Abstract:Research purposes:The existing geological condition and land form of the permafrost area along Qinghai-Tibet Railway have gradually formed in a long-term geologic history period with features of relative high average temperature, thin frozen soil and poor heat stability in some parts of the permafrost area. The stability of the frozen soil directly relates to the stability and durability of the superstructure of the railway track. Researching the way for knowing the influence of the environment change of frozen soil on the superstructure of track can make the development trend of the frozen soil understood under the condition of climate change. It can provide the basis for taking the preventive measures for Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
Research conclusions:(1) From the monitored data in recent years, it can be seen that the long-term monitoring system for Qinghai-Tibet Railway has worked well. The monitored data are true and reliable. They can be as the basis for evaluation of the stability of engineering structure in permafrost area along Qinghai-Tibet Railway. (2) The long-term monitoring system has continuously monitored the subgrade in permafrost area for many years and found out the environment characteristics and settlement mechanism of the subgrade in permafrost area when the subgrade occurred big settlement and deformation. Based on them, the strengthened measures will be presented to better maintain the subgrade, improve the water thermal condition for the subgrade system, relax the drop of manual upper limit and slow down the settlement rate of the subgrade. (3) From the analysis of the monitored data on the bridge and the cross-section of culvert in permafrost area, it is believed the foundations of the bridges and culverts are entirely stable.
