Soil-structure interaction (SSI) is commonly encountered in various geohazards such as landslides and debris flows. To understand and mitigate these hazards, it is essential to simulate the interaction between soil and structures with accuracy. However, existing coupled numerical methods often represent structural motion using particle-based models, which limits their ability to precisely capture the dynamic interaction mechanisms between soil and structures. To address this limitation, this study proposes a novel coupled simulation framework that integrates the three-dimensional Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (3D DDA) with the Material Point Method (3D MPM), leveraging the strengths of 3D DDA in modeling structural motion and the capability of MPM in capturing large deformation of geomaterials. First, a contact detection and force computation scheme between MPM particles and DDA blocks is established by incorporating bounding box techniques and a penalty spring model, enabling accurate simulation of soil–structure interaction processes. Subsequently, the proposed coupling method is applied to simulate a series of benchmark scenarios, including soil collapse, soil collapse with embedded blocks, block impact on soil, and soil impact on blocks. The simulation results are validated against experimental data, demonstrating the accuracy and robustness of the proposed approach. Finally, the coupling method is employed to investigate the collapse behavior of buildings subjected to landslide impact, with a particular focus on the influence of landslide height on structural collapse mechanisms. By clarifying the underlying mechanisms, the findings contribute theoretical knowledge that supports efforts to prevent and mitigate landslide-induced hazards.
土-结构相互作用(SSI)是各种地质灾害中常见的问题,如滑坡和泥石流。为了了解和减轻这些危害,必须准确地模拟土壤和结构之间的相互作用。然而,现有的耦合数值方法通常使用基于颗粒的模型来表示结构运动,这限制了它们精确捕捉土与结构之间动态相互作用机制的能力。为了解决这一限制,本研究提出了一种新的耦合模拟框架,该框架将三维不连续变形分析(3D DDA)与材料点法(3D MPM)相结合,利用3D DDA在模拟结构运动方面的优势和MPM在捕获大变形方面的能力。首先,结合边界盒技术和惩罚弹簧模型,建立了MPM颗粒与DDA块体之间的接触检测和力计算方案,实现了土-结构相互作用过程的精确模拟;随后,将提出的耦合方法应用于模拟一系列基准情景,包括土壤崩塌、嵌埋块体土壤崩塌、块体对土壤的冲击、土壤对块体的冲击。仿真结果与实验数据进行了对比,验证了该方法的准确性和鲁棒性。最后,采用耦合方法研究了滑坡冲击下建筑物的倒塌行为,重点研究了滑坡高度对结构倒塌机制的影响。通过阐明潜在的机制,研究结果为预防和减轻滑坡引起的危害提供了理论知识。

Impact of geological conceptualization in predicting pore pressure reduction from urban excavations 地质概念化对预测城市开挖孔隙压力降低的影响

Leakage of groundwater and subsequent pore pressure reduction can cause consolidation in subsidence sensitive soils and subsequently pose damage risks to the built environment. This study presents the first systematic, quantitative evaluation of how geological conceptualization – specifically the inclusion or exclusion of permeable sand lenses within glaciomarine clay deposits - affects simulated pore pressure reduction due to groundwater leakage into deep excavations. By employing Multiple Point Statistics (MPS) to generate alternative geological models and integrating these with MODFLOW-NWT transient groundwater simulations, we reveal that the presence and hydraulic connectivity of sand lenses significantly influence the rate and magnitude of pore pressure reduction in clay, which has significant consequences for settlement magnitudes. These findings underscore the importance of explicitly accounting for geological heterogeneity and uncertainty in risk assessment for urban excavations, a factor often neglected in conventional engineering geology practice when assessing settlement hazards and their consequences for the surrounding areas.
地下水的泄漏和随之产生的孔隙压力降低会导致沉降敏感土壤的固结,从而对建筑环境造成破坏风险。本研究首次系统地、定量地评估了地质概念化(特别是冰川海洋粘土沉积物中可渗透砂透镜体的包含或排除)如何影响由于地下水渗漏到深层挖掘而导致的模拟孔隙压力降低。通过使用多点统计(MPS)生成替代地质模型,并将其与MODFLOW-NWT瞬态地下水模拟相结合,我们发现砂透镜的存在和水力连通性显著影响粘土孔隙压力降低的速率和幅度,从而对沉降幅度产生重大影响。这些发现强调了在城市开挖风险评估中明确考虑地质异质性和不确定性的重要性,这是传统工程地质实践在评估沉降危害及其对周边地区的影响时经常忽略的一个因素。

The 2023 Al-Haouz earthquake (MW 6.8) revealed shortcomings in Morocco's seismic hazard forecasts, evidencing the need for improved data and approaches. This study extends the Neo-Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment (NDSHA) to the use of design magnitude (Mdesign) definition. We validated the approach, through testing the performance of ground shaking maps computed for bedrock site condition with respect to the 2023 Al-Haouz (MW 6.8) and the 2004 Al-Hoceima earthquakes (MW 6.4).
Using three seismicity catalogues (all truncated to 2012), we generated NDSHA ground shaking maps. Magnitudes were incremented, according to the Panza-Rugarli law, by γEMσM = 0.5 (γEM = 2) and 0.7 (γEM = 2.8) respectively, and the predicted peak ground acceleration were compared to recorded data. The results show that the Morocco catalogue with Mdesign increment values could accurately forecast the ground shaking recorded for the 2023 earthquake.
The analysis demonstrates that NDSHA maps integrated by Mdesign may significantly reduce underprediction biases, especially for strong intraplate earthquakes. We conclude that Mdesign is a crucial prerequisite for reliable seismic hazard assessments in regions with sparse seismicity data, thereby enhancing predictive reliability for risk mitigation in Morocco and similar intraplate seismotectonic settings.
2023年Al-Haouz地震(里氏6.8级)暴露了摩洛哥地震灾害预报的不足,证明需要改进数据和方法。本研究将新确定性地震灾害评估(NDSHA)扩展到使用设计震级(Mdesign)定义。通过测试2023年Al-Haouz地震(MW 6.8)和2004年Al-Hoceima地震(MW 6.4)的基岩条件下计算的地面震动图的性能,我们验证了该方法。使用三个地震活动目录(都截断到2012年),我们生成了NDSHA地面震动图。根据Panza-Rugarli定律,分别增加γEMσM = 0.5 (γEM = 2)和0.7 (γEM = 2.8)的震级,并将预测的峰值地加速度与实测数据进行比较。结果表明,具有m设计增量值的摩洛哥目录能够准确预测2023年地震记录的地面震动。分析表明,Mdesign集成的NDSHA地图可以显著减少欠预测偏差,特别是对于强板内地震。我们得出的结论是,Mdesign是在地震活动数据稀少的地区进行可靠地震灾害评估的关键先决条件,从而提高了摩洛哥和类似板内地震构造环境中风险缓解的预测可靠性。

Landslide activity is driven by complex interactions among geo-environmental factors, yet most machine-learning-based landslide susceptibility models primarily rely on topographic variables derived from digital elevation models (DEMs), often neglecting the role of depth-dependent soil profile characteristics. This study addresses this gap and advances landslide predictive capabilities by integrating soil geotechnical and hydrological properties at multiple soil profile depths using a Random Forest (RF) model framework coupled with the Shapely additive explanations (SHAP)-based explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for model interpretability. Demonstrated in the Muthirapuzha River Basin (MRB) of the southern Western Ghats (SWG), India, the study compares both grid unit-based (GUB) and slope unit-based (SUB) mapping approaches. Results suggest that integrating soil properties at multiple depths (10 cm, 110 cm, and 210 cm) significantly improves model accuracy and minimises overestimation compared to a model relying solely on topographic variables. Key predictors included field capacity (FCY), chemical index of alteration (CIA), liquid limit (LLT), and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (Kunsat), alongside topographic factors, such as slope angle and topographic wetness index (TWI). SUB approach outperforms GUB in terms of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and provides a better understanding of landslide depth and volume. SHAP values and waterfall plots are critical in interpreting model predictions and elucidating feature contributions, enhancing their potential for site-specific landslide risk assessments. The consistency of variable importance rankings across mapping units further reinforces the robustness of the selected predictors. This study highlights the critical role of soil profile characteristics in landslide susceptibility modelling and advocates integrating XAI techniques to enable transparent, physically meaningful predictions in mountainous regions.
滑坡活动是由地质环境因素之间复杂的相互作用驱动的,然而大多数基于机器学习的滑坡敏感性模型主要依赖于来自数字高程模型(dem)的地形变量,往往忽略了深度依赖的土壤剖面特征的作用。本研究通过使用随机森林(RF)模型框架以及基于Shapely加性解释(SHAP)的可解释人工智能(XAI)模型可解释性,整合多个土壤剖面深度的土壤岩土和水文特性,解决了这一差距,并提高了滑坡预测能力。该研究在印度西高止山脉(SWG)南部的Muthirapuzha河流域(MRB)进行了验证,比较了基于网格单元(GUB)和基于斜坡单元(SUB)的制图方法。结果表明,与仅依赖地形变量的模型相比,整合多个深度(10 cm、110 cm和210 cm)的土壤特性显著提高了模型精度,并最大限度地减少了高估。主要预测因子包括田间容量(FCY)、蚀变化学指数(CIA)、液限(LLT)和非饱和导电性(Kunsat),以及坡度角和地形湿度指数(TWI)等地形因子。SUB方法在接收方工作特征曲线(AUROC)下的面积方面优于GUB方法,并且可以更好地了解滑坡的深度和体积。SHAP值和瀑布图在解释模型预测和阐明特征贡献方面至关重要,增强了它们对特定地点滑坡风险评估的潜力。跨映射单元的变量重要性排名的一致性进一步加强了所选预测因子的稳健性。本研究强调了土壤剖面特征在滑坡敏感性建模中的关键作用,并提倡整合XAI技术,以实现山区透明、物理上有意义的预测。

Competition between thermoelastic process and mineral reaction on fracture flow channeling: Implications for long-term thermal performance of EGS reservoirs 热弹性过程和矿物反应对裂缝流动通道的竞争:对EGS储层长期热性能的影响

Fracture flow channeling stemming from heterogeneous aperture distribution is a widely observed phenomenon in enhanced geothermal systems (EGSs) and has been considered a main cause of unsatisfying thermal extraction performance. Many numerical studies have been performed to quantify the impact of flow channeling on thermal performance, while the dynamic evolution of flow channeling under complex thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) coupled processes remains underexplored. This study develops a 3D field-scale THMC coupled EGS model with heterogeneous fracture apertures to systematically investigate the individual and joint effects of thermoelastic process and mineral reaction on fracture flow channeling and long-term thermal performance. The results demonstrate that during long-term injection of undersaturated water, the thermoelastic process leads to aperture enlargement in low-temperature zones, intensifying flow channeling, whereas the mineral dissolution preferentially enlarges fracture aperture in high-temperature zones, leading to flow dispersion. These two mechanisms exhibit strong physicochemical feedbacks: the mineral dissolution counteracts thermoelastic-induced flow channeling by enlarging heat exchange zones and homogenizing thermal stress distributions, while the thermoelastic process enhances the effect of mineral dissolution by narrowing heat exchange zones. Parametric analyses further reveal that reservoirs with higher rock elastic modulus and lower fracture stiffness are more susceptible to severe thermoelastic-induced flow channeling, whereas higher injection temperatures, lower injection concentrations, and greater reactive mineral content enhance the mitigating effect of mineral dissolution. These findings suggest that long-term thermal performance of EGSs can be optimized by selecting reservoirs with low elastic modulus, high fracture stiffness, and abundant reactive minerals, combined with high-temperature, undersaturated injection strategies.
在增强型地热系统(EGSs)中,由非均匀孔隙分布引起的裂缝窜流是一种普遍存在的现象,被认为是导致热采效果不理想的主要原因。为了量化流道对热性能的影响,已经进行了许多数值研究,但在复杂的热-水-机械-化学(THMC)耦合过程中,流道的动态演变仍未得到充分探讨。本研究建立了一个具有非均质裂缝孔径的三维现场尺度THMC耦合EGS模型,系统地研究了热弹性过程和矿物反应对裂缝流动通道和长期热性能的单独和联合影响。结果表明:在欠饱和水长期注入过程中,热弹性过程导致低温区裂缝孔径扩大,加剧了渗流,而矿物溶解优先扩大了高温区裂缝孔径,导致流动分散。这两种机制表现出强烈的物理化学反馈:矿物溶解通过扩大热交换区和均匀化热应力分布来抵消热弹性诱导的流动通道,而热弹性过程通过缩小热交换区来增强矿物溶解的作用。参数分析进一步表明,岩石弹性模量较高、裂缝刚度较低的储层更容易发生严重的热弹性诱导流道,而较高的注入温度、较低的注入浓度和较高的活性矿物含量增强了矿物溶解的缓解作用。这些发现表明,通过选择低弹性模量、高裂缝刚度和丰富活性矿物的储层,结合高温、欠饱和注入策略,可以优化EGSs的长期热性能。

Engineering geological classification of gravelly deposits based on enhanced CPT 基于增强CPT的砾石矿床工程地质分类
IF 8.4 1区 工程技术 Q1 ENGINEERING, GEOLOGICAL Pub Date : 2026-03-26 Epub Date: 2026-01-27 DOI: 10.1016/j.enggeo.2026.108588

Gravelly soils extensively developed in Quaternary deposits challenges for engineering geological investigations due to strong heterogeneity, leading to discontinuous profiling, stratigraphic misinterpretation, and greater investigation cost and longer duration. In such cases, conventional cone penetration testing (CPT), although effective in fine-grained soils, is inapplicable to gravelly deposits because of equipment limitations. To overcome the limitations, an enhanced CPT system was proposed and applied to achieve efficient penetration and high-resolution subsurface profiling in coarse deposits. Field investigations were then conducted using this system, and the acquired data, validated against borehole data, were analyzed to develop an engineering classification framework for gravelly soils based on CPT-derived indices. Results show that conventional CPT-based approaches have difficulty distinguishing gravelly soils from fine- or sand-dominated soils, whereas incorporating cone resistance, friction ratio, and their fluctuation characteristics enables clear discrimination. Based on response patterns of CPT, three engineering-relevant gravelly soil can be further classified into three types: gravel-rich, sand-interbedded, and fine-interlayered. This work fills a critical gap in CPT-based investigation of gravelly soils, offering an effective approach that improves the efficiency and accuracy of engineering geological investigation in gravelly strata.
在第四纪沉积物中广泛发育的砾石土,由于其较强的非均质性,给工程地质调查带来了挑战,导致剖面不连续、地层误读、调查成本高、耗时长。在这种情况下,传统的锥体穿透测试(CPT)虽然在细粒土壤中有效,但由于设备的限制,不适用于砾石沉积物。为了克服这些限制,研究人员提出了一种增强型CPT系统,并将其应用于粗糙矿床的高效穿透和高分辨率地下剖面分析。然后使用该系统进行现场调查,并对获取的数据进行分析,以cpt衍生指数为基础,建立砂质土的工程分类框架。结果表明,传统的基于cpt的方法难以区分砂砾质土壤和细砂质土壤,而结合锥体阻力、摩擦比及其波动特征可以明确区分。基于CPT的响应模式,可将3种工程相关砂质土进一步划分为富砾石、砂互层和细夹层3种类型。该工作填补了基于cpt的砂质土工程地质调查的关键空白,为提高砂质地层工程地质调查的效率和准确性提供了有效途径。

This work fills a critical gap in CPT-based investigation of gravelly soils, offering an effective approach that improves the efficiency and accuracy of engineering geological investigation in gravelly strata.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11567,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology","volume":"364 ","pages":"Article 108588"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146048046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
