黄土地区公路边坡客土喷播试验研究

陕西黄土地区具有干旱半干旱、半干旱或半湿润的气候特点,土质疏松,公路边坡易被侵蚀。2004年3~9月,禹门口-阎良高速公路采用客土喷播技术,开展了黄土边坡生态恢复试验研究。2004~2006年的观测结果表明,在该地区采取客土喷播技术,能够在公路边坡快速地建立起良好的植被,1年后植被覆盖率可以达到100%。边坡一旦建立植被,只要植物种类配比恰当,植物群落能够保持相对稳定。坡比是影响生态恢复效果的重要因素,有条件的话,宜采用1∶1的边坡。     

鲁中山区公路岩石路堑边坡植被自然恢复初步调查

为探讨公路岩石路堑边坡植被的自然恢复效果,为山区公路边坡防护设计和植被恢复设计提供参考,调查了鲁中山区的6条省道和2条国道,得到了边坡的岩石类别、风化程度,以及边坡的建设年限、坡度、坡高和边坡植被的覆盖度与优势物种,并简要分析了植被自然恢复的原因。初步结果显示:(1)花岗岩、闪长岩边坡的植被自然恢复效果远好于石灰岩边坡;(2)黄背草、荩草等为花岗岩和闪长岩边坡的优势物种,而荆条、酸枣等为石灰岩边坡的优势物种。建议:(1)对稳定的花岗岩和闪长岩边坡宜采用不妨碍植被生长的防护型式,实现植被的自然恢复;(2)对石灰岩边坡,宜采用岩石裸露处理,并穴栽灌木进行美化;(3)高速公路建设资金充裕不应成为随意扩大边坡工程防护的理由,将边坡植被自然恢复的理念应用到高速公路边坡设计中非常重要。     

基于荣乌高速烟威段的生态建设和修复技术研究

高速公路建设的迅速发展在带来很高的社会效益和经济效益的同时,对路域自然环境、对生态平衡造成的影响日益突出。本文以荣乌高速烟威段实施的绿化工程为案例,对路堑边坡、路侧裸地、受损湿地生态系统修复技术进行了探讨和研究。     

高铁简支梁桥震后抢险复旧方案研究

铁路桥梁作为重要的交通枢纽和生命线工程,对于其震后快速抢通修复具有重要现实意义。铁路桥梁具有梁体自重大、桥墩结构刚度大等特点,在近断层高烈度地震作用下极易造成支座剪断、桥墩倾斜、梁体坠落等灾害。这些灾害轻则影响桥梁结构的正常运营,重则导致结构整体破坏,并可能导致人员伤亡及线路阻断,造成恶劣的社会影响。以门源地震造成严重破坏的硫磺沟大桥为例,给出震后抢险复旧的思路和方案,通过对其震后抢险复旧方案的对比研究,确定采用新建桥梁方案。最后结合硫磺沟大桥抢险复旧的过程和经验给出简支梁桥震后抢险复旧的一些建议,为震后桥梁的快速修复抢通提供有益借鉴和启示。     

客运专线抗台风措施研究

客运专线高速车辆轻量化,使其抗强风能力减弱。为保证客运专线安全运输,从线路、路基、桥梁、隧道、站场及电气化设施等方面提出抗台风的设计原则,可采用的运输安全监控预警及运营安全措施。以上研究成果可确保沿海铁路的运营安全,进一步提高沿海铁路建设质量。     

天津滨海地区地铁工程耐久性影响因素分析

鉴于天津滨海地区地铁工程环境的复杂性和特殊性,对影响耐久性的氯离子侵蚀、硫酸盐侵蚀、杂散电流、碳化破坏和冻融破坏等主要外部工程环境因素进行了分析和阐述,主要分析了其成因、机理及现行规范中的相关规定等,为工程的耐久性设计、施工及运营提供参考借鉴。最后建议天津滨海地区地铁工程建设引入针对性的耐久性专题研究,以保证百年设计目标的顺利实现。     

Financing Beach Improvements: Comparing Two Approaches on the Georgia Coast

Fifty-five percent of Georgia's developed coastline has been armored with various types of erosion protection devices. This article is about beach improvement projects at Jekyll Island that would operate under (a) a nourishment policy or (b) a retreat policy. Benefits are calculated from an intensive, on-site survey of beach visitors and the costs are calculated from observable sources. Two financing methods are considered: general revenue and user fee financing. The analyses imply recommending beach improvement as an effective policy within the considered time frame.     

Pushing the CZMA Envelope: California: The First State to Litigate the New Federal Law

As noted often by the former California Coastal Commission Executive Director Peter Douglas, the history of how the California coast was saved is a great repository of untold stories. Although the Commission has had a dramatic and tangible impact on California's coastal geography, the public is largely unaware of many of its early accomplishments. This article begins to chronicle the rich stories of California's coastal legacy by telling the story of how the Commission utilized the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) to prevent Southern Pacific Railroad from developing a seven-mile stretch of the Monterey Bay shoreline. In so doing, the Commission helped make possible the creation of the Monterey Peninsula Recreational Trail, a public bicycle and pedestrian path that has grown to sixteen miles in length and runs through the heart of John Steinbeck's world-famous Cannery Row. The controversy also was the subject of the first judicial challenge of a state's federal authority under the CZMA and precluded private commercial and residential development that would have dramatically altered the urban form of the Monterey Peninsula. It is important to tell the story as the Coastal Commission's role in this remarkable accomplishment has been almost completely overlooked.     

海岸工程设计波要素推算方法探讨——以如东人工岛设计波要素推算为例

以如东人工岛设计波要素推算为例,分别利用历史台风天气图推算法和设计风速推算法推求不同重现期设计波要素并进行对比分析。结果表明,两种方法各有优劣,但历史台风天气图推算法的计算精度比设计风速推算法的精度差,为了安全起见,建议采用设计风速推算法。
