Desert railways are constantly exposed to incoming sand blown by the wind. The railway
body acts as an obstacle that perturbs the wind flow and the sand drift, resulting in zones of …

Desert railways are constantly exposed to incoming wind-blown sand. The railway structure
locally disturbs the incoming sand drift, induces its accumulation, and ultimately suffers its …

The construction of desert railways inevitably destructs the environment and aggravates the
wind–sand damage along the line. A reasonable railway route is an effective measure to …

The naturally formed aeolian sand dunes in northern Shaanxi exhibit unique engineering
characteristics. Several challenges, such as the poor self-stabilization ability of the …

The railway subgrades in the sandy areas act as an obstacle interfering wind-blown sand,
causing sand erosion and sedimentation, which can disrupt the safe and stable operation of …

The snow flight in severe cold regions has occurred on many high-speed railway lines in
China, directly impacting the safety of high-speed railway operations. However, the research …

In this study, the characteristics of wind-blown sand in the hinterland of the Tengger Desert
and the regularity of sand deposition in road cutting are studied by combining a field test and …

The acceleration of land desertification has led to an increasingly serious threat to the
operation safety of tunnel entrance in the Gobi and desert regions by wind-sand flow, and it …

During the past years, Urmia Lake has dried extensively. Depot salts created by excessive
salt mining in the lake area have become a source of wind-blown salt. By harvesting salt, the …

Wind-sand flow generates erosion and deposition around obstacles such as bridges and
roadbeds, resulting in sand damage and endangering railway systems in sandy regions …
