Jian SHI, Hansheng CAI, Hongda GUO
2017, 4(3): 48-52. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2017.03.009
Abstract:
In this paper, the three types of metal (stainless steel, brass and aluminum) are used to study the electrode material effect on the breakdown performance of propylene carbonate under impulse high voltage. The breakdown test shows that the impulse breakdown voltage of propylene carbonate under a pair of parallel-plate electrodes made of stainless steel, brass and aluminum decreases in sequence. To investigate the electrode material effect on breakdown property under impulse voltage, the electric field and space charge distributions in propylene carbonate under the three types of electrodes are measured. The measurement results indicate that the charge injection ability of aluminum electrodes is highest, followed by brass, and then stainless steel electrodes. Accordingly, the electric field distortion rate of propylene carbonate increases in the sequence of stainless steel, brass and aluminum electrodes. This finding illuminates that the difference of electric field distortion rate among the three types of electrodes leads to the difference of breakdown performance in propylene carbonate.

Abstract:
In some areas with dense vegetation and complicated terrain, both DEM and DSM have low result accuracy when acquired by traditional aerial photogrammetry technique, which leads to strong field survey burden in the transmission line. In this paper, we analyzed the strengths of Airborne LiDAR Technology and took optimal design of Ultra-high voltage transmission line in Northwestern Yunnan as an example to illustrate the path optimization applications and their economic efficiency of Airborne LiDAR Technology, such as precisely extract plane and profile mapping, optimize crisscross spanning design and effectively estimate demolition and crop compensation.

2017, 4(3): 107-114. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2017.03.020
Abstract:
Completely decomposed granite (CDG) is subjected to substantial amount of spatial variability. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of spatial variability of the shear strength parameters of CDG on the stability of CDG slopes under intense rainfall infiltration. In the method used in this paper, the pore water pressure is modeled using the wetting font concept. The spatial variability of the strength parameters is modeled based on the random fields. The factor of safety of the slope is computed using the shear strength reduction method. It is found that the presence of spatial variability will change the failure modes of the slope. As the correlation distance reduces, the size of the sliding mass also tends to reduce. The stability of the soil will be more sensitive to the advancing of the wetting front. Ignoring the negative correlation between the cohesion and the friction angle will overestimate underestimate the failure probability of the slope.

Abstract:
Informal Waste Landfills in Certain City are numerous, and some of these are lack of anti-seepage control systems, which may lead to groundwater pollution caused by leachate. Considering conditions of the informal waste landfill in certain district, and the outcomes of investigation, reconnaissance, lab analysis and other related activities, the author investigated environmental geological conditions and the protective capability of stratum towards the waste pollutants, and evaluated the contamination status of the goundwater due to leachate within the first underlayer, and the effect on water quality of groundwater by Comprehensive Pollution Index and Nemerow Pollution Index evaluation methods. The result showed that contamination exsisted at different extent in all the groundwater samples flew through the downstream of the landfill. Moreover, the contamination extent positively correlated to the distance between the landfill and sampling site, that means groundwater contamination closely ties up with the landfill pollution. Accoding to the statistical results of the sample analysis, the highest pollution Index lies in arsenic, almost 24 times of the standard. And the subsequent pollution index lies in potassium permanganate, the highest resuilt reaches 2.4. Groundwater comprehensive pollution index is 5 times of the standard, and the Nemerow pollution index is 17 times of the standard value. Such groundwater contamination caused by the landfill has universality. It is representative, and reflected the groundwater pollution status in part of existed informal landfill in certain district. The pollution of this landfill provided the basis and experience for management and development of groundwater resources in certain district.
