The invention relates to debris flow control technology, particularly to a method for planning and designing debris flow drainage channels and applications thereof for both debris flow accumulation fans with a length below 300 meters and debris flow accumulation fans with a length over 300 meters.
The density of a debris flow is far higher than the density of a water flow, and the fluidic dualistic structure of the debris flow, which contains clastic soil, has particularity and shows the characteristics of high inertia, strong transport force, and huge impact force. Due to the severe erosion produced by debris flow movement, a gully bed undergoes severe changes that can cause bottom tearing of the gully bed and the collapse of a gully bank, adding solid matter sources that replenish the debris flow, thereby increasing the damage it causes. Drainage channels are among the main engineering measures for the prevention and control of debris flows, and the reasonable planning of debris flow drainage channels has great social, economic and ecological environmental significance for reducing the destructive power of debris flows and improving the safety of downstream protected objects.
Under the influence of factors such as the interaction of mountainous terrain, a debris flow gully and a main river, for example, a debris flow-deposited fan for constructing a drainage channel may be very long, at over 1000 meters, or very short, at only approximately 100 meters. For debris flow-deposited fans with different lengths, the reasonable planning of debris flow drainage channels is key to effectively preventing and controlling debris flows and protecting any protected objects on the deposited fans.
Currently, a debris flow drainage channel generally includes an inlet section, a main channel section and an outlet section in the drainage channel plane. The channel types of the three sections are the same, mainly a fully lined type and a transversely penetrated notched sill type. The integrally single channel type structure easily causes problems that the flow velocity of the debris flow at the upper end of the main channel increases too slowly and the flow velocity of the debris flow at the lower end of the main channel is too fast, so that the upper end of the drainage channel is deposited and the downstream part of the drainage channel is eroded. On the other hand, for a long accumulated fan (length over 300 meters), currently, the same drainage channel is adopted to drain the debris flow generally, which causes defects because it is difficult to adapt the drainage channel to the great changes in the longitudinal slope of a gully bed in a long deposited fan. As a result, the upper end of the drainage channel is eroded and the lower end of the drainage channel is deposited. An overlong drainage channel is not beneficial to the stability of a entire drainage system. For example, after the upper end of a fully lined drainage channel with a length of 750 meters at the Shiwei River in Yunlong County of Yunnan Province was subject to bottom tearing, chain bottom tearing of the drainage channel occurs, and consequently the entire channel was destroyed.
To address the current problem of lacking reasonable planning and design in the construction of a drainage channel, this invention provides a method for planning and designing debris flow drainage channels. This method is implemented by scientifically planning the composition of a debris flow drainage channel and reasonably selecting the channel type for the main channel. In particular, to construct a drainage channel on a long debris flow accumulation fan with a length of over 300 meters, it is proposed that the flow velocity of a debris flow be regulated by using an inter-channel transitional zone to efficiently drain the debris flow downstream via the drainage channel, thus avoiding the severe erosion and deposition of the debris flow in the drainage channel and thereby maximizing protection of the protected objects on the deposited fans.
For the purpose stated above, the technical scheme of the invention is as follows.
The invention is a method for planning and designing debris flow drainage channels. A drainage channel is divided into a big-end-up bell-mouthed inlet section, an acceleration section, a main channel section in which the debris flow flows in a balanced mode, and a big-end-down bell-mouthed outlet section along the flow direction of the debris flow. The method for planning and designing debris flow drainage channels comprises the following steps:
(1) According to the topographic conditions of the debris flow accumulation fan, plan the position of the drainage channel and determine the total length L of the proposed drainage channel. Following the principle that cutting and filling are basically balanced and according to the topography of the proposed drainage channel, determine the longitudinal slope of the gully bed of the drainage channel, wherein the total length L of the drainage channel is less than or equal to 300 m.
(2) Adopting fully lined channel type in the inlet section. According to the properties of a drained debris flow and the longitudinal slope of the gully bed of the drainage channel determined in step (1), determine the length L1 of the inlet section and the included angle α between the side wall of the inlet section (1) and the main channel, given that the length L1 of the inlet section is generally 1.5-5.0 times as large as the width of the bottom of the drainage channel, and the included angle α between the side wall of the inlet section and the main channel is generally 10-30 degrees. Specific values are determined based on the properties of the debris flow: for a viscous debris flow, L1 takes a maximum value, and a takes a minimum value; for a transitional debris flow, both L1 and a are mid-values; and for a dilute debris flow, L1 takes a minimum value, and a takes a maximum value;
(3) Adopting fully lined channel type in the outlet section. According to the properties of the drained debris flow and the longitudinal slope of the gully bed of the drainage channel determined in step (1), determine the length L4 of the outlet section and the included angle β between the side wall of the outlet section and the main channel, given that the length L4 of the outlet section is generally 1.0-3.0 times as large as the width of the bottom of the drainage channel, and the included angle β between the side wall of the outlet section and the main channel is generally 5-15 degrees. Specific values are taken with reference to the properties of the debris flow: for a viscous debris flow, L4 takes a maximum value, and β takes a minimum value; for a transitional debris flow, both L4 and β are mid-values; and for a dilute debris flow, L4 takes a minimum value, and β takes a maximum value.
(4) Adopting fully lined channel type in the acceleration section. According to steady non-uniform channel gradually varied flow calculation model, determine the L2 of the acceleration section; i.e., the length L2 of the acceleration section=(Ex−Es)/(i−J), wherein Ex refers to the specific energy of a downstream cross-section of the section,
Es refers to the specific energy of an upstream cross-section of the acceleration section,
i refers to the longitudinal slope of the gully bed of the drainage channel; J refers to the average hydraulic gradient of the top surface of the debris flow at the acceleration section; h1 refers to the sludge-level depth of the debris flow at the upstream cross-section of the acceleration section; v1 refers to the flow velocity of the debris flow at the upstream cross-section of the acceleration section; h2 refers to the sludge-level depth of the debris flow at the downstream cross-section of the acceleration section; and v2 refers to the flow velocity of the debris flow at the downstream cross-section of the acceleration section.
(5) According to the longitudinal slope of the gully bed of the drainage channel determined in step (1) and the optimal longitudinal slope intervals of the gully beds applicable to different channel types of drainage channels, determine the channel type of the main channel section. Determine the length L3 (L3=L−L1−L2−L4) of the main channel section, given that the channel type of the main channel section may be a fully lined type (also known as a V-shaped channel), a symmetrical notched sill type (for a concrete structure, see patent ZL 2010 2 0223262.1), a staggered notched sill type (for a concrete structure, see patent ZL 2009 1 0058217.7), a transversely penetrated notched sill type (also known as a Dongchuan channel), or a box lined type (for a concrete structure, see patent application 201110380681.5). The optimal longitudinal slope intervals of gully beds applicable to different channel types of drainage channels are as follows: 0.01-0.03 for fully lined type, 0.03-0.08 for symmetrical notched sill type, 0.08-0.12 for staggered notched sill type, 0.12-0.20 for transversely penetrated notched sill type and 0.20-0.40 for box lined type.
The main technical concept behind the method for planning and designing debris flow drainage channels is as follows. By regulating the flow velocity of the debris flow from upstream to downstream, severe erosion and deposition of the debris flow during motion is prevented. To increase the flow velocity of the debris flow as far as possible without exceeding the bearing scope of the channel body materials, the drainage channel is divided into an inlet section (in which the debris flow smoothly enters the drainage channel), an acceleration section (in which the flow velocity of the debris flow is rapidly increased), a main channel section (in which the debris flow is drained in a balanced mode at a flow velocity that is as fast as possible without exceeding the bearing scope of the materials) and an outlet section. To enable the debris flow to smoothly enter and exit the drainage channel, the inlet section, the acceleration section and the outlet section are all fully lined channel types. Because the movement characteristics and energy consumption of a debris flow in different types of drainage channels are different, the erosion and deposition characteristics of the debris flow are also different, so that depending on the longitudinal slope of the gully bed, the channel type of the main channel section should be a fully lined type, a symmetrical notched sill type, a staggered notched sill type, a transversely penetrated notched sill type, or a box lined type. The reasonable longitudinal slope ranges of the fully lined type and transversely penetrated notched sill type main channel sections would be determined based on a large set of actual drainage channel engineering statistics, and the reasonable longitudinal slope ranges of the symmetrical notched sill type, staggered notched sill type and box lined type main channel sections would be determined according to the roughness factors of the channel types.
Regulating the flow velocity of a debris flow refers to determining the limited flow velocity of a drainage channel based on the material and structure of the drainage channel. For a cement-rubble structure, the limited flow velocity is 6 m/s; for a concrete structure or a reinforced concrete structure, the limited flow velocity is 8 m/s; and for a steel fiber reinforced concrete structure, the limited flow velocity is 10 m/s. To maximize the drainage efficiency of the drainage channel, the designed flow velocity v2 of the downstream cross-section of the acceleration section and the designed flow velocity of the main channel section are 0.8-1.0 times as large as the limited flow velocity.
This method for planning and designing is suitable for constructing a debris flow drainage channel with a total length L of less than or equal to 300 m. The upstream part of the inlet section of the debris flow drainage channel is provided with a check dam, which is used to regulate the debris flow movement and used with the constructed drainage channel.
When the length of a debris flow-deposited fan is greater than 300 m, from upstream to downstream, at least two debris flow drainage channels that are relatively independent, connected in an end-to-end mode, and constructed according to the method for planning and designing are arranged, and the upstream part of the inlet section of the farthest upstream drainage channel is provided with a check dam used with the drainage channel. A transition zone is arranged between the upstream and downstream drainage channels and is used to accommodate the afflux of a debris flow or a torrential flood in a tributary ditch on the surface of the fan or is used to lead out part of the debris flow to prevent depositing. For a situation in which a drainage channel is constructed on a long deposited fan, according to the longitudinal slope of the gully bed of the long deposited fan, sectional and relatively independent short channels are arranged on the long deposited fan, such that each short channel comprises an inlet section, an acceleration section, a main channel section and an outlet section, and the longitudinal slope of the gully bed of each independent short channel and the channel type of the main channel section are separately determined. A transition zone is arranged at an engaged part between two short channels that can accommodate the afflux of debris flows or floods in other tributary ditches on the surface of the fan. Due to the changes in the longitudinal slope of the gully bed, for a situation in which the drainage capacity of the lower end is reduced, part of the debris flow can be directed out to prevent depositing (connected with a stop and deposit field through an overflow port arranged on the transitional zone) so that local deposits are eliminated, thereby maintaining the safe operation of the drainage channel. The long deposited fan is divided into multiple short channels, and each channel bodies are relatively independent, thereby avoiding a situation in which one short channel bursts and the entire channel is consequently destroyed.
Compared with the prior method, this invention has the beneficial effect that the characteristics of debris flow movement in the drainage channel are fully used and that based on regulating the moving flow velocity of a debris flow, the channel type of the main channel is reasonably selected. To construct a drainage channel on a debris flow-deposited fan with a length of over 300 meters, the long drainage channel is divided into multiple short drainage channels, and a transition zone for regulating the flow velocity of a debris flow is arranged between the sides of the channel to efficiently drain the debris flow downstream, thus preventing the severe erosion and deposition of the debris flow in the drainage channel, providing the maximum guarantee for protected objects on both sides of the drainage channel, and reducing the costs of engineering operating and maintenance.
