Contrast Experiments on Breaching Characteristics of Landslide Dams and Debris-flow Dams

Abstract: The difference in soil properties determines the different breaching characteristics exhibited by landslide dams (LD) and debris-flow dams (DFD). In this study, two types of soil were prepared by controlling the initial water content and the mixing time of the soil to construct the LD and DFD. Based on observations of breach in dams with six different grain size distributions: 1) the erosion resistance within the soil leads to a slower failure speed for DFD under the same grain size distribution and particle density. However, both types of dams exhibit a non-uniform downcutting process in the longitudinal direction, induced by uneven velocities. 2) Laterally, DFD are characterized by the creep slide of the breach bank, distinct from the intermittent slide observed in LD. 3) For the range of conditions tested, the peak discharge of LD significantly exceeds that of DFD. Additionally, the flood curve of LD exhibits a bimodal characteristic, attributed to the slide of the bank slope and the non-uniform distribution of particles within the dam. Finally, a prediction formula for the downcutting coefficient of the breach was established and validated by past studies. This study provides a basis for predicting outburst floods of LD and DFD.

Dynamic correlation between surface carbon response and underlying emissions from spontaneous combustion goaf: field study of an abandoned coal mine

Abandoned coal mine goaf is affected by air leakages and prone to spontaneous combustion, resulting in environmental pollution and geological disasters. Haizhou Open-pit Mine adopts both underground and open-pit mining methods. During the long-term mining process, the original stable stratum structure is constantly destroyed, and the slope slides, increasing cracks and severe air leakage around the goaf and roadway. The spontaneous combustion of coal is particularly prominent after the mine shut down. At present, there is no suitable indirect monitoring method to effectively explore the spontaneous combustion area in goaf. The study developed an all-weather monitoring plan and conducted multi-point continuous long-term measurements of the spontaneous combustion state in one abandoned coal mine goaf located in the eastern part of the Haizhou Open-pit Mine. We evaluated the dynamic correlation between surface CO2 flux (SCF) and changes in the underground fire areas, determined the scope and evolution trend of the fire areas, and identified the distribution and change laws of SCF. The results show a significant positive correlation between SCF and soil temperature; moreover, the SCF value was found to reflect the CO2 emission intensity of the goaf. The high SCF in the test area showed month-wise expansion and increase, while the CO2 emission gradually increased monthly, and the calculated annual total emission was approximately 7017 t. Hence, the study can further provide guidance for the monitoring of spontaneous combustion in shallow coal seams, goaf and the assessment of CO2 emissions from underground coal fires through the on-site monitoring and analysis results.

Research on the Application of Dynamic Process Correlation Based on Radar Data in Mine Slope Sliding Early Warning.

With the gradual expansion of mining scale in open-pit coal mines, slope safety problems are increasingly diversified and complicated. In order to reduce the potential loss caused by slope sliding and reduce the major threat to the safety of life and property of residents in the mining area, this study selected two mining areas in Xinjiang as cases and focused on the relationship between phase noise and deformation. The study predicts the specific time point of slope sliding by analyzing the dynamic history correlation tangent angle between the two. Firstly, the time series data of the micro-variation monitoring radar are used to obtain the small deformation of the study area by differential InSAR (D-InSAR), and the phase noise is extracted from the radar echo in the sequence data. Then, the volume of the deformation body is calculated by analyzing the small deformation at each time point, and the standard deviation of the phase noise is calculated accordingly. Finally, the sliding time of the deformation body is predicted by combining the tangent angle of the ratio of the volume of the deformation body to the standard deviation of the phase noise. The results show that the maximum deformation rates of the deformation bodies in the studied mining areas reach 10.1 mm/h and 6.65 mm/h, respectively, and the maximum deformation volumes are 2,619,521.74 mm3 and 2,503,794.206 mm3, respectively. The predicted landslide time is earlier than the actual landslide time, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method. This prediction method can effectively identify the upcoming sliding events and the characteristics of the slope, provide more accurate and reliable prediction results for the slope monitoring staff, and significantly improve the efficiency of slope monitoring and early warning.

Study of hydrothermal characteristics of large‐scale water conveyance trunk canals in seasonally frozen ground regions under the influence of different initial water contents

AbstractIn seasonal frozen soil, freezing and thawing can change the physical and mechanical properties and affect slope stability. There are complex moisture conditions in the main water transfer canal. A study of the hydrothermal evolution of canals with different initial water contents under the action of freezing and thawing is of great importance for the prevention and control of canal slope slides. Hydrothermal coupling models are the key to revealing the canal's hydrothermal evolution. As some of the modeling parameters in the current hydrothermal coupling model are based on empirical values, particularly those in the van Genuchten equation, which are not necessarily related to soil properties, they are not suitable for analyzing the hydrothermal evolution of canals. This paper determines the soil‐water characteristic curve from the cumulative curve of particle gradation in the subsoil, and then determines the hydraulic parameters of the subsoil using the VG model, which then corrects the hydrothermal coupling model. The method of modifying the hydrothermal coupling model is original, which makes the model more realistically reflect drainage soil characteristics. During freezing and thawing of channel slopes with different initial water contents (21%, 25%, 29%, 33%, 37%, and 41%), temperature field, water field, and ice content distributions were investigated. Using the V‐G model, the optimal parameters for canal subsoil were a = 0.06, n = 1.2, and m = 0.17, and temperature distribution trends between canals with different water contents were basically similar. Water will accumulate at the bottom as the liquid water content increases at the canal boundary.

Reconstruction of Natural Slope Stability by Limit Equilibrium Methods and Finite Element Methods

Slope stability analysis is particularly important for natural slopes that are relatively undesigned to be technically safe. Natural slopes are prone to collapse depending on the condition of the slope material and rainfall. A comprehensive stability analysis using numerical methods to calculate the factor of safety and probability of collapse can be used as a reference to assess the safety of a slope. This study discusses boundary equilibrium and finite element in the analysis of slope safety factor and landslide probability by reconstructing the slope with landslide history. The reconstruction of the slope is based on the actual slope condition with saturated material due to rain that has a safety factor of 0.5 using mathematical methods which are then analyzed numerically in this study. The results of the factor of safety on the saturated condition slope have a value that is not much different from the actual condition with a 100% probability of landslide. The results of low shear strength values in each slice of the limit equilibrium analysis for saturated conditions also indicate that the slope is in an unsafe condition which is supported by the development of shear and tensile strains in the finite element method analysis in the slope slide plane area which causes the stress distribution in the actual landslide area to be unstable.

Lithology, Geochemistry of the Middle Devonian Sediments and the Influence of Volcanism on Sedimentation in the Southeast of West Siberia

Abstract —Dataset on the Middle Devonian volcanic-carbonate–terrigenous sediments of Salair and the Kuznetsk trough, submerged northward under the Mesozoic–Cenozoic West Siberian geosyneclise (WSG) cover, have been presented. Mainly deep water sediments composed of thin- and fine-grained clastic material (with predominance of tephroids) and thin-, fine-clastic biodetrital limestones with slope slide breccia, as well as turbidites and peculiar “conglomerate-like” limestones (paleoseismites) were found. Sedimentary and geodynamic environments have been reconstructed for the Middle Devonian strata. Predominantly andesitic composition of pyroclastic ashes with fewer values of felsic and basic volcanic components have been determined. The structures related to the continental margin environments of the Siberian continent, the continental slope and its basement have been found. According to sedimentary and geochemical data, the paleogeodynamic environment within the studied region was relatively stable and generally corresponded to the island arc conditions. The paleoclimate of the source area changed from semi-humid in the late Emsian–early Eifelian (Malaya Salairka age) to aridic in the middle Givetian (Kerlegesh age). Basin sediments formed in the deep water oxic environments with good water aeration, excepting euxinic environments found in the lowermost part of studied succession.

Numerical Simulation of Oil Spills in the Lower Amazonas River

In 2013, a slope slide took place at the Santana-AP channel that links to the Lower Amazon River’s North Channel, resulting in the sudden collapse of a substantial section of the Port of Santana and its infrastructure. This area houses liquid bulk terminals and pipelines with high pollution potential. The objective of the research is to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of an eventual oil spill in the very short term using a numerical hydrodynamic simulation model coupled with that of pollutant dispersion. The SisBaHiA® software, experimentally calibrated using acoustic methods (ADCP), was used to generate hypothetical scenarios in these areas with a substantial risk of landslides. Two hydrological scenarios stand out in the simulations: (a) November S-1 (dry) and (b) May S-2 (rainy). In S-1, the plume dispersion was higher during flood tides S-1a and S-1b, reaching 4 h urban slope areas, river mouths, tributaries (Matapi and Vila Nova), and environmental protection areas. At S-2, the plume spread was greater during the ebb tides S-2c and S-2d, affecting Macapá’s water supply system 12 h after the accident. The scenarios suggest the existence of high risks associated with the study hypotheses. The dispersion of the plume is directly proportional to the flow, indicating that local hydrodynamics is probably the most relevant dispersive factor. We conclude that the mitigation time for more severe effects is critical in the first 4 h because the coastal geographic feature tends to keep the plume in the Santana channel.

Traffic interruption risk induced by cut-slope failure: The rainfall effect

Shallow landslides in road cut-slopes cause traffic disruptions, especially during rainy seasons. Even when the cut slopes are planned for saturation conditions, the variability and uncertainty of the explanatory variables of slope stability combined with pore pressure variation due to rainfall determine the need to probabilistic model the slope stability, considering the effects of rainfall intensity and duration. It is also necessary to know the magnitude of road platform blockage induced by slope failure, which is especially important for rural roads. This paper proposes a method for evaluating the probability of cut-slope landslides and traffic interruption. For this purpose, first-order reliability analysis and a Monte Carlo simulation were used to analyze various slope and rainfall scenarios. The analysis found 24 failure probability curves that were obtained for slope inclination, rainfall intensity, and rainfall duration. Probability values were obtained to achieve “low”, “moderate”, and “extensive” damage states in terms of roadway blocked due to slope slides and the relationship between roadway blocking width to slope height.

Slope Stability Analysis for a Large Hydropower Station in China

Hydropower plants (including the switching station) built in the middle and southern section of the north–south zone of China are always situated in complex geological settings of transition zones from strong to weak earthquakes with active faults. It is of great importance to carry out careful evaluation of the slope stability considering various loading scenarios to ensure safe operation of the power stations. By using the rigid body limit equilibrium method and the finite element method, the effects of long-term load and seismic load on slope stability for a large hydropower station were studied. The results show that the slope safety factors of the station meet the stability requirements when the slope is under long-term load and under the action of the Wenchuan and Lushan earthquake loads. The stability of the slope is guaranteed. However, the risk analysis of the slope stability under the action of the design earthquake load shows that the slope safety factor is less than the accidental working condition safety factor of 1.05. Under the action of a strong earthquake, the crumbling block gravel soil layer in the shallow natural slope slides and destabilizes, which is obviously beyond its protection capacity, and therefore, effective seismic defense measures should be developed to ensure the safety of the personnel and equipment operating in the power station and switching station.

Effect of grain dissolution on sloping ground

The static and dynamic stability of natural or constructed slopes can be affected by dissolution or dissolution-like phenomena. Their underlying mechanisms, however, remain unclear. New experimental results and discrete element simulations provide particle-level and macroscale information on the consequences of mineral dissolution on slope behavior. At the microscale, load-carrying grain arches develop around dissolving particles, the porosity increases, and contact force chains evolve to form a honeycomb topology. At the macroscale, while vertical settlements are the prevailing deformation pattern, lateral granular movements that create mass wasting are prominent in sloping ground, even under the quasi-static granular loss. Horizontal grain displacement is maximum at the surface and decreases linearly with the distance from the slope surface to become zero at the bottom boundaries, much like vertical granular displacement along the depth. Sediments with smaller friction angles and steeper slopes experience greater displacement, both vertically and horizontally. Slopes become flatter after dissolution, with the reduction in slope angle directly related to the loss in ground elevation, ΔH/Ho. Yet, because of the porous fabric that results from dissolution, vertical shortening is less than the upper bound, estimated from the loss in the solid mass fraction, ΔH/Ho≈SF. Under water-saturated conditions, the post-dissolution fabric may lead to sudden undrained shear and slope slide.

Analysis of the Influence of Slope Sliding on the Stability of Underground Diaphragm Wall Bridge Foundation Based on Wireless Sensor Network

Real-time monitoring, condition assessment, early warning processing, and damage identification of underground diaphragm wall bridge structures are the current research trends. Based on the wireless sensor network theory, this paper constructs the stability model of the slope sliding on the underground diaphragm wall bridge foundation. The model builds a complete set of underground diaphragm wall bridge vibration signal acquisition and monitoring platform through wireless sensor network node data acquisition and solves the problem of data accuracy measurement by using theoretical analysis, software and hardware design, software simulation, and experimental verification methods. During the simulation process, experiments were designed such as slope sliding vibration signal acquisition data accuracy test, sensor node wireless charging power test and modeling, lithium battery charging power test and modeling, wireless rechargeable sensor node system work test, and other experiments. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the collected vibration signals of the underground diaphragm wall bridge is high, the main working frequency bands are 868 MHz, 915 MHz, and 2.4 GHz, the maximum data transmission rate is 250 Kbps, and the communication distance reaches 100 m, which can meet the requirements of the underground diaphragm wall. The power of wireless charging of lithium batteries reaches 4.5 mW, which effectively improves the stability measurement accuracy of underground diaphragm wall bridge foundations.

Breaching and liquefaction in subaqueous retrogressive flow slides

Although retrogressive flow slides in subaqueous sandy slopes can be very large and cause substantial damage, the failure mechanisms of such slides are not very clear yet. This study analyses two well-monitored flow slides in a shoal margin in the Western Scheldt estuary in the Netherlands: a natural flow slide that eroded 300 m into the edge of the shoal and an artificially induced flow slide that was triggered by dredging and eroded only 30 m of the shoal margin. Both slides were simulated with a newly developed numerical model that describes the physics of slow retrogressive breaching and the much faster retrogression of statically liquefied fine to medium (silty) sands. The simulations show that the differences in trigger and size can be explained by assuming that in the larger slide both retrogressive breaching and static liquefaction took place, while in the smaller one only breaching occurred. The main contribution of retrogressive liquefaction to the larger slide was the generation of a temporary high-erosive density flow that proved sufficient to create such a high, near-vertical slope that the breaching process could continue over a long period and distance. It is therefore likely that both breaching and static liquefaction play a role in large natural flow slides.

Experimental Investigation on Failure Modes and Progressive Failure Process of Earthen Check Dam Triggered by Upstream Flow

The progressive failure of earthen check dams triggered by upstream flow is common in loess gullies on the Loess Plateau of China. However, studies on the formation mechanism of progressive failure are still unclear. To investigate the failure modes and progressive failure process of earthen check dams, a physical model test on an earthen dam influenced by upstream flow was conducted by monitoring and analyzing hydrologic and mechanical parameters, including water content, pore water pressure, soil stress, and displacement. The test results indicate that the progressive failure process of earthen dams is induced by seepage water discharged on the downstream slope, including slope slide and overtopping. Continuous seepage results in the occurrence of creep at the toe, gradually driving the deformation and sliding of the dam slope. The progressive failure begins in the downstream slopes, and this study focuses on analyzing the initiation mechanism of slope slide. The slope failure presents retrogressive sliding, including four repeated slip failures, and each sliding presents a long-time progressive process. This physical model test reproduces the entire life cycle of earthen check dams and reveals the traction sliding mechanism of dams, which is consistent with field observation. The aforementioned results provide an important reference for understanding the failure mechanism of earthen check dams triggered by upstream flow.

Intensified paraglacial slope failures due to accelerating downwasting of a temperate glacier in Mt. Gongga, southeastern Tibetan Plateau

Abstract. Topographic development via paraglacial slope failure (PSF) represents a complex interplay between geological structure, climate, and glacial denudation. Southeastern Tibet has experienced amongst the highest rates of ice mass loss in High Mountain Asia in recent decades, but few studies have focused on the implications of this mass loss on the stability of paraglacial slopes. We used repeat satellite- and unpiloted aerial vehicle (UAV)-derived imagery between 1990 and 2020 as the basis for mapping PSFs from slopes adjacent to Hailuogou Glacier (HLG), a 5 km long monsoon temperate valley glacier in the Mt. Gongga region. We observed recent lowering of the glacier tongue surface at rates of up to 0.88 m a−1 in the period 2000 to 2016, whilst overall paraglacial bare ground area (PBGA) on glacier-adjacent slopes increased from 0.31 ± 0.27 km2 in 1990 to 1.38 ± 0.06 km2 in 2020. Decadal PBGA expansion rates were ∼ 0.01 km2 a−1, 0.02 km2 a−1, and 0.08 km2 in the periods 1990–2000, 2000–2011, and 2011–2020 respectively, indicating an increasing rate of expansion of PBGA. Three types of PSFs, including rockfalls, sediment-mantled slope slides, and headward gully erosion, were mapped, with a total area of 0.75 ± 0.03 km2 in 2020. South-facing valley slopes (true left of the glacier) exhibited more destabilization (56 % of the total PSF area) than north-facing (true right) valley slopes (44 % of the total PSF area). Deformation of sediment-mantled moraine slopes (mean 1.65–2.63 ± 0.04 cm d−1) and an increase in erosion activity in ice-marginal tributary valleys caused by a drop in local base level (gully headward erosion rates are 0.76–3.39 cm d−1) have occurred in tandem with recent glacier downwasting. We also observe deformation of glacier ice, possibly driven by destabilization of lateral moraine, as has been reported in other deglaciating mountain glacier catchments. The formation, evolution, and future trajectory of PSFs at HLG (as well as other monsoon-dominated deglaciating mountain areas) are related to glacial history, including recent rapid downwasting leading to the exposure of steep, unstable bedrock and moraine slopes, and climatic conditions that promote slope instability, such as very high seasonal precipitation and seasonal temperature fluctuations that are conducive to freeze–thaw and ice segregation processes.

Project is something with constrains can affect the time or duration of the work, slope slides and building redesigns that have an impact on delays in project implementation. Delays that occur can result in the presence of less work and work items that cause work to experience delays and increase the total cost of implementing the project or it can be said that the project suffers a loss. In this case, good time and coast management needs, can be solved properly. This challenge of a project is main to achieve the goals project within the constraints which generally the scope, schedule and budget of the project.

The result of this research the rescheduling is 440 days with the total RAB after rescheduling is Rp. 41,286,988,000,-, equal to the total cost before rescheduling, because of the work added and less and carried out a balanced budget.

Rock Slope Stability Evaluation on The Construction of New Road Shortcut 4 Border City of Singaraja – Mangwitani, Bali

Shortcut 4 new national road development project on Singaraja - Mangwitani section Bali found a potential rock slide slope problem. An outcrop of igneous rock with an intensive joint was not expected to be encountered previously. The excavation work in road construction had to pay attention to the stability of the resulting rock slope considering that apart from the potential for slope failure, rock slope could also threaten the bridge abutment building in front of it. The location of the rock slope was on the edge of Lake Bratan which is geologically part of the early Holocene volcanic rocks, namely mountain rocks composed of tuff, lava and volcanic breccia. Anisotropic andesite slope was controlled by a discontinuous plane with a certain pattern. Rock Quality Assessment was carried out by the Rock Mass Rating (RMR) method and Slope Mass Rating (SMR) for slope stability evaluation. The planar, tople and wedge potensial slope failure were evaluated. The potential for planar slope failure has a value of SMR 30.18 (Unstable), 57.6 (Partialy Stable) for wedge slope failure potential and 47.6 (Partialy Stable) for tople slope failure potential. The SMR value indicated that the rock slope requires engineering threatment to become stable.

Experimental study on response law and failure process of slopes in fully weathered granites under precipitation infiltration

To investigate the response law and failure process of slopes in fully weathered granites under precipitation infiltration, a typical fully weathered granite slope is selected for sampling in South China. The physical simulation experimental study of rainfall-induced landslide is conducted, in which Weber criterion is used as the similarity criterion for precipitation. The research results reveal that under precipitation infiltration, the fully weathered granite slope responds quickly. Further, the water content increases sharply, and the matrix suction quickly dissipates. After dissipation, the matrix suction transforms into pore water pressure, which accelerates the deformation of the slope. The wet peak has a large infiltration depth in the slope, and the acceleration of the deep part is lower than that of the shallow part. Under the action of precipitation, the fully weathered granite model undergoes four stages of failure. Firstly, gullies and cracks appear; secondly, cracks propagate and link up; then, the soil on the slope surface swells and ruptures; and finally, the slope slides locally until the entire slope creeps, collapses, and transforms into a “soil flow”. It shows that the landslide will be triggered in fully weathered granite slope by precipitation when the precipitation intensity comes up to 155 mm/d, and the landslide occurs at an accumulated precipitation of 304 mm based on the analysis of precipitation similarity. Overall, the results can provide a reliable theoretical basis and abundant experimental data for the prevention, monitoring, and forecasting of geological disasters in granitic areas.

Feasibility Study of an Active Sensing Approach to Detect Soil Slope Interlayer Slide Using Piezoceramic Buzzers

For soil slope, interlayer slide along the soil-rock interface is the precursor and cause of large-scale landslide disasters. Deep stability status in the slope body is crucial and has always been highly valued in geotechnical engineering. Real-time monitoring of soil-rock interface and early warning of landslide disaster is of great importance for landslide disaster prevention, mitigation and relief. In order to explore the evolution process of the soil-rock interface from stability to slippage, a physical model test at conventional gravitational acceleration condition was performed in laboratory. In this study, an innovative active sensing approach based on four piezoceramic buzzers that attached on an aluminum bar was proposed to detect the soil slope interlayer slide. Among the four buzzers, one was employed as an actuator to generate stress wave, while other three were acted as sensors to receive the propagated signals. The installation of transducers, fabrication of the slope model and monitoring system were presented in detail. During the test, a horizontal thrust was applied on the trailing edge of the slope model using a hydraulic jack. The interlayer slide behavior was then carefully monitored by the propagated stress waves. It was found that the measured stress waves in both time and frequency domain had a negative correlation with the slope sliding distance. It can be attributed to that the interlayer slide attenuates wave energy and then decreases the signal intensity. Additionally, a wavelet packet analysis was employed to develop a slope slide index to evaluate the soil-rock interlayer slide. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method is novel yet effective for soil slope interlayer slide monitoring.

Numerical study on hydrodynamic load and vibration of pipeline exerted by submarine debris flow

Submarine debris flow, as one of the natural phenomena of marine disasters, often occurs in different sea areas, which has a strong impact on marine structure due to its large specific gravity and high velocity. Submarine pipeline is an important submarine structure which is extremely vulnerable to the marine environment, especially under the submarine debris flow. Many studies have been conducted on the interaction between the debris flow and the pipeline. Based on previous studies, the effects of the debris flows under the water-air interface on the pipeline with degree of freedom are investigated in this study where the debris flow volume, density, slide slope angle, the spring stiffness coefficient, pipeline location and tandem pipeline are considered. According to the computational fluid dynamics theory, a numerical tank is established using the Immersed Boundary (IB) method, in which the three-phase media (air, water and debris flow) are embedded. The results demonstrate that when the debris flow occurs, the water-air free surface is affected by the debris flow propagation, generating a surface wave. When the debris flow passes through the pipeline, with the increase of debris flow density and volume, the force on the pipeline increases, but the vibration frequency of pipeline decreases. Meanwhile, the vibrating pipeline will cause strong turbulence to the debris flow. In addition, the force and the vibration frequency of the pipeline are closely related to the flow pattern of debris flow reaching the pipeline. When the debris flow passes through the tandem pipeline, the closer the distance between the two pipelines is, the more significant the mutual influence between two pipelines is, because the negative pressure area formed behind the upstream pipeline can affect the downstream pipeline to a certain extent.

Innovative Method for Ship Navigation Safety Risk Response in Landslide-Induced Wave

When the bank of a reservoir slope slides along a weak structural plane at a high speed, “landslide slamming” will occur in the nearby water. The formation of landslide-induced waves is a serious threat to the safety of wharfs, shore marks, buildings in the water, and vessels navigating in reservoir areas. To ensure the safety of navigating ships, this study proposes a landslide-induced wave water ship navigation safety risk response technology. The propagation characteristics of landslide-induced waves are analysed based on a physical model experiment, and the characteristics of a ship's motion response and mooring cable tensions are studied under conditions of bow and stern mooring and multipoint mooring. The influences of the landslide-induced wave direction and ship navigation position on the ship rolling motion characteristics are discussed. The results of this study can further improve the navigation safety of ships in landslide-induced wave waters.
