Water waves play an important role in local scour around subsea pipelines laid on the sandy seabed, especially in shallow water regions. In this paper, a two-dimensional numerical model is employed to predict local scour around submarine pipelines under water waves in shoaling condition. The motion of water under waves is simulated by solving the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. The evolution of the seabed surface near the pipeline is predicted by solving the conservation of the sediment mass, which transport in the water in the forms of bed load and suspended load. The main aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the seabed slope on the scour profiles and scour depth. To achieve this aim, numerical simulations of scour around a pipeline on a flat seabed and on a slope seabed with a slope angle of 15° are conducted for various wave conditions.

The effect of gradation of armour stones and the amount of rounded stones in the armour on dynamically stable breakwaters was assessed in a two-dimensional wave flume. A total of 52 series of tests were undertaken at the Coastal Engineering Research Laboratory of Queen's University, Kingston, Canada using irregular waves. Profiles of the structure during the various stages of reshaping were measured using a semiautomatic profiler developed for this study. Four gradations of armour stones were used, giving a range in uniformity coefficient of 1.35–5.4. The volume of stones and the initial berm width required for the development of a stable profile, along with the extent to which the toe of the structure progressed seaward, were chosen as representative parameters of the reshaped breakwater. The results indicated that the toe width formed as a result of reshaping and the area of stones required for reshaping were dependent on the gradation of the armour stones. The initial berm width required for reshaping was also found to be dependent on the gradation and the percentage of rounded stones in the armour. Key words: breakwaters, dynamic stability, hydraulic models, stability, armour stones.

Hydrologic Condition

To ensure the secure buried depth of the subway tunnel which was routed underneath the Fenghuahe River, a two-dimensional tidal current and sediment transportation model was established to simulate the maximum scour depth of the riverbed. The conclusions were shown as follows: the most disadvantageous hydrologic condition was a combination of the 200-year return period flood in the Fenghuahe River and the 5-year highest tide in the Yonghe River. The maximum scour depth of the riverbed above the subway tunnel was 1.19 m and the lowest elevation of the riverbed cross-section was -8.56m. The results could provide technical support for the safety of subway design.

Abstract. To translate a point hydrograph forecast into products for use by environmental agencies and civil protection authorities, a hydraulic model is necessary. Typical one- and two-dimensional hydraulic models are able to predict dynamically varying inundation extent, water depth and velocity for river and floodplain reaches up to 100 km in length. However, because of uncertainties over appropriate surface friction parameters, calibration of hydraulic models against observed data is a necessity. The value of different types of data is explored in constraining the predictions of a simple two-dimensional hydraulic model, LISFLOOD-FP. For the January 1995 flooding on the River Meuse, The Netherlands, a flow observation data set has been assembled for the 35-km reach between Borgharen and Maaseik, consisting of Synthetic Aperture Radar and air photo images of inundation extent, downstream stage and discharge hydrographs, two stage hydrographs internal to the model domain and 84 point observations of maximum free surface elevation. The data set thus contains examples of all the types of data that potentially can be used to calibrate flood inundation models. 500 realisations of the model have been conducted with different friction parameterisations and the performance of each realisation has been evaluated against each observed data set. Implementation of the Generalised Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) methodology is then used to determine the value of each data set in constraining the model predictions as well as the reduction in parameter uncertainty resulting from the updating of generalised likelihoods based on multiple data sources.

On the basis of the GPR method principle, data acquisition and processing, this paper mainly discusses two-dimensional GPR profiles and three-dimensional GPR images through GPR detection example about the voids of highway bridge head subgrade and the grouting distribution. Three-dimensional images accurately and directly evaluate the grouting effect. Thus it illustrates that GPR used to detect the voids of highway bridge head roadbed and the grouting distribution is an effective method.
