Previous studies have mainly focused on the flow field around roadbeds, overlooking detailed examinations of sand particle erosion and deposition patterns near bridges and roadbeds. This study employs numerical simulations to analyze the influence of varying heights and wind speeds on sand deposition and erosion characteristics at different locations: the bridge-road transition section(side piers), middle piers, and roadbeds. The results show that the side piers, experience greater accumulation than the middle piers. Similarly, the leeward side of the roadbed witnesses more deposition compared to the windward side. Another finding reveals a reduced sand deposition length as the vertical profile, in alignment with the wind direction, moves further from the bridge abutments at the same clearance height. As wind speeds rise, there’s a decline in sand deposition and a marked increase in erosion around the side piers, middle piers and roadbeds. In conclusion, a bridge clearance that’s too low can cause intense sand damage near the side piers, while an extremely high roadbed may lead to extensive surface sand deposition. Hence, railway bridges in areas prone to sandy winds should strike a balance in clearance height. This research provides valuable guidelines for determining the most suitable bridge and roadbed heights in regions affected by wind and sand.展开更多

The differential settlement will be created in bridge-embankment transition section under such dynamic action, and an adverse effect on the train operation safety can be caused. Meanwhile, differential settlement will produce additional dynamic effect when high-speed trains go through the transition between bridge-embankment. Such dynamic action will aggravate the differential settlement and subgrade damage. This paper applies the methods of field test and finite-element to systematically study the dynamic response characteristics of subgrade in bridge-embankment transition section of heavy haul railway under dynamic load for the first time. This research is focused on the analysis of influence of the different axle load, train speed, filled soil modulus, etc.. At last, the dynamic response rules are systematically summarized.展开更多

In the process of construction, if its quality is not too high, it will inevitably reduce the safety of vehicles after the completion of the bridge. Therefore, it is necessary to apply effective construction technology in order to ensure the normal use of the bridge. However, with the continuous progress of China's entire transportation industry, many problems in the process of bridge construction have gradually emerged, such as cracks at the bridge and road junctions and road damage, which in turn hinder the normal use of bridges. In this paper, the author analyzes the technical problems and difficulties in the construction process in detail, and gives constructive solutions, which can be used as a reference for future bridge construction projects.展开更多

Traffic accidents caused by these conditions have caused serious doubts on the quality of the road surface among the masses. As an important part of the safety guarantee, the transition section of road and bridge, if the flatness is not up to the standard in the actual construction, will bury a huge hidden danger for the subsequent safety. Therefore, in order to ensure people's travel safety effectively, it is of great significance for the development of China's economy to take certain methods to improve the current existing construction technology. This paper will also study the construction technology of subgrade and pavement in the transition section of road and bridge construction.展开更多

The ideal condition of asphalt pavement is to form a smooth curve (vertical section) which is completely consistent with the design vertical section curve. Of course, due to various objective conditions, this ideal situation cannot be achieved. In the actual construction, what is more considered and implemented is "approximately parallel or basically consistent", that is, most road sections are parallel to the design profile curve, and a small number of transition sections are used to adjust them. The purpose of "parallel" is for flatness and ride comfort, and the purpose of "transition section" is to properly control the thickness. If the transition section can be "smoothly transitioned", flatness and thickness can be considered.展开更多

Experimental investigations by means of optical(interferometry and schlieren method) and pneumatic measurements provide more information about the behaviour and nature of basic phenomena occurring in the profile cascade flow field. The numerical simulation was carried out by means of the EARSM turbulence model according to Hellsten [5] completed by the bypass transition model with the algebraic equation for the intermittency coefficient proposed by Straka and P?íhoda [6] and implemented into the in-house numerical code. The investigation was focused particularly on the effect of shock waves on the shear layer development including the laminar/turbulent transition. Interactions of shock waves with shear layers on both sides of the blade result usually in the transition in attached and/ or separated flow and so to the considerable impact to the flow structure and energy losses in the blade cascade.展开更多
