Impact of floodplain and Stage 0 stream restoration on flood attenuation and floodplain exchange during small frequent storms

River flooding impacts human life and infrastructure, yet provides habitat and ecosystem services. Traditional flood control (e.g., levees, dams) reduces habitat and ecosystem services, and exacerbates flooding elsewhere. Floodplain restoration (i.e., bankfull floodplain reconnection and Stage 0) can also provide flood management, but has not been sufficiently evaluated for small frequent storms. We used 1D unsteady Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System to simulate small storms in a 5 km-long, second-order generic stream from the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and varied % channel restored (starting at the upstream end), restoration location, restoration bank height (distinguishes bankfull from Stage 0 restoration), and floodplain width/Manning's n. Stream restoration decreased (attenuated) peak flow up to 37% and increased floodplain exchange by up to 46%. Floodplain width and % channel restored had the largest impact on flood attenuation. The incremental effects of new restoration projects on flood attenuation were greatest when little prior restoration had occurred. By contrast, incremental effects on floodplain exchange were greatest in the presence of substantial prior restoration, setting up a tradeoff. A similar tradeoff was revealed between attenuation and exchange for project location, but not bank height or floodplain width. In particular, attenuation and exchange were always greater for Stage 0 than for bankfull floodplain restoration. Stage 0 thus may counteract human impacts such as urbanization.

Numerical simulation of small-scale pool fires of LNG

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been largely indicated as a promising alternative solution for the transportation and storage of natural gas. In the case of accidental release on the ground, a pool fire scenario may occur. Despite the relevance of this accident, due to its likelihood and potential to trigger domino effects, accurate analyses addressing the characterization of pool fires of LNG are still missing.In this work, the fire dynamic simulator (FDS) has been adopted for the evaluation of the effects of the released amount of fuel and its composition (methane, ethane, and propane), on the thermal and chemical properties of small-scale LNG pool fire. More specifically, the heat release rate, the burning rate, the flame height, and thermal radiation, at different initial conditions, have been evaluated for pool having diameter smaller than 10 m. Safety distances have been calculated for all the investigated conditions, as well.Results have also been compared with data and correlations retrieved from the current literature. The equation of Thomas seems to work properly for the definition of the height over diameter ratio of the LNG pool fire for all the mixture and the investigated diameters.The addition of ethane and propane significantly affects the obtained results, especially in terms of radiative thermal radiation peaks, thus indicating the inadequacy of the commonly adopted assumption of pure methane as single, surrogate species for the LNG mixture.

灌浆套筒连接装配式框架-剪力墙爆炸响应与破坏

为了探究采用灌浆套筒连接的装配式框架-剪力墙结构的爆炸响应与破坏模式,运用LS-DYNA软件建立一榀两层的现浇框架-剪力墙和装配式框架-剪力墙的有限元模型,分别模拟分析了不同位置处发生爆炸时两种框架-剪力墙结构的动态响应及破坏模式,并对灌浆套筒连接的装配式框架-剪力墙进行了抗爆性能评估。研究结果表明:灌浆套筒连接的装配式框架-剪力墙结构整体性差,主要原因是预制构件和坐浆层、现浇带之间存在新旧混凝土的薄弱粘结面,粘结面的界面接触在爆炸荷载下首先发生断开,然后爆炸冲击力在结构局部区域发生聚集,使得结构的变形较为集中,容易造成结构局部发生严重的脆性破坏;现浇框架-剪力墙结构具有较好的整体性,爆炸冲击力在结构内能够有效地传递,而且构件之间具有良好的协同作用,结构变形较为均匀,现浇框架-剪力墙的破坏为延性破坏;炸药在结构中不同位置发生爆炸时,爆炸冲击波直接作用的构件损坏严重,其它构件损坏较轻。
