Abstract:As an important water conveyance structure, the aqueduct plays a crucial role in the successful implementation of water diversion and irrigation district projects. In the northwest of China, there are significant topographic changes, diverse strat lithology, and complex geological conditions, resulting in many engineering geological difficulties when constructing aqueducts. By collecting the data of the completed aqueducts in Gansu, analyzing and studying the typical engineering geological problems of different aqueducts, and summarizing the targeted investigation methods, this study has certain reference value for water projects construction in future.
