Experimental Study on Detection of the Loosened Zone of Surrounding Rock in Tunnel CrownAbstract:In view of the tight construction schedule and heavy tasks of the tunnel project of the Yunxiao Pumped Storage Power Station in Fujian,as well as the technical characteristics of the loosened zone detection in the tunnel crown—namely the use of dry holes,a"one-transmit-two-receive"transducer,and the requirement of water injection coupling—which result in relatively low detection efficiency,this paper carries out an experimental study on shortening the detection time of the loosened zone of surrounding rock in the tunnel crown.By modifying the water injection device and installing pressure gauges,the reasonable water injection pressure under different testing heights and the pressure for water release during probe movement are determined,respectively.Comparative tests are also conducted by adopting measures such as shortening the length of the water injection pipeline.The results show that this technical approach can effectively improve the efficiency of dry-hole acoustic testing in this project.Engineering practice further verifies that the experimental results of water injection pressure parameters at different heights are scientifically sound and can provide effective guidance for subsequent dry-hole acoustic testing operations.
Application of the Stone-Throwing and Silt-Pressing Technique in Soft Foundation Treatment of Dike ProjectsAbstract:River dike projects are characterized by long routes and complex geological conditions.Soft foundation problems are often encountered when crossing pits,ponds,and estuaries,and the effectiveness of their treatment directly impacts the safety of the dike project.Based on an overview of common soft foundation treatment methods,this paper focuses on analyzing the principles,applicable conditions,and technical points of the stone-throwing and silt-pressing technique.Taking the new dike construction in the Panjin section of the Liaohe River Flood Control and Improvement Project in Liaoning Province as an example,the design requirements for applying the stone-throwing and silt-pressing technique in foundation treatment are systematically elaborated.Combined with seepage analysis of the dike,anti-sliding stability calculations,and field test results,it is shown that after stone-throwing and silt-pressing treatment,the characteristic value of the foundation bearing capacity and the settlement difference before and after compaction meet the design requirements.The overall seepage stability and anti-sliding stability of the dike also meet the standards.The study shows that the stone-throwing and silt-pressing technique is safe and feasible for treating soft foundations in dike projects and can provide reference for similar projects.

Ion Composition Characteristics and Source Analysis of Atmospheric Precipitation in Xinfu DistrictAbstract:Based on continuous 10-year precipitation monitoring data from 2014 to 2023 in Xinfu District,a systematic analysis of the composition characteristics,pollution types,and sources of water-soluble ions in the atmospheric precipitation of the region was carried out.The results show that the precipitation in Xinfu District is generally neutral,and the electrical conductivity(EC)is influenced by a variety of environmental factors.The dominant anions in the precipitation are SO42-and NO3 ⁻,while the dominant cations are Ca2+and Na+,indicating that Ca2+and Na+are the main ions neutralizing the acidic substances in the precipitation.The SO42-/NO3⁻ ratio in the precipitation over the years ranges from 5.1 to 17.3(much greater than 3),showing typical coal-burning(sulfuric)pollution characteristics.Ion correlation and source contribution analysis confirmed that K+and Ca2+are primarily influenced by terrestrial inputs,Mg2+is affected by both marine and terrestrial sources,and 98.2%of Cl ⁻ originates from the ocean.SO42-and NO3 ⁻ are mainly from anthropogenic sources(with SO42-also influenced to some extent by the ocean),and the contribution of anthropogenic sources to NO3⁻ is as high as 98.0%.
Analysis and Treatment of Dam Leakage in Shuinianwan Reservoir ProjectAbstract:To address the seepage issues observed at the downstream dam face and slopes of the Shuinianwan Reservoir dam in Guizhou Province after impoundment,the design team classified the seepages into three categories based on their locations and characteristics:joint-related seepage corresponding to upstream panel joints,local seepage at non-joint areas of the upstream panel,and foundation seepage.Based on field safety inspections and subsequent quality testing results of the upstream panels,a categorized treatment scheme was implemented:cracks in the upstream panels were repaired using coating methods,while consolidation grouting was performed to enhance the foundation curtain.Post-implementation monitoring confirmed satisfactory anti-seepage effectiveness,validating the feasibility of the"categorized treatment and precision-targeted measures"methodology.This approach provides valuable technical references for seepage control in similar masonry dams.
Impact of Runoff in Shahe River Basin under Climate and Land Use ChangeAbstract:To investigate the response of surface runoff in the Shahe River Basin to changes in climate and land use,based on the daily meteorological and hydrological data of the Shahe River Basin from 1960 to 2020,the trend of precipitation,temperature and runoff in the basin was analyzed by using moving average method,linear regression test method and m-k nonparametric test method.Combined with the land use data of Shahe River Basin,SWAT model of Shahe River Basin is established.Through calibration and verification,SWAT model has good applicability in runoff simulation of Shahe River Basin.On this basis,the impact of climate and land use change on runoff is quantitatively analyzed through scenario simulation.The results indicate:Over the past 61 years,the temperature of Shahe River Basin has a significant upward trend,the precipitation has not decreased significantly,but the measured runoff has a significant downward trend;Cultivated land,forest land and grassland are the main land use types in the basin,accounting for more than 90%of the area,and the area change range is small from 1980 to 2020;Climate and land use change will lead to runoff reduction in the study area.By comparing the contribution rate,the main factor leading to runoff reduction is climate change.

Sensitivity Analysis of Piezometer Layout in Concrete Face Rockfill DamsAbstract:The seepage control system of concrete face rockfill dams is crucial for the safe operation of the dam body.Some projects,due to geological conditions or construction cost limitations,cannot set up a downstream measuring weir and must rely on piezometers to monitor the seepage condition.However,because of high permeability in the foundation and rapid decline of the phreatic line,traditional piezometer layouts often lack monitoring sensitivity.This paper investigates the effectiveness of piezometer placement in monitoring the seepage condition of the concrete face through theoretical analysis and three-dimensional finite element seepage simulation,and establishes a piezometer monitoring model.Results indicate that the pore pressure at the foundation bottom increases with higher vertical joint permeability;piezometers placed at the foundation bottom near vertical joints are highly sensitive to deterioration in the lower part of the concrete face and along the full vertical joint,but respond relatively weakly to deterioration in the middle and upper parts.A further piezometer monitoring model considering water pressure,temperature,and time-dependent factors is established,and its predictions are generally consistent with field inspection results.The findings provide theoretical basis and technical support for piezometer layout and seepage condition assessment in projects without downstream measuring weirs.

Ecological Flow Guarantee Scheme in the Lihe River BasinAbstract:Ensuring ecological flow in rivers and lakes is a key task for promoting ecological civilization construction in river basins and maintaining the health of rivers and lakes.To systematically guarantee the ecological flow(water volume)in the Lihe River Basin and strengthen the supervision of ecological flow,control sections for ecological flow were determined based on the characteristics of the Lihe River Basin.The average flow of the driest month over the past nearly ten years was used to analyze the natural runoff sequence at Chen'an Station from 2015 to 2024.At the same time,combined with approved ecological release flows from reservoirs and other relevant results,a reasonable and feasible ecological flow guarantee target was comprehensively determined.On this basis,schemes for scheduling,monitoring,early warning,and assessment were formulated to provide a basis for subsequent management of ecological flow in the Lihe River Basin and the implementation of water resource management mechanisms.
Simulation Study of Reservoir Ecological Response Based on Dynamic Optimization StrategyAbstract:To address issues such as insufficient ecological water for fish breeding periods and the flattening of hydrological processes during reservoir operation,a reservoir ecological operation model based on dynamic optimization strategy is developed.Key natural hydrological indicators are extracted using an iterative peak-seeking algorithm,and an"initial water level-operational water level-ecological response"elasticity relationship model is established.Under the premise of ensuring a water supply security rate of no less than 95%,the ecological pulse process is optimized.A case study is conducted for the Maiwan Reservoir on the Nandu River in Hainan Province.Results show that by regulating the ecological operating water level in June-July,the recurrence period of ecological pulses can be shortened from 2.5 years to 1 year,and the recurrence probability of ecological minor floods increases to 94.7%,effectively achieving coordination between water supply security and ecological needs.The study indicates that this method provides a technical pathway for reservoir ecological operation in river basins that balances hydrological process reconstruction with water resource security,offering favorable environmental benefits and engineering applicability.
