and jetting effects are obvious in pile groups, which become less obvious with the increase of pile spacing. The dynamic process of scour around single pile and pile groups are quite different. Meanwhile, most of the predicted scour depths by these equations tend to be much larger than those from field data, which may lead to overdesign and consequently high construction cost. In addition, data from this study and some laboratory experiment data from previous work were used to derive the correction factors of a new scour prediction equation, which can be used to estimate the scour in a sand bed and agree well with the observations.     

Robust Automatic Reduction of Multibeam Bathymetric Data Based on M-estimators

Multibeam echosounders have commonly been employed for a wide range of applications including offshore survey, navigation, hydrogeology, and oceanography. Because the tremendous volume of the bathymetric data is demanding for some purposes and requires significant storage space, the data reduction plays a prominent role in practice. Additionally, the multibeam soundings are inevitably contaminated with sporadic outliers, and as such, the data cleaning can be challenging especially in shallow waters. We present a speedily robust method for reliably reducing the volume of the bathymetric data within grid cells. In this respect, robust M-estimators are recursively applied to the data in a patch-wise manner to alleviate the undesirable effects of the outlying observations. Accordingly, the reduced bathymetry is automatically made unaffected by the possible outliers once their equivalent weights have been downweighted. The performance of the presented method has been demonstrated by synthetic datasets and an experimental dataset collected by an ATLAS FS 20/100 kHz shallow-water multibeam echosounder in the offshore waters of Kish wharf. The reliability, efficiency, and capability of the proposed method have been verified, which makes it quite possible to meet the IHO requirements for special-order seafloor mapping.

Design and performance of a compacted clay barrier through a landfill

This paper presents the construction and performance details of a compacted London Clay barrier that was designed to prevent any leachate or methane penetrating a stretch of the cut and cover box section tunnel of the London Heathrow Express Rail Link. The barrier was constructed with London Clay that was spoil from concurrent bored tunnelling operations on adjacent sites. Laboratory investigations carried out on the compacted London Clay are presented in the paper. These indicated that it was possible to design the clay surround to function as a barrier protecting the structure from the ingress of the leachate. Field monitoring using magnetic extensometer gauge measurements indicate that the consequent ground movements are lower than that predicted by the laboratory tests.

Comparison of reliability and geometrical strength criteria in geodetic networks

 The proper and optimal design and subsequent assessment of geodetic networks is an integral part of most surveying engineering projects. Optimization and design are carried out before the measurements are actually made. A geodetic network is designed and optimized in terms of high reliability and the results are compared with those obtained by the robustness analysis technique. The purpose of an optimal design is to solve for both the network configuration (first-order design) and observations accuracy (second-order design) in order to meet the desired criteria. For this purpose, an analytical method is presented for performing the first-order design, second-order design, and/or the combined design. In order to evaluate the geometrical strength of a geodetic network, the results of robustness analysis are displayed in terms of robustness in rotation, robustness in shear, and robustness in scale. Results showed that the robustness parameters were affected by redundancy numbers. The largest robustness parameters were due to the observations with minimum redundancy numbers.
