Abstract
Mining landslides in southwestern China pose a serious threat to people's property and safety. In order to study the destabilisation and damage mechanism of karst mountains under the combined action of mining and rainfall, based on the landslides in the mountainous area of the Maidi Coal Mine in Guizhou Province, and combining with field investigations, we have analysed the characteristics of the landslides, investigated the stability of the bearing structure of the bedrock of the mountain, the composition of the mineral components, and the microscopic characteristics of the rocks, and simulated the excavation of the coal seams as well as the infiltration of the rainfall. The destabilisation mechanism of the karst mountain under the coupling of mining stress and rainfall infiltration was investigated. The obtained destabilisation and destruction mechanism of karst mountain destabilisation under the coupled action of mining and rainfall lays the foundation for the control of karst landslides.
期刊介绍:
Engineering geology is defined in the statutes of the IAEG as the science devoted to the investigation, study and solution of engineering and environmental problems which may arise as the result of the interaction between geology and the works or activities of man, as well as of the prediction of and development of measures for the prevention or remediation of geological hazards. Engineering geology embraces:
• the applications/implications of the geomorphology, structural geology, and hydrogeological conditions of geological formations;
• the characterisation of the mineralogical, physico-geomechanical, chemical and hydraulic properties of all earth materials involved in construction, resource recovery and environmental change;
• the assessment of the mechanical and hydrological behaviour of soil and rock masses;
• the prediction of changes to the above properties with time;
• the determination of the parameters to be considered in the stability analysis of engineering works and earth masses.
