Abstract:
Carbonaceous mudstone belongs to a special type of soft rock,which is widely distributed and has poor engineering properties,and has a significant impact on canal projects.Therefore,it is urgent to study the engineering characteristics and prevention mechanisms of carbonaceous mudstone.The Madao Hub of the Pinglu Canal is located on a carbonaceous mudstone foundation.During the investigation phase,methods such as drilling sampling,mineral analysis,in-situ shear tests,and laboratory compression tests are employed.During the construction phase,techniques including on-site observation,geological mapping,geological sketching,and safety monitoring are utilized to systematically reveal the engineering characteristics and prevention mechanisms of carbonaceous mudstone.The main research conclusion:the composition of carbonaceous mudstone is primarily clay minerals,with a carbonaceous content of 6% to 40%.The strength of carbonaceous mudstone is influenced by its burial depth,structural features and groundwater environment,leading to significant variability.Reliable data must be obtained through investigation methods such as sampling,in-situ testing,and laboratory experiments.Carbonaceous mudstone is prone to weathering and softening after excavation exposure,with softening resulting from a combination of internal and external factors.Internal factors include its clay mineral composition and hydrogeological properties,while external factors involve excavation unloading and wet-dry cycling.For carbonaceous mudstone foundations,a protective layer must be reserved,and strict foundation cleaning and acceptance procedures should be followed.If necessary,bearing capacity testing and foundation treatment should be conducted.For carbonaceous mudstone slopes,timely sealing should be performed after excavation and slope cutting,and appropriate reinforcement and drainage measures should be implemented based on their distribution and impact extent.

Abstract:
The utilization of underwater mold bag concrete is prevalent in the construction of the Pinglu Canal project.The leakage of cement slurry will have serious impacts on the environment and ecology.Anti-fouling curtains are commonly used in engineering to block the diffusion of pollutants.However,there is relatively little research on the diffusion dynamics and effectiveness of such barriers.Therefore,this study employs Fluent software to establish a three-dimensional computation model to simulate the barrier effect of floating anti-fouling curtains on cement slurry pollutants,analyze the influence of different anti-fouling curtain arrangements and parameters on the anti-fouling effect,and determine the range of influence.The research results indicate that optimal pollutant control effect is achieved when the underwater inclination angle is 30°,the angle with the longitudinal section of the river is 20°,the distance between the anti fouling curtain and the pollution source is 2 m,and the underwater depth of the anti-fouling curtain is 4 m.The research can provide an optimized scheme for the specific layout of anti-fouling curtains in underwater mold bag construction,so as to achieve the best control of cement slurry pollution diffusion.

Abstract:
In order to investigate the coupling effect of chloride ions and cracks on the corrosion of reinforcement in coral concrete,we employ electrochemical experiments to compare with the corrosion state changing law of reinforcement in coral concrete component with different exposure time in chloride environment and width of prefabricated cracks,and analyze the influence mechanism of chloride ions and cracks on the corrosion of reinforcement in coral concrete by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) tests.The results show that the risk of reinforcement corrosion increases with prolonged exposure time and wider prefabricated cracks.A significant impact on steel reinforcement corrosion is observed only when the width of pre-existing cracks surpass a certain threshold value.Furthermore,an increase in the width of prefabricated cracks is led to a shift in corrosion products from predominantly magnetite to primarily akaganeite and hematite,and accompanied by a transformation in the microscopic morphology towards a rough and irregular appearance.

Abstract:
Through long-term exposure test and engineering investigation,the long-term protective effect of surface coating on marine concrete structure is studied,and the influence of coating on service life of concrete structure is quantitatively evaluated.The research shows that the coating can effectively isolate chloride ion intrusion,significantly improve the service life of concrete structures,and the coating system using epoxy asphalt and chlorinated rubber surface layer has better anti-aging performance.However,due to the influence of the actual service structure by working load and complex painting construction environment,the chloride ion concentration in the engineering structure is significantly higher than that exposure test.In the actual service environment,the surface chloride ion concentration increases gradually with the extension of service time,and the surface chloride ion concentration conforms to the linear function model with service time(Cs=kt）.Considering the effect of coating on the time-varying characteristics of chloride ion concentration on concrete surface,a quantitative evaluation method for durability life of coated concrete structures is established.

Abstract:
Determining the microstructure and mechanical properties of reinforcement corrosion products is crucial for understanding the concrete structure durability failure and developing the concrete corrosion-induced cracking model.The reinforcement corrosion products before and after concrete cracking are sampled and analyzed on the basis of a decommissioned bridge in Zhanjiang and an aging wharf in Wenzhou,both exposed to the real marine environment.The chemical composition,microstructure,and volume expansion coefficient of corrosion products are measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD),thermogravimetric analysis (TG),and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The nanoindentation experiments are carried on to determine the elastic modulus and hardness of the corrosion products.The results indicate that the main components of the reinforcement corrosion products before and after concrete cracking are oxides of iron and oxyhydroxides.The volume expansion coefficients of the corrosion products in different zones,including the splash zone after cracking,the splash zone before cracking,the tidal zone before cracking,and the submerged zone before cracking,gradually decrease,with values of 2.552 2,2.341 4,2.340 5,and 1.990 3,respectively.Furthermore,the average elastic modulus of the reinforcement corrosion products before concrete cracking ranges from 137.06 to 154.70 GPa,while the average hardness ranges from 1.001 to 1.149 GPa.After concrete cracking,the average elastic modulus of corrosion product is 125.89 GPa,and the average hardness of corrosion product is 0.892 4 GPa.

Abstract:
Based on four natural sandy beaches in Lianyungang muddy coast,this study analyzes the morphological characteristics of beach plane and profile,tidal current conditions,wave conditions and sediment movement characteristics to study the reasons for the existence of sandy beaches in muddy coast environment.The results show that the natural beaches are concave arc-shaped landforms with headlands at both ends,and the main direction of the incoming waves is consistent with the direction of the bay mouth,which is not conducive to significant coastal sediment transport and avoids sediment loss.The natural beach profile has obvious turning characteristics,and the larger front water depth is conducive to reducing loss during the propagation of offshore waves,which can maintain larger wave dynamic conditions in front of the beach.The large waves in the direction of the natural beach should reach a certain concentration and frequency,and the large waves of the beach with H1/10 wave height greater than 0.40 m accounting for more than 36.6% is conducive to better beach surface characteristics.Waves are the main driving force of the mud resuspension.The sand carrying capacity of the tidal current is greater than the background sand concentration,which is conducive to the formation of the beach,and the larger the sand carrying capacity,the wider the beach width.

Abstract:
Given that liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals require large quantities of seawater as a cold source during operation,the construction of water intake and drainage projects is particularly important.Water intake and drainage activities inevitably have an impact on the flow field of the adjacent water areas of the project.Therefore,it is necessary to conduct a systematic analysis of the tidal current field near the project.This study takes the Yingkou LNG terminal project as an example and utilizes the open-source hydrodynamic numerical model FVCOM to simulate and compare the hydrodynamic characteristics of the tidal current field within the port area before and after the implementation of the water intake and discharge project of Yingkou LNG terminal.The focus is on investigating the impact of water intake and drainage outlet construction on the nearby three-dimensional flow field.The simulation results indicate that after the project implementation,there are slight changes in the surface and bottom flow velocity amplitudes of the tidal field near the water intake and drainage outlet,but the maximum change in surface flow velocity does not exceed 0.05 m/s.By analyzing the surface cross-flow velocities at typical measurement points within the port area,it is found that the maximum difference in cross-flow velocity among the characteristic points does not exceed 0.016 m/s.In summary, the implementation of water intake and drainage engineering has a very limited impact on the hydrodynamic characteristics of the tidal field in the study area,especially on the overall distribution pattern of the tidal field,which has not undergone significant changes.The research results can provide reference for the design and evaluation of similar engineering in ports.

Abstract:
As an important spatial carrier in the emergency rescue management system,the emergency rescue base is the foundation for carrying out rescue activities.Through a review of existing research both domestically and internationally,it has been found that there is a lack of research on the planning and design of emergency rescue bases for serving ports,and there is no mature methodology system in place.Based on the practical case of the project,by sorting out the types and risk characteristics of dangerous goods in ports,the special needs of emergency rescue in port areas are clarified,and planning and design methods for emergency rescue bases in dangerous goods port areas are proposed from the aspects of macro layout,land selection,functional structure,construction content,etc.The macro layout should be scientifically based on the number of target objects.The selection of land use site should be based on multiple factors such as higher-level planning,geographical environment,and limiting conditions.When designing the base,it is necessary to coordinate the interrelationships between various functional areas to improve usage efficiency.The determination of construction content should be based on the cargo and accident types in the port area.The research results can serve as a reference for the formulation of special plans and the planning and design of the construction of emergency rescue bases in the port area.

Abstract:
The downstream water level of the navigation hub is often lower than the designed lowest navigable water level during the dry season because of the factors of released clear water，sand mining and waterway dredging,etc.It will lead to problems that the water depth of the lock threshold and the submerged water depth of the water conveyance culverts are both less than the designed values and the maximum water head exceeds the designed water head.In this case,the normal operation of the ship lock may be affected.In response to the problem of a certain constructed hub,systematic analyses are conducted on the characteristics of the downstream water level changes of the dam and the characteristics of ship types crossing the dam in the past two years.The ship sinking index and surplus depth during navigation are calculated when the downstream low water level is beyond the design standard.The hydraulic characteristics of the ship lock filling and emptying process are studied under the reduced initial water depth and the increased water head conditions by mathematical model.And the corresponding hydraulic conditions of the filling and emptying system,the valve working conditions and the ship berthing conditions in the lock chamber are analyzed.On this basis,the opening modes of the valves are put forward based on the changeable downstream water level,which can optimize the hydraulic characteristic index and improve the berthing conditions of ships in the lock chamber.In addition,the engineering improvement measures of the valve system and the ship draft control parameters are given under the small submergence depth situation，so as to reduce the impact of downstream water level drop and ensure the operation of the ship lock.

Abstract:
The Matai Estuary Beach reach is located in the fluctuating backwater area of the Nuozhadu Reservoir on the Lancang River.Upstream,Hutiaoshi Beach is characterized as a narrow and shallow shoal,while downstream,the Matai Estuary Beach becomes a shallow and swift shoal at the stream mouth during the low-water level.Before the implementation of channel regulation works,the comprehensive criterion E value for the Matai Estuary Beach during high flow periods of the drawdown exceeded the permissible limit by 2-3 times,presenting significant challenges for navigation improvement.To address this issue,optimization trials are conducted for the downstream Matai Estuary Beach using a physical river model,aiming to meet the navigation improvement goals while minimizing upstream water level drops caused by the engineering works.The recommended plan involves dredging to increase the channel dimensions and expanding the discharge area at Matai Estuary Beach,accompanied by backwater measures through filling deep pools beneath the shoal.For the upstream Hujiaoshi Shoal,obstacle clearance is proposed to enhance channel dimensions.These measures have significantly improved the navigation conditions in the Matai Estuary Beach reach.However,under conditions of low water levels in front of the Nuozhadu Dam and high discharge from the Dachaoshan Dam,resistance to navigation at the Matai Estuary Beach remains considerable.The study further analyzes the impact of raising the operational water level in front of the dam on the navigation conditions of the recommended plan,and concludes that appropriately raising the water level in front of the dam could meet the requirements for ships to pass through the shoal.

Abstract:
Taking the two-stage arrangement of double-lane ship locks in the section from Changshan River to the provincial boundary of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Grand Canal as an example,this paper conducts research on the water-saving and intensive water use guarantee schemes for ship locks.For water-saving in ship locks,the method of mutual filling and emptying between double-lane ship locks is recommended.Through the analysis of water demand of the two-stage double-line ship locks,the theoretical water-saving rate can reach 50%.Considering the ecological water and shipping water demands of the canal,combined with factors such as the amount and distribution of water resources along the route,as well as topography and landforms,the water supply sources are studied and analyzed.Three water security schemes are proposed:constructing new reservoirs within the region,lifting water with pumps within the region,and building reservoirs and diverting water outside the region.Based on the construction content and engineering investment of each water supply guarantee scheme,and after technical and economic comparison,the scheme of lifting water with pumps within the region is recommended for the ship lock water supply guarantee.

Abstract:
In view of the problem that the shipping demand in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is large but there are many shoals and rapids leading to insufficient water depth,this paper conducts a study on the minimum navigable water depth of the Luzhou section of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.The minimum designed navigable flow rate for this river section is 3 396 m3/s,which is determined using the comprehensive duration curve method and the guarantee rate frequency method.The numerical model is used to simulate the Bingpanqi,Pangxieqi,and Wayaotan waterways.Based on the water depths of five typical shoal and rapid sections,the response relationship between shoals and rapids and navigable flow is established.It is concluded that when the navigation width of the typical shoal and rapid sections in this river section is 110 m,the corresponding minimum navigable water depth is 3.39 m,which meets the water depth and navigation width standards of Class II waterways.The research results can provide support for the later channel construction planning of the Luzhou section of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and facilitate the construction of high-grade waterways in the Luzhou section.

Abstract:
The built Longtoushan Junction on the Ganjiang River is situated on a bend,where the upstream and downstream approach channels of the first-line ship lock on the right bank are located in the main flow area.Affected by hydro-junction operation and incomplete construction,the navigation flow conditions remain poor.The second-line ship lock is planned to be constructed on the right side of the existing first-line ship lock.Comprehensive improvements are proposed to improve the flow condition,such as reducing the porosity rate of existing partition walls and extending the length,constructing additional guide walls and berthing piers for the first-line ship lock and building new downstream revetments with complementary dredging measures.The layout scheme of the second-line ship lock is optimized comprehensively.Navigable water flow conditions for the two ship locks are validated by physical model tests under typical operating conditions involving joint operation of the power plant and dam.The results demonstrate that implementing the new wall structure can decrease the partition wall permeability low than 20%.Uniform opening patterns for sluice gates are adopted,and 20# to 24# holes adjacent to the ship locks maintain partial opening when flood discharges reach once in two years specifically.The maximum navigable discharge of the first-line ship lock can increase from 5,000 m3/s to once in five years (15,100 m3/s),while the second-line ship lock can also achieve navigation flow of once in five years.

Abstract:
The second phase of the remediation project of Minjiang River Passage and the deepening project of the Minjiang River Estuary Barrage Sand Channel have been completed for 26 and 16 years respectively.During the period the conditions of upstream runoff and sediment have undergone great changes.The distribution pattern of the seashore and trough outside the mouth has changed greatly,and a series of problems such as the danger and siltation of navigable ships have occurred in individual sections.The waterway in the estuary area is affected by multiple factors such as runoff,tidal currents and waves,and it is in the process of continuous dynamic changes of scouring and silting,which is difficult to remediate.Based on the maintenance mapping and related data in the past 15 years,this paper summarizes the existing problems and analyzes the reasons for the current Minjiang waterway,and concludes that further governance of seaward channel of Minjiang River is necessary to ensure the safety of ship navigation.At the same time,further governance schemes such as adjusting the route of local sections,throwing bagged sand chain blocks outside the mouth to fix the beach and sand are put forward.It is also suggested that maintenance and restoration may not be necessary if local erosion of the inverted fish mouth dam or submerged dam is found.

Abstract:
Due to the poor performance of deep learning-based detectors in the past,scale variations,background variations,and visual occlusions reduce the accuracy of raw image localization.Therefore,an improved YOLOv5s+DeepSORT model is proposed to enhance adaptability to dock environments.To enhance the robustness of multi-scale loading objects,multi-scale convolution is embedded in YOLOv5s,and an efficient pyramid segmentation attention(EPSA) network is added to achieve more powerful feature fusion multi-scale representation.The mean average precision(mAP) is improved from 90.05% to 90.90%.By optimizing the original classification loss function through distributed sorting loss,the impact of imbalanced loading objects and background changes in dock image sequences is reduced,resulting in a 4.8% improvement in multiple object tracking accuracy (MOTA).Experiments on self built datasets show an average accuracy of 90.9% and a detection accuracy of 92.2%.

Abstract:
Aiming at the problems of large deformation calculation errors and low accuracy in numerical analysis methods for foundation pit engineering,a geological parameter inversion analysis method based on GWO-SVR is proposed in combination with existing monitoring data,which can achieve more accurate deformation calculation of foundation pits,especially suitable for foundation pits with significant deformation.On this basis,the causes of large deformation during the excavation process of adjacent anchor cable foundation pits are studied,and two different deformation control measures are compared and calculated.The effectiveness of the treatment measures is analyzed through measured data.The selection of the spacing between anchor cable foundation pits has a significant impact on the stability of the foundation pit and the stress of the supporting structure.By using numerical analysis methods,the deformation and internal forces of the foundation pit support piles,anchor cable forces,and soil pressure between piles under different spacing conditions are proposed.This can achieve differentiated design of the supporting structure for anchor cable foundation pits under different spacing conditions,providing reference for the selection and calculation analysis of anchor cable foundation pits.

Abstract:
Different projects have different requirements for post-work settlement.The inconsistent understanding of unloading standards encounters in the process of soft foundation treatment.Relying on an actual project,we use the hyperbolic method,three-point method and Asaoka method to calculate and analyze respectively.The results show that the unloading standard is more reasonable with consolidation degree as the main and settlement rate as the supplementary.The prediction result of three-point method is larger when calculating the consolidation degree,and it is appropriate to choose the points with the time interval of 25 d in the gentle section of curve.The prediction result of hyperbolic method is smaller,but the human influence is large,and it is necessary to exclude the previous data and anomalous data in the fitting.The Asaoka method is appropriate to choose the interval of 5 to 10 d,so as to be in good accordance with the actual measurement results.In actual projects,it is necessary to combine a variety of methods and actual observation data to comprehensively judge the degree of soft soil consolidation,in order to improve the accuracy and reliability of the prediction.

Abstract:
Percussion hammer drilling is a common method to solve the underwater reef-clearing task under ecological constraints.To improve the crushing efficiency of the reef without a free surface,this paper put forward the underwater shock hammer drilling technology combining drilling with impact hammers.Through the underwater drilling and impact hammer reef breaking field test,considering the water resistance effect of impact hammer movement in water and the cable drag effect,the impact hammer collision and penetration model under the influence of drilling is established.Combined with the 3DEC numerical simulation of drilling and impact hammer reef breaking,the damage evolution law of repeated impact of the hammer on the reef under the action of drilling is analyzed.The results show that drilling has no obvious effect on increasing the penetration depth of the underwater impact hammer,but the breaking depth and width of the reef can be significantly improved when the drop distance is below 10 m,and the reef cleaning efficiency can be increased by 183%.Hammer drop distance and drilling depth are the main controlling factors of reef-breaking efficiency.Under the combined action of drilling and impact hammer,the crushing volume after 5 shocks is about 103.24 times that of the first impact.Both drilling and multiple shocks can effectively improve the reef-clearing efficiency of the hammer,and drilling can further improve the reef-breaking efficiency of the hammer under multiple shocks.The research results can provide a reference for parameter design and site construction of underwater environmental protection reef clearing.

Abstract:
To risk of damage to existing submarine pipelines and cables during the construction of new projects in marine engineering,this paper takes the construction of approach bridge crossing submarine pipelines as an example,and systematically elaborates and analyzes the key construction ideas and technical applications of crossing pipeline engineering around the protection of submarine pipelines during on-site construction.The conclusion indicates that underwater exploration of submarine pipelines is still the most direct and effective way to determine the location of pipelines.Before exploration,sufficient analysis for pipeline information should be conducted,and safe techniques to pipeline surface dredging should be adopted.After determining the location of the pipeline,accurate and clear pipeline markings and vessel traffic signs should be set up at sea before construction to achieve visualization of the underwater pipeline and maritime traffic.Considering account various working conditions,Pre-fixed anchors can greatly reduce the risk of ship anchoring,and multi-level monitoring during construction is also an important measure to ensure pipeline safety.

Abstract:
For the topographic surveying in shallow coastal waters,there are some problems of high risk of running aground,low efficiency and poor safety of traditional shipborne acoustic depth measurement methods,and the cumbersome implementation process and insufficient accuracy of remote sensing retrieval of water depth and dual-medium photogrammetry methods.The low-altitude photogrammetry technology of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) is adopt to innovatively integrate into the navigation tide level correction model.A new topographic surveying method for shallow coastal waters on the basis of the low-altitude UAV is proposed and successfully applied in practical engineering.The results show that the method avoids the risks and limitations of traditional measurement methods effectively,and improves the working efficiency and safety significantly.The tidal level correction model during navigation in this method can eliminate the influence of tidal level error,and improve the accuracy of bottom topography surveying in shallow water area.The results not only provide a new,efficient and accurate method for the topographic survey of coastal shallow water area,but also provide a new technical idea and direction for the practical application in related fields.

Abstract:
The Canal Economic Zone represents an economic form that tightly integrates shipping economy with regional economy,serving as a significant measure to provide shipping support for the country’s new development pattern of “dual circulation”.Addressing issues such as unclear definition of the Canal Economic Zone,insufficient theoretical foundation,unclear operational logic,and unsystematic overall understanding,this article proposes the connotative characteristics of the Canal Economic Zone and a canal-oriented economic zone system.By employing interdisciplinary research,qualitative analysis,and case study methods,it concludes that the core content of Canal Economic Zone planning is to comprehensively develop the regions along the canal,develop canal-related industrial systems,organize production factors around the canal,and guide the agglomeration of urban and rural populations,ultimately forming a banded territorial spatial layout.The research results show that Canal Economic Zone planning should focus on six key aspects:core industries,banded space,open mechanisms,green development,county economy,and government-enterprise cooperation,to establish a canal-oriented productivity organization and territorial spatial layout model.

Abstract:
Wave is the main environmental load for pile-supported wharf (PSW) in deep water area.Investigating the dynamic response characteristics of PSW-seabed system under wave action is the basis of dynamic design for deep water port.In this paper,a 3D finite element model of wave-PSW-seabed is established by ADINA.Pore water pressure and acceleration of seabed around pile,deck displacement,as well as dynamic water pressure time history of pile shaft under wave action are obtained.The dynamic response characteristics of the PSW-seabed system are analyzed,and the influence of the changing wave period on the dynamic response of this system is discussed.The numerical simulation results show that:1) there is no cumulative effect on pore pressure around pile under wave action;2) Dynamic water pressure of middle pile is significantly greater than that of the side pile;3) Amplitudes of seabed pore pressure,seabed acceleration,and dynamic water pressure attenuate along the wave propagation,and the smaller wave period,the more significant the attenuation effect.The modeling technique involved in this study can provide reference for similar PSW numerical simulation under wave action,and the investigation results can provide support for dynamic design of PSW-seabed system.

Abstract:
Scour protection is one of the important issues that need to be faced in the design and maintenance of dock pile foundations.This article explores the feasibility of using solidified soil for pile foundation erosion protection,that is,using engineering construction soil to add suitable solidification agents to form solidified soil,covering the scouring area of bridge piers in an appropriate way,enhancing the anti erosion performance of the bed surface,and thus playing a protective role.This article conducted targeted physical model experiments and numerical simulations on the flowability,shear strength,and erosion resistance of different solidified soil formulations.The experimental results show that the collapse diameter of solidified soil increases with the increase of soil to water ratio,and the fluidity of solidified soil decreases rapidly with time.The shear strength of solidified soil slowly increases over time,and as the ash to soil ratio increases,the strength of solidified soil will also increase accordingly.The overall resistance of solidified soil to water flow erosion is good,and it can be used as a new type of erosion protection material.In underwater environments,the strength of solidified soil also increases over time,and its durability is good.

Abstract:
In recent years,with the rapid development of shipping economy,waterway regulation projects are frequent in the Yangtze River basin.Although waterway regulation projects can improve flow conditions,they also have a certain impact on fish habitat.To explore the impact of different waterway regulation projects on fish habitat,we take Luoqi Reach of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River as an example,and use numerical simulation method to compare and analyze the changes of habitat suitability of Four Major Chinese Carps before and after the waterway regulation project from the perspective of ecology and hydraulics.The results show that after the waterway regulation project,the very suitable area ratio of fish habitat increases by 1.21% at most,and the unsuitable area ratio decreases by 1.85% at most.Moreover,with the increase of water level and flow,the sub channel upstream of Luoqi will produce a suitable habitat environment for survival.

Abstract:
The modern coastal protection systems place higher demands on the crest elevation and permeable of breakwaters.A three-dimensional numerical wave flume based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations is established to investigate the wave force of submerged perforated semi-circular breakwaters under the action of shallow water waves.The results indicate that there is a phase difference between the horizontal and vertical forces acting on the submerged semi-circular breakwater,with the critical sliding moment generally corresponding to the moment of maximum shoreward horizontal force.As the perforation rate increases from 0% to 25%,the dimensionless maximum shoreward and seaward horizontal forces on the submerged semi-circular breakwater decrease by 27.8% and 39.8%,respectively.With decreasing wave period and increasing submergence depth,the seaward sliding force on the submerged semi-circular breakwater increases.Empirical formulas provide conservative estimates for the total force on unperforated semi-circular breakwaters under long-period waves and extreme submergence conditions,and further overestimate the wave forces on submerged perforated semi-circular breakwaters.

Abstract:
After the 175 m water storage operation of the Three Gorges project,the scale of Jiulongpo to Chaotianmen reach cannot meet planning requirements.During the sedimentation period,the sediment is washed up and down,and the erosion is not timely,causing shallow navigation obstruction in the channel.The channel regulation of this reach is carried out from 2016 to 2020 to improve the channel scale of the engineering reach and curb the adverse development of channel conditions.After the completion of the project,the improvement effect is analyzed through regular observation.The results show that the river regime in the engineering reach is stable,the scale of the channel is significantly improved,and the unfavorable development trend is curbed,resulting in effective improvement of the channel conditions,achieving the goal of channel regulation.

Abstract:
Coral reef sand,due to its special engineering properties such as fragility and high compressibility,differs from conventional sand.During impact pile driving,the process can easily cause complex changes in coral reef sand particles,such as breakage and shear,leading to pile running.Unanticipated pile running,especially over long distances,not only increases the difficulty of pile driving control but also poses high construction risks.Therefore,there is an urgent need for an analysis method to predict the depth of pile running in deep coral sand formations to guide pile driving control and reduce construction risks.In this paper,high strain pile tests are conducted in deep coral reef sand formations based on actual engineering scenarios.The analysis of soil resistance values in pile running conditions in coral reef sand is carried out,and a method for predicting the distance of pile running in coral reef sand formations is proposed.Furthermore,the pile driving control method that considers the risk reduction of pile running is proposed,and it is applied to 602 driven piles on-site for risk prediction of pile running and pile driving control,and the laws of pile diving in coral reef sand stratum are summarized.

Abstract:
The riverway conditions of the Huangpu River are complicated with many river bends,while Lujiazui Bend owns the largest curvature together with the smallest turning radius of the waterway among all the river bends of Huangpu River.With the rapid growth of the number of navigable ships in the Huangpu River,the silting of the beach near the convex bank of the Lujiazui Bend has a certain influence on the safe navigation of passing ships in recent years.Viewing platforms,regarded as urban reception halls of Shanghai,are set along Luijiazui Bend.Adverse impacts will be resulted from safety incidents in case.Therefore,we analyze the hydrological and sediment characteristics of Lujiazui Bend of Huangpu River,and historical changes of river regime as well as navigation characteristics of ships and surrounding restrictions,and propose the waterway layout and regulation measures in Lujiazui.The results show that cutting and widening the convex bank shoals on the east side of Lujiazui can slove the narrow problem of navigable waters of the bend,and improve the bend navigation environment for ships.

Abstract:
To ensure the long-term operational safety of frame-structure vertical wharfs in inland waterways,it is crucial to conduct monitoring and inspection of their service performance.The placement and scheme of monitoring sensors directly affect the accuracy and reliability of monitoring results.Therefore,sensors should ideally be positioned within the structural load sensitive areas.However,due to the complexity of frame-structure vertical wharfs and the large number of load combinations,the locations and distributions of structural load sensitive areas under the most adverse load combinations remain unclear.To address this issue,this study,based on a large inland hub port,establishes a three-dimensional numerical simulation model of a frame-structure vertical wharf segment.By developing an algorithm to identify the most adverse load combinations for critical structural components,the most adverse load combinations for each component are determined.On this basis,the distribution patterns of load response points and the ranges of sensitive areas under the most adverse load combinations are identified by using finite element numerical simulation.The results indicate that under complex load combinations,steel components of frame-structure vertical wharfs exhibit greater load sensitivity compared to concrete components.The sensitive areas of steel components are primarily located at the junctions of high and low water levels and the cantilever ends of the front-row steel mooring structures.This study addresses issues such as redundancy and ineffectiveness in monitoring point placement,providing a theoretical basis for the deployment of monitoring sensors in inland hub port wharfs.

Abstract:
Research and practice on maintenance and dredging engineering are conducted to address the navigation obstacles faced by the Xiaziliang shoal section of the Three Gorges Reservoir’s variable backwater area during dry season,such as bends,narrowness,rapidity,and danger.It is found that the overall trend of this beach section is slow and continuous sedimentation by collecting a large amount of historical measured data and comparing and analyzing the changes in isobaths and erosion and sedimentation over the years.On the basis of the waterway conditions and water characteristics of this river section,the construction equipment and the water level are compared,and a reasonable maintenance and dredging plan is formulated.Implementation results of the project indicate that the maintenance and dredging project can improve the conditions of the waterway,expand navigable waters,and reduce the difficulty of ship operation,thereby ensuring the smoothness and safety of the waterway.

Abstract:
Taking a dock project on the left bank of the Beijiang River as an example,the finite volume method is used to establish the one-dimensional hydrodynamic model for the 37.0 km long section of the Shaoguan (II) hydrological station to Mengli hydropower station,and the two-dimensional hydrodynamic model for the 4.6 km long section of the project.A quantitative study is conducted on the differences in flood level,flow velocity distribution,and flood storage capacity of river channels under different construction schemes.The results show that when the flood frequency ranges from once every 50 years to once every 10 years,the increment of flood level is lower than 0.02 m under different schemes.The changes in flow velocity and pattern are mainly concentrated in the local river section from 100 m upstream to 260 m downstream of the dock.However,the changes in high flow velocity areas of the river are relatively small,as well as the changes in the dynamic axis of the main channel.Meanwhile,the actual flood storage capacity of the river has increased under the action of dredging in the harbor.From the perspective of flood safety and cargo safety,scheme 2 is a recommended plan,and relevant research methods can provide scientific reference for similar dock construction plans.

Abstract:
In the context of the double-lane ship locks sharing approach channel project,unsteady flow is prone to occur in the approach channel during lock discharge,causing turbulence in the flow field inside the approach channel,seriously affecting the safety of ship navigation and docking in the approach channel.Taking Mujing ship lock as an example,based on the RNG k-ε turbulent flow model,the navigation hydraulic characteristics of the approach channel are numerically simulated,and the unsteady navigation conditions inside the second-lane lock and the approach channel are analyzed during the discharge of the first-lane ship lock.The results show that when both sides of the first-lane ship lock release water simultaneously,the flow velocity in the approach channel does not meet the requirements of ship navigation and docking,and the formation of reflux,oblique and transverse flow patterns at the front of the separation dike of the second-lane ship lock affects the safety of ships entering and exiting the second-lane ship lock.After adopting the recommended side discharge method,the flow pattern in the approach channel has been improved,and the navigation flow conditions meet the requirements of safe navigation.The research results can provide a solution for the discharge method of double-lane ship locks.

Abstract:
The Mangdantan channel,consisting of three continuous branches,locates in the middle and lower reaches of the Nujiang River with bad flow condition.To investigate the natural navigation obstruction characteristics in Mangdantan continuous branching channel,the influence of different discharges in normal and dry period on the flow diversion,gradient,water depth condition and current speed distribution are numerically analyzed by the two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic model.The results show that the natural navigation obstruction characteristics include large gradient,insufficient water depth and rapid current speed.In addition,the flow condition in the branches R1-L2-L3 is better than those in the branches R1-R2-L3,therefore the branches R1-L2-L3 are suggested to be developed as the navigation channel.The research results can provide technical support and theoretical guidance for the regulation of Mangdantan and the channel development of similar continuous branching rivers.

Abstract:
High pile structure is a kind of structure widely used in port and coast.Its dynamic response under wave action is the key factor to ensure the stable operation of the wharf.The software ABAQUS is used to build a three-dimensional wharf model and a wave flume with STAR-CCM+.The k-ε turbulence model and volume of fluid (VOF) motion interface tracking method are used to simulate waves,and the simulation of bidirectional coupling between wharf pile groups and waves is realized.Since the ratio of pile spacing to pile diameter is greater than 4,the interaction between piles does not need to be considered,and the error of the comparison model test is less than 5%,which can meet the requirements.The results show that the maximum force and displacement of the wharf pile groups under wave heights of 0.3 m,0.4 m,and 0.5 m can meet the code requirements.The displacement at the top of the pile is the largest,which is 0.66 mm.The maximum stress occurs at the bottom of the front row of piles in the pile group,which is 152.4 kPa.The concrete in the pile bottom area is prone to instability and failure,and special attention should be paid in practical engineering.

Abstract:
Tidal asymmetry exerts an influence on nearshore material transportation and geomorphic evolution.Based on the Delft 3D FM,a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model is employed to establish the tidal movement simulations of Lingding Bay under the conditions of 1 970 s,2 010 s and the 2016 governing guideline shoreline.The response of tidal asymmetry to the seaward advancement of the shoreline in this area is analyzed by combining the reconciliation analysis and the skewness calculation method.Furthermore,the mechanism underlying tidal asymmetry change is examined by analyzing the contribution of different tidal constituent combinations.The research results show that the tidal height asymmetry between spring and neap tides in Lingding Bay varies.The seaward advance of the shoreline strengthens the flood tide dominance in tidal asymmetry.The seaward extension of the shoreline increases the tidal amplitude of the shallow water components while reducing the amplitude of the astronomical components,concurrently accelerating the tidal wave propagation speed.The contribution of the astronomical tidal components to tidal asymmetry gradually decreases upstream,whereas the contribution of the shallow water tidal components gradually increases.

Abstract:
multi-beam echo sounder system is used to monitor short-term erosion and sedimentation changes in the offshore area of the logistics park embankment in Binhai Port.It is found that there is an east-west oriented scour hole on the outer side of the embankment corner,which is about 570 m long and 110 m wide,and its edge has reached the bottom of the embankment,posing significant safety hazards.Through the analysis of monitoring data from May to November 2023,it is found that the edges of the scour hole continues to erode and showed no signs of slowing down.The research results provide accurate data support for subsequent embankment projects.The multi-beam echo sounder system can accurately identify the spatiotemporal changes in underwater topography,offering effective reference for similar embankment deformation monitoring.
