Application and Research of Three-Row Pile Retaining Structure in Key Project of Drainage Pumping Station by HU Xubao, YAN Yong

“…Most of the wing walls at the connection section of forebays in key projects of drainage pumping stations are generally designed as cantilevers,buttresses,or box-type retaining wall structures and are equipped with temporary diversion and supporting measures,which thus require high project investment and long construction period.This paper took the Yaquewei water conservancy project as an example and optimized the scheme of wing walls between the pump station and the sluice at the connection section of the forebay of a large-scale drainage pumping station.After comparison and selection,it was recommended to adopt a three-row pile retaining structure,which is less used in water conservancy projects.The optimized scheme saves the project investment and shortens the construction period.At the same time,three-dimensional finite element numerical simulation technology and other means were used to compare the calculation results with the measured engineering data,so as to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the scheme and summarize the design experience.…”

Autonomous deployment and energy efficiency optimization strategy of UAV based on deep reinforcement learning by Yi ZHOU, Xiaoyong MA, Fuxiao GAO, Wei LI, Nan CHENG, Ning LU

“…Utilizing a UAV to build aerial mobile small cell can provide more flexible and efficient access services for ground terminal users.Constrained by the coverage and limited energy of the UAV,it is necessary to study how to build a fast,efficient and energy-saving air-ground collaborative network.To deal with complex dynamic scenarios,the UAV needs to deploy an optimal coverage position,and meanwhile reduce both path loss and energy consumption in the deployment process.Based on the deep reinforcement learning,a strategy of autonomous UAV deployment and efficiency optimization was proposed.The coverage state set of UAV was established,and the energy efficiency was used as a reward function.Depth neural network and Q-learning were used to guide UAV to make autonomous decision and deploy the optimal position.The simulation results show that the deployment time of the proposed method can be effectively reduced by 60%,while the energy consumption can be reduced by 10%~20%.…”
