16 The Building of Railway Construction Control Network in the High Altitude Area
NING Li-Ping
Research purposes: In the railway control surveying of the high-altitude areas, the side of control network will have a greater length of the projection length distortion. If the control network is established over the national coordinates in the region, the deformation of the length of the railway construction can not meet the requirements of precision control network, which will have a great effect on the coordinates stakeout of line construction survey and breakthrough measurement. Therefore, a reasonable length of the evaluation and treatment of deformed projection of the results of coordinates, and the establishment of high-altitude areas to control the construction of the railway network has become an important part of engineering control surveying in the area.
Research conclusions: In the high altitude control surveying of the railway construction , distortion of reductions of elevation is mainly in the length deformation. So , it is the best choice to select the level surface with compensation used as plane of projection,and build an independent coordinates system based on the orthomorphic projection 3°bands. The method is simple conversion, furthermore, the result of calculated coordinates is very close to the coordinates in the original coordinate system of national unity. It is helpful for the link between inside and outside of the surveying area. If the line length has a wide span from east to west, and when the center of the surveying area is far from the central meridian, we should consider selecting” any local projective stripes" or other methods.

20 Methods and Technology for Active and Passive Temperature Control of Frozen Soils
WEI Zhi,JIN Hui-jun,ZHANG Jian-ming,WU Jin-kui,YANGSi-zhong,JI Yan-jun
Research purposes: Frozen ground temperature changes will cause complex changes in seepage,temperature and stress fields. Active and passive temperature controls are the basic methods for frozen soils temperature control. But it is difficult to distinguish the active and passive concepts, so it is important to clarify the essential difference between active technology and passive technology for temperature control of frozen soil.
Research conclusions: From the viewpoint of energy, the passive temperature requires no power and no moving mechanical parts during operation, which is the most commonly used technology for frozen soils temperature control. On the contrary, the active temperature control requires power to operate or has moving parts in temperature control system. The most distinct features of the two methods are that whether the freezing process can be controlled and whether need any support to energy consumption. For some calculation of frozen soils temperature control, there are a lot of formulas and charts obtained in long time, which can be used, but if it wants a more precise calculation, it needs simulation with some mature models.

ZHANG Min-qing,HUANG Hong-jian,ZHANG Sheng-xue,WU Jun,LI Xie-huai
Research purposes:Based on the introduction to the water and mud bursting process in the Maluqing Tunnel, pumping and draining water test and constructing water stopping plug in the earth's surface deep hole, and observation of water stopping plug circa opened out by excavation in the course of tunnel construction, this paper analyzes the reason for the failure of stop water plug, discusses the water stopping plug mechanism, and presents the measure for improving the technology for construction of water stopping plug for the purpose of accumulating experience for the similar engineering in future.
Research conclusions: If the most substances in water and mud bursting are mud and sand, it is difficult for pumping water to treat water and mud bursting. In this case, the water stopping plug should be adopted to treat water and mud bursting. Based on the verification of the shearing force, the plug length should be designed according to the characters of water and mud bursting and grouting mechanism. The medium of the water and mud bursting in the Maluqing Tunnel is the cohesive soil and water, so the grouting mechanism should has the hustle-sediment action, the hydrate- concretion action and the float - sediment action in the cement concretion by the effect of the rainfall and the disconnected grouting. Therefore,the length of the water stopping plug must be of 10-20 times of the hole diameter.

Research purposes: Investigating the effect of Wuhan Yangzte River tunnel construction on buried pipelines is very important to ensure the construction safety. 3-D FEM is applied to model the deformational coupling effect for the north side shaft diaphragm, surrounding soil and buried pipelines. Construction effect on pipe deformation is analyzed in terms of excavation steps, pipe material, buried depth, distance to pit, pipe diameter and wall thickness of pipe.
Research conclusions: Take the north side shaft construction of Wuhan Yangzte River tunnel for example, this paper analyzes the construction effect in terms of excavation steps, pipe material, buried depth, distance to pit, pipe diameter and wall thickness of pipe. The result indicates that the pipeline displacement increases as excavation depth. The magnitude of the displacement is mainly determined by the first two excavation stages. The first two excavation stages should be strictly monitored; for the sake of diaphragm wall, end-effect exists on the pipeline. End-effect becomes distinct as close to the pit. And the displacement mode is changed for the sake of end-effect; outer diameter and thickness of pipeline has no distinct effect on pipeline displacement; multiple types of pipelines have no distinct effect on each other when they exist together.
