Abstract

A method for reinforcing soft ground by post-grouting combined with pressurized vacuum preloading is proposed, by pre-burying prefabricated vertical drains and air-boosted pipes in granular material piles, and the air-boosted pipes are used as grouting pipes to reduce the number of times of piling, which not only improves the construction efficiency, but also reduces the structural disturbance of the soil and the influence of smear effect, thus reducing the impact on the radial permeability and the radial consolidation coefficients. The method does not use geotextile bags for granular materials, which can avoid the problem of forming a localized clogging area around the geotextile bags, and the method not only improves the efficiency of vacuum transfer in a pre-consolidation stage, but also improves the grouting effect in the later stage, effectively enhances the strength of soft soil and makes granular material piles and the surrounding soil form composite ground.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and system for a wind stress coefficient expression by comprehensively considering impacts of an average wind speed, a fetch and a water depth, and relates to the field of wind-wave-current numerical simulation studies. Based on a wind-wave-current coupling interaction mechanism in lakes, oceans and other waters, two dimensionless numbers that can represent a wind-wave-current interaction strength: a fetch Froude number and a fetch Reynolds number, are constructed, a form of a wind stress coefficient expression with an undetermined coefficient is established, and then the undetermined coefficient is obtained by using a nonlinear regression method with reference to experimental and measured data to obtain a final wind stress coefficient expression. The present invention overcomes the shortcomings that a conventional wind stress coefficient expression considers only an impact of a single factor of wind speed, and breaks through the limitation that it is difficult to adapt to numerical simulation of lakes. A verification result of a Lake Tai water level shows that the constructed wind stress coefficient expression is more reasonable and superior. The present invention can be widely applied to the field of wind-wave-current numerical simulation studies on lakes, oceans and other waters.
