Purpose

This study solves the key problem that the static level monitoring is susceptible to temperature interference and affects the accuracy in slope instability/deformation monitoring. The purpose is to develop a reliable temperature compensation method for the system, improve the accuracy of slope stability monitoring and provide support for improving the safety and safety monitoring of engineering spoil slope and other projects.

Design/methodology/approach

Combined with theoretical analysis and experimental verification, the temperature compensation method is explored. The working principle of the hydrostatic leveling monitoring system is analyzed and the data processing formula, the temperature error calculation formula and the calculation formula for eliminating the error settlement value are derived. The temperature compensation method is established and verified by the field test of the engineering spoil slope which is disturbed by a debris flow.

Findings

The experimental results show that this method can reduce the error of the static level monitoring system by about 40 %. The field test shows that the fluctuation of slope settlement monitoring value is reduced after temperature compensation and the monitoring value is consistent with the actual situation, which has certain practicability.

Originality/value

The originality of this study is to derive a theoretical formula for quantifying/eliminating temperature errors in staticleveling and toestablish a practical temperature compensation method. The accuracy of the system is improved, which provides a reference for slope stability monitoring under complex environment (especially railway geotechnical engineering) and promotes the development of precision monitoring technology.

Purpose

This study is dedicated to systematically collating the distribution and utilization circumstances of geothermal resources in China. Moreover, it endeavors to formulate a comprehensive utilization scheme for geothermal resources during the construction and operation phases of the railway, thereby furnishing robust support and valuable reference for the holistic utilization of geothermal resources along the railway corridor.

Design/methodology/approach

Through an in-depth analysis of the extant utilization of geothermal resources in China, it is discerned that the current utilization modalities are relatively rudimentary, bereft of rational planning and characterized by a low utilization rate. Concurrently, by integrating the practical requisites of railway construction and operation and conducting theoretical dissections, a comprehensive utilization plan for the construction and operation periods of railway is proffered.

Findings

In light of the railway’s construction and operation characteristics, geothermal utilization models are categorized. During construction, comprehensive modalities include tunnel illumination power generation, construction area heating, tunnel antifreeze using shallow geothermal energy, tunnel pavement antifreeze and construction concrete maintenance. During operation, they comprise operation tunnel antifreeze, railway roadbed antifreeze, railway switch snow melting and deicing, geothermal power station establishment and railway hot spring health tourism planning.

Originality/value

According to the characteristics and actual needs of railway construction and operation, it is of great significance to rationally utilize geothermal resources to promote the construction and operation of green railways.
