    Along with the exploitation of tidal flat and beach resources and the construction of water projects in the estuary region of the Pearl River, the estuarine boundary shape and dynamic environment changed greatly, which inevitably gave rise to the adjustment of estuarine riverbed morphology, exerting far-reaching influence on the stability of tidal estuaries. On the basis of stability analysis for the tide channel of Pearl River estuary, the hydraulic-geometric relation and the tide control indicator were put forward. Moreover, the relationship between entrance section area and average ebb flow for many years of the Pearl River estuary was established. The balanced section’s hydraulic-geometric relation was also established. On this basis, scouring and silting at the entrance caused by estuarine tide changes was forecasted. According to the relationship between riverbed sediment adjustment and flood discharge capacity change, we concluded that the ebb flow change at the entrance of the estuary should be controlled in 1%-2%. The research result provides quantitative reference for the management of water projects at the estuary.

    This paper proposed an improved set pair analysis model to solve the problem of subtle differentiation between uniform. In view of the defects of using subjective analysis separately, or objective analysis alone, we put forward a new idea of comprehensively determine the weight coefficients. Weight coefficients are calculated by the aid of optimized analytic hierarchy process for subjective weights and entropic coefficients method for objective weights, and then the objective weights and subjective ones are combined according to the minimum discrimination information principle, which improves the veracity of the weight. This method was used to evaluate the water quality of the Dahuofang reservoir, and the result is compared with those from fuzzy set method and BP neural network method. The results show that the new method has good application prospect as it reflects the actual situation and water quality much better.

    The relative humidity indexes in the past five decades are calculated based on the annual precipitation and temperature data from 34 meteorological stations from 1961 to 2011 in Chongqing. Moreover, Kriging spatial interpolation is conducted for the tendency and tendency coefficients of annual average temperature, rainfall and humidity index in each decade, and on this basis, the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of annual average temperature, precipitation and humidity index which reflect the wet and dry conditions in Chongqing are analyzed. Results show that 1) in the past five decades, the average annual temperature of Chongqing rose with fluctuations, with a rising rate of 0.09 ℃/(10 a), whereas in terms of spatial distribution, the trend rose from the southwest to the northeast yet with insignificant difference; 2) average annual precipitation showed a volatile downward trend with the tendency coefficient of 15 mm/(10 a), and in terms of spatial distribution the trend decreased from the southeast to the northwest; 3) the humidity index declined slightly overall, with the drought growing more intense from the southeast to the northwest, but in general, the difference is not obvious; 4) the coefficient of correlation between humidity index respectively with temperature and precipitation were -0.465 and 0.950.

    To analyze the hydrology response of climate change and runoff in Batang River basin in the source area of Yangtze River, SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model was established based on the DEM (Digital Elevation Model), meteorological data, soil type and land use map data. Furthermore, SUFI-2(Sequential Uncertainty Fitting) was employed to calibrate and validate the model. The simulation results showed that the peak values of observed and simulated runoff were roughly similar, and the peak values were in June, July, August and September; the valley values were in January and February. Factor of groundwater delay was the most essential factor affecting the simulation result. The determination coefficient and efficiency coefficient of the simulated and observed runoff both in calibration period and validation period were all greater than 0.8, indicating that the SWAT model is suitable for the Batang River basin, but was largely affected by frozen soil. On the basis of runoff simulation and analysis of affecting factors, better risk analysis and prediction of mountain torrents and debris flow hazards for the Batang River basin will be taken according to the previous work.

    Single-objective evaluation method cannot effectively evaluate the rationality of water intake quantity and quota of fossil-fuel power station. In view of this, a multi-objective evaluation method based on projection pursuit was employed to evaluate the reasonability of water intake quantity and quota of fossil-fuel power stations in Changjiang River basin. Firstly, single-objective evaluation method was applied to evaluation and the result was analyzed. On this basis, multi-objective evaluation was conducted. Results show that the comprehensive score of Taicang fossil-fuel power station phase III is the highest and Nantong thermal power plant phase II is the lowest. This multi-objective evaluation method based on projection pursuit could effectively identify the information value of evaluation indexes, and give rational and objective assessment result. Four ranks (unqualified, qualified, good, and excellent) are recommended for the rating.

    The hydrodynamic characteristics have changed greatly in the mainstream and its tributaries since the impoundment of Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR).Through field observation and a two-dimensional, laterally averaged, hydrodynamic model simulation by CE-QUAL-W2, we compared and analyzed the spatial and temporal distributions of the water temperature and the hydrodynamics of Shennong River bay in the TGR in different running periods. The comparative analysis results reveal that water flow has become quite slow in Shennong Bay, and density currents of different strengths exist in different running periods, including reverse density currents from mainstream to bay and the accordant bottom density current from the Shennong River to bay. In dry season and the drawdown period before flood season, the water of the mainstream of TGR flows into the Shennong Bay in surface density current with low strength; while in wet season and impoundment period in the end of flood season, mid-layer density current of high strength affects the whole bay. Downward bottom density current exists at the upstream inflow because the temperature of incoming flow is usually lower than that in the bay. Furthermore, the water temperature in the bay increases in spring and summer and decreases in autumn and winter. The stratification of water temperature is obvious in the bay in all seasons, but was weak in winter and strong in other seasons. The model of stratification is quite different from that of general reservoirs due to density currents. The simulation results indicate that CE-QUAL-W2 model performs well in simulating the density current and water temperature stratification characteristics. This research offers technical support for detailed analysis on the hydrodynamics in Shennong River of TGR.

Subsequently, the mechanical mechanism of micropile-soil and the vegetation slope protection system were elaborated respectively from mechanical effects, hydrological effects and calculation models, and some problems are pointed out as well. Furthermore, the erosion and damage of soil slope under rainfall action are analyzed. Finally, the prospects of the application of the synergistic system in China are presented, and further research topics are suggested.

    Safety monitoring is an important means to assess the stability safety of surrounding rock. The right bank underground powerhouse of Wudongde hydropower station is huge with three large caverns (main powerhouse, main transformer cavern, and surge chamber) parallel to each other. In order to ensure the safety stability of surrounding rock during construction, we monitored the surface and deep deformations of surrounding rock by using multi-point displacement meter, anchor stress gauge, anchor dynamometer, and joint meter. We also analyzed the displacement characteristics and deformation regularity of the three large caverns. Monitoring results show that the deformation caused by excavation is small, mainly concentrating in the shallow surface; maximum deformation of surrounding rock above the height of rock anchor beam in the three caverns is 16.43 mm. Large deformation appears at the top of the main power house, upstream side rock anchor beam and upstream side wall of tail-water chamber room. Moreover, the rapid development of deformation is greatly influenced by blasting disturbance, space effect caused by excavation, and weak geologic condition. Timely and strong support measures could limit the development of deformation.

    The dynamic responses of concrete gravity dam under impact loading are much more complicated than that under static loading. In this paper the damage characteristics of gravity dam is researched by applying steel uniform impact to simulate the cyclic impact of wave loading underwater on concrete gravity dam. Geometrical and gravity similitude are both satisfied in the model test. The dynamic responses of model dam are obtained, and the position and propagation of cracks are observed and tracked. Results reveal that when the dam is subjected to cyclic uniform impact loading, the maximum strain of dam is at the middle of the upstream dam face rather than at the dam heel; cracking damage occurs first at the jetty head which is a weak part of impact resistance. The failure modes of concrete gravity dam under cyclic uniform impact include cracking, fragmenting, spalling and throwing. The results provide theoretical basis for the operational management, shock resistance and safety evaluation of dams.

    By using monitoring technology we can collect information of the dynamics of surrounding rock in the process of construction, and hence judging the stability of surrounding rock condition and determining the right time of secondary lining and verifying the rationality of supporting mode. Through the analysis of tunnel monitoring measurement data of Huaying mountain tunnel, we established several regression models for comparison, and obtained two regression models of high precision. Then we applied the optimum weighted combinatorial prediction model (OWCPM) to predict the arch crown settlement, and compared the result with those of single prediction models. The OWCPM is verified to be superior to single models. According to the results of the OWCPM, we analyzed the deformation rate, and hence determining the timing of secondary lining. The results show that the OWCPM in analyzing tunnel monitoring measurement data improves the prediction accuracy, and better reflects the development trend of crown settlement compared with single forecast models.

    To study the anisotropic characteristics of deformation and strength of layered rock masses, we produced a number of layered rock masses with different inclination angles into standard specimens for uniaxial compression laboratory tests. Through the tests we obtained the elastic modulus, peak strength and residual strength of the specimens, as well as their variation regularities with inclination angle β. We also analyzed the fracture morphology of the specimens at peak values, and finally verified the validity of the test results by theoretical calculation. The results showed that: with the increase of inclination angle β, the elastic modulus, peak strengths and residual strength of the specimens showed a tendency of increase after decrease. When β equaled to 90 °, the modulus and strengths reached the maximum values. When β ranged from 45 ° to 60 °, the modulus and strengths were relatively small. Moreover, when β equaled to 90 °, the corresponding modulus and strengths were larger than those when β equaled to 0 °, displaying significant anisotropic characteristics; when β ranged from 0 ° to 15 °, splitting failure occurred along the axial stress direction; if β was greater than 30 °, sliding failure took place along the structural surface; when β equaled to 90 °, splitting failure happened along the structural surface.

    In order to explore the relation between acoustic emission phenomenon and internal damage in the failure process of compression deformation of rock salt, we conducted uniaxial compression test on salt rock from Anning, Yunnan province using MTS815 rock mechanics test system of Sichuan University. The damage evolution model of rock salt was established with acoustic emission parameters based on damage theory and the damage variable D was modified by coefficient of correction. The research results show that the maximum values of ring count rate and energy rate appeared near the elastic limit and the phenomenon of high frequency and low amplitude appeared later; the damage value based on AE increased rapidly in the early stage of compressive deformation, and the damage value based on AE accumulated ring counts is smaller than that based on cumulative energy; the revised damage model curve is in agreement with the whole process of test curve and could reflect the damage evolution process of rock salt well.Simulation using ring count can reflect the damage evolution characteristics of rock salt better than using energy.

    In view of the insufficiency of the present rock damage mechanics models, we propose a statistical constitutive model of rock damage considering the crack closure effect by introducing the statistical damage theory. The model is more consistent with the deformation and failure regularity of rock, and reflects the residual strength and ductility, hence having a wide range of application. The model is proved to be rational and feasible through comparison with the existing research results and measured data. The curves of damage variable under different confining pressures conform with the “S” shape, which can be divided into different phases according to the deformation failure stages. Crack closure coefficient (h) has great influence on the damage energy dissipation rate. With the decrease of h , damage energy dissipation rate increases; when the value of h reaches a certain value, the damage energy dissipation rate rises sharply. Therefore, the deformation failure of rock is not only related with stress state, but also involves the accumulation of damage evolution and crack closure effect.

    The rational layout of reinforcement in reinforced soil retaining wall is discussed by using sand box model test. The horizontal and vertical spacings, width and length of reinforcement in the prerequisite of minimum reinforcement area under limit stable state are researched. According to the method of equal soil pressure, the layout of reinforcement which is increasingly denser in vertical direction with equal horizontal spacing is put forward, and the corresponding calculation formula is presented. Analysis shows that the layout pattern “sparse in the upper part and dense in the lower part” which is consistent with the increasing soil pressure along depth leads to a balanced force on the reinforcement, and this layout pattern (narrow geobelts distributed densely) requires less amount of reinforcement and achieves better stability; while the layout with long geobelts in the upper part and short geobelts downwards which adapts to the shape of backfill potential rupture wedge (wide in the upper part and narrow in the lower part) is prior to the layout with geobelts of equal length; and moreover, narrow and long geobelts could increase the effective anchorage area and improve the stability of retaining wall compared with wide and short geobelts.

    To overcome the shortcomings of finite element method and particle flow method in simulating the stability of soil-rock mixture (SRM) slope, a new method for generating random finite numerical models of SRM is presented, and models of SRM slope generated by this method are used to analyze the influence of rock block proportion on SRM slope’s stability by using strength reduction method. The results show that: with the increase of rock block proportion, the feature of heterogeneously distributed internal stress field and multiple sliding surface gradually strengthens; the stability factor of SRM slope gradually improves with the increase of rock block proportion. The stability factor of SRM slope increases slowly when the rock block proportion is less than 40%, but increases rapidly when the rock block proportion is between 40% and 55%, and then basically remains unchanged.

    Collapse of large area occurred in Shenzhen universiade sports center during its pile foundation construction. Because the project is very important, and the ground and foundation are very complicated, we need to assess the hazard of karst ground collapse in order to reduce accidents. Firstly, we employed exploration methods inclusive of high-density electrical method, geologic radar, CT tomography, and drilling to investigate the development of soil holes and karst caves. On this basis, we built the statics model of the ground collapse through engineering geological analysis. Furthermore, we summarized the factors affecting the karst ground collapse and established a risk assessment index system based on the analysis of space distribution regularity of karst development and formation mechanism. The index system includes 4 first-level indicators (karst foundation condition, cover layer characteristics, building attributes and hydrogeological condition) and 8 secondary level indicators. At last, we adopted MapGIS and PLS (Partial Least Squares) Path Model to assess the hazard of karst ground collapse, and divided the ground collapse hazard into four levels: high, relatively high, relatively low and low, accounting for 1.05%, 10.71%, 19.39%, and 68.85% of the whole site respectively. The assessment and prediction results are objective and reasonable, and the proposed system can be used in similar projects.

    In order to simulate the physic-mechanical properties of soil-rock mixture (SRM) realistically, a technique based on sphericity and angularity to constructing random geometric and discrete element method (DEM) model of irregularly shaped (IRS) rock block is proposed. Then particle flow simulations for open bottom cylinder tests of IRS rock blocks under different sphericity and angularity parameters are conducted. Finally, three dimensional (3-D) stochastic models of SRM which conform to the macroscopic statistical rule are established and DEM numerical simulations of large scale triaxial test are conducted. The numerical results and laboratory results are compared and analyzed. It is noteworthy that the proposed modeling method is simple and practical. The modeling controlling parameters are reasonable and effective. It is also indicated that particle flow simulation of SRM with stochastic IRS rock blocks can reproduce the physical and mechanical properties of SRM well, including mesoscopic contacting characteristics of IRS particles, stress-strain relationship, negative dilatancy and positive dilatancy. The proposed method in this paper provides an effective way to further study the deformation and failure mechanism of SRM.

    Currently there are relatively few studies on the work traits of grille-structured composite foundation composed of cement mixing piles, and its deformation mechanism is not clear. On the basis of field load test results of grille-structured cement mixing pile composite foundation in Xinglong hydropower project, a three-dimensional finite element model which could reflect the mechanics of interaction between soils and piles was established by considering the contact action between soils and piles. The actual loading process of field test of composite foundation’s pile group was simulated using this model. Through comparison of the P-S curve between grille-shaped pile group tests and numerical simulations, the correctness of the numerical model and parameters are verified. Furthermore, the variation regularities of pile’s axial force, vertical stress of soils among piles, and pile’s lateral friction were analyzed. The time course of load sharing relationship between piles and soils is studied, and the distribution of axial force and friction of piles are acquired. According to the vertical balance equation, the average tip resistance and lateral resistance can be calculated by numerical analysis.

    In order to evaluate the tightness of water-sealed underground storage cavern, we carried out test on the efficiency of water curtain system. According to the pressure values of water boreholes at different hydrodynamic levels, we estimated the efficiency of water curtain system, and then by drilling new boreholes in low efficiency area, we could improve the connectivity and permeability of rock mass. Furthermore we present a method of calculating the key parameter, namely critical pressure value, and applied the method to calculate the critical pressure value of a water-sealed underground storage cavern in Yantai as an example. Test results proved that the method of calculating the critical pressure value is feasible. According to the calculated critical pressure value, we can accurately determine the rock area which needs more boreholes. Moreover, rock permeability is closely related with the efficiency of water curtain. In most cases, rock permeability ranging from 10-7m/s to 10-5m/s could meet the cavern’s tightness requirements. The process of obtaining the critical pressure value in this research is based on assumptions and needs further improvement in engineering practice.

    The engineering properties and stability of soil-like slope obviously differ from those of homogeneous soil slope and rock slope. In actual construction projects, soil-like slopes are regarded as general homogeneous soil slope and rock slope, resulting in inadequate reliability, or conservative support. Research on the geomechanical model and instability mechanism of soil-like slope is of practical significance. In this paper, Dongtangwan slope in Hechuan district of Chongqing is taken as a geological prototype to analyze the geological conditions, structural features, and deformation behaviors of the slope. Results reveal that the geomechanical model is progressive backwards creep slide-tension fracture; instability analysis shows that the failure of soil-like slope usually happens in storm or continuous rainfall, with some lag in time, and the instability is mainly controlled by the gently-inclined structural planes and steep-inclined fissure planes. Furthermore, the slope stability is analyzed and evaluated based on plane sliding mode. The calculation results are consistent with the deformation characteristics of the slope.

    Plastic concrete could well adapt to foundation settlement due to its low elastic modulus and large deformation. As a result, it is widely used in the construction of cutoff wall in hydropower projects. As to the anti-seepage project of cofferdam in Lufeng nuclear power plant, in order to make full use of resources on site and reduce the cost of project, we adopted stone ballast to take the place of pebble and sand for mix proportion design of plastic concrete. Then we determined the technical indexes of plastic concrete by performance test, and detected the anti-seepage effect of the mix proportions through water injection test and hole imagery. Results show that when the sand ratio remains unchanged, the impermeability improves greatly with bentonite content increases, while the strength decreases little, which meets the requirements for performance index. The cutoff wall is also in good condition. The mix proportion with stone ballast replacing pebble and sand is verified to be feasible.

    In order to explore the model of chemical grout diffusion which is more consistent with reality, we conducted tests on the time-varying characteristics of viscosity of CW epoxy grout, and obtained that the relationship between viscosity and time at a given temperature accords with exponential function. Furthermore, according to the spherical diffusion theory and the cylindrical diffusion theory, we optimized the formulas of epoxy grout quantity and grout diffusion radius in terms of time-varying characteristics. The optimized formulas reveal that the grout is in negative acceleration motion in the process of infiltration; the maximum grout diffusion radius and maximum grout quantity are dependent on the product of the parameters of viscosity-time function when other parameters which don’t depend on grout itself remain constant. Through comparison of the product of function parameters of different epoxy slurries, we conclude that the grout of which viscosity grows more slowly has better penetration.

    The effects of grouting pressure, moisture content and temperature on the adsorbing capacity of epoxy resin grouting agent on the surface of silica sand were researched using a sand-packed model. Test results showed that the adsorbing capacity of epoxy resin grouting agent on the surface of silica increased with the increasing of grouting pressure when the pressure was under 0.7 MPa but decreased when the pressure was over 0.8 MPa. Adsorbing capacity of epoxy resin grouting agent decreased with raising moisture content of silica sand due to competitive adsorption between epoxy resin molecule and water molecule. Adsorbing capacity of epoxy resin grouting agent reduced sharply with raising temperature attributing to the influence of molecular activity and viscosity. Results of the study provided a reference for the control of grouting pressure and temperature and also for the modification of epoxy resin grouting agent.

    The zonation of hail risk is researched according to observed meteorological data, historical disaster data and fundamental geographic data in Tianzhu Tibetan autonomous county where hail disaster frequently happens. An evaluation model for hail risk is established consisting four indexes, namely hazard of disaster-inducing factor, sensitivity of environment to hail disaster, vulnerability of hazard-affected body to hail disaster, and capability of disaster reduction and relief. Furthermore, GIS technology is adopted to obtain the zoning of hail disaster risk. Results show that the hail risk rises from the north to the south in Tianzhu Tibetan autonomous county. Hail risks in Huazang temple, Dongping, Shimen and Dachaigou, and part of Tanshanling and Saishensi are the highest, followed by Haxi, Duoshen and Xidatan; the hail risks in east Songshan, southwest of Danma and Qilian are the lowest.

    A tail gate water level control system was developed independently to improve the automatic control of river model testing and ensure the accuracy of experiment. The system was developed by adopting PID regulation algorithm and Lagrange interpolation method. Tests of steady flow and non-steady flow proved that the control system ensured the speed and stability of tail gate level control and improved the accuracy of the experiment. The repetitive precision of tail-water controlling is less than one millimeter. The results suggest that the system could improve the experiment’s repeat accuracy, enhance efficiency, and reduce the cost of experiment.

    Because expansive soil is very sensitive to water,the stability of expansive soil slope and its lining structure is one of the important challenges for the construction and operation of the first-stage project of middle route South-to-North Water Diversion in China. On the basis of geological structure classification, the permeability structure and seepage field system in expansive soil area and also the seepage field system in expansive soil slope of canal were classified respectively. For different kinds of seepage field system in expansive soil slope of canal, the seepage field transformations caused by canal construction were analyzed. The main tasks for seepage field control were discussed, and the principle was pointed out for the application of seepage field control scheme: laying drainage liner for long-term control of water content in unsaturated slope, deliberate design of berms with their negative effects on seepage control considered, reasonable utilization of drainage holes and relief wells to control seepage field and ground water pressure, reasonable arrangement of sensitive and reliable check valves for the canal stretches with the variation range of ground water level overlapping that of canal water level, tracking research on the efficiency of seepage field control and timely regulating it effectively.

    Due to deep buried silty fine sand and sand gravel layers of strong permeability in the foundation of Xinglong hydropower project, the stability and seepage problem of the dam foundation are of great concern. By means of 3-D seepage analysis for the foundation of powerhouse segment and sluice segment, we compared the effects of different seepage control measures. Results reveal that under design water level condition, the exit gradient of foundation’s fine sand can be controlled less than 0.30 by taking some seepage control measures. When the downstream water level descents, the exit gradient of foundation fine sand will be larger than 0.30 behind the tail channel of powerhouse, and between 0.20 and 0.30 behind the sluice dam. The seepage stability of foundation fine sand is more relied on filter protection.

    To obtain the effectiveness of relief-well, we performed two-dimensional seepage calculations on factors inclusive of penetration depth, pipe diameter, spacing, outlet elevation and filter-layer permeability by finite element method. According to the calculation results, we analyzed the effect of each factor on relief-well clogging and the influence regularities as follows: the penetration depth and filter-layer’s permeability have great impact on relief-well, and with the increase of penetration depth and filter-layer’s permeability, the effectiveness of relief-well gradually enhanced; pipe diameter has less effect on the relief-well, with the increase of pipe diameter, the effectiveness of relief-well gradually improved, but not much. The spacing between relief-wells and the elevation of outlet have not much influence on the effectiveness of relief-well.
