盾构法联络通道密封垫设计及防水试验研究

为探究适合盾构法联络通道工程的密封垫断面形式,以宁波市轨道交通3号线第1条盾构法联络通道为工程背景,针对遇水膨胀橡胶设计阴阳凹凸、圆形孔洞、梳形、矩形等4类断面。对各断面形式进行可行性分析,选取阴阳凹凸断面与矩形断面作为初选方案。利用Abaqus/Explicit计算模块对2种断面的接触应力进行有限元分析,通过设计“一”字缝耐水压力试验,验证数值模拟中接触应力较大的矩形断面的防水能力。研究表明： 1）数值模拟结果显示,接触面最大接触应力与平均接触应力均随着张开量的增加而减小; 同等张开量与错台量下,在压缩与膨胀2个阶段中,矩形断面的接触应力均大于阴阳凹凸断面,因此选取矩形断面作为备选方案。2）“一”字缝耐水压力试验结果表明,矩形断面密封垫保压48 h后耐水压力明显提升,且张开量越大耐水压力提升幅度越大。3）综合数值模拟与试验结果可知,该矩形断面密封垫满足0.6 MPa的防水要求。     

考虑相变过程岩体孔隙率对寒区隧道温度场时空规律影响研究

为研究寒区隧道围岩在持续低温作用或冻融循环作用过程中,考虑岩体相变过程中多相体各组分变化引起的岩石热学参数差异对围岩温度场时空变化规律的影响,利用已有岩体未冻水含量研究成果,进一步推导不同孔隙率下岩体的热学参数计算公式。基于多孔介质模型建立考虑相变过程的围岩温度场计算模型,分析考虑潜热时不同孔隙率下围岩冻结缘的空间形态变化规律,及相变过程对温度场的影响。研究结果表明： 1）饱和岩体孔隙率越高,对岩体整体热学参数影响越大; 2）低温持续作用围岩时,冻结缘向围岩深处移动并不断变宽,其宽度与其深度呈线性关系; 3）饱和围岩孔隙率对冻结缘移动速度影响较大,但对其宽度基本无影响; 4）由于相变潜热,岩体在冻融循环过程中围岩温度时程曲线出现不对称阶梯状形态,且其阶梯形状宽度与围岩孔隙率呈正相关; 5）冻融循环过程中,升温及降温过程中冻结缘临近岩体温度梯度存在差异引起的传热效率不同直接导致升温、降温时程曲线的不对称性特征出现; 6）沿硐室围岩径向向外,各处围岩体的温度时程函数与加载的温度函数存在着振幅衰减和相位滞后的现象,且岩体孔隙率越高该现象越明显。     

垂直水幕作用下扩建地下水封油库布局方式研究

为研究垂直水幕对扩建地下水封油库布局方式的影响,以某大型地下水封洞库分期建设工程为依托,采用有限元数值模拟方法,对有、无垂直水幕条件下扩建洞库的布局方式进行研究。研究结果表明： 1）当两期洞库间距较小时,在两期洞库之间设置垂直水幕可有效削弱拟建洞库对已建洞库水封可靠性的影响,随两期洞库间距的增加,垂直水幕的影响性逐渐减弱; 2）拟建洞库轴线方向对水封可靠性的影响受地形等条件的影响较大,在两期洞库之间设置垂直水幕对水封可靠性的影响较小; 3）随拟建洞库埋深的增加,拟建洞库的水封可靠性逐渐增强,已建洞库的水封可靠性却呈逐步减小趋势,在两期洞库之间设置垂直水幕可有效减小埋深对两期洞库水封可靠性的影响。     

地下工程平衡稳定理论再研究

目前,地下工程结构在计算分析方面主要采用传统松弛荷载理论（类似荷载结构法）和数值分析法;在合理结构构造、施工工法等方面主要采用岩承理论（类似地层结构法）,这些已有理论或方法隐含“变形协调控制”假定,实际应用中往往将这些假定忽视,因而需进一步发展新的理论方法以适应实际应用的需求。在大量工程实践和试验的基础上,揭示地下工程有效承载结构层与围岩荷载转移规律之间的关联性,建立地下工程平衡稳定理论,此理论既能反映传统“松弛荷载理论”和现代“岩承理论”的基本内容,又能拓宽平衡稳定性等内容,是地下工程平衡稳定性的新认识、新理念; 同时提出能量控制技术、预支护技术、受力独立性综合技术、变形协调控制技术4项关键技术。将这些技术合理地运用到实际工程施工中,将便于利用已有或新成果分类预防和控制地下工程质量和安全,为解决新型地下工程问题提供新的依据。

Mechanism of Tunnel Water Inflow Caused by Bending Failure of a Waterproof Dike Based on a Circular Thin Plate Mechanical Model北大核心CSCD

Water bursts during tunnel construction endanger construction, and it is therefore necessary to reserve a waterproof dike with the required thickness to avoid water bursts and to take reinforcement of the dike and treatment of the structure liable to trigger a water burst. Using the water burst at K5+398 of the Mingyueshan tunnel of the Shanghai-Chengdu expressway as an example, and considering the type of tunnel section and the upright mudstone of the dike, the waterproof dike at the work face is simplified as a round thin plate. A formula for the calculation of a minimum safety thickness for the critical waterproof dike is deduced by analyzing the force applied on the water-proof dike, and the minimum safety thickness for the water burst section at K5+398 of the Mingyueshan tunnel is cal-culated. The numerical simulation analysis demonstrates the critical thickness of waterproof dike at K5+398 of the Mingyueshan tunnel is 1.4-1.55 m, and the calculated water inflow and water burst basically agree with the actual condition. © 2018, Editorial Office of "Modern Tunnelling Technology".

Model Test on Grouting Law in Dynamic Water-Rich Sand Layers by the Electric Resistance Method北大核心CSCD

In order to study the diffusion law of grouting slurry in the water-rich sand layer under flowing water conditions, a grouting test model consisting of a main test system, a grouting system, and a measurement system was developed. And for detecting the diffusion scope of the grouts, a new resistivity method was proposed. It is found that the relationship between grouting pressure and grouting rate during the test is strong. Under hydrodynamic conditions, the grouting slurry diffuses elliptically. Due to gravity and the effect of the upper water flow, the center of gravity of the ellipsoid is below the grouting outlet, and the grouting effectively improves the physical and mechanical properties of water-rich sand bodies. At the same time, the resistivity method has a good application effect on the detection of grouting diffusion range. The range of slurry diffusion obtained by the resistivity method is basically consistent with the boundary of the stone body after excavation, indicating that the resistivity method is reliable for detection of grouting range in dynamic water-rich sand layer. © 2018, Editorial Office of "Modern Tunnelling Technology".

Shaping the Coast with Permits: Making the State Regulatory Permitting Process Transparent with Text Mining

This paper examines the California Coastal Commission's permitting process. Using several text mining techniques, including web scraping, information extraction, and supervised classification, I demonstrate how to retrieve empirical data from unstructured texts, namely public meeting agendas and staff reports. Contrary to the concern that the Commission routinely delays or rejects permitting requests, the data reveal that outright rejection of permit applications is rare. On average, eight of ten applications were approved. Single-family homes and commercial development projects were approved about 80% of the time; the rates were about 70% for seawalls and retaining walls, and 60% for land-use changes. Most applications were processed swiftly, with a median application length of 3 months. The agency's influence comes primarily from negotiating each application. Qualitative study of 50 cases pertaining to single-family home construction reveals that the agency adopts a “managed development” approach, that is, allowing development but scrupulously managing various aspects of development. These case studies illustrate how the agency interprets the broad, abstract state laws and translates the mandates into enforceable actions as permitting conditions. In areas where the state mandates conflict, particularly over development in receding shorelines, the agency has the largest leverage in creating and implementing its preferred policies. The text mining techniques demonstrated in this paper can be applied to study any governmental agency. These techniques help to extract information from a massive volume of papers and organize them into a database for analyses. The empirical data extracted from texts can significantly increase bureaucratic transparency.     

Mathematically calculating the transit time of cargo through a liner shipping network with various trans-shipment policies

This paper derives the mathematical expressions for the transit time of cargo through a liner shipping network. Main efforts are devoted to deriving the calculation expressions of the connection time of cargo during trans-shipment. For the forward and many-to-one trans-shipment policies, we conduct a minor correction towards the expressions in existing studies to improve the completeness. Meanwhile, we propose an alternative but more straightforward calculation method for connection time which bypasses the complicated inductive argument in existing studies. Then we introduce two new trans-shipment policies: backward trans-shipment and one-to-many trans-shipment, and mathematically calculate the corresponding connection times. Numerical experiments also deliver some managerial insights into the effectiveness of backward trans-shipment in transit time control.
