Seismic response analysis of aqueducts with consideration of fluid solid coupling

WANG Bo1,CHEN Huai1,XU Wei1, PENG Ji hui1

(1.School of Environment and Water Conservancy, Zhengzhou Univ., Zhengzhou 45000 2,China;2.Shanghai Water Authority, Shanghai 200040,China)

Abstract

Based on the shell-beam element dynamic model for aqueducts with consideration of the fluid-solid coupling, the seismic response of an aqueduct structure in the South to North Water Transfer Middle Line Project was calculated. T he results indicate that seismic response of the aqueduct structure grows with the rise of water level, and that the transverse seismic response and the relative rotation of expansion joints decrease, but the rotation angle of the aqueduct section around the longitudinal axis increases when the fluid-solid coupling is taken into account. Therefore, the fluid solid coupling is of great influences on the seismic response of the aqueduct structure. As a result, it is proposed that the fluid solid coupling dynamic model with different water levels considered should be used in the calculation of the seismic response, and that the seismic response of aqueducts under different shock waves should be calculated for comprehensive reflection of the behavior of aqueducts in actual earthquakes.

Robustness of polynomial normal transforms in flood frequency analysis district

LIANG Zhong-min, DAI Chang-jun

(Key Laboratory of Water Resources Development of Ministry of Education, Hohai Univ., Nanjing 210098, China)

Abstract

The statistical robustness of the polynomial normal transforms (PNT) w as investigated by use of the Monte-Carlo simulation technique, and the comparison between the linear moment (L-M) method and the PNT method was presented. The results indicate that the PNT method is superior to the L-M method in unbiasness, but slightly inferior to the L-M method in effectiveness for contaminated samples, and that the advantage of the PNT method is more obvious to samples with larger contaminated ratio. Therefore, if samples are contaminated or population distribution is unknown, the PNT method is more likely to provide a better estimation.

(1.State Key Lab. of Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering Science, Wuhan U niversity, Wuhan 430072, China; 2. Central Southern China Electrical Power Desig n Institute, Wuhan 430071, China) 

Abstract

In consideration of the fact that the flood water level of some hydrological sections on the middle and lower Yangtze River, such as the Luoshan secti on and the Chenglingji section, has been raised sharply, and the duration of high water level has been prolonged during the past 50 years, a statistical calculation and analysis was made of a great deal of measured data about water level, f low rate, sediment concentration, bed configuration, and etc. The result shows t hat the variation of flood water level on the middle and lower Yangtze River is closely related to river bed evolution, and that the river bed deposition and variation of channel configuration are the main reasons of water level rise and long duration of high water level.

(School of Materials & Metallurgy,Northeastern University,Shenyang 110004,China)

Abstract

A control strategy for singleª²neuron fuzzy self-adaptive controllers was designed by combination of fuzzy control with neural control. The strategy made full use of the nonlinear approximation of fuzzy logic and the selfadaptability of neural control. The application of the strategy to the simulation of operation process of mixed flow generating units at a hydropower station in two cases shows that the control strategy is of good dynamic performance and adaptability as compared with the conventional PID control system.

Dealing with leakage of Xibing roller compacted concrete thin arch dam

YE Yuan-xin, LIU Guang-ting, LI Peng-hui, CHEN Feng-qi

(Department of Hydraulic and Hydropower Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijin g 100084, China)

Abstract

          In allusion to the serious leakage occurring in the Xibing dam body after water impoundment, the causes of leakage were analyzed, with emphasis on the measures for seepage control adopted for treatment of inter-layer defects, such as boring from the top toward the bottom of the dam body and placement of grout holes perpendicular to the joint face. In consideration of the objectives of the project, special requirements of construction were put forward, including prolonging low-concentration grouting to ensure the sufficient grouting in small pores, avoiding the adoption of batch-type grouting to improve the grouting efficiency, and without setting the upper limit of the time and total amount of grout filling in single holes. The survey of the dam after grouting shows that there is no leakage from the original seepage points, demonstrating the good effect of construction.

Abstract

 In consideration of the particularity of quality detection of water stop curtains, an introduction was given to the composition and detecting principle of the ground penetrating radar system, parameter selection for apparatus, arrangement of surveying line, and methods for data acquisition, processing and explanation. The effectiveness of the ground penetrating radar in quality detection was demonstrated by its use in practical projects, and it was proved to be an important measure for quality detection of water stop curtains. It is proposed that, apart from some long surveying lines along the curtain, some short surveying lines should be set perpendicular to the curtain at some places, and that antennas of high frequency and mid range frequency should be cooperatively used. Moreover, the continuous work pattern should be adopted to meet the requirement of high transverse resolution, and field tests should be carried out to obtain a precise dielectric permittivity based on the data of geological bores. Then, the corresponding velocity parameter could be obtained to provide a basis for time depth conversion.

water supply  reconstruction project

ZENG Jin-hong

(Construction Headquarters of Dong Shen Water Supply Reconstruction Project in Guangdong Province, Dongguan 523710, China) ª¤

Abstract

An introduction was given to the optimal design scheme of the new sealing structure¡ªthe water sealing with composite rubber clip plate. The characteristics of the structure, the procedure of its installation, and the method of it s construction were analyzed. It was pointed out that the design of U-shaped section for the sealing belt should be based on the deformation of expansion joints , that its thickness and strength should be rationally designed so that the structure could bear the water pressure of 0.06MPa, and that the GB seal plates should be agglutinated with concrete at bottom. Practices show that the present sealing structure is rational in design and convenient in construct ion and has good effect, providing some references for design and construction of expansion joint sealing structures in similar water diversion projects in China.

Abstract

Mix proportion design and laboratory performance tests of the silica fume concrete were carried out according to the requirement of concrete design for base plate of the diversion tunnel for ¡°635¡± hydro-power project. The result showed that the compressive strength, flexural strength, and resistance to abrasion and cavitation of the concrete mixed with HLC II I silica fume admixture at 28 days increased by 87.1%, 10.6% and 97.5%, respectively as compared with those of the normal concrete, and that the bond property was improved by treatment of the interface of fresh and original concrete with polyacrylic emulsion cement mortar. Meanwhile, the optimal silica fume-concrete mix proportion suitable for the construction was determined based on field tests. Owing to the adoption of such measures as mixing, transportation, and foundation surface treatment, the quality of silica fume concrete was guaranteed under high temperature and evaporation.

Study on prediction of concrete carbonation depth of Weishui inverted siphon project

DU Ying-ji, LIANG Zheng-ping 

(College of Civil Engineering, Hohai Univ., Nanjing 210098, China)

Abstract

For comparison of the adaptability and accuracy of the compressive strengthª²based forecasting models of concrete carbonation depth, the models were adopted to forecast the concrete carbonation depth for the Weishui project according to the field data of temperature, humidity, and density of CO2 of the project and the strength of concrete core samples from field detection. The comparison of forecast results with measured data shows that the forecasting mo del, presented by NIU Di-tao, et al, is accurate in forecasting for low-strength concrete, that the forecasting model, presented by DI Xiao-tan, et al. well accords with the reality in forecasting for high-strength concrete, while the forecast result of the Smolczyk model is obviously larger than the measured data. Moreover, it is considered that to establish a model for the relationship between the carbonation depth and age-dependent compressive strength of concrete is of great significance as compared to develop a model for the relationship between the carbonation depth and the compressive strength of concrete at 28d.

Abstract

The plastic cracking performance of dry-sprayed polypropylene fiber concrete used for strengthening the spillway of Mahe Reservoir was studied by in situ spraying of concrete samples. The results indicate that the mixing with low content of polypropylene fiber can reduce the plastic shrinkage and improve the freeze thaw durability of sprayed concrete, and that the bond strength of the interface between sprayed fiber concrete and the stone blocks increases with time, while it is little affected by freeze thaw cycling. It is also concluded that the rebound rate of dry-sprayed fiber concrete can be reduced obviously by adoption of rational materials and techniques.

Dynamic response analysis of start-up operation for unit regulation of left bank power station of

Three Gorges Project

ZHANG Zhi-cheng, CHEN Guang-zhou

(College of Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering, Hohai Univ., N anjing 210098, China)

Abstract

An introduction was given to the dynamic response test on some key sections in the powerhouse and diversion steel pipes in several typical operation cases during the regulation and start  up operation of No.1 unit of the power station on the left bank of the Three-Gorges. The agreement of test results with those obtained during the process of water filling process of pipes shows that the large variation of strain of steel pipes is mainly caused by the variation of water pressure in the pipes. It is also found that the dynamic response of the test sections reaches the maximum value at the moment of load rejection of the unit, while the power of vibration is low. Therefore, the normal operation of the unit will not endanger the structure of the power station.
