[Journal Article]LI Hongfei, DU Hui, WU Yabing et al.-Haihe Water Resources2026, No.05

Abstract:To ensure the structural safety of the lining during the repair of the channel in the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project,this study develops a refined three-dimensional(3D)numerical model based on the concrete damaged plasticity(CDP)theory,leveraging a dry-land repair scheme with an expandable cofferdam.The model is used to investigate the stress,displacement response,and damage evolution of the channel slope lining slab under various load distribution ratios between the track system and the waterstop structure.The results indicate that:During the cofferdam lowering stage,the lining slab remains within the elastic range,and the structure is safe.After dewatering the cofferdam's interior,the stress in the lining slab increases significantly,with the upper surface primarily subjected to compressive stress and the lower surface to tensile stress.When the load distribution ratio between the track system and the waterstop structure is 5:5,the stress distribution in the lining slab is uniform,the total displacement is minimized,and no compressive or tensile damage occurs,indicating that the structure is in an optimal elastic working state.The findings of this research can provide a theoretical basis for the optimal design of the expandable cofferdam and for ensuring construction safety.

[Journal Article]HUO Xiaofeng-Haihe Water Resources2026, No.z1

Abstract:The facade stone protection of the Muchang Ship Lock Project on the North Canal was constructed using the dry-hang method.However,the conventional installation process suffered from issues such as relatively low construction efficiency and significant schedule risks.Through technical diagnosis,the alignment calibration between the grooves and the hangers was identified as the key bottleneck restricting construction efficiency.To address this problem,two core technical improvement measures were proposed:(1)replacing the sling material with a soft steel wire rope(6×7-FC1770ZS)of 8 mm diameter to resolve the difficulty of sling removal after installation;and(2)optimizing the measurement reference by shifting the measuring points from the front face of the dressed stone to the back face without decorative patterns,thereby improving measurement accuracy.Engineering application results demonstrate that after optimization,the installation time per single block of dressed stone was reduced from 36 minutes to 14 minutes,a reduction of 61.1%,and the daily installation volume increased from 17 blocks to 41 blocks,meeting the milestone schedule requirements.The research findings can serve as a reference for the installation of dressed stones in similar ship lock and water conservancy projects.

Hydraulic Analysis and Calculation of Flood Diversion Scheme for the Downstream Reach of Raoyang River
[Journal Article]XU Shiming-Haihe Water Resources2026, No.05

Abstract:Taking the downstream diversion scheme of Raoyang River as an example,based on the calibration of one-dimensional MIKE11 model and the verification of two-dimensional MIKE21FM model,the influence of different diversion channel widths(50 m,100 m,200 m)on the flood level and diversion efficiency of the river channel is analyzed.The results show that the width of the diversion channel is positively correlated with the decrease in water level,but the increase slows down with the increase of width;The 200 m wide diversion channel reduces the water level by 1.05 m for floods that occur with a return period of less than 5 years,and significantly increases the proportion of diversion flow.The research can provide a reference for the design of flood diversion projects in northern plain rivers.

Application of Safety Management under EPC Mode in Jiyun River Estuary Pumping Station Project
[Journal Article]WANG Shuai, JIAO Tiancai-Haihe Water Resources2026, No.z1

Abstract:The engineering procurement construction(EPC)joint venture model has become the mainstream construction mode for large and medium-sized water conservancy projects in China.However,existing research still has gaps in refinement of safety management responsibilities and rights in joint ventures and design-construction safety synergy.Under the EPC joint venture model,safety management faces five typical problems:diluted safety responsibility,absence of source prevention and control,fragmentation of management and control systems,insufficient emergency support,and weak subcontracting control.Taking the Jiyun River Estuary Pumping Station Project in Tianjin as a case study for empirical research,this paper proposes a comprehensive safety management system addressing these issues,encompassing responsibility consolidation,deep integration of design and construction,rigid assessment mechanisms,unified emergency management,and full-chain subcontractor control.The project achieved zero safety incidents throughout the entire construction process involving deep foundation pits and electromechanical equipment installation,with a 100%closed-loop rectification rate for potential hazards and a 100%compliance rate for major risk engineering controls.The project was also selected as a pilot project for the"Six Mechanisms"of safety risk control in Tianjin.The research findings can provide replicable practical references for refined safety management in similar water conservancy EPC joint venture projects.

[Journal Article]KONG Dexuan, YAO Yumei, LING Feng et al.-Haihe Water Resources2026, No.z1

Abstract:Taking the Hebei Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station as an example,this paper discussed the applicability and implementation path of the phased acceptance mode for soil and water conservation in pumped storage power station projects with long construction periods and batch commissioning.Aiming at the contradiction between the"three simultaneous"requirements in the Law of the People's Republic of China on Soil and Water Conservation and the batch commissioning of pumped storage power stations,as well as the inapplicability of phased acceptance in the Acceptance Specification for Soil and Water Conservation Engineering of Hydropower Project,this paper employed a combination of case analysis and policy review,focusing on the connection between actual project progress and the"three simultaneous"system for soil and water conservation.The results indicate that through reasonable division of phased acceptance scope and refinement of six-indicator calculation,the phased acceptance mode can effectively coordinate the temporal contradiction between project phased commissioning and soil and water conservation acceptance,achieving a benign control mechanism of"construction,restoration,and acceptance simultaneously".The phased acceptance of the Hebei Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station provides referable management ideas for soil and water conservation acceptance of similar projects,and simultaneously provides practical basis for promoting the improvement of relevant codes in terms of phased acceptance scope,standards,and procedures.

[Journal Article]CHEN Jun, CHEN Xiaofeng, MEI Haipeng et al.-Haihe Water Resources2026, No.05

Abstract:To evaluate the impact of impervious walls on the seepage characteristics of a small(Type 2)reservoir dam,this paper employs numerical simulation based on Autobank software to compare and analyze the seepage characteristics and downstream slope stability of the dam body under two conditions:with and without an impervious core wall.Five typical operating conditions are selected for the study,and key parameters such as the exit point slope,horizontal segment slope,exit point elevation,seepage flow rate,and slope safety factor are quantitatively calculated.The research results show that after the installation of the impervious wall,the exit point slope,horizontal segment slope,exit point elevation,and seepage flow rate of the dam body are significantly reduced,and the dam slope safety factor is improved.The impervious core wall ensures the seepage stability of the dam body and plays an important role in the safe operation of the dam.

[Journal Article]ZHAO Qinglu, PAN Xu, WANG Qian et al.-Haihe Water Resources2026, No.03

Abstract:The use of remote sensing technology to invert soil moisture data plays an important role in regional drought monitoring.This study utilized Landsat 8 remote sensing image data to construct the feature space of surface temperature(TS)and normalized difference vegetation index(INDV)in Liaocheng,and validated the inversion model using field measured soil moisture data.Research has found that the ITVD obtained from remote sensing image inversion is significantly correlated with the measured soil moisture content in the field(α=0.05).The highest correlation was found between ITVD and soil moisture from 10 to 20 cm(R2=0.576).From October 2020 to April 2021,Liaocheng experienced varying degrees of drought,with a drought area of 64.34%in April 2021.The monitoring results are highly consistent with the actual drought situation in Liaocheng.In summary,ITVD can be used for drought monitoring in Liaocheng.

Thermal Migration Characteristics of Core Wall Dam Flow in Shangdian Reservoir Based on COMSOL
[Journal Article]GUI Dongdong-Haihe Water Resources2026, No.03

Abstract:To study the leakage and failure mechanism of the core dam of Shangdian Reservoir,the Johansen mathematical thermal conductivity model was introduced,and the influence of the geometric and physical characteristics of the core wall on the flow heat transfer of the core dam was studied based on the COMSOL numerical calculation platform.Research has shown that the permeability coefficient of the core wall will change the head value and infiltration line of the core wall dam,especially the stable period of the infiltration line will be affected.In contrast,the permeability coefficient of the core wall has a higher impact on the single width seepage volume of the dangerous area than the total single width seepage volume of the core wall.As the permeability coefficient of the core wall increases,the temporal changes in the temperature field of the core wall dam will not be affected,but will only alter the temperature distribution level of the core wall dam.The inclination of the core wall has a relatively small impact on the water head value of the core wall dam,but it will change the balance of the seepage line of the dam body.At the same time,the inclination of the core wall has less effect on the single width seepage flow of the dangerous area than the total single width seepage flow of the core wall.The inclination of the core wall will change the temporal trend of the temperature field of the core wall dam and shorten the stable period of the temperature field of the core wall dam.The research conclusion has certain reference significance for the coupling study of seepage field and temperature field of reservoir core wall dam,as well as the exploration of leakage failure mechanism.
