在深厚覆盖层上建筑的高砾石土心墙堆石坝得到迅猛发展的同时,正确地认识坝体变形规律和合理地数值模拟是不可忽视的问题。堆石坝变形的影响因素多且复杂,监测成果的分析对研究上述问题具有重要意义。以硗碛大坝的监测资料为基础,结合坝体的填筑和蓄水过程,对位于深厚覆盖层上的百米级砾石土心墙堆石坝的变形规律进行了系统分析,并与其坝高、覆盖层深度、河谷宽度等方面都具有相似性的毛尔盖大坝监测资料进行了对比分析。通过分析两座大坝监测结果,对坝体的变形特性进行了规律性总结,对湿化和蠕变作用以及水库填筑和蓄水过程对坝体变形的影响有了一定认识。分析结论可为正确认识以及合理模拟和预测同类坝体的变形特性提供参考和依据。     

被动桩水平位移荷载施加位置的探讨

被动桩是指一种由于土体水平位移而发生挠曲变形的桩。目前不论是室内试验还是数值计算,常在模型边界对土体施加水平位移荷载（位移边界条件）形成土体的位移场,用来研究被动桩的变形特征,但不同研究者采用的水平位移施加位置（边界位置）与被动桩的距离存在较大差异。结合一个工程案例,采用有限单元法对水平位移加载位置进行了单变量参数分析。研究表明,随着水平位移加载位置与被动桩距离的增加,桩身变形显著减小。这表明了施加位移边界后地基中存在明显的应力扩散。当该距离小于5.5倍桩径时,在模型边界施加同等大小的水平位移所需应力显著增加。同时讨论了水平荷载加载位置与被动桩距离的合理范围,认为应在5～8倍桩径范围之内。     

Empirical prediction of coseismic landslide dam formation

In this study we develop an empirical method to estimate the volume threshold for predicting coseismic landslide dam formation using landscape parameters obtained from digital elevation models (DEMs). We hypothesize that the potential runout and volume of landslides, together with river features, determine the likelihood of the formation of a landslide dam. To develop this method, a database was created by randomly selecting 140 damming and 200 non‐damming landslides from 501 landslide dams and > 60 000 landslides induced by the M_w 7.9 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China. We used this database to parameterize empirical runout models by stepwise multivariate regression. We find that factors controlling landslide runout are landslide initiation volume, landslide type, internal relief (H) and the H/L ratio (between H and landslide horizontal distance to river, L). In order to obtain a first volume threshold for a landslide to reach a river, the runout regression equations were converted into inverse volume equations by taking the runout to be the distance to river. A second volume threshold above which a landslide is predicted to block a river was determined by the correlation between river width and landslide volume of the known damming landslides. The larger of these two thresholds was taken as the final damming threshold. This method was applied to several landslide types over a fine geographic grid of assumed initiation points in a selected catchment. The overall prediction accuracy was 97.4% and 86.0% for non‐damming and damming landslides, respectively. The model was further tested by predicting the damming landslides over the whole region, with promising results. We conclude that our method is robust and reliable for the Wenchuan event. In combination with pre‐event landslide susceptibility and frequency–size assessments, it can be used to predict likely damming locations of future coseismic landslides, thereby helping to plan emergency response.

Reconstructing historic Glacial Lake Outburst Floods through numerical modelling and geomorphological assessment: Extreme events in the Himalaya

Recession of high‐mountain glaciers in response to climatic change frequently results in the development of moraine‐dammed glacial lakes. Moraine dam failure is often accompanied by the release of large volumes of water and sediment, termed a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF). Chukhung Glacier is a small (~3 km²) receding valley glacier in Mt. Everest (Sagarmatha) National Park, Nepal. Unlike many Himalayan glaciers, which possess a thick mantle of supraglacial debris, its surface is relatively clean. The glacier terminus has receded 1.3 km from its maximum Holocene position, and in doing so provided the space for an ice‐contact moraine‐dammed lake to develop. The lake had a maximum volume of 5.5 × 10⁵ m³ and drained as a result of breaching of the terminal moraine. An estimated 1.3 × 10⁵ m³ of material was removed from the terminal moraine during breach development. Numerical dam‐breach modelling, implemented within a Generalised Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) framework, was used to investigate a range of moraine‐dam failure scenarios. Reconstructed outflow peak discharges, including failure via overtopping and piping mechanisms, are in the range 146–2200 m³ s^‐1. Results from two‐dimensional hydrodynamic GLOF modelling indicate that maximum local flow depths may have exceeded 9 m, with maximum flow velocities exceeding 20 m s^‐1 within 700 m of the breach. The floodwaters mobilised a significant amount of material, sourced mostly from the expanding breach, forming a 300 m long and 100 m wide debris fan originating at the breach exit. moraine‐dam. These results also suggest that inundation of the entire floodplain may have been achieved within ten minutes of initial breach development, suggesting that debris fan development was rapid. We discuss the key glaciological and geomorphological factors that have determined the evolution of a hazardous moraine‐dammed lake complex and the subsequent generation of a GLOF and its geomorphological impact. © 2014 The Authors.

Full-scale experimental modal analysis of an arch dam: The first experience in Iran

Forced vibration field tests and finite-element studies were conducted on the Shahid Rajaee concrete arch dam in Northern Iran to determine the dynamic properties of the dam–reservoir–foundation system. The first forced vibration tests on the dam were performed with two different types of exciter units, with a limited maximum force, bolted on the dam crest for alternative in-phase and out-of-phase sequencing. Because of an insufficient number of recording sensors, two arrangements of sensors were used to cover sufficient points on the dam crest and one gallery during tests. Two kinds of vibration tests, on–off and frequency sweeping, were carried out on the dam. The primary natural frequencies of the coupled system for both symmetric and anti-symmetric vibration modes were approximated during on–off tests in two types of sequencing of exciters, in phase and out-of-phase, with a maximum frequency of 14 Hz. The principal forced vibration tests were performed at precise resonant frequencies based on the results of the on–off tests in which sweeping around the approximated frequencies at 0.1 Hz increments was performed. Baseline correction and suitable bandpass filtering were applied to the test records and then signal processing was carried out to compute the auto power, cross power and coherence spectra. Nine middle modes of vibration of the coupled system and corresponding damping ratios were estimated. The empirical results are compared against the results from calibrated finite-element modeling of the system using former ambient vibration tests, considering the dam–reservoir–foundation interaction effects. Good agreement is obtained between experimental and numerical results for eight middle modes of the dam–reservoir–foundation system.     

青海省共和-玉树高速公路新建块石路基下的温度状况分析

块石路基是多年冻土区应用最为广泛的多年冻土路基形式. 为了研究多年冻土区修筑高速公路后块石路基的效果,选取青海省新建共和-玉树高速公路3个块石路基监测断面的实测资料,对路基修筑初期多年冻土温度状况进行了分析. 结果表明：路基修筑初期路基中心原天然地表下0.5 m处仍表现出季节变化规律,至原多年冻土上限深度处,温度波动幅度急剧减小. 块石路基的保温效果与年平均地温密切相关,年平均地温越低,对冻土的保护效果越显著. 受阴阳坡效应的影响,左路肩/坡脚温度高于右路肩/坡脚. 左右路肩及中心孔下多年冻土上限都得到不同程度的抬升,抬升幅度主要受路基高度影响,与多年冻土年平均地温没有必然关系.     

一年内列车荷载作用下冻土路基的应力分布

冻土路基土体的物理性质与温度有密切关系, 在不同的季节, 路基内的变形场和应力场会相应发生变化. 为了说明路基内变形场和应力场的季节性差异, 以青藏铁路某断面为例, 对冻土路基在有、无列车荷载两种工况下进行了数值模拟, 系统分析了两种工况下路基内的变形场和应力场特点. 结果表明: 路基修筑后, 在自重作用下会产生较大瞬时变形; 由于路基内温度场随时间变化, 路基内各点的位移也随时间发生变化, 且位移时程曲线与温度时程曲线大体呈负相关. 在有、无列车两种工况下路基竖向位移分布都是由道砟中心向路基内部逐渐减小, 但数值明显不同; 由列车荷载引起的最大竖向附加变形发生在路基顶面中心点, 在10月15日、1月15日、4月15日, 变形量分别为-4.94 mm、-3.24 mm、-2.56 mm. 对于路基底面中心点和地基浅层中心点, 由列车荷载引起的附加应力在10月15日最大、1月15日次之、4月15日最小, 附加应力最大达到19.48 kPa; 列车荷载主要影响路基上部土体应力分布, 对下部土体应力分布影响较小.

低矮路堤下膨胀土地基渗流与变形耦合研究

二维渗流与变形耦合控制方程是基于流体质量守恒、Darcy定律及膨胀土弹性本构方程得出的。结合云桂高速铁路低矮路堤下膨胀土地基现场浸水试验,并采用考虑耦合和不考虑耦合两种数值模拟方法,分析了低矮路堤下膨胀土地基的膨胀变形特性。研究结果表明,耦合情况下地基表面膨胀变形呈双曲线变化,非耦合情况下地基表面膨胀变形随时间的增加而逐渐增大,对同一时间而言,未考虑耦合效应数值模拟得到的膨胀变形落后于考虑耦合影响的膨胀变形;耦合与非耦合情况下地基的相对膨胀率沿深度方向呈衰减变化。数值计算结果与现场试验结果比较表明,不考虑耦合影响的数值模拟方法难以描述人工浸水条件下膨胀土地基的膨胀变形规律,而考虑耦合影响的数值模拟方法与现场实测值吻合较好。     

泥石流巨石冲击下的钢构格栅坝动力响应分析

泥石流中的巨石冲击是造成拦挡结构破坏的最直接因素,因此设置钢构格栅坝拦截大石块,对减小泥石流冲击破坏有十分重要的作用。本文就钢构格栅坝结构模型,利用国际通用计算动力荷载的非线性有限元软件ANSYS/LSDYNA进行数值模拟。用钢球模拟巨石,分别在格栅坝中间榀顶层梁柱节点和中间榀顶层柱中部施加冲击荷载,分析在冲击荷载作用下结构的动力响应。结果表明：作用在结构上的冲击力大小与被冲击构件刚度大小密切相关,被冲击构件刚度越大,结构受到的冲击力越大,反之,冲击力越小;钢构格栅坝在冲击作用下,冲击作用部位、结构支座部位及梁柱节点部位响应较大,设计时应予以加强;且钢构格栅坝不同位置遭受冲击作用时结构响应完全不同,与冲击力作用在梁柱节点时相比较,冲击力作用在构件中部时结构整体响应明显较小。该结果为泥石流拦挡工程中钢构格栅坝的设计提供了参考。
