Abstract

In the initial operation stage of some ore wharf, the silting situation appears in the wharf apron; through the on-spot hydrological, geological and topographic survey and combination with a lot of previous data and the project implementation, the research is made into the hydrodynamic sediment conditions in the water area and the changes of topographic erosion and siltation. The analysis shows that the siltation is related to many factors, including: the natural siltation effect, the effect of erosion adjustment period, the effect of sand excavation and dredging, and the effect of wharf construction. Among which, the local excavation in the rear of the wharf under construction has a great effect on the siltation of the wharf apron.
