Study on Lateral Bearing Characteristics of Geotextile Bag Retaining Wall of Two-Stage Slope by GUAN Xiaodi, QIN Zexuan

“…Under the background of the rapid development of high-speed traffic and the popularization of low-carbon life,the ecological slope protection technology with geotextile bags has attracted wide attention.To investigate the lateral bearing characteristics of two-stage slopes supported by the geotextile bag retaining wall,we conduct lateral non-uniform loading tests of a two-stage slope under the conditions of inclined support,L-shaped support,and reverse-slope L-shaped support.The analysis of the tests indicates that the horizontal displacement of the two-stage slope is greater than that of a one-stage slope,and the earth pressure increases with the increase in wall height.Through the comparison of test results,it is found that with the slope with inclined support as a reference,the arch height of the slope top is increased by 22.2% and 59.3% in the case of L-shaped support and reserve-slope L-shaped support,respectively,and the earth pressure at the two-stage slope toe is increased by 11.1% and 19.2%,with that at the one-stage slope toe increased by 24.7% and 35.8%,respectively.The failure mode analysis shows that the failure of the two-stage slope occurs before that of the one-stage slope,which is a sliding failure,and the sliding surface is a circular arc.Finally,the correctness of the model test results is verified by ABAQUS.…”

Attribution Identification of Runoff Variation in Ganjiang River Basin Based on Budyko Hypothesis by LIU Weilin, HUA Huiling, ZHANG Jingrong, WANG Jun, WANG Yunfei, LIU Lina

“…The hydrometeorological data of the Ganjiang River Basin for 1953—2017,the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test,and the sliding t test were leveraged to analyze the variation characteristics of the hydrometeorological elements of the study area.Sensitivity analysis of the influencing elements was carried out by the elastic coefficient method on the basis of the Budyko hypothesis,and the influence of each element on the runoff variation in the Ganjiang River Basin was assessed quantitatively.The following observations could be made from the results:① During 1953—2017,the runoff and precipitation in the Ganjiang River Basin showed an insignificant increase trend,and the potential evapotranspiration demonstrated a marked decrease trend.② Runoff variation was positively correlated with precipitation and negatively correlated with the characteristic parameters of the underlying surface and potential evapotranspiration.The runoff in the Ganjiang River Basin was most sensitive to precipitation change.③ Climate change had a positive effect on the increase in the runoff in this Basin,and it was the leading factor affecting runoff variation,with a contribution rate of 73.7%~104.9%.Human activities took the second place,accounting for -4.9%~27.0%.Specifically,human activities had a great impact on the runoff in the upper and middle reaches.The implementation of the ecological construction projects in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River and the water conservancy construction projects in the middle reaches changed the underlying surface conditions of the basin and thereby affected the river runoff.…”
