The derived bearing capacity factors for a smooth rigid pipe limit to those for the conventional rectangular strip footing while the pipe embedment approaches zero. Parametric studies indicate that, the pipe-soil interfacial properties have much influence on the bearing capacity for the pipe foundation on clayedy soils.展开更多

So as the construction would largely disturb the earth surface and vegetation and would have a large quantity of earth and stone digging, the construction of the railway in this area would certainly lead to a series of questions. Through the integrated analysis of the actualities of soil erosion and water and soil conservation along the section of Tanggula-Lhasa of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and with the combination of the features of the railway construction and the environment, the protection measures and proposals about the soil erosion along the section of Tanggula to Lhasa of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway have been put forward, so as to reach to the purpose of holding back the further development of soil erosion along the line, improving the ecological environment in the local area and maintaining the railway in normal operation.展开更多

Both pedons have A-BC-C horizonation. They have thick surface (A) horizon with bulk density -3, Alo + 0.5Feo about 2% and P retention >90%. Mineral association consists predominantly of kaolinite, gibbsite, goe- thite, organometal complexes and trace amount of ferrihydrite and allophane. The Ki values between 1.1 and 1.6, the low TRB (45 to 67 mg kg-1), the important IMob (20% to 24%), the CIA between 60% and 70% and the EFs above 1.16 for Al and Fe, and below 0.6 for Si indicate sparingly hydrolysis process in subsoil during which released Al, Fe and Si form allophanic or ferrihydrite minerals undergo crystallization into kaolinite, gibbsite and goethite, respectively. At topsoil, part of released Al (and Fe) is organically bounded with organic acids to form organometal complexes.展开更多

Then the effect of the distance between the two tunnels, the stiffness and density of the lining material, and the incident frequency on the seismic response of the tunnels is investigated. Numerical results demonstrate that the dynamic interaction between the twin tunnels cannot be ignored and the lower tunnel has a significant shielding effect on the upper tunnel for high-frequency incident waves, resulting in great decrease of the dynamic hoop stress in the upper tunnel; for the low-frequency incident waves, in contrast, the lower tunnel can lead to amplification effect on the upper tunnel. It also reveals that the frequency-spectrum characteristics of dynamic stress of the lower tunnel are significantly different from those of the upper tunnel. In addition, for incident P waves in low-frequency region, the soft lining tunnels have significant amplification effect on the surface displacement amplitude, which is slightly larger than that of the corresponding single tunnel.展开更多
