Abstract:In order to study the impact of river-related engineering construction on the flood discharge capacity of upstream river channels during urban development, the HEC-RAS model is used to simulate the hydraulic elements of the river section in an urban area before and after the construction of a reservoir in the lower reaches of the river and before and after the construction of municipal bridges. The variations in hydraulic elements at the bridge cross-section under different return periods are analyzed. The results indicate that after the reservoir construction, the water level and flow velocity at the bridge cross-section within the reservoir area are significantly affected, and the water level in the reservoir area has risen sharply and the flow rate has decreased. However, there is almost no impact on the upstream section of the river at the end of the reservoir area. Compared with the original river channel without the reservoir, the hydraulic elements in the reservoir area become more stable after the reservoir construction, and the changes in water level, flow velocity and water-blocking ratio caused by bridge construction are smaller. The flood impact of coordinated construction of reservoirs and municipal bridges in urban development areas is analyzed. The suggestions for the impact assessment of floods related to rivers in large-scale urban development areas are proposed, which provide a reference for flood control comprehensive evaluations in similar projects.
