Recently, the center of coal mining is transferring from the east to the midwest in China. But in these regions, with the arid and semi-arid climate and fragile ecological environment, the mining is going to have a significant impact on the quite limited water resources. From the development of the preceding years, this problem has led to a seriously restriction on the coal production. Taking Shennan mining area in Northern Shaanxi for an example, the paper discusses the scientific problem of water preserved mining.In the analysis, the paper introduces water system to the above scientific problem and this system integrates the whole water resources in the range of the mining area. For the water system,before mining, the input is rainfall and output is the discharge of the surface run-off. All of the factors in this system keep in balance with a certain detained capacity within the mining area containing surface water, and water in sandy layer and burned rock. In comparison, after mining, the inputs will contain invariable rainfall and bedrock fissure water and at the same time, the output will decrease because of the leakage of the surface water under the influence of the mining. The above analysis obtains a conclusion-mining is going to increase the capacity of the retained water resources in the mining area and this increasing capacity is good for water preserved mining.

The point load test was used for the tensile strength measurement of coal samples. Integrity coefficient of the coal was calculated based on the wave velocity tests of coal seam in situ and coal samples. Finally, the tensile strength of coal seam was calculated by the transformation relationship between point load strength and tensile strength according to the quasi coal strength theory. The results show the integrity coefficient of coal is 0.47 and the tensile strength is 0.08MPa. The research results can provide scientific basis for underground engineering application of coal tensile strength index.

Mine geo-environment risk decision making is a consultation process to meet multiple objects from multi-stakeholder. In order to control mine risk in the mine life cycles, the decision making was employed to approach three objects which were meeting acceptable risk, getting the most benefit from control engineering and making reasonable plan for mine closure. Then, the hierarchical analysis was applied to multiple criteria decision making in risk management of mine geo-environment. Lastly, the consultation process was used to determine the engineering proposal that control the geo-environment risk of a limestone mine in Fengshan, Guangxi. The process considered some information from multi-stakeholder including design organization, government and local people. It indicates that the optimal engineering proposal has four parts, i.e. P1 with cutting slope, clearing up unstable rock and anchoring; P2 with drainage, rockfall platform and monitoring; P3 with smoothing slope surface, carving and vegetation; P4 with risk education. It is not only a guidance to rebuilt environment of the limestone mine, but also has positive affect to develop mine closure.

The Shanghaimiao mine is located in the southwest part of the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region, and in the northwestern edge of the Erdos basin, which is one of the most important energy coal mine bases in China. The coal mine in this area is characterized by the large burial depth and complicated exploitation conditions. The laboratory tests were carried out to investigate the permeability, swelling, collapse and softening coefficients by utilizing the core samples attained during the geotechnical investigation drilling. The test results show that the permeability and softening properties of coarse sandstone, fine sandstone, siltstone, silty mudstone tend to decrease. The collapse coefficient of coarse sandstone is clearly lower, and that of fine sandstone is slighter higher than others',but those of three sets of silty mudstone are rather scattered. The free swelling coefficients of medium coarse sandstone, fine sandstone and siltstone tend to decline respectively, but those of three sets of silty mudstone are rather scattered too. The mineral ingredients of rock samples include quartz, potash feldspar, plagioclase and clay minerals, but the content of clay minerals are not stable. By comparing the test results, the hydraulic properties seem to not be irrelevant to the mineral contents, which still needs further research. These research findings are of great significance to the latter coal exploitation.

Quaternary loose strata which is formed with young age and large thickness provides the physical basis for land subsidence in the Yellow River Delta. The effects of tectonic movement, sediment consolidation and sea level rise on land subsidence have been long. In recent decades, the large-scale human activities of increasing exploitation of groundwater and oil and gas, high-rise building construction, etc, are becoming new triggers. The superimposition of various inducing factors have resulted in complication of spatial-temporal differentiation and formation mechanism. Based on leveling and relevant background data, this paper analyzes the characterization of land subsidence in Guangrao County and Dongying District where human activities are concentrated. After the comprehensive comparison of various human and natural subsidence factors, the annual subsidence contribution rate of groundwater overexploitation, large engineering construction, oil and gas exploitation, neotectonic movement, natural consolidation of sediment and sea level rise are approximately 28:4:2:3:2:1. Human activities have played a leading role on land subsidence.

The distribution of groundwater has a great influence on the stability of the reservoir slope. Taking Shuping landslide for example, Visual Modflow software was adopted in numerical simulation calculation on seepage field under different conditions. The conclusions are as follows:the groundwater level changes with the reservoir water level fluctuations; the water level is less affected on the trailing edge of the landslide, while it's changed significantly on the middle and the front edge; in the process of reservoir water level falling, the relationship between the time and water level in the landslide shows the following characteristics:stable water level, falling down fast, slowly falling and stable water level. And the different falling speed only affects the water level change rate, while having not effect on the final water level; with the increase of reservoir water drop speed, the greater the landslide leading edge of the underground water level changes, the greater the hydraulic gradient becomes, and the hydraulic gradient becomes largest on the both side of the border of the landslide. And the paper also provides a reference for landslide groundwater seepage field changes and its stability analysis in Three Gorges Reservoir.

Soil-caves collapse in karst area is a common geological hazard, which make some disaster accidents. However, the critical condition of forming soil-cave is seldom researched now. Based on the theories of pipe flow, this paper derives the formulas of the critical hydraulic condition for assessing soil-caves. The cohesive soils from Wuxuan county, Guangxi province, China, are chosen to be tested to obtain the critical value by a designed test method. Combining the critical value and the monitoring hydraulic data, the results show the current hydraulic condition will not form soil-caves.

Compared with general civil engineering investigation, highway engineering geological investigation has its own significant feature-longer line, more engineering geological units, more construction sites, more survey methods. To ensure the survey quality, we have to control the whole line geological condition. Meanwhile, we also have to regard conditions such as high and steep slope, special span bridge and so on. However, geological investigation marketization is developing without general standard, which affects the investigation quality and development. Based on highway project and investigation report, this article points out that geological survey and engineering design are not relevant enough as the highway project needs, which affects the investigation and design result most. Because owners and design companies always suppress design fee, which prevents the investigation engineers to accomplish their inspiration, then limits the design level. More importantly, it may lead engineering accidents. In order to cater to the market, companies have to pay more attention on contract amount than investigation quality, which is another negative factor that will prevent the benign development of investigation industry.

The region of western China belongs to the north-east edge of Tibet Plateau. Due to the periods of tectonic movements and extrusion of current Tibet Plateau in the direction of NW-NNW,the region characterizes by intense horizontal squeezing, which generally shows a high-stress value. With the development of railway construction, it becomes more and more universal for deep-burial tunnel built in the west of China. As results of this stress condition, the problems induced by excavation of tunnel are exclusive, such as a constantly compressional deformation in lamellar soft rock. And they are chanlleging the tradational methods we uesd to deal with them. Thus, it is necessary for us to figure out current stress status of project area as well as to choose the appropriate axes of tunnel and take full advantage of self-bearing capacity of surrounding rock. In addition, a scientific support design is absolutely necessary. The hydrofracture stress measurement, which can be simply operated and measure deeply, is one of the most effective methods for in-situ stress measurement. We summarize a kind of high geo-stress evaluation derived from Hoek-Brown formula and Byerlee laws. It can appropriately evaluate whether the project zone of tunnel belongs to high geo-stress area by utilizing the result of in-situ stress test and quality of surrounding rock. By means of that, we can assure the construction of tunnel project safe and stabile.

Dongla landslide is resurrected in Shuiluo town of Muli city. The causes of the historical experience are ancient landslide, old landslide, resurrecting landslide. Severe deformation of the landslide was since 2011, and tension cracks spread over the landslide, then generate incremental deformation sliding scale destruction. Through deformation characteristics survey and using monitor tools, slip surface is located 18.5~19.5m of the soil. The resurrection of the mechanism of landslides in the mechanical model is the slip-crack destruction. Adverse geological environment, landslide debris and loose rock and soil structure are the base of the landslide geological deformation; impact of human activities are the main factors that may influence the development of potential landslides. The landslide is currently in the stage of creep deformation severe deformation damage, and there is a trend development step by step. Landslide is likely to decline sharply in rainfall, which will destray roads and power plants and the Dongla bridge. The Shuiluo river will be blocked, bring much more damage.

The excavation of subway will take strongly influence on its surrounding soil, and the safety of surrounding buildings will be threatened while the settlement gets too large. Therefore, the study of the influence of excavation on surrounding environment is of great significance for subway construction. Besides the strata structure, the excavation sequence and excavation footage are two important factors that will change the surrounding environment. In this paper, based on the special soil rock composite geological situation of Changchun area, a numerical simulation for subway construction was performed by using FLAC3D finite differente software, including different excavation sequence and footage during the construction of metro station using PBA method. Through comparison of different schemes, the optimal scheme is determined for this project. These results are also useful for providing a basis for similar projects construction in the future.

Seismic faults cause a great damage to tunnels in the seismic zone during earthquakes. Therefore, how to reduce seismic damage to tunnels has become a hot issue. Based on a large number of studies of the relationship between magnitude and fault rupture parameters, faults displacement, the empirical correlation between magnitude and fault rupture parameters, surface displacement of Donald L.Wells was further verified using the rupture parameters of 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake. The results showe that empirical validation of values obtained from the relationship between magnitude with surface rupture length, underground rupture, width and the average displacement, are closed to the actual fracture parameters of the Wenchuan earthquake, and indicate that these relationships can be used to estimate rupture parameters of earthquake and provide the best reference to tunnels passing potential faults of earthquake zone in the design and safety evaluation.

The combination of bridge and slope is usually used to pass through high slopes and valleys in the construction of transportation infrastructure projects, such as highway and railway engineering. And on this occasion, as the factors, such as excavation unloading, rainfall and bridge deck loads, can easily give rise to the destruction of the slope, it cannot be too necessary to pay close attention to the health condition of the slope. In this paper, aiming at high slope-bridge combination engineering under the action of excavation, supporting and bridge deck loads, we chose one typical high slope in the Yunfu-Luoding expressway project, and made a series of 3D finite element numerical simulation by Midas. By studying and analyzing the slope stability and stress distribution in the three stages of initial condition, before supporting, and operation stage, we analyzed the mechanical behaviours and stability of the high slope, and the influence to the bridge made by the slope, as well. The simulation results show that, as the original supporting scheme cannot make an effect on ensuring the slope safety, the stability of high slope decreases remarkably after the excavation, and we have also put forward an improved supporting scheme for the project. And, while the influence to the slope made by the bridge deck loads can be obvious within a limit range, it's insignificant to the overall level. And the change of bridge grade caused by the deformation of the high slope won't make a obvious difference to the driving comfort and safety of the bridge. The study in this paper can guide the construction and maintenance of this slope, and provide reference and ideas to the stability evaluation of the bridge-slope combined engineering in future.

Osman developed a model to describe the riverbank bank collapse based on the slope stability analysis. This model could reflect the physical process of slope collapse well and had been applied to the breach formation model. During the dam break process, the reservoir water level decrease with the increase of outflow, thus transient seepage flow emerge along the slope plane and the seepage force resulting will decrease stability factor of the slope. In this paper, the seepage force was considered to access the stability of bank based on the Osman model. The failure angle and critical value to access the slope stability were calculated. In addition, the breakage process of Teton dam was simulated based on the basic data provided. In addition, the comparison was made between the simulation results when considering the effect of seepage conditions and neglecting it. The results show that the decrease rate of reservoir water level when considering the seepage effect is faster than that neglecting the effect. It takes longer for reservoir to drain off when neglecting the seepage effect. The seepage force accelerated collapse and shorter the dam breakage duration. In addition, the maximum dam break flow rate is greater when considering the seepage effect.

There are noticeable differences in the overburden on river bed and the shape of river valley between the upper dam and the lower dam of a hydropower station on the Dadu river. This paper analyses the forming mechanism of the overburden on river bed and the evolution of river valley on the base of geological structure and global climate. TheUshape glacial valley of the upper dam by glaciations in the last ice age in Epipleistocene remains to this day. A intensive erosion in a later period result in deep cutVshape valley at the lower dam and a profile stair between the upper dam and the lower dam. Since Holocene, strong sedimentation and weak erosion result in deep overburden on the deep cut valley of the lower dam, and a barrier lake layer in the middle of overburden.

The rapid fluctuation of water level of reservoir is liable to cause accumulation landslide, and the failure of reservoir slope often causes damage to hydraulic structures and reduces storage capacity. So that, study its mechanism and the deformation failure mode is important. The test was performed in a rectangular box with the length of 100cm, the width of 60cm and the height of 60cm. A plastic board was set up in the test box, which was used to simulate the bedrock impervious to water. A sluice was developed to implement the simulation of the rapid drawdown of water level. About 20cm thick accumulation was filled on the plastic board. The sensors were buried in the accumulation and used for measuring earth pressure and pore water pressure during rapid fluctuation of water level. The deformation of slope was recorded during the test process by digital camera. The experimental results indicate that the tensile cracks initiate on the surface of accumulation, and a local failure of slope toe have happened in the raising of water level, as the water decreases shear strength of soil; in the process of water level drawdown, the accumulation slips along rock base, and the residual pore-water pressure is a major factor in landslide. The failure mode of reservoir slope is pull-type, due to the landslide is triggered by seepage force.

The geothermal anomaly characteristics at Wudongde hydropower station dam site refer to the Reshuitang fault and the geological environment of underground engineering, so the special geological investigation and analysis were carried out. The results show that:geothermal anomaly is associated with the Reshuitang fault, but it was not the evidence for the Reshuitang fault activities; the hot spring distributed along the fault is classified as medium-low temperature type. The formation of those hot springs attributed to the special topography and geological structure, and the cause of those hot springs stratum-fault compound control mode. The Reshuitang fault is not a active fault, would not affect the adjacent dam site. Springs developed along faults are related with geothermal anomaly in adjacent areas will bring adverse impact on underground engineering construction. So, it should take appropriate engineering measures to ensure safety in the construction process.

According to the characteristics of the geological disasters in the Three Gorges Reservoir of landslide, and taking Tanjiahe landslide in Reservoir for example, deformation characteristics and monitoring data of landslide are obtained through field geological survey. Combined with the engineering geological conditions of the landslide, reservoir level and rainfall, the two major factors influencing the landslide deformation are analyzed. Tanjiahe landslide is located on the right bank of the Yangtze River, and its deformation is more obvious since the Three Gorges Dam reservoir impounded, so the study of the relationship between Tanjiahe landslide deformation and reservoir level and rainfall and other predisposing factors is very necessary. Studies have shown that Tanjiahe landslide in the initial deformation stage, and the central and trailing edge deformed faster, showing a gradual passage landslide. The deformation of Tanjiahe landslide is more significant in the reservoir level and rainfall additive effect, reservoir water will soften the soil, resulting in uplift; and the rainfall will reduce the stabilizing force of slip zone, increase the total weight of the sliding body, increase the decline in power and forme of hydrostatic pressure. Especially when the reservoir level rises, landslide deformation rate show a sudden increases. Tanjiahe landslide is considered reservoir level elevation type slope. In this paper, combined with the Three Gorges Reservoir water level's changes and rainfall, the relationship between landslide deformation and the both factors is quantitatively analyzed, reasonablily, provide the basis for future landslide monitoring and warning.

At present, there is not a systematic study for the relationship between the structure and shear strength. The author conducted consolidated drained triaxial shear tests for the slope loess of Jinnan, to study the correlation regular of the structural parameters and shear strength. The results show that under the combined effect of strength and water, when the pressure is small and water content is low, the structure is stronger, and the structure becomes weaker with the increasing of pressure and water content. When the structural is big, then the shear strength is also big.

In order to realize the creep properties of marble, the uniaxial creep experiment under a series of different loading time was carried out to the marble from heaven mountain in Chang'an County of Xi'an city by using RLW-1000G rock triaxial rheological meter, and the curve of creep test was identified by applying improved Nishihara model. The experiment shows that the instantaneous deformation, constant creep and accelerating creep in the axial deformation process of marble are more obvious, but the decelerating creep process is very short. As the time increasing, damage effect of marble increases under same load, which leads the strain increment enlarges. Marble composite rheological model is obtained by using the nonlinear viscous component to improve the the Nishihara model, which has gained good result, and possesses a certain guiding significance to realize the marble creep characteristics and construction of rock engineering.

Although many models are proposed in landslide prediction in recently years, such as grey system, artificial neural net and time series analysis, the inverse-velocity method is still widely used and characterized by availability and simpleness. According to the movement histories of many landslides that occurred in a variety of materials in a range of settings, four movement patterns are observed evidently during acceleration phase:linear, fluctuant, asymptotic and instantaneous form. Deformation mechanism and movement characteristic of four movement patterns are also presented. The prediction results by the inverse-velocity method are illustrated by typical examples original from the published literature:(1)The inverse-velocity method is suitable for the linear form or fluctuant form that is associated with crack growth, and it can be used by plotting the inverse-velocity curve to predict failure time.(2)Due to ductile deformation in asymptotic form or sudden acceleration in instantaneous form, the method can not directly predict failure time in the two forms. However, the overall trend of landslide deformation is easier to interpret on the inverse-velocity plot.

Boligou landslide located on the left bank of Boligou of Xuejiawan town, is a traction type landslide composed of landfill soil. Since several treatment measures had failed from 2009 to 2012,the investigations and regulation project for the landslide have to carry on again. This paper analyze the slope structures and deformation mechanism of the Boligou landslide through further exploration research:congenital condition for landslide formation is the natural slope shape changed by man-made; material basis for landslide deformation is special slope structure; inducing factors of landslide deformation are infiltration of surface water, the groundwater, and riverbed silt uplift and landslide slope toe excavation intensified deformation. On the basis of accurate analysis of landslide deformation mechanism, put forward engineering treatment measures and achieved success. At the same time, this paper analyzes the reason for the multiple treatment failure, and the root cause is paying less attention to the engineering geological investigation which leads to insufficient understanding of the deformation mechanism of landslide, especially erroneous judgement to the buried depth of the slip plane and ignoring the effect of groundwater on landslide. Under the condition of insufficient understanding of landslide deformation mechanism, blind implement the anti-sliding engineering resulted in multiple treatment measures failure. Therefore the important premise of radical cure landslide is to find out the engineering geological condition and landslide slope structure, and accurate analysis of the deformation mechanism and development process of the landslide by taking necessary means of engineering geological investigation.

This paper presents the method to calculate the rock porosity based on the microscopic images. It extracted the surface pore area, perimeter, morphological characteristics and other information of the different magnification SEM images of the deep red stratum sandstone based on the Image-Pro Plus(IPP).It calculated the rock porosity and fractal dimension. The results show that the deep red sandstone microscopic pore structure is fractal. The fractal dimension is between 1.8312~1.3302, and it has a decreasing trend with the magnification increases of the SEM images. The number of pore morphology and distribution uniformity in the SEM sight range is the main reason. The porosity calculation result has a little different based on different microscopic images. The conformity of porosity calculated by the images multiples of 300~600 and experimental measurement is quite high, which verifies the practical feasibility of this method. The methods and results of this paper provide a basis for the study of macroscopic damage and slake durability of red strata sandstone or other similar rock.

Take the preconstruction part of Guangle highway for an example, two plane strain finite element models of natural soft clay foundation and the foundation reinforced by pipe pile are established. With the analysis of construction stage, displacement field and stress field in the two models are obtained at each stage of the embankment construction process. Then comparative analysis between the two models can reveal the mechanism of reinforcement in a soft clay foundation provided by pipe pile. Results show that the integrality of soft clay foundation improves greatly after the application of pipe pile which takes big part of upper load, making soil taking less and then reducing the foundation deformation. In addition, around the center of the embankment, soil stress and deformation are larger than other areas. It is better to encrypt piles in this area and less in other areas from an economic point of view.

With the proposal of environment friendly tunnel porch concept and ecological and environmental design, plant roots to improve the stability of slope are used to protect original ecology of slopes. However, it is not clear about the effective and mechanism of reinforcing and resistance scouring from plant roots. Therefore, it is necessary to research deeply the action of slope for roots. In the paper, survey method in-site was conducted to the effect of rainfall on scouring with and without covering plants. The effective of plant is analyzed to resist to scouring. The resistant shearing strengthen parameters were measured by test in the experiment and FEM of reduced -strengthen method was used to simulate the action to reinforce of herbage. And shallow landslide was analyzed and evaluated plants roots. It is found that the plant root improves slide and scouring to its degree, especially in the district of gravel-cobble for least sand. At the same time, it can improve slope slide and decrease the polity according to different plant and soils. The conclusion can provide the reference to similar slope protection of design and construction and the conservation of slope during operation.

Engineering geological properties of soil slope are different from the general soil slope for it's special formation process. There are important theoretical and practical significance to research such slopes. Monitoring is an effective method to research slope. It can identify the main controlling factors of slope deformation and failure and predict the long-term stability of the slope. The paper takes the example of a highway granite soil high slopes. The sliding zone is inferred here by the comprehensive analysis of appearance deformation monitoring data, inclinometer monitoring data and geological observation data. Then the slope deformation and failure characteristics are analyzed in details. The study shows that the optimal design and informational construction of high slopes can be achieved. It is also shown from the result that the hidden structural face in slope has very strong control effect on on slope stability.

The three commonly used methods, separate method, integral method and combined method can all be used to conduct numerical simulation of reinforced soil and reinforced concrete. The three methods are actually the same in the essence. In this paper, separate method, integral method and combined method are employed respectively to calculate a reinforced soil system and the results are compared. Two cases are considered for the combined method:one is considering the reinforcement being located at 1/3 of the height of the soil element, the other is assuming the reinforcement lying at 2/3 of the height. It is found that the results by different methods differ only in the range near the boundary of the computational domain, which is about two columns of elements. The results are almost the same deeper in the computational domain. The study is thought to be helpful in the application and selection of computational methods for reinforced soil.

The shear and tensile properties of remolded loess and partially intact loess were investigated by using laboratory triaxial shear test and unconfined penetration tensile test, and the test results for three-dimensional surface fitting by Tablecuver 3D. The results indicated that tensile strength with water content and dry density showed a three-dimensional spiral surface, and similar with saturation, void ratio. The main factors affecting the tensile strength are water content and saturation, and the secondary factor are dry density and void ratio. Tensile strength with cohesion and internal friction angle show tangent concave slightly curled upward trend. Cohesion has a decisive influence on the tensile strength but the internal friction angle has little effect. The relation equation of tensile strength with cohesion and angle of internal friction tangent has general applicability after surface fitting discovery, and it's ease to estimate the tensile strength of loess in engineering practice.

The foundation settlement is a key problem that encountered when airports are built, and there is still no foundation differential settlement controlling standards for airport runway in our country and even in the world. The establishment of the runway foundation differential settlement controlling standard is of great significance for improving the airport design level, controlling project cost, and so on. Based on the relevant regulations of runway pavement smooth degree of International Civil Aviation Organization, and combined with two runway pavement settlement observation results of Shanghai Pudong airport, a foundation differential settlement controlling standard of airport runway is established in this paper. The differential settlement control curve of pavement construction period, differential settlement allowable value curve of operation period, and differential settlement limit value curve of operation period, which is maintenance standard, are respectively given in the differential settlement controlling standard, and safety area, warning area and the danger area are divided according to the three curve. The runway longitudinal differential settlement should be controlled in safety zone. This controlling standard has better applicability after confirmed in the two runway of Pudong airport, and this standard is also confirmed in runway damaged section of Wenshan airport, which proves the rationality of the maintenance standard curve. With the increase of the engineering examples, the controlling standard can also be applied to other types of settlement controlling after revised more perfectly.

Test pile experiment for a certain project in Shanxi suggests qualities of piles do not meet standard requirement, as the inverse drilling technique is not suitable under this circumstance. Nonetheless, when rotating drilling is preferred due to thick layer of mud cakes and sediments involved in this project, standard requirement can be satisfied. This research indicates that selection of appropriate drilling technique is strictly based on work field conditions. By doing so the drilling capacity can be further increased due to the enlarged side and tip frictions. Bearing capacity of single pile can therefore be achieved.

The principle of distributed optical fiber sensing technology based on BOTDR is introduced in this paper. A mineral exploration hole in Huaibei was selected to do a field study on distributed optical fiber sensing technology for the monitoring of 10414mining face overburden deformation combined with coal mining process. Monitoring program selection, laying process of sensing fiber, data processing and analysis, etc. were included in this study. The coal mining overburden deformation law was analyzed. Experimental results show that:During the mining process, there is a fracture surface between the bottom of the upper igneous rocks and lower part of the rock, the separation occurs along the fracture surface in the lower part of the rock along with slip oblique to coalface. The bottom of the under igneous rock to lower rock is compressed by the action of gravity of the overlying rock, meanwhile the amount of deformation is increasing. Experimental results further validate that the mining overburden deformation monitoring method based on BOTDR is very effective, and provides a new monitoring technique for the safe and efficient coal mining.

Through analyzing the field data in the process of collection and arrangement of Darong landslide, failure mechanism conceptual model of Darong was established. In addition, its failure mechanism was studied through finite element method. It is concluded that the failure field in the left of slope saw a decrease in stability coefficient because of artificial landfill, as well as the change of seep conditions of groundwater. As a result, there are changes of stress field in failure field, creep in the middle-upper part of slope body and fracturing in the rear edge of slope, which caused stress concentration in toe of the slope. Finally, shear failure was happened in toe of the failure field caused by rainfall duration, which contributed to the landslide formation because of unstable failure of failure field.

Two major current issues of discrete element method(DEM)in rock and soil fields are proposed:1)mechanical relationship between discrete particles and macro model is not clear; 2)DEM requires huge computation, and it is low in efficiency. Theoretical studies and software development are carried out for the two issues. On the basis of the particle contact model of DEM,conversion formulas are introduced to build discrete element model with specified mechanical properties; a method for energy calculation of discrete element particles is also proposed. Based on these theoretical studies, a three-dimensional discrete element simulation system of rock and soil,MatDEM,has been developed from scratch. The software has good pre-processing and post-processing functions, with which result images and simulation demos can be generated automatically. Furthermore, the speed of DEM calculation is improved significantly using matrix calculation and high-performance GPU(Graphic Processing Unit) computation. MatDEM was used in the numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing in a rock pore. Dynamic simulation of one million particles was completed in a single computer. The result indicates that micro-cracks tend to form along direction of maximum compressive stress and weak directions of anisotropic rock. Energy conversion curves show that elastic strain energy and kinetic energy were converted to heat during the simulation. However, the total energy always maintained unchanged, which indicates the conservation of energy in the discrete element system.
