The geologically dangerous sections formed by geologic agent can be distinguished into three kinds, such as neotectonically dangerous section, subsidence - dangerous section, and reactivation-dangerous section. Percolation sections of embankment foundation, earthquake damage sections, and weak stability sections of embankment foundation are of a part of geologically dangerous sections. According to the geological features of the lower Yellow River, three Geologically dangerous sections can be identified, such as Dongbatou, Daliutun-Dongkou, and Lunali-Shilipu sections. Some countermeasures are suggested in this paper.

End constraint has an influence on distribution of stress in rock specimen, failure pattern and pattern of shear zone. FLAC-3D is adopted to simulate the influence of end constraint on patterns of shear bands, velocity and displacement fields. For a stiffer constraint, a conjugate shear zone occured in central part of the specimen; Otherwise, an inclined shear zone initiated on the end of the specimen. The inclination angle of shear zone becomes steeper with increasing rigidity of platen. Four small blocks have properties of integral movement. The displacement gradient along the margin shear zone is larger. It shows that the blocks slide alone shear zone is of shear failure nature. The result of numerical simulation is consistent with some experimental results. End constraint has an influence on distribution of stress in rock specimen, failure pattern and pattern of shear zone.

The engineering site is far apart from city by spatial scale but the engineering site provides environmental behaviors of approximate common character. Its attributive analysis may be applied to the entire engineering geologic environment faced by urban construction. In this sense, engineering site is a microunit of the entire urban macro engineering geologic environment. The combination of many microunits constitutes the macro overall of environment. Hence, the three attributes of engineering site - property, suitability, stability, may be used as bases of analytic methods in the analyses of urban engineering geologic environment. Spreading engineering site analysis to urban engineering geologic environment analysis will be helpful to guarantee to quantitative level of urban engineering geologic environment analysis.

Adopting the definition suggested by the United Nations, debris flow risk is used to measure the expected losses (losses of lives, person injured, property damage, and economic activity disrupted) due debris flows for a specified area and during a reference period. Under the mathematical proposition of Risk is the product of hazard and vulnerability given by the United Nations, the present paper has obtained an approximate quantitative solution for empirically assessing debris flow risk. Site-specific debris flow risk assessment model is a multiple factor composite assessment model including seven factors, and site-specific debris flow vulnerability assessment model is a nonlinear complex function model including seven indexes, so site-specific debris flow risk assessment model is practically a synthetic model comprising of 14 variables. This paper has also discussed the classes of debris flow risk and their probability distribution. Among the five classes, from the statistical viewpoint, the very low risk class occurs with a probability of 16.88%; the low risk class occurs with a probability of 28.44%; the moderate risk class occurs with a probability of 27.46%; the high risk class occurs with a probability of 19.78%; the very high risk class occurs with a probability of 7.44%. A case study in Heishan gully of Yinmin copper mine of Dongchuan in Yunnan province has been used to demonstrate the procedures of the method for site-specific debris flow risk assessment.

In engineering geological practice, the evidence to identify a fault as an active one is the latest time at which the fault ruptured the surface or subsurface if no other data are available. So drafting of the time criterion in a region is a key work with had better be based on both scientific and engineering safety consideration. The time criterion depends on our understanding to some extent on the periodical and repeatable features of tectonic movements. There occurred a widespread tectonic movement in late Pleistocene (about 30 thousand years B.P.) in China. The tectonic deformation have entered a new stage since then. This fact is the scientific basis for determining the time criterion. Therefore, the time criterion determined on the basis of it means that fautl activated or reactivated in the past 30 thousand years could be identified as engineering active ones in continent of China.

The causes affecting on the installation depth of hydraulically preformed pile and the distribution regularities of bearing capacity, taking one power plant in Henan Province as a case, are studied from in-situ tests results in this paper. The study result indicates that the installation depth of the pile and its bearing capacity are affected by the property of foundation soil. In the case study, though the depth of pile is smaller than that designed, the bearing capacity is enough to meet the need of construction.

This paper presents a case study on an exceptional event of TBM blocking in a section of the Connection Works No.7 tunnel of Yellow River Diversion Project in China. By analysis of lithology, fold, rock mass strength and geo-stress, it indicates that a high rate deformation with respect to inter-layer shear zone in the lower part of the anticlinal core is a dominant factor resulting in TBM blocking. Also the previously encountered unfavorable conditions in forms of wet clay, groundwater inflow, and cavities are coincident with tensile stress in lower part of the syncline. The syncline and anticline make the fold. Based on these diagnoses, economical and quick curing measurements such as enlargement excavation outside of the shield leaving free space to unlock the TBM were adopted. After 9 days blocking, the TBM was totally released and undertaken normal excavation again. Unlike those frequently encountered and discussed unfavorable geological conditions such as jointed, fractured rock mass and faulted zone, this instance mostly highlights a lesson learnt from folding and inter-layer shear zone in TBM tunneling.

Using R-wave dispersion phase velocity we can reverse S-wave velocity group of geologic strata. The R-wave method has effective applicability for engineering site because of its characteristics. In detection of the existing foundation Wangjing~Hepingli Railroad, combining the CDP method of multi-trace reflection technology and R-wave spectral analysis technique, we obtain 2-D S-wave velocity profile. According to the coherence between S-wave velocitiy and the value of light dynamic penetration test, we can evaluate the railroad foundation in vertical and horizontal direction.

On the base of existing methods for computing the cable s prestressing force in design of anti-slide pile with prestressed cable, we consider the change of horizontal sliding force that acts on the anti-slide pile and suggest a method for computing the prestressing force. In the method, the cable, anti-slide pile, and the rock-soil surrounding the pile below the slip surface are regarded as a whole and the prestressing force should be calculated according to the long-time load, while the effect of the short-time load should be considered in the bearing capacity design of the cable and pile. The computation results show that the method leads the anti-slide pile and the cable to be at an advantageous internal force condition and hence to improve the structure s safety.
