Increased hydropower production and hydropeaking mitigation along the Upper Inn River (Tyrol,Austria) with a combination of buffer reservoirs,diversion hydropower plants and retention basins

Research on hydropeaking in Austria started in the 1990s and the implementation of the WFD stipulated large research projects since the year 2009. The first research projects supported the process understanding and in a second investigation step, measures were evaluated. The mountains in the region of Tyrol create large heads and thus support the production of flexible energy. In this region, TIWAG is operating 9 large (>10 MW) and 27 small (<10 MW) hydropower plants, with an installed capacity of about 1,550 MW and a mean annual production of 3,000 GWh. As the governmental energy strategy foresees an extension of the hydropower production in Austria, suitable options were selected in 2004 by TIWAG and the water management framework plan for Western Tyrol was developed. This strategic planning instrument proposes five large power plants, with a generation of 1,800 GWh/year of renewable energy, which enables to reach the WFD targets, because the concept includes hydropeaking mitigation by combining buffer reservoirs (impoundments), diversion hydropower plants, and retention basins. We present our promising concept of hydropeaking mitigation and exemplify this based on the GKI, a hydropeaking diversion hydropower plants (HPP) at the Swiss/Austrian border as well as the Silz hydropeaking retention basin, with a volume of about 300,000 m³. As the presented case studies are the largest measures for hydropeaking mitigation being currently implemented in Central Europe, they have pilot-character. Thus, ongoing research and monitoring programs are expected to improve the knowledge about hydropeaking mitigation.     

不同引渠形式下深式短管进口泄流能力的试验研究

为研究红岩河水库导流泄洪洞深式短管进口引渠形式由明渠改成涵洞后对其泄洪能力的影响,对其在明渠和涵洞两种形式下分别做水工模型试验,验证其水力特性。结果表明,较明渠形式,涵洞形式下的导流泄洪洞同水位下泄流量有不同程度的减小,下泄流量减小在导流泄洪洞进口为压力流状态时表现明显,且减小值随水位的升高而变大;大坝度汛期100年一遇洪水时,试验下泄流量较设计下泄流量约小6.35%;运行期100年一遇洪水时,试验下泄流量较设计下泄流量约小6.51%;运行期2 000年一遇洪水时,试验下泄流量较设计下泄流量约小6.95%。建议在将红岩河水库导流泄洪洞深式短管进口引渠由明渠改成涵洞形式后,需关注导流泄洪洞的下泄流量减小问题,避免由于水库下泄流量不足引起的大坝安全问题。     

外秦淮河武定门闸上游减淤物理模型试验

针对南京市外秦淮河武定门闸上游近年来发生泥沙淤积严重的问题,建立了武定门闸河段物理模型,设定两种方案进行悬沙冲淤试验,分析偏转角为15°的导流墙工程对闸上游的减淤作用。结果表明:方案1(将闸门至上游60 m开挖至设计断面),设置导流墙后,经过2年8个月的水沙过程,整治段淤积量减少30.4%;方案2(将闸门至上游240 m开挖至设计断面),设置导流墙后,经过1个典型水文年,整治段淤积量减少50.8%,经过2个典型水文年,淤积量减少44.0%,减淤幅度下降,河床趋于形成新的冲淤平衡,断面地形也趋向于均匀分布;设置偏转角为15°的导流墙对武定门闸上游河道有显著的减淤作用,有助于提高河道的过流能力。     

轴压比对RC框架结构“强柱弱梁”屈服机制的影响研究

轴压比对RC框架结构"强柱弱梁"的实现有重要的影响,之前大量研究只是表明,高轴压比不能有效地实现"强柱弱梁"屈服机制.现有文献并未给出现行规范下实际可供参考的轴压比取值范围,以保证结构更好地实现强柱弱梁屈服机制.利用ABAQUS,通过改变混凝土等级的方法,不仅能够实现不同柱轴压比,还能保证梁、柱刚度比不发生变化.采用弹塑性动力时程分析方法,更有效地分析轴压比的影响,提出可供参考的轴压比取值范围建议,保证结构"强柱弱梁"屈服机制的实现,为工程设计提供一定的参考.     

闽江下游径流量和北港分流比变化及其对水龄的影响研究

利用闽江下游多年水文资料,分析了干流流量时空变化和北港分流比变化趋势,并借助EFDC模型研究水口水库下泄流量和北港分流比对闽江下游水体水龄的影响。分析表明:闽江干流径流量年际变化不均匀,北港分流比则经历了由小变大再变小的趋势。模拟的闽江水龄结果可知水龄与下泄流量成反比关系,北港分流比减小将增加北港水体交换时间,同时减少南港水体交换时间;水龄可以定量地描述污染物在北港河道的停留时间,为保障北港水源地水质安全,需要增大枯水期上游水口水库下泄流量和增大北港分流比。     

穿斗木结构房屋地震响应分析与构造技术研究

穿斗木结构是我国西南农村地区较常见的房屋结构类型.以一种典型穿斗木结构房屋为研究对象,采用ANSYS有限元软件建立结构整体模型,分析其静力反应、动力特性以及不同强度地震下的响应特性.研究结果表明:该类结构平动第二周期与扭转第一周期较为接近,有可能发生平扭耦联现象;不同强度地震下,加速度响应均在柱底最大,越往上越小,而位移响应均在柱顶最大,越往下越小;结构中的榫卯属于抗震有利部件,能够吸收和耗散地震能量,使结构顶部加速度响应较小,但由于节点的半刚性特点及纵向刚度较小,使结构整体性较差,造成顶部位移响应较大;基于有限元分析结论与实际施工特点,提出在中柱间设置剪刀撑,在梁下设置枋,加强檩条、柱、梁之间的连接,加强围护墙体与构件的连接等措施来提高穿斗木结构房屋的抗震性能.

Thermal spray vitrification process for the removal of lead-based paint from steel structures: An applications note

Lead-based paints and primers have long been used to protect steel structures from corrosion, but are now recognized as environmental hazards. During lead-based paint removal via abrasive blasting, federal, state and local environmental requirements mandate the use of containment structures to prevent contamination of air, soil, or water. The thermal spray vitrification (TSV) process was developed and optimized in laboratory experiments to remove hazardous lead-based paint. TSV consists of thermal spraying a molten glass onto the painted surface. As the glass strikes the substrate, it reacts with the paint, and organic components are pyrolyzed, while lead ions are trapped on the glass surface. Quenching stresses in the glass cause it to crack and spall off the substrate. The resulting glass fragments are collected, and further remelted to completely immobilize lead (Pb) ions in the glassy iron (Fe) silicate matrix. The glass waste is thus rendered non-hazardous, as determined by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). The TSV process was field tested on a fire hydrant, using minimal personal protective equipment and without using a containment structure. The lead-containing paint was removed, without producing hazardous waste, leaving de-painted surfaces suitable for repainting.
