入海泥沙减少背景下黄河清水沟亚三角洲海岸线的发育与演化

三角洲岸线的变迁是研究地貌冲淤最直接的要素。黄河三角洲是世界上发育最快的三角洲,研究其海岸线变化规律和演化趋势对地区生态环境保护、海洋资源开发、基础设施建设等至关重要。本文在前人研究的基础上,采用修正归一化水体指数(Modified Normalized Difference WaterIndex,MND-WI)与多年水频率指数(Multi-year Water Frequency Index,MWFI)相结合的方法对1976–2021年期间典型年份的207幅遥感影像进行岸线提取,使获取到的海岸线更具科学性和代表性,并在此基础上通过定量计算分析了海岸线的时空演变及其稳定性特征,以此探讨黄河清水沟亚三角洲海岸线自1976年以来的演化机制。研究结果表明:(1)总体上,清水沟亚三角洲海岸线演化呈现先快速向海淤积后波动稳定的趋势,以1996年和2002年为节点划分为“快速发育”“缓慢发育”“动态平衡”3个阶段;(2)45年来,研究区海岸线稳定性持续增强,其中孤东海堤段岸线与黄河清水沟亚三角洲南部岸线保持相对稳定,而清8汊河口段岸线与清水沟废弃河口段岸线较为活跃,其岸线稳定性指数基本低于0.5;(3)陆上三角洲淤积、侵蚀中心的迁移同河口位置变动相对应,尤其是淤积中心的迁移与河口位置变动之间在经度向存在明显的正向关系,R^(2)=0.6904;(4)黄河入海泥沙减少、河口位置迁移以及人类活动对三角洲海岸线的发育演化影响显著。从长远来看,在黄河入海泥沙持续减少的背景下,三角洲的未来仍面临侵蚀的威胁。

Stability Analysis of Tubular Steel Shores

The design of tubular steel scaffold-type shoring is usually performed by calculating the load capacity of the elements, taking into account their axial strength, mainly. Geometric stiffness effects and changes in the stiffness of connections are seldom considered. This paper assesses the stability of tubular steel shores using experimental and numerical approaches that take into account geometric nonlinearities as well as the features of the elements used to make the link between the steel tubes （pressed double coupler--right angle）. The increase in overall stiffness generated by diagonal bars used in the analyzed models was examined. The results obtained show the importance of using P-delta analyses in this kind of structure in order to evaluate structure＇s overall stability even when compressive stresses are within acceptable ranges of code limits.

Root Effect of Three Vegetation Types on Shoreline Stabilization of Chongming Island,Shanghai

Coastal erosion is currently a major problem along the southern coast of Chongming Island, Shanghai. To enhance the erosion protection ability of coastal shelterbelts, two woody tree species, Taxodium ascendens and Salix babylonica, were planted separately into Phragmites australis ＋ Scirpus mariqueter communities in 2006. Two years later, we investigated whether either of these experiments reduced erosion and increased stability in the native herbaceous plant community. We also examined soil stability and root length density under T. aseendens added, S. babylonica added and native herbaceous vegetation conditions along an intertidal gradient from the soil surface to a depth of 40 cm in each experiment, thus to determine the capacity of T. ascendens and S. babylonica to contribute to shoreline stabilization. Topsoil under the native vegetation had greater stability at the middle and higher intertidal zones because its soil stability index and root length density were significantly higher than in the T. ascendens or S. babylonica planted communities. The effect of T. ascendens on soil stability was not generally better than that of the native vegetation. Only at the 20-30 cm soil depth of the middle intertidal zone and in the 10-20 cm layer of the higher intertidal zone the soil stability index and root length densities under the T. ascendens added condition were significantly higher （P 〈 0.05） than those of the native vegetation. The S. babylonica planted soil had greater stability in the deeper soil layer than the soil under either the native vegetation or the T. ascendens added condition, and its soil stability index and root length density were significant higher （P 〈 0.05） than those of other vegetation conditions at the 30 40 cm soil depth for the lower intertidal zone and at the 20-40 cm layer for middle and higher intertidal zones.
