Abstract

Abstract:

The operation of Hami-Lop Nor Railway is of great significance to the development of resources along the railway. However， it has suffered from sand hazards since its work. In this study， in order to provide useful references for the scientific control of the sand hazards of along the railway， the grain size characteristic parameters of sediment from along the railway and sand-prevention system were analyzed. The results showed that：（1） The sediment composition along the railway was mainly medium and fine sand. For the shrub sand， the sorting was medium to very poor， the skewness was mainly near symmetry， and the kurtosis was medium to very narrow. The sorting of the sediment from gobi area was poor， with pole-positive skewness predominating and very narrow kurtosis. （2） The grain size frequency curve of shrub sand presented the distribution with a single peak. However， the grain size frequency curve of the gobi area presented the distribution with bimodal or triple peaks. The vertical distribution of the particle size of the gobi sediment in the Hami Basin was characterized by coarse upper and finer bottom. （3） The main reason for the formation of sand hazards along the railway was local sand entrainment， and the sediment in the sand-prevention system has become the secondary source of sand hazards to the railway.
