高液限土路堤填筑的双指标控制方法研究

对于高液限土（包括改良的高液限土）填筑的路堤只用单一的压实度指标控制常常易导致质量隐患。通过试验研究提出一个采用空气率Va和压实度Dc双指标控制高液限土路堤填筑质量的方法,并给出了具体的控制标准。当压实度控制指标Dc≥93%时,高液限黏土和粉土空气率控制标准为4%≤Va≤8%,含砂高液限黏土和粉土空气率控制标准为6%≤Va≤13%。通过系统的试验研究,验证了双指标质量控制的可行性和有效性。研究结果表明,采用空气率和压实度双指标控制,不仅可以保证高液限土填筑路堤的强度和刚度,而且具有较好的水稳定性,为进一步充分利用高液限土作为路堤填料提供了技术支持。

Predictive modeling of the permafrost thermal regime in Russian railroad subgrade support systems

The goal of a predictive thermotechnical calculation is to model the behavior of the top permafrost boundary under current operational conditions as well as increasing average annual air temperatures that results in degradation of the permafrost layer. Numerical modeling was used to assess the efficient application of construction measures to create sustainable operation of the railroad. The numerical modeling was carried out in the programming complex FEM-models developed by geotechnical engineers of St. Petersburg, Russia under Prof. V. M. Ulitsky’s guidance. The Termoground Program as a part of the FEM-models enables the research of freezing, heaving and thawing in different design solutions. Research was carried out in space resolution for a year cycle. The performed model has shown that the designing measures accepted for permafrost protection from retreat in the subgrade support were generally effective.     

Research on EPS application to very wide highway embankments in permafrost regions

In order to maintain the thermal stability of very wide highway embankments in permafrost regions, the thermal isolation material EPS is often utilized. To examine the effects of this insulation on the China National Highway (G214), two-dimensional finite element analysis of temperature fields was conducted for varying widths of highway embankments with and without EPS insulation. The numerical results show that in permafrost regions the effect of thermal aggregation on asphalt pavement is more obvious when highway embankments are wider, and, specifically for the G214 highway, the insulation should be more than 25 cm thick for 24-m-wide embankments. However, considering other factors such as the structural rationality of the embankments and high engineering costs, it might not be feasible to install EPS insulation in 24-m-wide embankments of the G214 highway when the height of the embankments is less than 3.65 m.

Discussion on the relationship between longitudinal cracks and alignment of subgrade in permafrost regions

At present, embankment longitudinal cracks are a major problem in highways through permafrost regions, and seriously affect traffic safety and the normal operations of the highway. In the past, roadbed height in permafrost regions was relatively low, and embankment cracks were rare and did not affect traffic safety. Thus, highway designers and researchers paid little attention to this problem, and they knew very little about distribution laws and mechanism of embankment longitudinal cracks. Due to this lack of knowledge, there is no uniform opinion on this problem, making it difficult to find measures that will mediate the impact of longitudinal cracks. Temperature is a major factor that affects and controls embankment stability in permafrost regions, especially in ice-rich and high-temperature regions, and solar radiation is the principal factor that determines surface temperatures. Under higher embankment, the difference of temperature will be larger between a sunny slope and a shady slope. Hence, the probability for longitudinal cracks generation is higher. In this paper, a survey and analysis of longitudinal cracks along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway were carried out. The longitudinal cracks are found to be related to the road strikes. Solar radiation is considered to play an important role in the generation of longitudinal cracks.     

降雨入渗条件下粗粒土路堤暂态饱和区发展规律及稳定性研究

为了分析降雨入渗条件下粗粒土路堤暂态饱和区发展规律及稳定性,结合工程实际及气象资料,通过拟定不同的降雨计算方案,采用饱和-非饱和渗流理论对粗粒土路堤边坡在不同降雨条件下雨水入渗过程进行数值模拟.研究结果表明:降雨过程中路堤边坡表面会形成一定范围的暂态饱和区,暂态饱和区的形成及发展过程与降雨强度及降雨时间密切相关;降雨入渗仅会引起路堤边坡坡面以下水位线的大幅上升,对路堤中部地下水位线影响较小;降雨停止后,路堤上部暂态饱和区迅速消散,而路堤中下部暂态饱和区消散过程则表现出明显的滞后特征,但总体而言暂态饱和区的面积呈下降趋势;降雨入渗将导致入渗区域内基质吸力的丧失与含水率的增加,是造成路堤边坡稳定性降低的主要因素,路堤的失稳形式表现为整体滑移与表面局部坍塌相结合.     

Wharf embankment and strengthening program at the Port of Oakland

The wharf and embankment strengthening program (WESP) is a structural modification project involving approximately 12,000 linear feet of pile-supported, marginal wharf structures. WESP is necessary because the Port of Oakland plans to deepen its berths from −42′ mean lower low water (MLLW) to −52′ MLLW, in conjunction with a Federal Government-sponsored channel dredging project. Unless they are structurally reinforced prior to the dredging, the waterfront components (i.e. wharves and embankments) will be weakened by the berth deepening project. WESP is a three-phase program that establishes the existing structural and seismic capacities of waterfront components, develops designs for improvements necessary to maintain these capacities after the berth deepening, and constructs the improvements. WESP also includes consideration of seismic upgrade improvements. The Port is currently completing the first phase of the WESP program. This paper will describe the design criteria, project phasing, construction type of waterfront components, project organization, and results to date for WESP.
