Calibration of tipping bucket rain gauges in the Graz urban research area   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Vilmos Vasvri 《Atmospheric Research》2005,77(1-4):18

The Institute of Urban Water Management and Landscape Water Engineering of the Graz University of Technology (Austria) operates a hydrological research area in the City of Graz. In this urban research area precipitation and runoff data are collected by order of the municipality of Graz. At present precipitation data are measured by seven tipping bucket rain gauges. Comparative measurements have shown a deviation between the recorded and the actual precipitation intensity. This made the institute calibrate the rain gauges periodically. In the middle of the 1990s, the development of a field calibration kit was started. Based on the experiences with the first field calibration kit, a microprocessor controlled device was developed. With this calibration device, the tipping bucket rain gauges are calibrated at regular intervals. In this paper the calibration process and the current results for seven rain gauges are discussed. The calibration process is dynamic calibration and uses a peristaltic pump. Not all of the tipping buckets investigated underestimate the rain intensity in the whole measuring range. Several rain gauges have a positive relative deviation, not exceeding 22%, in the low intensity range up to 0.5 mm/min. Positive deviation can be explained by retention of water in the buckets between tips. The reason for the negative deviation is the loss of water during the tips. It leads to the underestimate of the actual intensity. The largest relative deviation in the range of underestimate exceeds 30%. In the range of extreme intensities, the larger buckets (5 cm³) show a lower relative deviation than the smaller (2 cm³) buckets. The gauge characteristic can change in favourable or unfavourable directions after several years. Therefore, the calibration of tipping buckets is recommended at least every 2 to 3 years.  相似文献

越来越多的连续墙工程提出了入岩要求,而现阶段广泛使用的连续墙抓斗入岩效率低下,针对这种状况,以抓斗抓取地层的特点为出发点,对其现阶段在岩石地层抓取效率低下的原因进行分析,然后以岩石破碎学为理论支撑,从抓斗自重、油缸闭合力、斗齿布置规格以及抓取方式等方面着手,提出了若干可用于提高抓斗入岩效率的改进建议。  相似文献   

A tipping bucket flowmeter for roadside gully runoff     

G. E. Hollis  J. C. Ovenden 《水文研究》1987,1(4):391-396

A tipping bucket flowmeter designed for the measurement of inflows to roadside gully pots is described. It is braced within the pot above the liquor and the runoff is fed to it via a glass fibre funnel and a hose. Whilst it can be calibrated to only 0·71 s^?1, it is very effective at low flows and has a number of advantages over the well known Institute of Hydrology Gully Meter. Its use at Redbourn, Hertfordshire for roads on highly permeable soils shows that for both rainfall and artificial irrigation the ‘losses’ are very large and highly variable even within a single housing estate road.  相似文献   

粉土中筒型基础贯入阻力的研究     

马文冠  刘润  练继建  郭绍曾 《岩土力学》2019,40(4):1307-1312

筒型基础在海洋工程中应用广泛,贯入阻力的准确计算是筒型基础成功应用的关键。在海洋工程中,粉土是介于砂土与黏土间的特殊土,现有计算方法中将粉土等同于砂土,忽略了黏聚力c对贯入阻力的影响。开展了粉土中筒型基础的现场贯入试验,观测了自重下沉阶段与负压贯入阶段筒型基础贯入阻力与贯入深度的关系,提出了粉土中计算沉贯阻力的方法,并对不同筒端形式的减阻效果进行了深入分析。研究结果表明,采用现有规范方法计算粉土中筒型基础的贯入阻力值较实测值偏小20%,提出的两种方法不仅适用于计算粉土中筒型基础的贯入阻力,而且能够反映负压贯入阶段的减阻效果;尖筒端可使筒端阻力减少50%,减阻环可使筒侧摩阻力减少50%,但减阻环会破坏筒壁周围土体,形成渗流通道,导致负压失效。  相似文献   

考虑冲刷影响的筒型基础竖向极限承载力研究

大直径宽浅式筒型基础,阻水宽度大,在位工作期间受波浪海流作用,其周围土体易被冲刷。为研究单侧地基土体受冲刷后筒型基础的竖向极限承载力变化,通过引进冲刷率的概念,采用有限元方法研究了不同冲刷率下筒型基础的竖向极限承载力;并基于Meyerhof理论建立了计算不同冲刷率下筒型基础竖向极限承载力的极限平衡方法。研究结果表明,随着冲刷率增大,筒型基础的极限承载力出现不同程度的下降,当冲刷率为0.8时,即筒型基础单侧土体冲刷深度达6.4 m时,筒型基础的竖向极限承载力折减率为3.28%。建立的极限平衡算法可准确计算冲刷条件下筒型基础的竖向极限承载力。  相似文献   

Experimental study on wide-shallow composite bucket foundation for offshore wind turbine under cyclic loading     

Xuyue Wang  Hongyan Ding  Yonggang Liu 《Marine Georesources & Geotechnology》2019,37(1):1-13

As an appropriate type of foundation for offshore wind turbines (OWTs), wide-shallow composite bucket foundation (WSCBF) is cost-competitive, and it has a unique and special substructure that comprises seven internal rooms arranged in a honeycomb-like structure. In this study, the cyclic behavior of WSCBF for OWTs embedded in saturated clay was investigated using a large-scale model subjected to lateral cyclic loading. The responses of foundation under constant- and various-amplitude cyclic loadings were recorded in terms of displacements, rotations, and bending moments. The variations in stiffness and damping were obtained, and a collaborative bearing mechanical model between the bucket and soil was considered, which was beneficial for improving the stiffness of the whole structure. Accumulative deformation was found to have little effect on the bearing capacity of the foundation. Dynamic analysis in frequency domain was further performed on both moment and rotation data, and the complex, frequency-dependent impedance was also studied.  相似文献

以解决挑流消能工在泄洪期间为提高消能率而加重下游雾化问题为目标,探究不同体型挑坎的下游雾化特性。通过水力学模型试验,对典型的非对称舌型坎、标准舌型坎、扭面贴坎和连续坎的下游水舌风分布、下游溅水雨强和不同液滴体积分布以及挑流水舌水力特性与冲刷特性进行了研究。研究表明:①各种工况下,非对称舌型坎、标准舌型坎、扭面贴坎的下游水舌风风速均大于连续坎。②对于非对称舌型坎,其溢洪道轴线左侧溅水强度大于右侧,其雨强左右两侧峰值差值最大为5.625 g/(m 2·min);对于扭面贴坎,其溢洪道轴线右侧溅水强度更大,其雨强左右两侧峰值差值最大为45.125 g/(m 2·min)。③随着距离水舌入水点长度增大,大粒径水滴数量和体积占比均剧烈下降;连续坎和舌型坎的挑宽均随着角度的增加而增加;冲坑深度随着角度的减小而增大。④在挑坎合适边墙侧设置扭面贴角能改善下游雾化危害,同时适当增加挑角可以减弱下游冲刷破坏。  相似文献
