On 1 September 2022, a giant loess landslide occurred in Huzhu Tu Autonomous County, Qinghai Province, China. This catastrophic event brought to light a unique loess fluidisation phenomenon. In specific parts of the landslide, the loess completely transformed into a viscous, fluid-like state, whereas other parts showed a deep-seated slide that retained their structural integrity. In this case, loess with different sliding patterns exhibited varying levels of mobility and destructive potential. Based on the field investigation, electrical resistivity tomography was employed to investigate the groundwater condition of the slope. Subsequently, ring-shear tests were carried out to examine the mechanical properties of the sliding zone loess under different saturation degrees and its response to rainfall as a triggering factor. The results indicate that the natural water content in the original slope was unevenly distributed, influenced by local terrain and groundwater runoff. Following the initial slide caused by cumulative rainfall, the overlying sliding material with high degree of saturation was likely to fluidise due to the increase in excess porewater pressure caused by continued shearing, ultimately resulting in flow-like movement features. In contrast, in areas with a deeper groundwater table, the initial shear could only be sustained over a short distance. This study reveals a mechanism of multiple movement patterns that may coexist in giant loess landslides.
2022年9月1日,中国青海省虎渚土族自治县发生巨大的黄土滑坡。这一灾难性事件揭示了一种独特的黄土流化现象。在滑坡的特定部分,黄土完全变成了粘性的、流体状的状态,而其他部分则显示出深层滑动,保留了其结构的完整性。在这种情况下,不同滑动模式的黄土表现出不同程度的流动性和破坏潜力。在现场调查的基础上,采用电阻率层析成像技术对边坡的地下水状况进行了调查。通过环剪试验,研究了不同饱和度下滑带黄土的力学特性及其对降雨的响应。结果表明,受当地地形和地下水径流的影响,原坡面天然含水量分布不均匀。在累积降雨引起的初始滑动之后,上覆的高饱和度滑动物质可能由于持续剪切引起的超孔隙水压力的增加而流化,最终形成流状运动特征。相比之下,在地下水位较深的地区,初始剪切只能持续很短的距离。本研究揭示了巨型黄土滑坡多种运动模式共存的机理。

An analytical model is derived for predicting the flow field and stability of an unsaturated infinite slope subjected to steady infiltration. The proposed model is novel because it accounts for the hydraulic anisotropy of unsaturated soil. The governing equation for steady-state seepage in an infinite slope is established in terms of matric suction under a constant surface flux boundary condition. On the basis of the available experimental findings on the hydraulic anisotropy behavior of unsaturated soils, the relative hydraulic conductivity for a soil under unsaturated conditions with respect to the soil at saturation is postulated to be a direction-independent scalar. This postulation simplifies the governing equation to a form that is directly solvable via the relative hydraulic conductivity and the saturated hydraulic conductivity tensor. To enable sophisticated applications, an exponential law and a power law that are well established in the unsaturated soil literature are used to relate the relative hydraulic conductivity to the matric suction and the effective degree of saturation, respectively. Closed-form solutions are derived for the matric suction, the flow net (potential function and stream function), and the effective degree of saturation. Analytical solutions are also derived for the soil unit weight and overburden stress. These solutions are incorporated into the unsaturated infinite slope stability formula constructed on a suction stress-based effective stress failure criterion. Hydraulic anisotropy has been shown to directly affect the flow field and the change in matric suction, which, in turn, drastically affects the slope safety factor against shallow landslides. This finding demonstrates that neglecting hydraulic anisotropy can cause a considerable overestimation of the safety factor, resulting in an unsafe slope stability prediction. The proposed model is useful for preliminary evaluation of the long-term stability of unsaturated slopes during wet periods and the antecedent slope conditions for shallow landslide initiation under transient infiltration.
推导了非饱和无限边坡稳定入渗作用下的流场和稳定性的解析模型。该模型考虑了非饱和土的水力各向异性,具有创新性。在一定的表面通量边界条件下,建立了基于吸力的无限边坡稳态渗流控制方程。在现有非饱和土水力各向异性试验结果的基础上,假定非饱和土相对于饱和土的相对水力导电性是一个方向无关的标量。该假设将控制方程简化为可通过相对水力导率和饱和水力导率张量直接求解的形式。为了实现复杂的应用,在非饱和土文献中建立的指数律和幂律分别用于将相对水力导电性与基质吸力和有效饱和度联系起来。导出了基质吸力、流网(势函数和流函数)和有效饱和度的闭式解。导出了土体单位重和覆盖层应力的解析解。将这些解纳入基于吸力应力的有效应力破坏准则的非饱和无限边坡稳定公式。水力各向异性直接影响流场和基质吸力的变化,进而极大地影响边坡抗浅层滑坡的安全系数。这一发现表明,忽略水力各向异性会导致对安全系数的过高估计,从而导致边坡稳定性预测不安全。该模型可用于初步评价湿润期非饱和边坡的长期稳定性和瞬态入渗诱发浅层滑坡的前坡条件。

Large boulders entrained by debris flow can generate destructive impact force and cause significant damage to a rigid barrier located downstream. Baffle arrays can be installed in front of the rigid barrier to reduce the potential damage from large boulders by dissipating flow energy with filtering boulders from the debris flows. In this study, to investigate the effect of baffle arrays on the flow behavior and the dynamic impact force of debris flows acting on the terminal barrier, small-scale flume experiments were performed with various baffle configurations. After the experiments, the dynamic flow behavior with boulders, impact forces, and travel distances of boulders, were analyzed with transverse blockage ratios and numbers of baffle rows. As a result, entrained boulders in debris flows significantly increased impact force about six times. With the installations of baffle arrays, however, peak impact force decreased by an average of 70 % and by up to 94 %. In addition, increasing the number of rows of baffles from one to two led to an average reduction of 50 % in impact force for each transverse blockage ratio. However, in the case of one row of baffles, the impact force reduction for high s/δ values proved to be less effective compared to the other baffle configurations. Finally, the results of this study can provide appropriate ranges for the baffle spacing and the number of baffle rows in the baffle design to estimate the load attenuation due to boulder filtration.
被泥石流夹带的大块巨石会产生破坏性的冲击力,对位于下游的刚性屏障造成重大破坏。在刚性屏障前安装折流板阵列,通过过滤泥石流中的巨石来耗散水流能量,从而降低巨石的潜在危害。为了研究折流板阵列对流动特性的影响以及泥石流对末端屏障的动态冲击力,本研究采用不同折流板配置进行了小规模水槽试验。实验结束后,以横向堵塞比和挡板数为参数,分析了岩石的动态流动特性、冲击力和岩石的移动距离。结果,泥石流中夹带的巨石显著增加了冲击力约6倍。然而,随着挡板阵列的安装,峰值冲击力平均下降了70%,最高可达94%。此外,将挡板的排数从一排增加到两排,导致每个横向堵塞比的冲击力平均降低50%。然而,在单排挡板的情况下,高s/δ值挡板的减震力效果不如其他挡板。最后,本文的研究结果可以为设计中挡板间距和挡板排数提供合适的范围,以估计由于巨石过滤引起的载荷衰减。

Increasing the soil erosion resistance is one of the core issues in slope erosion control and ecological environmental restoration of open-pit coal mine (OPCM) dumps. In this study, fly ash (FA) and polyacrylamide (PAM) were used to improve the soil quality of an OPCM dump, and an indoor physical model was constructed to investigate the water and soil loss characteristics of the improved soil via simulated rainfall experiments. Scanning electron microscopy and Pore and Crack Analysis System software were employed to systematically investigate the erosion resistance mechanisms of the improved soil qualitatively and quantitatively. Finally, the improved technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was adopted to evaluate the reclamation potential of the improved soil. The results revealed that under the action of PAM (PAM and PAM–FA), the average erosion rate of the slope decreased by more than 90 %. Compared with that in the control group, when FA was applied alone, the slope erosion rate first decreased and then increased with increasing FA content. Upon PAM addition, the erosion pattern changed from the splash erosion stage, cave erosion stage, gully erosion stage, and tensile slip stage to the splash erosion stage and cave erosion stage. However, no obvious change in the runoff pattern. Erosion and runoff patterns are generally affected by the amendment type, addition concentration, porosity, pore shape, pore direction and hydrological environment. The erosion resistance mechanism of the improved soil entailed the formation of more stable soil aggregates via filling, cementation, skeleton support generation, and flocculation of FA and PAM. In addition, the optimal soil improvement was achieved when FA and PAM were added at levels of 16 % and 0.01 %, respectively. The obtained research results could be used for erosion control and ecological environmental protection of coarse-grained soil slopes in mining areas, highways and other fields and could be widely applied.
提高土壤抗侵蚀能力是露天煤矿排土场坡面侵蚀治理和生态环境修复的核心问题之一。本研究采用粉煤灰(FA)和聚丙烯酰胺(PAM)对某OPCM排土场土壤进行改良,并建立室内物理模型,通过模拟降雨试验研究改良后土壤的水土流失特征。采用扫描电镜和孔裂分析系统软件对改良土的抗侵蚀机理进行了定性和定量的系统研究。最后,采用改进的TOPSIS法(order preference by similarity to a ideal solution)评价改良土壤的复垦潜力。结果表明,在PAM (PAM和PAM - fa)的作用下,坡面平均侵蚀速率降低90%以上。与对照组相比,单独施用FA时,随着FA含量的增加,坡面侵蚀率先降低后升高。添加PAM后,侵蚀模式由溅蚀阶段、洞蚀阶段、沟蚀阶段、张滑阶段转变为溅蚀阶段和洞蚀阶段。径流格局变化不明显。侵蚀和径流模式一般受修正类型、添加浓度、孔隙度、孔隙形状、孔隙方向和水文环境的影响。改良土壤的抗侵蚀机制是通过FA和PAM的填充、胶结、骨架支撑和絮凝作用形成更稳定的土壤团聚体。此外,FA和PAM添加量分别为16%和0.01%时,土壤改良效果最佳。所获得的研究成果可用于矿区、高速公路等领域粗粒土边坡的侵蚀治理和生态环境保护,具有广泛的应用前景。

For decades, solutions to regional-scale landslide prediction have primarily relied on data-driven models, which, by definition, are disconnected from the physics of the failure mechanism. The success and spread of such tools came from the ability to exploit proxy variables rather than explicit geotechnical ones, as the latter are prohibitive to acquire over broad landscapes. Our work implements a Physics Informed Neural Network (PINN) approach, thereby adding an intermediate constraint to a standard data-driven architecture to solve for the permanent deformation typical of Newmark slope stability methods. This translates into a neural network tasked with explicitly retrieving geotechnical parameters from common proxy variables and then minimizing a loss function with respect to the available coseismic landslide inventory. The results are promising because our model not only produces excellent predictive performance in the form of standard susceptibility output but, in the process, also generates maps of the expected geotechnical properties at a regional scale. Therefore, Such architecture is framed to tackle coseismic landslide prediction, which, if confirmed in other studies, could open up PINN-based near-real-time predictions.
几十年来,区域滑坡预测的解决方案主要依赖于数据驱动的模型,从定义上讲,这些模型与破坏机制的物理特性是脱节的。这些工具的成功和推广来自于利用代理变量的能力,而不是明确的岩土技术变量,因为后者难以在广阔的景观中获得。我们的工作实现了物理信息神经网络(PINN)方法,从而在标准数据驱动架构中添加了一个中间约束,以解决Newmark边坡稳定方法中典型的永久变形。这转化为一个神经网络,其任务是明确地从常见代理变量中检索岩土参数,然后根据可用的同震滑坡库存最小化损失函数。结果是有希望的,因为我们的模型不仅以标准敏感性输出的形式产生了出色的预测性能,而且在此过程中,还生成了区域尺度上预期的岩土力学特性图。因此,这样的架构是用来解决同震滑坡预测的,如果在其他研究中得到证实,可以开辟基于pup的近实时预测。

Earthquakes can initiate slow-moving landslides and cause them to transition into rapid failures. Although observations are limited, the literature suggests that strong earthquakes are more likely to trigger nearby failures, while smaller earthquakes may increase susceptibility. However, understanding the role of seismic disturbances requires considering other environmental conditions. This study focuses on the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake, using a data-driven multivariate approach to analyze slow-moving landslides. Our findings highlight topographic relief, road proximity, river distance, average monthly precipitation, lithology, and distance to the earthquake surface rupture as key factors. While the distance to the surface rupture is inversely related to landslide occurrence, it is the least influential variable, suggesting that most slow-moving landslides near the rupture may not have failed during the earthquake. Our finding also suggests that persistent disturbances from road networks may be as significant as the impact of a strong earthquake in influencing the existence of slow-moving landslides.
地震可以引发缓慢移动的山体滑坡,并导致它们转变为快速的崩溃。尽管观测有限,但文献表明,强烈地震更有可能引发附近的破坏,而较小的地震可能会增加易感性。然而,了解地震扰动的作用需要考虑其他环境条件。本研究以2008年汶川7.9级地震为研究对象,采用数据驱动的多变量方法分析缓慢移动的山体滑坡。我们的研究结果强调地形起伏、道路邻近程度、河流距离、平均月降水量、岩性和到地震地表破裂的距离是关键因素。虽然距离地表破裂的距离与滑坡的发生呈负相关,但它是影响最小的变量,这表明靠近破裂的大多数缓慢移动的滑坡可能在地震期间没有失败。我们的发现还表明,在影响缓慢移动的山体滑坡的存在方面,道路网络的持续干扰可能与强烈地震的影响一样重要。

This study employs seismic refraction tomography (SRT) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) to assess subsurface geological conditions along the proposed Porsgrunn Highway in Norway. The primary objective is to analyze SRT and ERT tomograms to identify subsurface geological structures. However, interpreting tomograms is often limited by smoothed boundaries and reduced resolution. To address these challenges, we apply k-means clustering, a machine learning technique that groups data based on similarities in physical properties, to post-process the geophysical tomograms. This study pioneers the use of k-means clustering to interpret tomograms from SRT and ERT data in complex geological settings. We first evaluate the effectiveness of clustering techniques using numerical modeling for two geological scenarios: a horizontally layered case and a layered case with undulation and a fault structure. Utilizing automated methods (Elbow and Silhouette), we objectively determine the optimal number of clusters for each geophysical tomogram. Subsequently, we compare the performance of the k-means clustering algorithm with subjective expert interpretations and the Laplacian edge detection method.

本研究采用地震折射层析成像(SRT)和电阻率层析成像(ERT)来评估挪威Porsgrunn高速公路沿线的地下地质条件。主要目的是分析SRT和ERT层析成像,以识别地下地质构造。然而,解释层析图常常受到边界平滑和分辨率降低的限制。为了解决这些挑战,我们应用k-means聚类,这是一种基于物理性质相似性对数据进行分组的机器学习技术,对地球物理层析图进行后处理。这项研究率先使用k-均值聚类来解释复杂地质环境中SRT和ERT数据的层析图。我们首先利用数值模拟方法评估了两种地质情况下聚类技术的有效性:水平层状情况和具有波动和断层结构的层状情况。利用自动化方法(Elbow和Silhouette),我们客观地确定了每个地球物理层析图的最佳簇数。随后,我们比较了k-means聚类算法与主观专家解释和拉普拉斯边缘检测方法的性能。井眼数据验证了聚类结果,并证实了最优聚类选择技术的有效性。本研究结果表明,k-means聚类通过建立更清晰的边界和最小化噪声干扰,显著增强了地质构造的探测能力,从而更准确地圈定断裂带。与传统的边缘检测和主观解释方法相比,k-means聚类提供了一种系统和客观的方法,提高了不同地质环境下的一致性和可靠性。此外,它将地球物理数据自动分类为有意义的簇,可以对大型数据集进行有效分析。该研究强调了将机器学习技术与地球物理方法(如SRT和ERT)相结合的价值,以提高可解释性并准确识别地下地质结构,特别是在断裂带识别中。

A very large percentage of the Italian municipalities is exposed to landslides, floods, and/or coastal erosion, according to the 2021 edition of the Report on hydrogeological instability in Italy. Even the south-eastern area of the country, the Apulia Region, is affected by different geo-hydrological hazards, with a concentration of landslides in the north-western portion, named the Daunia Apennine sector. Such a significant exposure to landslide hazard imposes the need of defining reliable quantitative methodologies to assess landslide susceptibility at both the slope scale and urban scale, so that appropriate land planning policies, as well as effective prevention and mitigation measures, can be implemented according to a more rational approach. The main purpose of this study is to propose a physically-based methodology, at the urban area scale, aimed at assessing landslide susceptibility, for both shallow and deep instability processes affecting almost all the urban areas in the Daunia Apennines. The proposed methodology has been applied to the municipality of Carlantino (FG) as a test case study, using the available geological and geomorphological maps as well as the soil physical and mechanical data. A three-dimensional geotechnical model, 2.5 km2 wide, including the Carlantino urban area and the slopes surrounding the town, was created. Later on, a three-dimensional limit equilibrium analysis, taking into account the equilibrium conditions both in the slip and the transverse directions, was performed to obtain a mechanically-based map of safety factors at the urban area scale. The results of this study, obtained for three different scenarios related to the assumed depth of the groundwater table, allowed the identification of the areas more susceptible to landsliding, i.e. characterised by lower safety factor values. The proposed 3D approach represents a significant advancement with respect to the traditional 2D stability calculation methods in terms of accuracy of the representative geometrical and geological model, which is assumed to fit more effectively the complexity of the actual slope conditions. Moreover, the methodology can have significant practical applications, since the corresponding results provide a prompt overview of the slope stability conditions of an overall urban area and can be directly used for urban planning as well as risk management activities. Based on a comparison against geomorphological evidence and remote sensing data, this approach has proven to be a valuable tool to support landslide susceptibility assessments, to be promptly used for land planning policies, and is supposed to be exportable to other geological environments.
根据2021年版的《意大利水文地质不稳定报告》,意大利有很大一部分城市面临山体滑坡、洪水和/或海岸侵蚀。即使是该国东南部的阿普利亚地区也受到不同地质水文灾害的影响,西北部地区的山体滑坡集中在多尼亚亚平宁地区。面对如此严重的滑坡灾害,需要确定可靠的定量方法,以评估边坡规模和城市规模上的滑坡易感性,以便能够根据更合理的方法执行适当的土地规划政策以及有效的预防和缓解措施。本研究的主要目的是在城市地区范围内提出一种基于物理的方法,旨在评估影响道尼亚亚平宁几乎所有城市地区的浅层和深层不稳定过程的滑坡易感性。所提出的方法已应用于卡兰蒂诺市(FG)作为测试案例研究,使用可用的地质和地形图以及土壤物理和机械数据。创建了一个2.5平方公里宽的三维岩土模型,包括卡兰蒂诺市区和城镇周围的斜坡。然后,进行三维极限平衡分析,同时考虑滑移和横向的平衡条件,得到基于力学的城市区域尺度安全系数图。这项研究的结果是针对与假定的地下水位深度有关的三种不同情况得出的,可以确定更容易发生滑坡的地区,即安全系数值较低的地区。与传统的二维稳定性计算方法相比,所提出的三维方法在代表性几何和地质模型的精度方面取得了重大进步,该方法被认为能够更有效地拟合实际边坡条件的复杂性。此外,该方法具有重要的实际应用价值,因为相应的结果可以快速概述整个城市地区的边坡稳定状况,并可直接用于城市规划和风险管理活动。根据与地貌证据和遥感数据的比较,这种方法已被证明是支持滑坡易感性评估的宝贵工具,可迅速用于土地规划政策,并应可输出到其他地质环境。

The floor water inrush is one of main threats that restrict safe and efficient mining of coal mine. The non-pillar mining with automatically formed roadway (AFR) is a new mining method above confined water. To explore its distribution characteristics of “floor four zones” in dip direction is of great significance for optimizing water prevention and control engineering. First, technical principle of the AFR was analyzed and its process flow was summarized. Second, based on the theory of mine pressure and elastic mechanics, the AFR floor additional stress theoretical model above confined water was established. Then, the theoretical shape and depth of floor failure zone of the 11,005-working face in Rongkang Coal Mine was drawn by Mathcad, and compared with four empirical formulas of retained coal pillar mining. After that, a two two-dimensional AFR model test system above confined water was developed, which indirectly characterized development characteristics of deep fractures by monitoring lifting phenomenon of confined water, and thus divided the confined water conducting zone. On this basis, a FLAC-PFC3D coupled numerical model above confined water was established to study floor displacement, fracture and water pressure evolution along dip direction. The results of the theoretical model and the model test were verified, and the range of floor damage zone and the complete water-resisting zone was obtained. Finally, the maximum failure depth was verified by using borehole direct current electric method, and the absolute value cloud map of change in apparent resistivity at different magnifications was displayed visually. The research results have filled the gap in AFR theoretical system regarding floor research and provided a reference for prevention and control technology of water inrush in confined water mining areas.

Energy dissipation can macroscopically synthesize the evolutions in the microstructure of the marine clay during cyclic loading. Hence an energy-based method was employed to investigate the failure criterion and cyclic resistance of marine clay. A series of constant-volume cyclic direct simple shear tests was conducted on undisturbed saturated marine clay from the Yangtze Estuary considering the effects of the plasticity index (IP) and cyclic stress ratio (CSR). The results indicated that a threshold CSR (CSRth) exhibiting a power function relationship with IP exists in marine clay, which divides the cyclic response into non-failure and failure states. For failed specimens, the development of energy dissipation per cycle (Wi) with the number of cycles (N) exhibited an inflection point owing to the onset of serious damage to the soil structure. In this regard, the energy-based failure criterion was proposed by considering the inflection point as the failure point. Consequently, a model was proposed to quantify the relationships between failure energy dissipation per cycle (Wf) [or failure accumulative energy dissipation (Waf)], initial vertical effective stress, IP, and the number of cycles to failure (Nf,E). An evaluation model capturing the correlation among CSR, IP, and Nf,E was then established to predict the cyclic resistance, and its applicability was verified. Compared with the strain-based cyclic failure criterion, the energy-based failure criterion provides a more robust and rational approach. Finally, a failure double-amplitude shear strain (γDA,f) evaluation method applicable to marine clay in different seas was presented for use in practical geotechnical engineering.
能量耗散可以宏观地综合海相粘土在循环加载过程中的微观结构演变。为此,采用基于能量的方法研究了海相粘土的破坏准则和循环抗力。考虑塑性指数(IP)和循环应力比(CSR)的影响,对长江口原状饱和海相粘土进行了一系列等体积循环直接单剪试验。结果表明,海洋粘土中存在一个阈值CSR (CSRth),其与IP呈幂函数关系,将循环响应分为非破坏状态和破坏状态。对于破坏试件,每循环能量耗散(Wi)随循环次数(N)的发展出现拐点,这是由于土体结构开始受到严重破坏所致。为此,提出了以拐点为失效点的基于能量的失效准则。因此,我们提出了一个模型来量化每循环破坏能量耗散(Wf)[或破坏累积能量耗散(Waf)]与初始垂直有效应力、IP和破坏循环次数(Nf,E)之间的关系。建立了CSR、IP和Nf、E之间的相关性评价模型,对循环阻力进行预测,并验证了模型的适用性。与基于应变的循环破坏准则相比,基于能量的循环破坏准则具有更强的鲁棒性和合理性。最后,提出了一种适用于不同海域海相粘土破坏双幅剪切应变(γDA,f)评价方法,供实际岩土工程应用。
