Protection from windblown sand is one of the key engineering issues for construction and maintenance human infrastructures in arid environments. In last decades, a number barrier-type Sand Mitigation Measures with different shapes have been proposed order to overcome this problem. barriers are often deployed alongside long line-like crossing vast desert regions. It follows that highly optimized preliminary design barrier cross section paramount importance perspective large-scale production,...
Desert railways are constantly exposed to incoming sand blown by the wind. The railway body acts as an obstacle that perturbs wind flow and drift, resulting in zones of sedimentation erosion. insight into local around track patterns is a necessary prerequisite predict prevent sand-induced limit states.The present study generally aims at filling such gap, investigating related potential railways. knowledge acquired about required perspective design innovative on-track Receiver Sand Mitigation...
Desert railways are constantly exposed to incoming wind-blown sand. The railway structure locally disturbs the sand drift, induces its accumulation, and ultimately suffers harmful effects. Receiver Sand Mitigation Measures (SMMs) aerodynamically interact with track system, induce erosion around it, allow transport far downwind it. conceptual preliminary design of an innovative SMM called Blower is developed in this study. grounded on aerodynamic behaviour baseline humped sleeper system. flow...
