Concrete Gravity DamThe type of dam selected for a site depends principally on topographic, geologic,hydrologic, and climatic conditions. Where more than one type can be built, alternative economic estimates are prepared and selection is based on economica considerations.Safety and performance are primary requirements, but construction time and materials often affect economic comparisons.Dam ClassificationDams are classified according to construction materials such as concrete or earth. Concrete dams are further classified as gravity, arch, buttress, or a combination of these. Earthfill dams are gravity dams built of either earth or rock materials, with particular provisions for spillways and seepage control.A concrete gravity dam depends on its own weight for structural stability. The dam may be straight or slightly curved, with the water load transmitted through the dam to the foundation material. Ordinarily, gravity dams have a base width of 0.7 to 0.9 the height of the dam. Solid rock provides the best foundation condition. However, many small concrete dams are built on previous or soft foundations and perform satisfactorily. A concrete gravity dam is well suited for use with an overflow spillway crest. Because of this advantage, it is often combined with an earthfill dam in wide flood plain sites.Arch dams are well suited to narrow V- or U-shaped canyons. Canyon walls must be of rock suitable for carrying the transmitted water load to the sides of the canyon by arch action. Arch sections carry the greatest part of the load; vertical elements carry sufficient load through cantilever action to produce cantilever deflections equal to arch deflections. Ordinarily, the crest length-to-height ratio should be less than 5, although greater ratios have been used. Generally, the base width of modern arch dams is 0.1 to 0.3 the height of the impounded water. A spillway may be designed into the crest of an arch dam.Multiple arches similarly transmit loads to the abutment or ends of the arch. This type of dam is suited to wider valleys. The main thrust and radial shears are transmitted to massive buttresses and then into the foundation material.Buttress dams include flat-slab, multiple-arch, roundhead-buttress, and multiple-dome types. The buttress dam adapts to all site locations. Downstream face slabs and aprons are used for overflow spillways similar to gravity dam spillways. Inclined sliding gates or light-weight low-head gates control the flow.The water loads are transmitted to the foundation by two systems of load-carrying members. The flat slabs, arches, or domes support the direct water load. The face slabs are supported by vertical buttresses. In most flat-slab buttress dams, steel reinforcement is used to carry thetension forces developed in the face slabs and buttress supports. Massive-head buttresses eliminate most tension forces and steel is not necessary.Combiantion designs may utilize one or more of the previously mentioned types of dams. For example, studies may indicate that an earthfill dam with a center concrete gravity overflow spillway section is the most economial in a wide, flat valley. Other design conditions may dictate a multiple-arch and buttress dam section or a buttress and gravity dam combination.Site ExplorationThe dam location is determined by the project’s functions. The exact site within the general location must be determined by careful project consideration and systematic studies.In preliminary studies, two primary factors must be determined-the topography at the site and characteristics of the foundation materials. The first choice of the type of dam is based primarily on these two factors. However, the final choice will usually be controlled by construction cost if other site factors are also considered.Asite exploration requires the preparation of an accurate topographic map for each possible site in the general location. The scale of the maps should be large enough for layout. Exploration primarily determines the conditions that make sites usable or unusable.From the site explorations, tentative sketches can be made of the dam location and project features such as power plants. Physical features at the site must be ascertained in order to make a sketch of the dam and determine the position of materials and work plant during construction. Other factors that may affect dam selection are roadways,fishways, locks, and log passages.TopographyTopography often determines the type of dam. For example, a narrow V-shaped channel may dictate an arch dam. The topography indicates surface characteristics of the valley and the relation of the contours to the various requirements of the structure. Soundness of the rock surface must be included in the topographic study.In a location study, one should select the best position for the dam. An accurate sketch of the dam and how it fits into the topographic features of the valley are often sufficient to permit initial cost estimates. The tentative location of the other dam features should be included in this sketch since items such as spillways can influence the type and location of the dam.Topographic maps can be made from aerial surveys and subsequent contour plotting or they can be obtained from governmental agencies. The topographic survey should be correlated with the site exploration to ensure accuracy. Topographic maps give only the surface profile at thesite. Further geological and foundation analyses are necessary for a final determination of dam feasibility.Foundation and Geological InvestigationFoundation and geological conditions determine the factors that support the weight of the dam. The foundation materials limit the type of dam to a great extent, although such limitations can be compensated for in design.Initial exploration may consist of a few core holes drilled along the tentatively selected site location. Their analysis in relation to the general geology of the area often rules out certain sites as unfeasible, particularly as dam height increases. Once the number of possible site locations has been narrowed down, more detailed geological investiagtions should be considered.The location of all faults, contacts, zones of permeability, fissures, and other underground conditions must be accurately defined. The probable required excavation depth at all points should be derived from the core drill analysis. Extensive drilling into rock formations isn’t necessary for small dams. However, as dam height and safety requirements increase, investigations should be increased in depth and number. If foundation materials are soft, extensive investigations should determine their depth,permeability, and bearing capacity. It is not always necessary orpossible to put a concrete dam on solid rock.The different foundations commonly encountered for dam construction are: (1)solid rock foundations, (2) gravel foundations, (3) silt or fine sand foundations, (4) clay foundations, and (5) nonuniform foundation materials. Small dams on soft foundation ( item 2 through item 5 ) present some additonal design problems such as settlement, prevention of piping, excessive percolation, and protection of foundation from downstream toe erosion. These conditions are above the normal design forces of a concrete dam on a rock foundation. The same problems also exist for earth dams.Geological formations can often be pictured in cross-section by a qualified geologist if he has certain core drill holes upon which to base his overall concept of the geology. However, the plans and specifications should not contain this overall geological concept. Only the logs of the core drill holes should be included for the contractor’s estimates. However, the geological picture of the underlying formations is a great aid in evaluating the dam safety. The appendix consists of excerpts from a geologic report for the site used in the design examples.HydrologyHydrology studies are necessary to estimate diversion requirements during construction, to establish frequency of use of emergency spillways in conjunction with outlets or spillways, to determine peak dischargeestimates for diversion dams, and to provide the basis for power generation. Hydrologic studies are complex; however, simplified procedures may be used for small dams if certain conservative estimates are made to ensure structural safety.Formulas are only a guide to preliminary plans and design computations. The empirical equations provide only peak discharge estimates. However, the designer is more interested in the runoff volume associated with discharge and the time distribution of the flow. With these data, the designer knows both the peak discharge and the total inflow into the reservoir area. This provides a basis for making reliable diversion estimates for irrigation projects, water supply, or power generation.A reliable study of hydrology enables the designer to select the proper spillway capacity to ensure safety. The importance of a safe spillway cannot be overemphasized. Insufficient spillways have caused failures of dams. Adequate spillway capacity is of paramount importance for earthfill and rockfill dams. Concrete dams may be able to withstand moderate overtopping.Spillways release excess water that cannot be retained in the storage space of the reservoir. In the preliminary site exploration, the designer must consider spillway size and location. Site conditions greatly influence the selection of location, type, and components of a spillway. The design flows that the spillway must carry without endangering the dam areequally important. Therefore, study of streamflow is just as critical as the foundation and geological studies of the site.附录2外文翻译混凝土重力坝一个坝址的坝型选择,主要取决于地形、地质、水文和气候条件。

Enter water mouth baseplate height 108 meters. Pressure input water pipeline for carry person who in charge of, interior diameter 12.40, adopt the armored concrete to receive the strength structure. Make and let out flow of 102500 cubic meters per second the most largely in the dam site while checking the flood.2. power stationsThe power stations adopt the type after the dam to assign the scheme, consist of two groups of factory buildings on left, right and underground factory building altogether. Install 32 sets of hydroelectric generating set together, 14 factory buildings of left bank among them, 12 factory buildings of right bank, 6 underground factory buildings. The hydraulic turbine, in order to mix the flowing type, the specified capacity of the unit of the unit is 700,000 kilowatts.3. open up to navigation buildingThe open up to navigation buildings include permanent lock and ship lift (of the the technological public relations, the steel cable that plans to be replaced with spiral pole technology in the original plan promotes technology), lie in the left bank. Permanent lock double-line five continuous chain of locks. Single grades of floodgate room effective size for 280*34*5, can pass the 10,000 ton-class fleet. The promoting type for single track first grade vertically of the ship lift is designed, it is 120*18*3.5 meters to bear the effective size of design of railway carriage or compartment of ship, can pass a combination vessel of 3000 tons once. Total weight is 11800 tons to bear the design of railway carriage or compartment of ship when operating, it is 6000 newtons to always promote strength.Three.The major project amount and arranges in time limit The subject building of the project and major project amount of the waterconservancy diversion project are: Excavate 102,830,000 cubic meters in cubic metre of earth and stone, fill out and build 31,980,000 cubic meters in cubic metre of earth and stone, concrete builds 27,940,000 cubic meters, 463,000 tons of reinforcing bars, make and fit 32 with hydroelectric generating set. All project construction tasks were divided into three stages and finished, all time limit was 17 years. The first stage (1993-1997 year) is preparation of construction and the first stage of the project, it takes 5 years to construct, regard realizing damming in the great river as the sign. The second stage (1998-2003 year) is the second stage, it takes 6 years to construct, lock as initial conservation storage of the reservoir, the first batch of aircrews generate electricity and is open up to navigation with the permanent lock as. The third stage (2004-2009 year) is the third stage of the project, it takes 6 years to construct, regard realizing the sign all aircrews generate electricity and finish building with all of multi-purpose project as. One, two project finish as scheduled already, the third stage of the project in inside the plan to construct too, ship lift tackle key problems of not going on intensely.Four. Enormous benefit of the Three Gorges Projects The Three Gorges Projects is the greatest water control project in China ,also in the world , it is the key project in controlling and developing the Changjiang River. The normal water storage level of the Three Gorges Projects reservoir is 175 meters, installed capacity is 39,300 million cubic meters; The total length of the reservoir is more than 600 kilometers, width is 1.1 kilometers on average; The area of the reservoir is 1084 sq. km.. It has enormous comprehensive benefits such as preventing flood, generating electricity, shipping,etc..1. prevent floodPrimary goal of building the Three Gorges Projects is to prevent flood . The key water control project in Sanxia is the key project that the midstream and downstream of the Changjiang River prevent flood in the system. Regulated and stored by the reservoir of Sanxia, form the capacity of reservoir in the upper reaches as river type reservoir of 39,300 million cubic meters, can regulate storage capacity and reach 22,150 million cubic meters, can intercept the flood came above of Yichang effectively, cut down flood crest flow greatly, make Jingjiang section prevent floodstandard meet, improve from at present a about over ten years to once-in-a-hundred-year. Meet millennium first special great flood that meet, can cooperate with Jingjiang flood diversion partition application of flood storage project, the crushing calamity of preventing the occurrence of both sides of section of Jingjiang and bursting in the main dike, lighten midstream and downstream losing and flood threat to Wuhan of big flood, and can create conditions for administration of Dongting Hu district.2. generates electricityThe most direct economic benefits of the Three Gorges Projects is to generate electricity . Equilibrate the contradiction that contemporary China develops economic and serious energy shortage at a high speed, the hydroelectric resources that a clean one can be regenerated are undoubtedly optimum choices. The total installed capacity of power station of Sanxia is 18,200,000 kilowatts, annual average generation is 84,680 million kilowatt hours. It will offer the reliable, cheap, clean regenerated energy for areas such as East China, Central China and South China of economic development, energy deficiency,etc.It play a great role in economic development and environmental pollution of reducing.Electric power resource that the Three Gorges Projects offers, if given a workforce of electricity generation by thermal power, mean building 10 more thermal power plants of 1,800,000 kilowatts, excavate more 50 million tons of raw coals every year on average. Besides environment of influencing of the waste residue, it will also discharge a large number of carbon dioxide which form the global greenhouse effects every year, cause the sulfur dioxide of acid rain, poisonous gas carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide. At the same time, it will also produce a large amount of floating dust, dustfall,etc… Thermal power plant and abandon dreg field extensive occupation of land seize more land from East China, Central China area that have a large population and a few land just originally this. This not only makes China bear the pressure that greater environment brings in the future, cause unfavorable influence on the global environment too.3. shippingSanxia reservoir improve Yichang go to Chongqing channel of the ChangjiangRiver of 660 kilometers notably, the 10,000 ton-class fleet can go to the harbour of Chongqing directly. The channel can rise to 50 million tons from about 10 million tons at present through ability in one-way year, transporting the cost can be reduced by 35-37%. Unless until reservoir regulate, Yichang low water flows minimum seasons downstream,whose name is can since at present 3000 cubic meters /second improve until 5000 cubic meters per above second, the shipping condition get greater improvement too to enable the Changjiang River in low water season of midstream and downstream.Five. The questions in building the Three Gorges Projects1. silt issuethe Changjiang River Yichang Duan Nian amount of sand failed 530 million tons, silt the reservoir of Sanxia up. The reservoir blocks water level is 175 meters high, installed capacity is 39,300 million m3 normally,its die water level is 145 meters, the minimum capacity of a reservoir is 17,200 million m3, storage capacity 22,100 million m3, the conservation storage regulates the capacity of reservoir 16,500 million m3. The operation scheme of the reservoir is: Limit height is 145 meters of water level, in flood season, meet flood adjust big under 56700 m3 per second, and power station smooth to let out through deep hole over 3 years, can reduce the sand of the reservoir to deposit. Great flood comes, the reservoir is adjusted bigly, still put and let out 56700 m3per second; Deposit towards the reservoir after the flood. The reservoir begins conservation storage, between about two months and normal water storage level 175 meters high in September. The water level of the storehouse is dropped to 155 meters high before the flood next year, utilize conservation storage to generate electricity. In 155 meters water level, can keep the river shipping of Sichuan. By flood season, the water level was dropped to 145 meters water level again, because the flow was large at that time, could keep the river shipping of Sichuan. This is a reservoir operation scheme of innovation.2. question that the slope comes down by the bank of reservoir areaThe question that the slope comes down is through detailed geological survey by 2 reservoir area banks, there is several to come down potentially on water bank of Kuku of Sanxia, the big one can be up to millions of m3. But closest to dam sitepotential landslide, too far on 26 kilometers, such as happen, come down, shock wave that evoke get dam disappear, reduce 2-3 meters to to be high, it is safe not to influence the dam. In addition, if the slippery wave happens in the bank of the storehouse, because the reservoir is wide and deep, will not influence shipping.3. engineering question of the pivotThe pivot of Three Gorges is 185 meters high concrete gravity dam pivots and 18,200,000kW, the project amount is large, but all regular projects after all, our country has more experience. The stability problem of some foundation can meet the safe requirement through dealing with. 700,000kW hydroelectric generating set, imported from foreign countries in the first batch, was made by oneself at home later. The more complicated one is lock of five grades of Line two, deep-cut in the rock bank, slope reaches 170 meters at the supreme side, the underpart floodgate room vertical 60 meters, high rock slope stability worries about. But the meticulous research of engineer and constructors is designed, blown up and the anchor is firm and excavating, the rock slope is steady in a long-term. There is ship lift of 3000t passenger steamer, it is the biggest in the world, in course of designing and studying, and repair the test and use the ship lift first.4.ecological environment problemThe respect useful to ecological environment of the Three Gorges Projects is: Prevent and cure downstream land and cities and towns to flood, reduce the air pollution of electricity generation by thermal power, improve some climate, the reservoir can breed fish etc.. The respect disadvantageous to ecology is: Flood more than 300,000 mu of cultivated land, ground of fruit is more than 200,000 mu, immigrants reach the highland by the storehouse, will destroy the ecological environment, the still water weakens the sewage self-purification ability, worsen water quality, influence reproduction of the wild animal,etc. in the reservoir. So is both advantageous and disadvantageous, do not hinder building the Three Gorges Projects. Should reduce being unfavorable to minimum extent, it is mainly that reservoir immigrants want to plant trees and grass, build the terraced fields, ecological environment protection, does not require the self-sufficiency of grain. Accomplish these, want making a great effort and fund. Control blowdown such as Chongqing,Fuling, Wan County, carry on sewage disposal, protect the water quality of the reservoir, protect the wild animal, set up the protection zone. Although ecological environment protection is difficult, must solve and can solve. As for the scenery of Sanxia, because the high near kilometer of rock bank, and Sanxia dam is only in fact higher than the river surface 110 meters. The scenery basically remains unchanged, the high gorge produces Pinghu, increase even more beautifully.Six. Immigrant's question in the reservoir areaThe reservoir of Sanxia will flood 632 sq. km. of land area, will involve Chongqing, 20 county (market) of Hubei. The reservoir of Sanxia floods and involves 2 cities, 11 county towns, 116 market towns; Flood or flood 1599 of industrial and mining enterprises that influence, reservoir flood line there are 24,500 hectares of cultivated land in all; Flood 824.25 kilometers of highways, 92,200 kilowatts of power stations; The area of house of flooding area is 34,596,000 square meters, total population of living in the flooding area is 844,100 people (agricultural population 361,500 people among them). Consider population growth and other factors of moving etc. two times during construction, the total population of trends of reservoir immigration allocation of Sanxia will be up to 1,130,000 people. The task is arduous, but must find a room for good immigrants, make its life improve to some extent, help immigrants to create the working condition, live plainly and struggle hard through 20 years, grow rich. Most immigrants retreat to the highland, it is nonlocal that some immigrants get. The reservoir of Sanxia will flood 632 sq. km. of land area, will involve Chongqing, 20 county (market) of Hubei. The reservoir of Sanxia floods and involves 2 cities, 11 county towns, 116 market towns; Flood or flood 1599 of industrial and mining enterprises that influence, reservoir flood line own cultivated land (suck the ground of mandarin orange) 24,500 hectares in common; Flood 824.25 kilometers of highways, 92,200 kilowatts of power stations; The area of house of flooding area is 34,596,000 square meters, The total population of living in the flooding area is 844,100 people (agricultural population 361,500 people among them). Consider population growth and other factors of moving etc. two times during construction, the total population of trends of reservoir immigration allocation of Sanxia will be up to 1,130,000 people.1.exploration and opening of the immigrants in SanxiaThe exploration of an immigrant in Sanxia and open country are in the engineering construction of Sanxia, implement immigrant's policy of the exploration, relevant people's governments organize and lead immigrants to arrange work, use immigrant's funds in a unified manner, exploit natural resources rationally, based on agriculture, the agriculture,industry and commerce combine, through many channel, many industries, multi-form, many method find a room for immigrants properly, immigrants' living standard reach or exceed originally and competently, and create the condition for long-term economic development and improvement of immigrant's living standard of reservoir area of Three Gorges. Immigrant's policy of the exploration, is a great reform of the reservoir immigrants of our country. Policy this, and reservoir area of Three Gorges immigrant put forward at the foundation of pilot project eight year in experience and lessons that immigrant work since new China set up of summarizing. At the beginning of reservoir immigrants in Sanxia, carry out exploration immigrants' principles and policies, insist the country supports, the policy is favourable, each side supports, principle of relying on one's own efforts, appeared by the government, develop local resources in a planned way, expand the capacity of placing, help, offer service of forming a complete set, wide to open up, produce the life way, make it reach " take out offing, goal that so steady as to live, can get rich progressively ". Meanwhile, the country approves reservoir area of Three Gorges as " the open economic region of Sanxia ", enjoy some special policies opening to the outside world in the coastal area, call the immigrants in Sanxia of the developed coordinated cooperation of province and city, immigrant's enterprises and relevant The factor of production has been pushed to the broader large market. The governments at all levels of reservoir area of Three Gorges have issued some development coordinated cooperation, favourable measure inviting outside investment too. Reservoir area immigrant demonstrate with open to urge, develop, in order to develop, urge benign situation that place.2. reorganization and expansion of the immigrants in SanxiaThe reorganization of immigrants in Sanxia and the expansion immigrants in Sanxia are that one involve undertaking that the society of reservoir area reconstruct,resources are recombinated, the recombinating is one of the prominent characteristics of the immigrants in Sanxia, move the fundamental difference duplicated with traditional simple compensation immigrants, former state too. Implement immigrant's policy of the exploration, must demand to combine immigrants to move, reconfigure the factor of production, thus improve the disposition efficiency of resources, form new productivity. Expand while being what is called, expansion of scale, improvement of structure even more, function strengthen improvement of quality. Look with the view of development economics and implement the course of exploration immigrants, it is the course of economic expansion of reservoir area. Exploration immigrants begin from expanding, and ending at realizing expanding, the course that the whole immigrant move and rebuild one's home is running through economic expansion, full of to the yearning that expands in the future. Certainly, in actual operation, should set out from immigrant's reality to pay attention to all, insist reason is expanded.Seven. Investment and benefit questionInvests 90,090 million yuan (1993 price) in investment and the Three Gorges Projects static behavior of benefit question, invests more than about 200 billion yuan dynamically while finishing in project. The investment source of the Three Gorges Projects is as follows, state loan, state-run hydropower station each of price of electricity raise the price 0.4-0.7 fen, power station electric rate income of Ge Zhou Ba, the electric rate income after the power station of Sanxia generates electricity wait for, the country has this financial resources to guarantee to invest in putting in place. About benefit, it is estimated it in ten years after the Three Gorges Projects is built up, total project investment principal and interest, unless including project fee and fee for immigration, can have repaid with electric rate income,it prevent flood, shipping,etc. share make the investment. And the Three Gorges Projects prevent flood, generate electricity, shipping,etc. benefit long-term, and enormous social benefit. Therefore, benefit of the Three Gorges Projects is very great, there is increase slightly to even make the investment, it is very rational too to repay service life to slightly lengthen.三峡水利枢纽工程一、坝址及基本枢纽布置三峡工程大坝坝址选定在宜昌市三斗坪,在已建成的葛洲坝水利枢纽上游约40km处。

This is attributed mainly to low cost of materials and construction for concrete structures as well as low cost of maintenance.Therefore, it is not surprising that many advancements in concrete technology have occurred as a result of two driving forces, namely the speed of construction and the durability of concrete.During the period 1940-1970, the availability of high early strength portland cements enabled the use of high water content in concrete mixtures that were easy to handle. This approach, however, led to serious problems with durability of structures, especially those subjected to severe environmental exposures.With us lightweight concrete is a development mainly of the last twenty years.Concrete technology is the making of plentiful good concrete cheaply. It includes the correct choice of the cement and the water, and the right treatment of the aggregates. Those which are dug near by and therefore cheap, must be sized, washed free of clay or silt, and recombined in the correct proportions so as to make a cheap concrete which is workable at a low water/cement ratio, thus easily comoacted to a high density and therefore strong.It hardens with age and the process of hardening continues for a long time after the concrete has attained sufficient strength.Abrams’law, perhaps the oldest law of concrete technology, states that the strength of a concrete varies inversely with its water cement ratio. This means that the sand content (particularly the fine sand which needs much water) must be reduced so far as possible. The fact that the sand “drinks” large quantities of water can easily be established by mixing several batches of x kg of cement with y kg of stone and the same amount of water but increasing amounts of sand. However if there is no sand the concrete will be so stiff that it will be unworkable thereforw porous and weak. The same will be true if the sand is too coarse. Therefore for each set of aggregates, the correct mix must not be changed without good reason. This applied particularly to the water content.Any drinkable and many undrinkable waters can be used for making concrete, including most clear waters from the sea or rivers. It is important that clay should be kept out of the concrete. The cement if fresh can usually be chosen on the basis of the maker’s certificates of tensile or crushing tests, but these are always made with fresh cement. Where strength is important , and the cement at the site is old, it should be tested.This stress , causing breakage,will be a tension since concretes are from 9 to 11times as strong in compression as in tension, This stress, the modulus of rupture, will be roughly double the direct tensile breaking stress obtained in a tensile testing machine,so a very rough guess at the conpressive strength can be made by multiplying the modulus of rupture by 4.5. The method can be used in combination with the strength results of machine-crushed cubes or cylinders or tensile test pieces but cannot otherwise be regarded as reliable. With these comparisons,however, it is suitable for comparing concretes on the same site made from the same aggregates and cement, with beams cast and tested in the same way.Extreme care is necessary for preparation,transport,plating and finish of concrete in construction works.It is important to note that only a bit of care and supervision make a great difference between good and bad concrete.The following factors may be kept in mind in concreting works.MixingThe mixing of ingredients shall be done in a mixer as specified in the contract.Handling and ConveyingThe handling&conveying of concrete from the mixer to the place of final deposit shall be done as rapidly as practicable and without any objectionable separation or loss of ingredients.Whenever the length of haul from the mixing plant to the place of deposit is such that the concrete unduly compacts or segregates,suitable agitators shall be installed in the conveying system.Where concrete is being conveyed on chutes or on belts,the free fall or drop shall be limited to 5ft.(or 150cm.) unless otherwise permitted.The concrete shall be placed in position within 30 minutes of its removal from the mixer.Placing ConcreteNo concrete shall be placed until the place of deposit has been thoroughly inspected and approved,all reinforcement,inserts and embedded metal properly security in position and checked,and forms thoroughly wetted(expect in freezing weather)or oiled.Placing shall be continued without avoidable interruption while the section is completed or satisfactory construction joint made.Within FormsConcrete shall be systematically deposited in shallow layers and at such rate as to maintain,until the completion of the unit,a plastic surface approximately horizontal throughout.Each layer shall be thoroughly compacted before placing the succeeding layer.CompactingMethod. Concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by means of suitable tools during and immediately after depositing.The concrete shall be worked around all reinforcement,embedded fixtures,and into the comers of the forms.Every precaution shall be taken to keep the reinforcement and embedded metal in proper position and to prevent distortion.Vibrating. Wherever practicable,concrete shall be internally vibrated within the forms,or in the mass,in order to increase the plasticity as to compact effectively to improve the surface texture and appearance,and to facilitate placing of the concrete.Vibration shall be continued the entire batch melts to a uniform appearance and the surface just starts to glisten.A minute film of cement paste shall be discernible between the concrete and the form and around the reinforcement.Over vibration causing segregation,unnecessary bleeding or formation of laitance shall be avoided.The effect spent on careful grading, mixing and compaction of concrete will be largely wasted if the concrete is badly cured. Curing means keeping the concretethoroughly damp for some time, usually a week, until it has reached the desired strength. So long as concrete is kept wet it will continue to gain strength, though more slowly as it grows older.Admixtures or additives to concrete are materials arematerials which are added to it or to the cement so as to improve one or more of the properties of the concrete. The main types are:1. Accelerators of set or hardening,2. Retarders of set or hardening,3. Air-entraining agents, including frothing or foaming agents,4. Gassing agents,5. Pozzolanas, blast-furnace slag cement, pulverized coal ash,6. Inhibitors of the chemical reaction between cement and aggregate, which might cause the aggregate to expand7. Agents for damp-proofing a concrete or reducing its permeability to water,8. Workability agents, often called plasticizers,9. Grouting agents and expanding cements.Wherever possible, admixtures should be avouded, particularly those that are added on site. Small variations in the quantity added may greatly affect the concrete properties in an undesiraale way. An accelerator can often be avoided by using a rapid-hardening cement or a richer mix with ordinary cement, or for very rapid gain of strength, high-alumina cement, though this is very much more expensive, in Britain about three times as costly as ordinary Portland cement. But in twenty-four hours its strength is equal to that reached with ordinary Portland cement in thirty days.A retarder may have to be used in warm weather when a large quantity of concrete has to be cast in one piece of formwork, and it is important that the concrete cast early in the day does not set before the last concrete. This occurs with bridges when they are cast in place, and the formwork necessarily bends underthe heavy load of the wet concrete. Some retarders permanently weaken the concrete and should not be used without good technical advice.A somewhat similar effect,milder than that of retarders, is obtained with low-heat cement. These may be sold by the cement maker or mixed by the civil engineering contractor. They give out less heat on setting and hardening, partly because they harden more slowly, and they are used in large casts such as gravity dams, where the concrete may take years to cool down to the temperature of the surrounding air. In countries like Britain or France, where pulverized coal is burnt in the power stations, the ash, which is very fine, has been mixed with cement to reduce its production of heat and its cost without reducing its long-term strength. Up to about 20 per cent ash by weight of the cement has been successfully used, with considerable savings in cement costs.In countries where air-entraining cement cement can be bought from the cement maker, no air-entraining agent needs to be mixed in .When air-entraining agents draw into the wet cement and concrete some 3-8 percent of air in the form of very small bubbles, they plasticize the concrete, making it more easily workable and therefore enable the water |cement ratio to be reduced. They reduce the strength of the concrete slightly but so little that in the United States their use is now standard practice in road-building where heavy frost occur. They greatly improve the frost resistance of the concrete.Pozzolane is a volcanic ash found near the Italian town of Puzzuoli, which is a natural cement. The name has been given to all natural mineral cements, as well as to the ash from coal or the slag from blast furnaces, both of which may become cementswhen ground and mixed with water. Pozzolanas of either the industrial or the mineral type are important to civil engineers because they have been added to oridinary Portland cement in proportions up to about 20 percent without loss of strength in the cement and with great savings in cement cost. Their main interest is in large dams, where they may reduce the heat given out by the cement during hardening. Some pozzolanas have been known to prevent the action between cement and certain aggregates which causes the aggregate to expand, and weaken or burst the concrete.The best way of waterproof a concrete is to reduce its permeability by careful mix design and manufacture of the concrete, with correct placing and tighr compaction in strong formwork ar a low water|cement ratio. Even an air-entraining agent can be used because the minute pores are discontinuous. Slow, careful curing of the concrete improves the hydration of the cement, which helps to block the capillary passages through the concrete mass. An asphalt or other waterproofing means the waterproofing of concrete by any method concerned with the quality of the concrete but not by a waterproof skin.Workability agents, water-reducing agents and plasticizers are three names for the same thing, mentioned under air-entraining agents. Their use can sometimes be avoided by adding more cement or fine sand, or even water, but of course only with great care.The rapid growth from 1945 onwards in the prestressing of concrete shows that there was a real need for this high-quality structural material. The quality must be high because the worst conditions of loading normally occur at the beginning of the life of the member, at the transfer of stress from the steel to theconcrete. Failure is therefore more likely then than later, when the concrete has become stronger and the stress in the steel has decreased because of creep in the steel and concrete, and shrinkage of the concrete. Faulty members are therefore observed and thrown out early, before they enter the structure, or at least before it The main advantages of prestressed concrete in comparison with reinforced concrete are :①The whole concrete cross-section resists load. In reinforced concrete about half the section, the cracked area below the neutral axis, does no useful work. Working deflections are smaller.②High working stresses are possible. In reinforced concrete they are not usually possible because they result in severe cracking which is always ugly and may be dangerous if it causes rusting of the steel.③Cracking is almost completely avoided in prestressed concrete.The main disadvantage of prestressed concrete is that much more care is needed to make it than reinforced concrete and it is therefore more expensive, but because it is of higher quality less of it needs to be needs to be used. It can therefore happen that a solution of a structural problem may be cheaper in prestressed concrete than in reinforced concrete, and it does often happen that a solution is possible with prestressing but impossible without it.Prestressing of the concrete means that it is placed under compression before it carries any working load. This means that the section can be designed so that it takes no tension or very little under the full design load. It therefore has theoretically no cracks and in practice very few. The prestress is usually applied by tensioning the steel before the concrete in which it isembedded has hardened. After the concrete has hardened enough to take the stress from the steel to the concrete. In a bridge with abutments able to resist thrust, the prestress can be applied without steel in the concrete. It is applied by jacks forcing the bridge inwards from the abutments. This methods has the advantage that the jacking force, or prestress, can be varied during the life of the structure as required.In the ten years from 1950 to 1960 prestressed concrete ceased to be an experinmental material and engineers won confidence in its use. With this confidence came an increase in the use of precast prestressed concrete particularly for long-span floors or the decks of motorways. Whereever the quantity to be made was large enough, for example in a motorway bridge 500 m kong , provided that most of the spans could be made the same and not much longer than 18m, it became economical to usefactory-precast prestressed beams, at least in industrial areas near a precasting factory prestressed beams, at least in industrial areas near a precasting factory. Most of these beams are heat-cured so as to free the forms quickly for re-use.In this period also, in the United States, precast prestressed roof beams and floor beams were used in many school buildings, occasionally 32 m long or more. Such long beams over a single span could not possibly be successful in reinforced concrete unless they were cast on site because they would have to be much deeper and much heavier than prestressed concrete beams. They would certainlly be less pleasing to the eye and often more expensive than the prestressed concrete beams. These school buildings have a strong, simple architectural appeal and will be a pleasure to look at for many years.The most important parts of a precast prestressed concrete beam are the tendons and the concrete. The tendons, as the name implies, are the cables, rods or wires of steel which are under tension in the concrete.Before the concrete has hardened (before transfer of stress), the tendons are either unstressed (post-tensioned prestressing) or are stressed and held by abutments outside the concrete ( pre-tensioned prestressing). While the concrete is hardening it grips each tendon more and more tightly by bond along its full length. End anchorages consisting of plates or blocks are placed on the ends of the tendons of post-tensioned prestressed units, and such tendons are stressed up at the time of transfer, when the concrete has hardened sufficiently. In the other type of pretressing, with pre-tensioned tendons, the tendons are released from external abutments at the moment of transfer, and act on the concrete through bond or archorage or both, shortening it by compression, and themselves also shortening and losing some tension.Further shortening of the concrete (and therefore of the steel) takes place with time. The concrete is said to creep. This means that it shortens permanently under load and spreads the stresses more uniformly and thus more safely across its section. Steel also creeps, but rather less. The result of these two effects ( and of the concrete shrinking when it dries ) is that prestressed concrete beams are never more highly stressed than at the moment of transfer.The factory precasting of long prestressed concrete beams is likely to become more and more popular in the future, but one difficulty will be road transport. As the length of the beam increases, the lorry becomes less and less manoeuvrable untileventually the only suitable time for it to travel is in the middle of the night when traffic in the district and the route, whether the roads are straight or curved. Precasting at the site avoids these difficulties; it may be expensive, but it has often been used for large bridge beams.混凝土工艺及发展波特兰水泥混凝土在当今世界已成为建造数量繁多、种类复杂结构的首选材料。

中英文翻译原文:DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETESTRUCTURES1. BASIC CONCERPTS AND CHARACERACTERISTICS OF REINFORCED CONCRETEPlain concrete is formed from hardened mixture of cement, water , fine aggregate , coarse aggregate (crushed stone or gravel ) , air and often other admixtures . The plastic mix is placed and consolidated in the formwork, then cured to accelerate of the chemical hydration of hen cement mix and results in a hardened concrete. It is generally known that concrete has high compressive strength and low resistance to tension. Its tensile strength is approximatelyone-tenth of its compressive strength. Consequently, tensile reinforcement in the tension zone has to be provided to supplement the tensile strength of the reinforced concrete section.For example, a plain concrete beam under a uniformly distributed load q is shown in Fig .1.1(a), when the distributed load increases and reaches a value q=1.37KN/m , the tensile region at the mid-span will be cracked and the beam will fail suddenly . A reinforced concrete beam if the same size but has to steel reinforcing bars (2φ16) embedded at the bottom under a uniformly distributed load q is shown in Fig.1.1(b). The reinforcing bars take up the tension there after the concrete is cracked. When the load q is increased, the width of the cracks, the deflection and the stress of steel bars will increase . When the steel approaches the yielding stress ƒy , the deflection and the cracked width are so large offering some warning that the compression zone . The failure load q=9.31KN/m, is approximately 6.8 times that for the plain concrete beam.Concrete and reinforcement can work together because there is a sufficiently strong bond between the two materials, there are no relative movements of the bars and the surrounding concrete cracking. The thermal expansion coefficients of the two materials are 1.2×10-5K-1 for steel and 1.0×10-5~1.5×10-5K-1 for concrete .Generally speaking, reinforced structure possess following features :Durability .With the reinforcing steel protected by the concrete , reinforced concreteFig.1.1Plain concrete beam and reinforced concrete beamIs perhaps one of the most durable materials for construction .It does not rot rust , and is not vulnerable to efflorescence .(2)Fire resistance .Both concrete an steel are not inflammable materials .They would not be affected by fire below the temperature of 200℃ when there is a moderate amount of concrete cover giving sufficient thermal insulation to the embedded reinforcement bars.(3)High stiffness .Most reinforced concrete structures have comparatively large crosssections .As concrete has high modulus of elasticity, reinforced concrete structures are usually stiffer than structures of other materials, thus they are less prone to large deformations, This property also makes the reinforced concrete less adaptable to situations requiring certainflexibility, such as high-rise buildings under seismic load, and particular provisions have to be made if reinforced concrete is used.(4)Locally available resources. It is always possible to make use of the local resources of labour and materials such as fine and coarse aggregates. Only cement and reinforcement need to be brought in from outside provinces.(5)Cost effective. Comparing with steel structures, reinforced concrete structures arecheaper. 1.37kn/m6m 200 400(a)plain concrete beam 9.31kn/m6m 200 400(b)Reinfoced concrete beam2φ16(6)Large dead mass, The density of reinforced concrete may reach2400~2500kg/pare with structures of other materials, reinforced concrete structures generally have a heavy dead mass. However, this may be not always disadvantageous, particularly for those structures which rely on heavy dead weight to maintain stability, such as gravity dam and other retaining structure. The development and use of light weight aggregate have to a certain extent make concrete structure lighter.(7)Long curing period.. It normally takes a curing period of 28 day under specified conditions for concrete to acquire its full nominal strength. This makes the progress of reinforced concrete structure construction subject to seasonal climate. The development of factory prefabricated members and investment in metal formwork also reduce the consumption of timber formwork materials.(8)Easily cracked. Concrete is weak in tension and is easily cracked in the tension zone. Reinforcing bars are provided not to prevent the concrete from cracking but to take up the tensile force. So most of the reinforced concrete structure in service is behaving in a cracked state. This is an inherent is subjected to a compressive force before working load is applied. Thus the compressed concrete can take up some tension from the load.2. HISTOEICAL DEVELPPMENT OF CONCRETE STRUCTUREAlthough concrete and its cementitious(volcanic) constituents, such as pozzolanic ash, have been used since the days of Greek, the Romans, and possibly earlier ancient civilization, the use of reinforced concrete for construction purpose is a relatively recent event, In 1801, F. Concrete published his statement of principles of construction, recognizing the weakness if concrete in tension, The beginning of reinforced concrete is generally attributed to Frenchman J. L. Lambot, who in 1850 constructed, for the first time, a small boat with concrete for exhibition in the 1855 World’s Fair in Paris. In England, W. B. Wilkinson registered a patent for reinforced concrete l=floor slab in 1854.J.Monier, a French gardener used metal frames as reinforcement to make garden plant containers in 1867. Before 1870, Monier had taken a series of patents to make reinforced concrete pipes, slabs, and arches. But Monier had no knowledge of the working principle of this new material, he placed the reinforcement at the mid-depth of his wares. Then little construction was done in reinforced concrete. It is until 1887, when the German engineers Wayss and Bauschinger proposed to place the reinforcement in the tension zone, the use of reinforced concrete as a material of construction began to spread rapidly. In1906, C. A. P. Turner developed the first flat slab without beams.Before the early twenties of 20th century, reinforced concrete went through the initial stage of its development, Considerable progress occurred in the field such that by 1910 the German Committee for Reinforced Concrete, the Austrian Concrete Committee, the American Concrete Institute, and the British Concrete Institute were established. Various structural elements, such as beams, slabs, columns, frames, arches, footings, etc. were developed using this material. However, the strength of concrete and that of reinforcing bars were still very low. The common strength of concrete at the beginning of 20th century was about 15MPa in compression, and the tensile strength of steel bars was about 200MPa. The elements were designed along the allowable stresses which was an extension of the principles in strength of materials.By the late twenties, reinforced concrete entered a new stage of development. Many buildings, bridges, liquid containers, thin shells and prefabricated members of reinforced concrete were concrete were constructed by 1920. The era of linear and circular prestressing began.. Reinforced concrete, because of its low cost and easy availability, has become the staple material of construction all over the world. Up to now, the quality of concrete has been greatly improved and the range of its utility has been expanded. The design approach has also been innovative to giving the new role for reinforced concrete is to play in the world of construction.The concrete commonly used today has a compressive strength of 20~40MPa. For concrete used in pre-stressed concrete the compressive strength may be as high as 60~80MPa. The reinforcing bars commonly used today has a tensile strength of 400MPa, and the ultimate tensile strength of prestressing wire may reach 1570~1860Pa. The development of high strength concrete makes it possible for reinforced concrete to be used in high-rise buildings, off-shore structures, pressure vessels, etc. In order to reduce the dead weight of concrete structures, various kinds of light concrete have been developed with a density of 1400~1800kg/m3. With a compressive strength of 50MPa, light weight concrete may be used in load bearing structures. One of the best examples is the gymnasium of the University of Illinois which has a span of 122m and is constructed of concrete with a density of 1700kg/m3. Another example is the two 20-story apartment houses at the Xi-Bian-Men in Beijing. The walls of these two buildings are light weight concrete with a density of 1800kg/m3.The tallest reinforced concrete building in the world today is the 76-story Water Tower Building in Chicago with a height of 262m. The tallest reinforced concrete building in China today is the 63-story International Trade Center in GuangZhou with a height a height of 200m. The tallest reinforced concrete construction in the world is the 549m high International Television Tower in Toronto, Canada. He prestressedconcrete T-section simply supported beam bridge over the Yellow River in Luoyang has 67 spans and the standard span length is 50m.In the design of reinforced concrete structures, limit state design concept has replaced the old allowable stresses principle. Reliability analysis based on the probability theory has very recently been introduced putting the limit state design on a sound theoretical foundation. Elastic-plastic analysis of continuous beams is established and is accepted in most of the design codes. Finite element analysis is extensively used in the design of reinforced concrete structures and non-linear behavior of concrete is taken into consideration. Recent earthquake disasters prompted the research in the seismic resistant reinforced of concrete structures. Significant results have been accumulated.3. SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE COURSEReinforced concrete is a widely used material for construction. Hence, graduates of every civil engineering program must have, as a minimum requirement, a basic understanding of the fundamentals of reinforced concrete.The course of Reinforced Concrete Design requires the prerequisite of Engineering Mechanics, Strength of Materials, and some if not all, of Theory of Structures, In all these courses, with the exception of Strength of Materials to some extent, a structure is treated of in the abstract. For instance, in the theory of rigid frame analysis, all members have an abstract EI/l value, regardless of what the act value may be. But the theory of reinforced concrete is different, it deals with specific materials, concrete and steel. The values of most parameters must be determined by experiments and can no more be regarded as some abstract. Additionally, due to the low tensile strength of concrete, the reinforced concrete members usually work with cracks, some of the parameters such as the elastic modulus I of concrete and the inertia I of section are variable with the loads.The theory of reinforced concrete is relatively young. Although great progress has been made, the theory is still empirical in nature in stead of rational. Many formulas can not be derived from a few propositions, and may cause some difficulties for students. Besides, due to the difference in practice in different countries, most countries base their design methods on their own experience and experimental results. Consequently, what one learns in one country may be different in another country. Besides, the theory is still in a stage of rapid development and is subjected to revision according to new findings from research. In China, the design code undergoes major revision in about every fifteen years and with minor revision in between. This book is based on the latest current code in China “Code for Design of Concrete Structures”(GB50010-2002). The studentsmust keep in mind that this course can not give them the knowledge which is universally valid regardless of time and place, but the basic principles on which the current design method in the country is established.The desk calculator has made calculations to a high degree of precision possible and easy. Students must not forget that concrete is a man-made material and a 10% consistency in quality is remarkably good. Reinforcing bad=rs are rolled in factory, yet variation is=n strength may be as high as 5%. Besides, the position of bars in the formwork may deviate from their design positions. In fact two figure accuracy is adequate for almost all the cases, rather than carrying the calculations to meaningless precision. The time and effort of the designer are better spent to find out where the tension may occur to resist it by placing reinforcement there.中文译文:钢筋混凝土结构设计一、钢筋混凝土基本概念和特点混凝土是指由水泥胶凝的水、细致聚合体、粗聚合物(碎石或沙砾)、空气、以及其他混合物的坚硬混合物。

Hand Move Irrigation SystemsSummaryThe ‘hand move’ irrigation system is a very simple pipe set which can be moved by hand. Two main factors-—positioning and moving scheme of the equipment both affect the work time. Here we develop a model to complete the irrigation of the whole field by the shortest time。

Firstly, we decide the certain number of sprinklers through the designated parameter。

Using enumerative geometry, we compare the irrigation area of the system with different number of sprinklers and work out the optimum number of sprinklers。

Secondly, we take the advantage of combinatorial geometry to decide the positioning and moving scheme of the irrigation system,in order that the model can be used to realize the irrigation task by the shortest work time.In the end we also introduce a new sprinkler with square area and compare its working efficiency with the traditional sprinkler if we use it on this field。

中英文对照外文翻译(文档含英文原文和中文翻译)Reinforced ConcreteConcrete and reinforced concrete are used as building materials in every country. In many, including the United States and Canada, reinforced concrete is a dominant structural material in engineered construction. The universal nature of reinforced concrete construction stems from the wide availability of reinforcing bars and the constituents of concrete, gravel, sand, and cement, the relatively simple skills required in concrete construction, and the economy of reinforced concrete compared to other forms of construction. Concrete and reinforced concrete are used in bridges, buildings of all sorts underground structures, water tanks, television towers, offshore oil exploration and production structures, dams, and even in ships.Reinforced concrete structures may be cast-in-place concrete, constructed in their final location, or they may be precast concreteproduced in a factory and erected at the construction site. Concrete structures may be severe and functional in design, or the shape and layout and be whimsical and artistic. Few other building materials off the architect and engineer such versatility and scope.Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension. As a result, cracks develop whenever loads, or restrained shrinkage of temperature changes, give rise to tensile stresses in excess of the tensile strength of the concrete. In a plain concrete beam, the moments about the neutral axis due to applied loads are resisted by an internal tension-compression couple involving tension in the concrete. Such a beam fails very suddenly and completely when the first crack forms. In a reinforced concrete beam, steel bars are embedded in the concrete in such a way that the tension forces needed for moment equilibrium after the concrete cracks can be developed in the bars.The construction of a reinforced concrete member involves building a from of mold in the shape of the member being built. The form must be strong enough to support both the weight and hydrostatic pressure of the wet concrete, and any forces applied to it by workers, concrete buggies, wind, and so on. The reinforcement is placed in this form and held in place during the concreting operation. After the concrete has hardened, the forms are removed. As the forms are removed, props of shores are installed to support the weight of the concrete until it has reached sufficient strength to support the loads by itself.The designer must proportion a concrete member for adequate strength to resist the loads and adequate stiffness to prevent excessive deflections. In beam must be proportioned so that it can be constructed. For example, the reinforcement must be detailed so that it can be assembled in the field, and since the concrete is placed in the form after the reinforcement is in place, the concrete must be able to flow around, between, and past the reinforcement to fill all parts of the form completely.The choice of whether a structure should be built of concrete, steel, masonry, or timber depends on the availability of materials and on a number of value decisions. The choice of structural system is made by the architect of engineer early in the design, based on the following considerations:1. Economy. Frequently, the foremost consideration is the overall const of the structure. This is, of course, a function of the costs of the materials and the labor necessary to erect them. Frequently, however, the overall cost is affected as much or more by the overall construction time since the contractor and owner must borrow or otherwise allocate money to carry out the construction and will not receive a return on this investment until the building is ready for occupancy. In a typical large apartment of commercial project, the cost of construction financing will be a significant fraction of the total cost. As a result, financial savings due to rapid construction may more than offset increased material costs. For this reason, any measures the designer can take to standardize the design and forming will generally pay off in reduced overall costs.In many cases the long-term economy of the structure may be more important than the first cost. As a result, maintenance and durability are important consideration.2. Suitability of material for architectural and structural function.A reinforced concrete system frequently allows the designer to combine the architectural and structural functions. Concrete has the advantage that it is placed in a plastic condition and is given the desired shape and texture by means of the forms and the finishing techniques. This allows such elements ad flat plates or other types of slabs to serve as load-bearing elements while providing the finished floor and / or ceiling surfaces. Similarly, reinforced concrete walls can provide architecturally attractive surfaces in addition to having the ability to resist gravity, wind, or seismic loads. Finally, the choice of size of shape is governed by the designer and not by the availability of standard manufactured members.3. Fire resistance. The structure in a building must withstand the effects of a fire and remain standing while the building is evacuated and the fire is extinguished. A concrete building inherently has a 1- to 3-hour fire rating without special fireproofing or other details. Structural steel or timber buildings must be fireproofed to attain similar fire ratings.4. Low maintenance.Concrete members inherently require less maintenance than do structural steel or timber members. This is particularly true if dense, air-entrained concrete has been used forsurfaces exposed to the atmosphere, and if care has been taken in the design to provide adequate drainage off and away from the structure. Special precautions must be taken for concrete exposed to salts such as deicing chemicals.5. Availability of materials. Sand, gravel, cement, and concrete mixing facilities are very widely available, and reinforcing steel can be transported to most job sites more easily than can structural steel. As a result, reinforced concrete is frequently used in remote areas.On the other hand, there are a number of factors that may cause one to select a material other than reinforced concrete. These include:1. Low tensile strength.The tensile strength concrete is much lower than its compressive strength ( about 1/10 ), and hence concrete is subject to cracking. In structural uses this is overcome by using reinforcement to carry tensile forces and limit crack widths to within acceptable values. Unless care is taken in design and construction, however, these cracks may be unsightly or may allow penetration of water. When this occurs, water or chemicals such as road deicing salts may cause deterioration or staining of the concrete. Special design details are required in such cases. In the case of water-retaining structures, special details and / of prestressing are required to prevent leakage.2. Forms and shoring. The construction of a cast-in-place structure involves three steps not encountered in the construction of steel or timber structures. These are ( a ) the construction of the forms, ( b ) the removal of these forms, and (c) propping or shoring the new concrete to support its weight until its strength is adequate. Each of these steps involves labor and / or materials, which are not necessary with other forms of construction.3. Relatively low strength per unit of weight for volume.The compressive strength of concrete is roughly 5 to 10% that of steel, while its unit density is roughly 30% that of steel. As a result, a concrete structure requires a larger volume and a greater weight of material than does a comparable steel structure. As a result, long-span structures are often built from steel.4. Time-dependent volume changes. Both concrete and steel undergo-approximately the same amount of thermal expansion and contraction. Because there is less mass of steel to be heated or cooled,and because steel is a better concrete, a steel structure is generally affected by temperature changes to a greater extent than is a concrete structure. On the other hand, concrete undergoes frying shrinkage, which, if restrained, may cause deflections or cracking. Furthermore, deflections will tend to increase with time, possibly doubling, due to creep of the concrete under sustained loads.In almost every branch of civil engineering and architecture extensive use is made of reinforced concrete for structures and foundations. Engineers and architects requires basic knowledge of reinforced concrete design throughout their professional careers. Much of this text is directly concerned with the behavior and proportioning of components that make up typical reinforced concrete structures-beams, columns, and slabs. Once the behavior of these individual elements is understood, the designer will have the background to analyze and design a wide range of complex structures, such as foundations, buildings, and bridges, composed of these elements.Since reinforced concrete is a no homogeneous material that creeps, shrinks, and cracks, its stresses cannot be accurately predicted by the traditional equations derived in a course in strength of materials for homogeneous elastic materials. Much of reinforced concrete design in therefore empirical, i.e., design equations and design methods are based on experimental and time-proved results instead of being derived exclusively from theoretical formulations.A thorough understanding of the behavior of reinforced concrete will allow the designer to convert an otherwise brittle material into tough ductile structural elements and thereby take advantage of concrete’s desirable characteristics, its high compressive strength, its fire resistance, and its durability.Concrete, a stone like material, is made by mixing cement, water, fine aggregate ( often sand ), coarse aggregate, and frequently other additives ( that modify properties ) into a workable mixture. In its unhardened or plastic state, concrete can be placed in forms to produce a large variety of structural elements. Although the hardened concrete by itself, i.e., without any reinforcement, is strong in compression, it lacks tensile strength and therefore cracks easily. Because unreinforced concrete is brittle, it cannot undergo large deformations under load and failssuddenly-without warning. The addition fo steel reinforcement to the concrete reduces the negative effects of its two principal inherent weaknesses, its susceptibility to cracking and its brittleness. When the reinforcement is strongly bonded to the concrete, a strong, stiff, and ductile construction material is produced. This material, called reinforced concrete, is used extensively to construct foundations, structural frames, storage takes, shell roofs, highways, walls, dams, canals, and innumerable other structures and building products. Two other characteristics of concrete that are present even when concrete is reinforced are shrinkage and creep, but the negative effects of these properties can be mitigated by careful design.A code is a set technical specifications and standards that control important details of design and construction. The purpose of codes it produce structures so that the public will be protected from poor of inadequate and construction.Two types f coeds exist. One type, called a structural code, is originated and controlled by specialists who are concerned with the proper use of a specific material or who are involved with the safe design of a particular class of structures.The second type of code, called a building code, is established to cover construction in a given region, often a city or a state. The objective of a building code is also to protect the public by accounting for the influence of the local environmental conditions on construction. For example, local authorities may specify additional provisions to account for such regional conditions as earthquake, heavy snow, or tornados. National structural codes genrally are incorporated into local building codes.The American Concrete Institute ( ACI ) Building Code covering the design of reinforced concrete buildings. It contains provisions covering all aspects of reinforced concrete manufacture, design, and construction. It includes specifications on quality of materials, details on mixing and placing concrete, design assumptions for the analysis of continuous structures, and equations for proportioning members for design forces.All structures must be proportioned so they will not fail or deform excessively under any possible condition of service. Therefore it is important that an engineer use great care in anticipating all the probableloads to which a structure will be subjected during its lifetime.Although the design of most members is controlled typically by dead and live load acting simultaneously, consideration must also be given to the forces produced by wind, impact, shrinkage, temperature change, creep and support settlements, earthquake, and so forth.The load associated with the weight of the structure itself and its permanent components is called the dead load. The dead load of concrete members, which is substantial, should never be neglected in design computations. The exact magnitude of the dead load is not known accurately until members have been sized. Since some figure for the dead load must be used in computations to size the members, its magnitude must be estimated at first. After a structure has been analyzed, the members sized, and architectural details completed, the dead load can be computed more accurately. If the computed dead load is approximately equal to the initial estimate of its value ( or slightly less ), the design is complete, but if a significant difference exists between the computed and estimated values of dead weight, the computations should be revised using an improved value of dead load. An accurate estimate of dead load is particularly important when spans are long, say over 75 ft ( 22.9 m ), because dead load constitutes a major portion of the design load.Live loads associated with building use are specific items of equipment and occupants in a certain area of a building, building codes specify values of uniform live for which members are to be designed.After the structure has been sized for vertical load, it is checked for wind in combination with dead and live load as specified in the code. Wind loads do not usually control the size of members in building less than 16 to 18 stories, but for tall buildings wind loads become significant and cause large forces to develop in the structures. Under these conditions economy can be achieved only by selecting a structural system that is able to transfer horizontal loads into the ground efficiently.钢筋混凝土在每一个国家,混凝土及钢筋混凝土都被用来作为建筑材料。

水利电力英文翻译英文+中文An overflow spillway is a section of dam designed to permit water to pass over its crest. Overflow spillways are widely used on gravity, arch, and buttress dams. Some earth dams have a concrete gravity section designed to serve as a spillway. The design of the spillway for tow dams is not usually critical, and a variety of simple crest patterns are used. In the case of large dams it is important that the overflowing water be guided smoothly over the crest with a minimum of turbulence. If the overflowing water breaks contact with the spillway surface, a vacuum will form at the point of separation and cavitations may occur. Cavitations plus the vibration from the alternates making and breaking of contact between the water and the face of the dam may result in serious structural damage.Cavities filled with vapor, air, and other gases will form in a liquid whenever the absolute pressure of the liquid is close to the vapor pressure. This phenomenon, cavitations, is likely to occur where high velocities cause reduced pressure. Such conditions may arise if the walls of a passage are so sharply curved as to cause separation of flow from the boundary. The cavity, on moving downstream, may enter a region where the absolute is much higher. This causes the vapor in the cavity to condense and return to liquid with a resulting implosion, or collapse, extremely high pressure result. Some of the implosive activity will occur at the surfaces of the passage and in the crevices and pores of the boundary material. Under a continual bombardment of these implosions, the surface undergoes fatigue failure and small particles are broken away, giving the surface a spongy appearance. This damaging action of cavitations is called pitting. The ideal spillway would take the form of the underside of the napped of a sharp-crested weir when the flow rate corresponds to the maximum design capacity of the spillway. More exact profiles may be found in more extensive treatments of the subject. The reverse curve on the downstream face of the spillway should be smooth and gradual; A radius of about one-fourth of the spillway height has proved satisfactory. Structural design of an ogee spillway is essentially the same as the design of a concrete gravity section. The pressure exerted on the crest of the spillway by the flowing water and the drag forces caused by fluid friction are usually small in comparison with the other forces acting on the section. The change in momentum of the flow in the vicinity of the reverse curve may, however, create a force which must be considered. The requirements of the ogee shape usually necessitate a thicker section than the adjacent no overflow sections.A saving of concrete can be effected by providing a projecting corbel on the upstream face to control the flow in outlet conduits through the dam, a corbel will interfere with gate operation. The discharge of an overflow spillway is given by the weir equation23C Q Lh ω= Where Q=discharge, or sec /3mt coefficien C =ωL=coefficienth=head on the spillway (vertical distance from the crest of the spillway to the reservoir level),mThe coefficient ωC varies with the design and head. Experimental models are often used to determine spillway coefficient. End contractions on a spillway reduce the effective length below the actual length L. Square-cornered piers disturb the flow considerably and reduce the effective length by the width of the piers plus about 0.2h for each pier.Streamlining the piers or flaring the spillway entrance minimizes the flow disturbance. If the cross-sectional area of the reservoir just upstream from the spillway is less than five times the area of flow over the spillway, the approach velocity with increase the discharge a noticeable amount. The effect of approach velocity can be accounted for by the equation2320g 2V h Q ⎪⎪⎭⎫ ⎝⎛+=L C ωwhere 0V is the approach velocity.PROPERTIES OF CONCRETEThe characteristics of concrete should be considered in relation to the quality for any given construction purpose. The closest practicable approach to perfection in every property of the concrete would result in poor economy under many conditions, and the most desirable structure is that in which the concrete has been designed with the correct emphasis on each of the various properties of the concrete, and not solely with a view to obtaining, say, the maximum possible strength.Although the attainment of the maximum strength should not be the sole criterion in design, the measurement of the crushing strength of concrete cubes or cylinders provides a means of maintaining a uniform standard of quality, and, in fact, is the usual way of doing so. Since the other properties of any particular mix of concrete are related to the crushing strength in some manner, it is possible that as a single control test it is still the most convenient and informative. The testing of the hardened concrete in prefabricated units presents no difficulty, since complete units can be selected and broken if necessary in the process of testing. Samples can be taken from some parts of a finished structure by cutting cores, but at consider one cost and with a possible weakening of the structure. It is customs, therefore, to estimate the properties of the concrete in the structure on the oasis of the tests made on specimens mounded from the fresh concrete as it is placed. These specimens are compacted and cured in a standard manner given in BS 1881 in 1970 as in these two respects it is impossible to simulate exactly the conditions in the structure. Since the crushing structure is also affected by the size and shape of a specimen or part of a structure, it follows that the crushing strength of a cube is not necessary the same as that of the mass of exactly the same concrete.Crushing strengthConcrete can be made having a strength in compression of up to about 80N/2mm ,or evenmore depending mainly on the relative proportions of water and cement, that is, the water/cement ratio, and the degree of compaction. Crushing strengths of between 20 and 50 mm at 28 days are normally obtained on the site with reasonably good supervision, for N/2mixes roughly equivalent to 1:2:4 of cement: sand: coarse aggregate. In some types of precastmm at 28 days are concrete such as railway sleepers, strengths ranging from 40 to 65 N/2obtained with rich mixes having a low water/cement ratio.The crushing strength of concrete is influenced by a number of factors in addition to the water/cement ratio and the degree of compaction. The more important factors are Type of cement and its quality. Both the rate of strength gain and the ultimate strength may be affected.Type and surface texture of aggregate. There is considerable evidence to suggest that some aggregates produce concrete of greater compressive and tensile strengths than obtained with smooth river gravels.Efficiency of curing. A loss in strength of up to about 40 per cent may result from premature drying out. Curing is therefore of considerable, importance both in the field and in the making of tests. The method of curing concrete test cubes given in BS 1881 should, for this reason, be strictly adhered to.Temperature In general, the rate of hardening of concrete is increased by an increase temperature. At freezing temperatures the crushing strength may remain low for some time.Age Under normal conditions increase in strength with age, the rate of increase depending on the type of cement with age. For instance, high alumina cement produces concrete with a crushing strength at 21 hours equal to that of normal Portland cement concrete at 28 days. Hardening continues but at a much slower rate for a number of years.The above refers to the static ultimate load. When subjected to repeated loads concrete fails at a load smaller than the ultimate static load, a fatigue effect. A number of investigators have established that after several million cycles of loading, the fatigue strength in compression is 50-60 per cent of the ultimate static strength.Tensile and flexural strengthThe tensile strength of concrete varies from one-eighth of the compressive strength at early ages to about one- twentieth later, and is not usually taken into account in the design of reinforced concrete structures. The tensile strength is, however, of considerable importance in resisting cracking due to changes in moisture content or temperature. Tensile strength tests are used for concrete roads and airfields.The measurement of the strength of concrete in direct tension is difficult and is rarely attempted. Two more practical methods of assessing tensile strength are available. One gives a measure of the tensile strength in bending, usually termed the flexural strength. BS 1881:1970 gives details concerning the making and curing of flexure test specimens, and of the method test. The standard size of specimen is 150m m×150m m×750m m long for aggregate of maximum size 40m m. If the largest nominal size of the aggregate is 20m m, specimens 100m m×100m m×750m m long may be used.A load is applied through two rollers at the third points of the span until the specimen breaks. The extreme fiber stresses, that is, compressive at the top and tensile at the bottom, can then be computed by the usual beam formulae. The beam will obviously fail in tension since the tensile strength is much lower than the compressive strength. Formulae for the calculation of the modulus of rupture are given in BS 1881:1970.Test specimens is the form of beams are sometimes used to measure the modulus of rupture or flexural strength quickly on the site. The two halves of the specimen may then be crushed so that besides the flexural strength the compressive strength can be approximately determined on the same sample. The test is described in BS 1881:1970.Values of the modulus of rupture are utilized in some methods of design of unreinforced concrete roads and runways, in which reliance is placed on the flexural strength of the concrete to distribute concentrated loads over a wide area.More recently introduced is a test made by splitting cylinders by compression across the diameter, to give what is termed the splitting tensile strength; Details of the method are given in BS 1881:1970.Values of the modulus of rupture are utilized in some methods of design of unreinforced concrete roads and runways, in which reliance is place on the flexural strength of the concrete to distribute concentrated loads over a wide area.More recently introduced is a test made by splitting cylinders by compression across the diameter, to give what is termed the splitting tensile strength; Details of the method are given in BS 1881:1970. the testing machine is fitted with an extra bearing bar to distribute the load along the full length of the cylinder Plywood strips, 12mm wide and 3mm thick are inserted between the cylinder and the testing machine bearing surfaces top and bottom.From the maximum applied load at failure the tensile splitting strength is calculated as follows:ld p 2f t π= Where =t f splitting tensile strength, N/2mmP=maximum applied load in Nl=length of cylinder in mmd=diameter in mmAs in the case of the compressive strength, repeated loading reduces the ultimate strength so that the fatigue strength in flexure is 50-60 per cent of the static strength.Shear strengthIn practice, shearing of concrete is always accompany compression and tension caused by bending, and even in testing is impossible to staminate an element of bending.RESERVOIRSWhen a barrier is constructed across some river in the form of a dam, water gets stored up on the upstream side of the barrier, forming a pool of water, generally called a reservoir.Broadly speaking, any water collected in a pool or a lake may be termed as a reservoir. The water stored in reservoir may be used for various purposes. Depending upon the purposes served, the reservoirs may be classified as follows:Storage or Conservation Reservoirs.Flood Control Reservoirs.Distribution Reservoirs.Multipurpose reservoirs.(1) Storage or Conservation Reservoirs. A city water supply, irrigation water supply or a hydroelectric project drawing water directly from a river or a stream may fail to satisfy the consumers’demands during extremely low flows, while during high flows; it may become difficult to carry out their operation due to devastating floods. A storage or a conservation reservoir can retain such excess supplies during periods of peak flows and can release them gradually during low flows as and when the need arise.Incidentally, in addition to conserving water for later use, the storage of flood water may also reduce flood damage below the reservoir. Hence, a reservoir can be used for controlling floods either solely or in addition to other purposes. In the former case, it is known as ‘Flood Control Reservoir’or ‘Single Purpose Flood Control Reservoir’, and in the later case, it is called a ‘Multipurpose Reservoir’.(2) Flood Control Reservoirs A flood control reservoir or generally called flood-mitigation reservoir, stores a portion of the flood flows in such a way as to minimize the flood peaks at the areas to be protected downstream. To accomplish this, the entire inflow entering the reservoir is discharge till the outflow reaches the safe capacity of the channel downstream. The inflow in excess of this rate is stored in stored in the reservoir, which is then gradually released so as to recover the storage capacity for next flood.The flood peaks at the points just downstream of the reservoir are thus reduced by an amount AB. A flood control reservoir differs from a conservation reservoir only in its need for a large sluice-way capacity to permit rapid drawdown before or after a flood.Types of flood control reservoirs. There are tow basic types of flood-mitigation reservoir.Storage Reservoir or Detention basins.Retarding basins or retarding reservoirs.A reservoir with gates and valves installation at the spillway and at the sluice outlets is known as a storage-reservoir, while on the other hand, a reservoir with ungated outlet is known as a retarding basin.Functioning and advantages of a retarding basin:A retarding basin is usually provided with an uncontrolled spillway and an uncontrolled orifice type sluiceway. The automatic regulation of outflow depending upon the availability of water takes place from such a reservoir. The maximum discharging capacity of such a reservoir should be equal to the maximum safe carrying capacity of the channel downstream. As flood occurs, the reservoir gets filled and discharges through sluiceways. As the reservoir elevation increases, outflow discharge increases. The water level goes on rising until the flood has subsided and the inflow becomes equal to or less than the outflow. After this, water gets automatically withdrawn from the reservoir until the stored water is completely discharged. The advantages of a retarding basin over a gate controlled detention basin are:①Cost of gate installations is save.②There are no fates and hence, the possibility of human error and negligence in their operation is eliminated.Since such a reservoir is not always filled, much of land below the maximum reservoir level will be submerged only temporarily and occasionally and can be successfully used for agriculture, although no permanent habitation can be allowed on this land.Functioning and advantages of a storage reservoir:A storage reservoir with gated spillway and gated sluiceway, provides more flexibility of operation, and thus gives us better control and increased usefulness of the reservoir. Storage reservoirs are, therefore, preferred on large rivers which require batter controlled and regulated properly so as not to cause their coincidence. This is the biggest advantage of such a reservoir and outweighs its disadvantages of being costly and involving risk of human error in installation and operation of gates.(3) Distribution Reservoirs A distribution reservoir is a small storage reservoir constructed within a city water supply system. Such a reservoir can be filled by pumping water at a certain rate and can be used to supply water even at rates higher than the inflow rate during periods of maximum demands (called critical periods of demand). Such reservoirs are, therefore, helpful in permitting the pumps or water treatment plants to work at a uniform rate, and they store water during the hours of no demand or less demand and supply water from their ‘storage’during the critical periods of maximum demand.(4) Multipurpose Reservoirs A reservoir planned and constructed to serve not only one purpose but various purposes together is called a multipurpose reservoir. Reservoir, designed for one purpose, incidentally serving other purpose, shall not be called a multipurpose reservoir, but will be called so, only if designed to serve those purposes also in addition to its main purpose. Hence, a reservoir designed to protect the downstream areas from floods and also to conserve water for water supply, irrigation, industrial needs, hydroelectric purposes, etc. shall be called a multipurpose reservoir.THE ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEMA great amount of effort is necessary to maintain an electric power supply within the requirement of the various types of customers served. Large investments are necessary, and continuing advancements in methods must be made as loads steadily increase from year to year. Some of the requirements for electric power supply are recognized by most consumers, such as proper voltage, availability of power on demand, reliability, and reasonable cost. Other characteristics, such as frequency, wave shape, and phase balance, are seldom recognized by the customer but are given constant attention by the utility power engineers.The voltage of the power supply at the customer’s service entrance must be held substantially constant. Variations in supply voltage are, from the customer’s view, detrimental in various respects. For example, below-normal voltage substantially reduces the light output from incandescent lamps. Above-normal voltage increase the light output but substantially reduces the life of the lamp. Motor operate at below-normal voltage draw abnormally high current and may overheat, even when carrying no more than the rated horsepower load. Over voltage on a motor may cause excessive heat loss in the iron of the motor, wasting energy and perhaps damaging the machine. Service voltages are usually specified by a nominal value and the voltage thanmaintained close to this value, deviating perhaps less than 5 percent above or below the nominal value. For example, in a 120-volt residential supply circuit, the voltage might normally vary between the limits of 115 and 125 volts as customer load and system conditions change throughout the day.Power must be available to the consumer in any amount that be may require from minute to minute. For example, motors may be turned on or off, without advance warning to the electric power company. As electrical energy cannot be stored (except to a limited extent in storage batteries), the changing loads impose severe demands on the control equipment of any electrical power system. The operating staff must continually study load patterns to predict in advance those major load changes that follow known schedules, such as the starting and shutting down of factories at prescribed hours each day.The demands for reliability of service increase daily as our industrial and social environment becomes more complex. Modern industry is almost locally dependent on electric power for its operation. Homes and office buildings are lighted, heated, and ventilated by electric power. In some instances loss of electric power may even pose a threat a life itself. Electric power, like everything else that is man-made can never be absolutely reliable. Occasional interruptions to service in limited areas will continue. Interruptions to large areas remain a possibility, although such occurrences may be very infrequent. Further interconnection of electric supply systems over wide areas, continuing development of reliable automated control systems and apparatus; provision of additional reserve facilities; and further effort in developing personnel to engineer, design, construct, maintain, and operate these facilities will continue to improve the reliability of the electric power supply.The cost of electric power is a prince consideration in the design and operation of electric power is a prime consideration in the design and operation of electric power system. Although the cost of almost all commodities has risen steadily over the past many years, the cost per kilowatt-hour of electrical energy has actually declined. This decrease in cost has been possible because of improved efficiencies of the generating stations and distribution systems. Although franchises often grant the electric power company exclusive rights for the supply of electric power to an area. There is keen competition between electric power and other forms of energy, particularly for heating and for certain heavy load industrial processes.The power supply requirements just discussed are all well known to most electric power users. There are, however, other specifications to the electric power supply which are so effectively handled by the power companies that consumers are seldom aware that such requirements are of importance.The frequency of electric power supply in the United States is almost entirely 60 hertz (formerly cycles per second). The frequency of a system is dependent entirely upon the speed at which the supply generator is rotated by its prime mover. Hence frequency control is basically a matter of speed control of the machines in the generating stations. Modern speed-control systems are very effective and hold frequency almost constant. Deviations are seldom greater than 0.02 hertz.In an ac system the voltage continually varies with time, at one instant being positive and a short time later being negative, going through 60 complete cycles of change in each second. Ideally a plot of the time change should be a sine wave.In poorly designed generating equipment, harmonics may be present and the wave shape maybe somewhat. The presence of harmonics produces unnecessary losses in the customer’s equipment and sometime produces hum in nearby telephone lines. The voltage wave shape is basically determined by the construction of the generation equipment. The power companies put specification limitations on the harmonic content of generator voltages and so require equipment manufactures to design and build their machines to minimize from this effect.ENVIRONMENT POLLUTIONThe existence of pollution in the environment, as a national and a world problem, was not generally recognized until the 1960s.Today many people regard pollution as a problem that will not go away, but one that could get worse in the future. It is increasingly being appreciated that the general effects of pollution produce a deterioration of the quality of the environment. This usually means that pollution is responsible for dirty streams, rivers and sea shorts, atmospheric contamination, the dissociation of the countryside, urban dereliction, affecting the environment in which people reside, work, and spend their leisure time.The present increasing emphasis upon pollution may create the impression that there has been a relatively sudden deterioration of the environment, that was not apparent twenty or thirty years ago. This is not the case. Pollution must have started at the time when man began to use the natural resources of the environment for his own benefit. At he began to develop a settled life in small communities, the activities of clearing trees, building shelter, cultivating crops, and preparing and cooking food must have altered the natural environment. Later, as the human population increased and became concentrated into large communities which developed craft skills. There were increasing quantities of human and animal waste and rubbish to be disposed of in the early days of man’s existence the amount of waste was small. It was disposed of locally and had virtually no effect upon the environment. Later, when large human settlements and towns were established, waste disposal began to cause obvious pollution of streets and water courses. In the thirteenth century the prevalence of cholera, typhus, typhoid and bubonic plague was associated with the lack of proper waste disposal methods. By themed-nineteenth century the population of the UK had increased to 22 million, and many canals and rivers were grossly polluted with sewage and industrial waste. Some sewerage systems existed in towns, but the collected sewage was discharged into the nearest river without ant treatment. Salmon had completely disappeared from the River Thames and outbreaks of cholera still occurred in London. A Royal Commission on the Prevention of River Pollution was established in 1857, and eventually the first preventive river pollution legislation was passed in 1876 and 1890. However, there was little significant improvement in pollution until after the First World War, and the condition of rivers had deteriorated again by the end of the Second World War. Even today, a number of British and continental coastal towns discharge almost untreated sewage into near-shore waters.The increasing pollution of land water was accompanied by air pollution. This must have begun as soon as man started to use wood fires to provide ‘space hosting’and a means of cooking food. Later surface, soft coal was discovered and used as a fuel, and records shown that coal smokes was a nuisance in London in the thirteenth century. In 1273,Edward I made the first ever anti-pollution law to prevent the use of coal for domestic heating, so smoke pollution has been recognized for at least 700 years. However, smoke pollution in London continued and isrecorded in both the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In the late eighteenth and throughout the nineteenth centuries there was a marked increase in air pollution, because of the greater use of coal by developing industry. From 1750, the chemical industry began to develop, and this caused the discharge of acid fumes into the smoky air of some manufacturing towns. A Royal Commission was set up in 1862 to consider air pollution and this resulted in the first Alkali Act in 1863, which set limits to the concentration of acid in discharged waste gases. However, the increasing domestic and industrial combustion of coal, and the production of piped coal gas from 1815, caused air pollution to steadily get worse. Large cities were particularly affected, and the well known 5 day smog incident in London in 1952 directly contributed to the deaths of 4000 people. As a result, the Beaver Committee on Air Pollution was established in 1953, and the Clean Air Act was passed in 1956. This was the first effective statute to provide the means of controlling atmospheric pollution.Noise pollution probably started when man first developed machines. The increase in industrial plants in the nineteenth century produce indoor noise pollution of the working environment for many factory and mill workers over a 6 day week. Outdoors, the development of private and public transport bright environmental noise, as the railway services came into use during the 1830s, motor transport from 1900, and regular aero plane services from 1922. during the first half of the twentieth century environmental noise considerably increased, but it was not recognized as pollution. Industrial and outdoor noise was designated as ‘nuisance’when the Noise Abatement Act was passed in 1960. Whereas the earlier increase in noise occurred in work places and in connection with transport, during the past thirty years noise has spread into the home and places of leisure and entertainment. Certainly the most rapid increase in environmental pollution has taken place during the last 150 years, and it has been attributed to a number of interrelating factors.THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FLUIDSA fluid is a substance which may flow, that is, its constituent particles may continuously change their positions relative to one another. Moreover, it offers no lasting resistance to the displacement, however great, of one layer over another. This means that, if the fluid is at rest, no shear force (that is a force tangential to the surface on which it acts) can exist in it. A solid, on the other hand, can resist a shear force while at rest, the shear force may cause some displacement of one layer over another, but the material does not continue to move indefinitely. In a fluid, however, shear forces are possible only while relative movement between layers is actually taking place. A fluid is further distinguished from a solid in that a given amount of it owes its shape at any particular time to that of a vessel containing it, or to forces which in some way restrain its movement.The distinction between solids and fluids is usually clear, but there are some substances not easily classified. Some fluids, for on the ground, but, although its flow would take place very slowly, yet over a period of time—perhaps several days—it would spread over the ground by the action of gravity, that is ,its constituent particle would change their relative positions. In the other hand, certain solids may be made to ‘flow’ when a sufficiently large force is applied, there are known as plastic solids.Even so, the essential difference between solids and fluids remains. Any fluid, no matter how。

Hydromechanical analysis of flow behavior in concrete gravity damfoundationsAbstract: A key requirement in the evaluation of sliding stability of new and existing concrete gravity dams is the prediction of the distribution of pore pressure and shear strength in foundation joints and discontinuities. This paper presents a methodology for evaluating the hydromechanical behavior of concrete gravity dams founded on jointed rock. The methodology consisted of creating a database of observed dam behavior throughout typical cycles of reservoir filling and simulating this behavior with a distinct element method (DEM) numerical model. Once the model is validated, variations of key parameters including litho logy, in situ stress, joint geometry, and joint characteristics can be incorporated in the analysis. A site-specific simulation of a typical reservoir cycle was carried out for Albigna Dam, Switzer land, founded on granitic rock, to assess the nature of the flow regime in the rock foundations and to evaluate the potential for sliding surfaces other than the dam–rock interface to develop. The factor of safety against sliding of various rock wedges of differing geometry present within the dam foundations was also evaluated using the DEM model and conventional analytical procedures. Estimates of crack propagation patterns and corresponding uplift pressures and factors of safety against sliding along the dam–rock interface obtained with the DEM were also compared with those from simplified procedures currently used in engineering practice. It was found that in a jointed rock, foundation uplift estimates after crack development obtained from present design guidelines can be too conservative and result in factors of safety that are too low and do not correspond to the observed behavior.Key words: Hydromechanical, jointed rock, flow, dam design.Introduction: Evaluating the safety of concrete gravity dams against sliding requires an understanding that rock foundations and the structure above them are an interactive system whose behavior is controlled by the mechanical and hydraulic properties of concrete materials and rock foundations. About a century ago, the failure of Boozy Dam prompted dam engineers to start considering the effect of uplift pressures generated by seepage within the dam–foundation system and to explore ways to minimize its effect.. Today, with modern computational resources and much more precedent, it is still most challenging to determine the pore-pressure distribution along foundation discontinuities to assess pertinent stresses and evaluate factors of safety. It is our opinion that observing and monitoring the behavior of large dams on well mapped and adequately instrumented foundations can bring important insights for a better understanding of factors controlling joint opening, crack propagation, and pore-pressure development in foundations of concrete gravity dams.Fig.1.Hydromechanical behavior of natural joints :(a) mechanical;(b)hydraulic.This paper presents behavior representative of cycles of reservoir operation in the last 20 years collected from monitored data of Albigna Dam, Switzerland, and also describes the results of a series of numerical analyses carried out to assess the hydromechanical behavior of its foundations. Comparisons are made between results of numerical modeling and the actual behavior monitored in the field. Based on these comparisons, a series of conclusions are drawn regarding basic pore-pressure buildup mechanisms in jointed rock masses with implications that may be considered in other engineering projects, where the hydromechanical behavior of jointed rock should be considered. Such projects include pressure tunnels, hazardous waste disposal, and other situations dependent on geologic containment controlled by flow behavior along rock discontinuities.Hydromechanical behavior of natural jointsA brief summary of the state-of-the-art of mechanical and hydraulic behavior of individual rock joints is presented here. A more detailed description of rock joint Hydromechanical behavior can be found in Alvarez(1997)and Alvarez et al.(1995)and in investigations in laboratory and numerical model simulations carried out by Raven and Gale (1985), Gentier (1987),Esaki et al.(1992),and others.The mechanical behavior of the joint can be represented by a nonlinear hyperbolicrelationship between the applied effective normal stress,'nσ,and joint closure,nV∆During loading, significant joint closure takes place at low effective normal stresses. The magnitude of the closure per unit of stress decreases rapidly, however, as the stress level increases. The hyperbola is defined by the initial tangent stiffness,niK, and the asymptote maximum joint closure, mcV. This relationship is also nonlinear and hysteretic for the unloading condition until effective normal stresses become zero (Fig.1a).The values of ni K and mc V are estimated by regression analysis on experimental data. For natural and induced fractures in granite, these parameters are interrelated and range between the following limits Alvarez et al. (1995):Where ni K is in M pa/μm and mc V is in μmRough joints exhibit the largest joint maximum closure and the lowest initial joint stiffness, whereas smooth joints have the lowestmc V and the largest ni K The hydraulic behavior of the rock joint is characterized by the linear relationship between hydraulic aperture,h a , which controls the magnitude of flow, and mechanical joint closure, n V ∆ , which depends on stress levels. Hydraulic apertures are plotted versus theircorresponding joint closure (Fig.1b)to obtain the line intercept, ho a ,initial hydraulicaperture, and the coupled slope coefficient, f ,which characterizes the hydromechanical behavior of the joint ,i. e., the relationship between changes in hydraulic aperture due to changes in mechanical aperture, given byWhere hr a is the residual hydraulic aperture.For a given rock joint, there is a relationship between roughness and the coupled coefficient, because f depends on the distribution and tortuosity of flow channels along the joint surface. For ideal parallel plates, with a single flow channel along the entire joint surface, f=1.0.For concentrated flow channels meandering across the joint surface, f<1.0. Hence, the classic cubic law expresses flow rate through a rock joint:Where Q is the flow rate; w γis the unit weight of the water; h ∆is the head dropalong the rock joint; μ is the dynamic viscosity of the water(1.005×310-Pa ·s ); h a Is thejoint hydraulic aperture; and G is the shape factor, which depends on the geometry of flow. For straight flow, G=W/L (where W and L are the width and length, respectively, of thejoint); and for divergent radial flow, G=2π/ln (re/i r ), where i r and re are the borehole andexternal cylindrical surface radiuses, respectively.Jointed rock mass permeability change with depthAlternatively, the rock mass equivalent permeability, km, can be expressed in the same form as the modified cubic law, or in terms of hydraulic aperture, to account for spacing of the joints, S:Changes in jointed rock mass permeability due to overburden and confining stresses were calculated using eqs. [1]– [3].The results of a theoretical relationship of rock mass permeability, k, for depths up to 1000 m, using eq. [5] are presented in Fig.2.The reduction of hydraulic apertures with increasing overburden stresses results in a rock mass permeability that decreases with an increase in depth from 310- cm/s near the surface to 810- cm/s at depths of 600– 1000 m. The rock mass permeability estimates were obtained assuming f=1.0,mc V = ho a and ni k =1033.1-mc v , which are representative of the values obtained in laboratory tests carried out in granitic formations(Alvarez et al.1995)similar to those of the Brazilian test location described in this section. Overburden stresses were estimated using a unit weight of 26.0 kN/m3.In this case it was assumed that horizontal and vertical stresses are about the same (coefficient of earth pressure at rest Ko=1.0), which are also considered to be representative of the igneous formations at the Brazil test location, but other values of in situ stresses could be estimated, e.g., for Ko<1.0, vertical joints would have larger permeabilities.Field permeability measurements obtained in Packer tests at a deep open-pit mining project in granitic rock in Brazil are also plotted in Fig.2 for comparison with the theoretical relationship. Values of joint spacing observed from borehole cores are in the range of a few meters, and thus a constant spacing of 5m was assumed in the computations. Values of aho in the range of 300–1000μm were used to determine the theoretical relationships of km=f (z), where z is the depth, and compare with field measurements.Measured permeability values in the two boreholes are relatively high at depths between 100 and 200m, probably denoting the presence of a sheared zone or a zone of more jointed rock. The measured rock permeabilities decrease steadily with an increase in depth, however, and their values correspond well with the theoretical trend of rock mass permeability estimated with the model. Typical hydraulic apertures of 400–500μm and joint stiffness following a hyperbolic relationship with NI K =10V mc and mc V = ho a seem to agree well with observed field behavior for these crystalline rock masses.Fig.2.Theoretical jointed rock mass permeability relationship with depth.Although real Hydromechanical behavior of jointed rock masses is site specific and depends on geologic factors, which need to be taken into account, the proposed approach provides a framework to estimate rock mass permeability during design stages where information is not yet available.。
