Abstract:
This paper focuses on the construction of anchorages for the Three Gorges Hydro-junction after its shipping capacity expansion.It draws on carrying capacity analysis,traffic volume prediction,planning of ship types passing through the ship locks,and other previous achievements and employs the empirical formula and the queuing theory to analyze and calculate the number of berths required at the anchorages in the upstream and downstream of the hydro-junction.Furthermore,the paper analyzes the capacity demand on the anchorages between the two dams.The anchorages in the upstream of the Three Gorges Dam and the downstream of the Gezhouba Dam need to meet the anchor demand of 96 ships.The upbound and downbound anchorages between the two dams both need to meet the anchor demand of 28 ships.The paper further proposes an anchorage planning and construction scheme according to the current anchorage deployment situation and future navigation traffic organization demand of the Three Gorges Hydro-junction reach.The purpose is to provide a reference for the planning and construction of anchorages for the Three Gorges Hydro-junction after its shipping capacity expansion so that the hydro-junction can better meet the anchor demand of ships and bring into full play its shipping benefits.
