Experimental study on settlement of model piles in frozen soil under dynamic loading

From the point of view of application, the definition of hot spot was given first. The solid geophysical evidence suggested that the Daxiawan (great gorge) in Yarlung Zangbo River should be a hot spot, which is a special region with high ground temperature, low density, low magnetism, negative gravity abnormality, frequent earthquake and strong tectonics. According to the data available, the center of the hot spot was preliminarily decided. The difference between the ground surface and air temperature in January is negatively correlated with the distance from the hot spot center to the meteorological station. According to the ground surface energy balance equation, the geothermal flux in the center of hot spot is about 25 W/m². Further analysis suggested that Daxiawan is a pilot region of climate change as well as the region of the heaviest rainfall and highest latitude of tropical fmt in the world.
