Study on the deformation and cracking characteristics of bridge-crossing reservoir ice sheet in cold regions
The cracking of reservoir ice sheets in cold regions is a common natural phenomenon. As the ice cracks develop and the ice grows, the ice sheet will deform greatly, which seriously threatens the safety of the bridge structure. In this paper, the field observation of ice deformation was carried out with the ice sheet of reservoirs in cold regions as the research object, and the deformation law of the ice sheet was studied. Meanwhile, a calculation method for simulating ice cracks was proposed, and the distribution characteristics and cracking process of ice cracks were investigated in combination with the field crack observation results. The main findings of the study are as follows: When the temperature increased, the ice sheet moved in a pattern of expanding from the middle of the reservoir towards the shores. Using the steel trestle bridge as a dividing line, the ice sheet moved to upstream and downstream of the reservoir from the steel trestle bridge location. As temperatures decreased, the ice sheet moved from the shores towards the middle of the reservoir. The ice also moved from the upstream and downstream of the reservoir towards the steel trestle bridge. The study of the generation and extension direction of ice sheet cracks found that the bumps of the shores and the corners of the piers were prone to form cracks. The cracks would extend towards the higher stresses, and the cracks would tend to be connected when the piers and the bumps of the shores were closer. There were four main crack patterns in the reservoir, among which the crack pattern starting from the shore bump and running through the whole ice sheet was prone to produce serious thrust on the piers. The results of the study show that bridges crossing reservoirs are inevitably affected by ice sheet cracking in winter. Therefore, the location selection of new bridges needs to consider the influence of the position of ice cracking and the extension range of cracks to eliminate the safety hazards arising from ice cracking.
期刊介绍:
Cold Regions Science and Technology is an international journal dealing with the science and technical problems of cold environments in both the polar regions and more temperate locations. It includes fundamental aspects of cryospheric sciences which have applications for cold regions problems as well as engineering topics which relate to the cryosphere.
Emphasis is given to applied science with broad coverage of the physical and mechanical aspects of ice (including glaciers and sea ice), snow and snow avalanches, ice-water systems, ice-bonded soils and permafrost.
Relevant aspects of Earth science, materials science, offshore and river ice engineering are also of primary interest. These include icing of ships and structures as well as trafficability in cold environments. Technological advances for cold regions in research, development, and engineering practice are relevant to the journal. Theoretical papers must include a detailed discussion of the potential application of the theory to address cold regions problems. The journal serves a wide range of specialists, providing a medium for interdisciplinary communication and a convenient source of reference.
