Based on the field ob- servation data of airflow and aeolian sand transport, continuous monitoring data of erosional and depositional processes between 14 April 2009 and 9 April 2011 and data of surface sand grains from the classical section along the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert Highway, this paper reported the blown sand motion within the sand-control system of the highway. The main results are as follows： 1） The existing sand-control system is highly effective in preventing and controlling desertification. Wind velocities within the sand-control system were ap- proximately 33%-100% of those for the same height above the mobile sand surface. Aeolian sand fluxes were approximately 0-31.21% of those of the mobile sand surface. Sand grains inside the system, with a mean diameter of 2.89 q）, were finer than those （2.15 q）） outside the system. In addition, wind velocities basically followed a loga- rithmic law, but the airflow along the classical section was mainly determined by topography and vegetation. 2） There were obvious erosional and depositional phenomena above the surface within the sand-control system, and these phenomena have very consistent patterns for all observation points in the two observed years. The total thicknesses of erosion and deposition ranged from 0.30 to 14.60 cm, with a mean value of 3.67 cm. In contrast, the deposition thicknesses were 1.90-22.10 cm, with a mean value of 7.59 cm, and the erosion thicknesses were 3.51-15.10 cm, with a mean value of 8.75 cm. The results will aid our understanding of blown sand within the sand-control system and provide a strong foundation for optimizing the sand-control system.展开更多

The sand-controlling system along the Desert Highway enables the Highway itself to operate properly and creates enormous socio-economic benefits. However, due to delivery time pressure, the sand-controlling system was built in a haste. Lack of studies on sand-controlling system brought deficiencies on design and construction of the sand-controlling system. And with the lapse of time, troubles such as sand deposition on the roadbeds and erosion on roadsides came to surface and caused more serious problems for the traffic routes[1.2]. This paper discusses two forms of the sand-controlling system-the upright fence and the send-covered sand barrier, then analyzes the general benefits of the sandcontrolling system along the Desert Highway.展开更多
