Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of hydraulic engineering, and particularly relates to a mountainous navigation channel complex section excavation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The rapids and dangerous shoals in the mountainous navigation channel usually have the characteristics of steep slope and turbulent flow. Such complex hydrological and geomorphological conditions can easily pose a threat to the safe navigation of ships. Due to the excessive speed of the water flow, the ships are prone to lose control when sailing in this area, especially when sailing upstream. The large flow rate leads to insufficient power, making navigation difficult, and even possible collisions and grounding. Therefore, rapids and dangerous shoals have become the main navigation-obstructing problems in mountainous navigation channels. In order to improve the safety and navigability of the channel, the method of excavating a navigation channel is usually adopted in engineering, which increases the size of the channel section to improve the navigation conditions. Increasing the section size not only helps to increase the depth and width of the channel to achieve the planned channel size, but also effectively slows down the water flow, reducing the difficulty of ship operation in the rapids. This excavation measure not only ensures the safe navigation of ships, but also improves the overall navigation efficiency of the mountainous navigation channel, which is a common and important means in mountainous navigation channel regulation projects.
[0003] The current mountainous navigation channel section excavation method can improve the channel conditions in engineering practice, but still has many deficiencies and shortcomings, especially in terms of economy and efficiency. First of all, the existing technology often relies on large-scale earth excavation to increase the size of the channel section, trying to reduce the water flow rate by expanding the depth and width of the navigation channel. However, as the amount of earth excavation increases, the effect of reducing the flow rate shows a decreasing trend. When the excavation amount exceeds a certain limit, even if the size of the section is increased, the decline in flow rate will no longer be significant, which means that the excavation benefit has decreased dramatically and effective flow rate control cannot be achieved.
[0004] Secondly, excessive reliance on large-scale section excavation not only leads to poor flow rate control, but also brings significant engineering economic problems. Since earth excavation requires a large amount of manpower, machinery and other resources, as the amount of excavation increases, the engineering cost will also rise sharply. Especially in the complex mountainous terrain and variable geological conditions, the difficulty of excavation increases, leading to further increase in construction costs. In addition, excessive section excavation can also generate a large amount of spoil, which needs to be properly handled, otherwise it may have a negative impact on the surrounding ecological environment and river stability. The disposal process of spoil also increases the overall investment of the project, bringing additional pressure on the economic feasibility of the project.
[0005] In addition, excessive excavation can cause other potential problems, such as excessive cross-section changes the water dynamic characteristics of the river, which can cause new turbulent flow areas or unstable flow patterns, thereby bringing additional channel regulation problems. Furthermore, large-scale excavation is destructive to the riverbed, which can easily cause instability of the riverbed, thereby causing problems such as redistribution or erosion of sediments, thereby posing new challenges to the safety of the channel.
[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a mountainous channel excavation method that can balance the channel regulation effect and economic feasibility. SUMMARY
[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a mountainous channel complex cross-section excavation method which aims to solve the problems of non-proportionality between earthwork excavation amount and flow velocity reduction effect, high engineering investment, environmental and cost problems caused by spoil disposal, and deterioration of riverbed stability and water dynamic conditions caused by excessive excavation.

[0016]
[0017] Height h of the first trench section 11 is:
[0018] h 11 = H - h 02 (2)
[0019] Bottom boundary width b of the first trench section 12 Take the channel design width B, and:
[0020] b 12 = B (3)

[0023] The channel area below the upper boundary of the first trench section is:

[0027] In the above technical solution, preferably, according to the measured data of the river section, the characteristic flow Q i to be calculated is determined, which must include the lowest navigable water level and the highest navigable water level;
[0028] The characteristic flow Q i is determined according to the hydrological analysis data, and the corresponding characteristic water level i ;
[0029] Corresponding to the i-th characteristic flow Q i , the water level is i , and the section area A i0 of the typical calculation section before excavation is measured from the section topographic map; from the section topographic map, the area A i02 enclosed by the characteristic water level i , the upper boundary 11 of the first trench section at the characteristic flow, and the typical calculation section can be measured and determined;
[0030] Before excavation of a typical calculation section under the i-th characteristic flow rate, the flow velocity V at the typical calculation section is... i0 for:
[0031]
[0032] After excavating the first and second trenches under the i-th characteristic flow rate, the area A of the typical calculated cross-section is... i1 for:
[0033] A i1 =A i02 +A 11 +A 12 (8)
[0034] After excavating the first and second trenches under the i-th characteristic flow rate, the flow velocity V at a typical calculation section is... i1 for:

[0038] In the above formula (10), i is taken as I at the lowest navigable water level, i is taken as II at the highest navigable water level, and several characteristic water levels are taken between the lowest and highest navigable water levels for calculation, i is denoted as III, IV, etc. Assume the excavation area A of the second trench is... 12j (j takes values of 0, 1, 2, ...) and varies from small to large. Based on formulas (1) to (10), the velocity change ΔV at typical cross-sections after excavating the first and second trenches is calculated respectively. ij The change in flow velocity at the cross-section at the lowest navigable water level is ΔV.

[0040] The mountainous area navigation trench compound section excavation method proposed by the present technology realizes the effective consideration of the satisfaction of the navigation planning scale and the reduction of the flow velocity by innovatively designing two excavation sections, and overcomes the problems of high investment, limited flow velocity reduction effect and increased spoil amount caused by large-scale excavation in the prior art. Its advantages and effects are reflected in multiple aspects:
[0041] Firstly, the method clearly proposes to excavate two sections to meet different needs, i.e. one section is used to ensure the planning scale of the navigation channel, and the other section is used to reduce the flow velocity. This clear division of labor design has high pertinence in section planning, making the function of each section clear and the target clear, so as to more effectively control the flow velocity and adjust the size of the navigation channel. Compared with the traditional single-section excavation method, the design of the compound section avoids unnecessary over-excavation, and can achieve the same or even better navigation improvement effect with less earthwork excavation amount.
[0042] Secondly, through this compound section structure, the flow velocity of the section can be significantly reduced, effectively improving the navigation safety of ships in mountainous rapids and dangerous shoal areas. Traditional methods often increase the excavation amount when facing complex flow conditions, but the flow velocity reduction effect is limited. The present technology reduces the water flow velocity by reasonably setting the size and shape of the second section, thereby relieving the difficulty of ship operation in rapids, especially when landing, which can significantly reduce the power shortage and operation errors caused by excessive flow velocity.
[0043] In addition, this compound section excavation method has good economy. By optimizing the excavation design, unnecessary large-scale earthwork excavation is avoided, directly reducing the investment and resource input required for the project. Since excessive excavation is no longer needed to achieve the goal of reducing the flow velocity, the total excavation amount of the project is significantly reduced, thereby reducing the construction cost. At the same time, due to the reduction of the earthwork excavation amount, the spoil amount is also reduced, thereby reducing the cost and environmental impact of spoil disposal. For such a complex environment as a mountainous river, the disposal of spoil is usually an expensive and time-consuming engineering problem, and the present technology indirectly improves the economic feasibility of the entire project by reducing the amount of spoil.
[0044] In addition, this method also takes into account environmental protection and engineering sustainability. While reducing the amount of earth excavation and spoil, it minimizes the disturbance to the riverbed and the surrounding ecological environment. Excessive disturbance during river regulation can lead to riverbed instability, which in turn can trigger new hydrological and ecological problems. By optimizing the excavation strategy, this technology minimizes the disturbance to the river channel, ensuring the effectiveness of the channel regulation and maintaining the stability of the river ecosystem.
[0045] Finally, this method also has strong adaptability and flexibility. Since the excavation area of the second section is determined by calculating the flow velocity variation curve under different characteristic flow rates, this technology can flexibly adjust the construction plan according to specific hydrological conditions, river characteristics and navigation requirements, ensuring that the section design meets the actual needs and avoids unnecessary resource waste. This high degree of flexibility enables the method to adapt to different types of mountainous river channels, enhancing its application range in practical engineering.
[0046] In summary, the mountainous navigation channel compound section excavation method proposed by this technology has significant advantages in terms of channel regulation effect, flow rate control, economy, environmental protection and adaptability. It not only effectively meets the requirements of channel planning scale, but also significantly reduces the flow rate, ensuring the safety of ship navigation, and to the greatest extent, reduces the engineering cost and environmental impact. It is an innovative mountainous navigation channel regulation scheme that takes into account economic benefits and engineering effects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
