Sodium montmorillonite is a layered clay mineral composed of hydrous aluminum silicate. The hydration and microscopic physical/mechanical properties of the mineral were investigated using a molecular dynamics simulation in the current study. After the model containing various water molecules of the sodium montmorillonite were developed, the crystal cell parameters and the various types of the energies before and after energy optimization were then analyzed. The changes in the volume and density with various water molecules and temperatures were also investigated. The hydration of the mineral was thereafter examined using the radial distribution function. The physical and mechanical properties of the mineral with various water molecules were further more explored. It shows that the shape of the unit cell of the sodium montmorillonite became much irregular after the energy optimization; the trosion energy increases, whereas other types of energies and the total energy decreased at different levels after the energy optimization; with the increase in water molecules, the volume and density of the mineral would increase and decrease respectively; as the surrounding temperature rose, the volume and density of the mineral would increase and decrease respectively; the hydration and mechanical properties of the mineral were much related to the number of water molecules.

Based on the field measurement of the main fault of Longmenshan structral belt after the earthquake, the Radon concentration measurement's data is processed and analyzed, and three main faults' activities are compared. The result shows that the ratio of Radon viscosity's maximum and background value along the front fault is around 3.5~7.1, in which the ratio in the segment with surface rupture is 7.0~7.1, while the one without surface rupture ranges from 3.5 to 5.6; the ratio of central fracture and back range fracture are around 7.05~8.75 and 7.3 respectively. That means the central range fracture has the stronger activity than the others, which suggests that the seismic-fault of the earthquake is the central one and the other faults' movement were triggered by it. At the same time, the fault along the Tongji-Baishuihe bridge was stimulated by the central fracture, the ratio is 6.05.

Based on the data of ground temperature and deformation beneath embankment of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in permafrost regions during the year 2006 to 2013, characteristics of thawed interlayer beneath the embankment and its effect on the embankment settlement deformation are studied. The results indicate that there is little thawed interlayer developed beneath natural field along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, while beneath the embankment the thawed interlayer is developed widely, and it can be refrozen totally in the regions of lower mean annual ground temperature and developed further in the regions of higher mean annual ground temperature. The increasement of thickness of thawed interlayer in warm permafrost regions was duo to the decreasing of artificially permafrost table. Thawed interlayer is closely related to the embankment settlement deformation. The ice content of permafrost under the thawed interlayer controls the settlement deformation of embankment, the higher the ice content is, the bigger the settlement deformation is.

At-2.0℃and-5.0℃, a series of uniaxial compressive tests were conducted on frozen silty sand soil with different water contents on condition of various strain rates to analyze the influences of strain rate and water content on failure strain energy density of frozen soil. The testing results show that with strain rate increasing failure strain energy density increases nonlinearly at a slower rate and finally the affection becomes very little when strain rate is beyond 210-3s-1.However, the increase of water content makes failure strain energy density appear a decrease tendency in the late increase stage of strain rate. With moisture content increasing, firstly failure strain energy density increases sharply to a maximum and then decreases sharply to a minimum. Finally, the further increase of water content makes the failure strain energy density be basically equal to 0.05MPa. The mechanism of strength change is not totally coincident with the mechanism of failure strain energy density change.

The Qinghai-Tibet Engineering Corridor(QTEC) is an important link between the inner China and Tibet, where several linear projects were located in. Since the fragility of ecology and warm, ice rich permafrost, the engineering geological conditions along QTEC are extremely sensitive to climate change and human activities. Based on the analysis of main influencing factors for engineering geological conditions of QTEC in permafrost regions, volumetric ice content, mean annual ground temperature, slope aspect, slope gradient and vegetation coverage were selected as assessment factors for evaluating engineering geological conditions along QTEC using Fuzzy C-means Clustering(FCM) and Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)methods. In this paper, Geographic Information System(GIS)was used to visualize the assessment results. According to the classification of FCM, the calculation results of AHP were classified into several grades. A comparison of the results from two methods showed that, in the permafrost regions with higher ice content, warmer ground temperature and higher slope gradient, engineering geological conditions are obviously poor. And these regions are mainly located at Kunlun Mountain, Chumar high plain, Wudaoliang Basin and Kaixinling Mountain. Evaluating results from the two methods showed a good agreement and the two methods can therefore effectively assess the engineering geological conditions of QTEC.

The year of 2010 is the extreme weather year when El Nio transferred into La Nia, and in this year most geological disasters happened extremely frequently in China. Statistics showed that the hazards concentrated in the southwest mountain areas of China, and the main hazards were the debris flows and landslides(including collapses).Drought happened in early 2010 and rainstorm occurred in rainy season, and the study about single case indicated that it was affected by the natural condition, the dominant factor of hazard was rarely quantitatively analyzed and indicated. In this paper, we coupled characteristic index of dry-wet cycle and the large-scale hazards in the southwest mountain areas of China and analyzed the influence factor of the disasters. Results indicated that 64 percent of the large-scale disasters in the research areas have a corresponding relationship with the drought in 2010, and the dry-wet cycle is one important factor to cause disasters. The influence of dry-wet cycle mainly reflects as follows: large numbers of cracks occurred with the happening of drought, then the rainfall infiltrated along the cracks which resulted in the decrease of resistance and the increase of both seepage pressure and sliding force.

Rock avalanche is characterized by complex kinematic process where drastic deformation and frequent collision with surrounding mountains of high-speed sliding rock mass may contribute to further dynamic fragmentation and progressive breakage of internal clastic rock fragments. It is of great significance to investigate the underlying mechanism of progressive breakage of rock fragments and its effects on macro deformation and mechanical behavior of sliding rock mass. This paper aims at the study of the progressive breakage failure of particle beds. Firstly, a series of confined compression tests were conducted on a type of spherical ceramic particle chosen to simulate quasi-brittle rock materials, and the comminution patterns and the mechanism behind were analyzed. Secondly, a three-dimensional numerical model was established which is capable of incorporating random deposition of spherical particles of prescribed size distribution and the frictional contact interaction between adjacent particles. The potential damage and fracture within a particle was simulated by a continuum damage material model. The test results demonstrate that tension splitting fracture dominates the size reduction performance of spherical particles under confined compression, and the variation of size distribution of the feed can mobilize different comminution patterns. The numerical results of particle breakage pattern compare favorably with the test results, and the numerical model can be extended for future applications in the progressive damage and disintegration behavior of particle assemblies made up of irregular rock fragments.

China is a big country of saline land, especially in the majority of the northern and western regions, the salinization of soil is much serious, which leads to significant deterioration in engineering properties of soil. To study the effect of soil salinity on shrinkage cracking, we prepare NaCl solution of concentration were 0, 1, 2, 3 moLL-1 respectively, then add the solution to soil stir saturated mud made the initial sample, the sample evaporation loss under simulated drought conditions, during the entire drying process measuring the moisture content of the sample timing change and use the camera to record the occurrence and evolution of fractures. The digital image processing system was used to quantitatively characterize the crack pattern, then the surface crack ratio, number of nodes, number of clods and fractal dimension is determined to describe surface cracking extent. The results show that the content of salt in the soil has an important impact on the dry shrinkage cracking process, with the increase of NaCl concentration, evaporation rate trends to decrease, and cracks appeared in the process of drying time delayed gradually, corresponding critical moisture content increases and the critical water content in the corresponding cracking rate increased. In addition, the development degree of fracture surface of specimen become lower with the increase of salt, as well as the crack width, length, fractal dimension, also with increasing salt concentration and decreasing. These phenomena related to the Interaction of salt-clay and the change of the electric double-layer.

The interaction between pile and layered soil was investigated based on a project with pile foundations in Shanghai. The interaction between pile and soil was simulated using parallel-bonded model considering the layered distribution of the soils. The microscopic mechanical properties were characterized with seven parameters, including ball-ball contact modulus, ball stiffness ratio, frictional coefficient of the particles, parallel-bond modulus, parallel-bond stiffness ratio, parallel-bond normal strength, parallel-bond shear strength. The bond strength and stiffness ratio were determined based on the cohesion and compression modulus of the soils. The microscopic parameters were calibrated based on the in-situ load-displacement curve. The two-dimensional particle flow code in simulating the interaction between pile and soil was developed. The interaction between pile and soil particles and movement features of particles were thereafter explored. It shows that the moving features were different in different soil layers; the displacements of clay particles were greater than those of the sand ones; the contact force between pile and soil particles were different in different soil layers, and the contact forces in sand were greater because of its greater friction coefficient and stiffness; the force chain propagated mainly along the normal direction. These results are referable in investigating the load transfer mechanism of piles in layered soil under external loads.

The microscopic mechanical properties were characterized with seven parameters, including ball-ball contact modulus, ball stiffness ratio, frictional coefficient of the particles, parallel-bond modulus, parallel-bond stiffness ratio, parallel-bond normal strength, parallel-bond shear strength. The bond strength and stiffness ratio were determined based on the cohesion and compression modulus of the soils. The microscopic parameters were calibrated based on the in-situ load-displacement curve. The two-dimensional particle flow code in simulating the interaction between pile and soil was developed. The interaction between pile and soil particles and movement features of particles were thereafter explored. It shows that the moving features were different in different soil layers; the displacements of clay particles were greater than those of the sand ones; the contact force between pile and soil particles were different in different soil layers, and the contact forces in sand were greater because of its greater friction coefficient and stiffness; the force chain propagated mainly along the normal direction. These results are referable in investigating the load transfer mechanism of piles in layered soil under external loads.

About 292km of the passenger and cargo railway line from Changchun to Baicheng in northeastern China passes through the western region of Jilin Province, and special soil exists in this area. There are liquefaction soil, soft soil, saline soil, seasonally frozen soil and other special soil in this region. According to the investigation of the railway line, the soft soil and the seasonally frozen soil exist along the whole line, the saline soil exists along the line from Songyuan to Baicheng, and the liquefaction soil exists in this area from Songhua to Daan. The seasonally frozen soil is very sensitive to the change of temperature, and the liquefaction soil is prone to the phenomenon of sand liquefaction under the actions of dynamic loads and earthquake. The soft soil has features of high water content, large void ratio, high compressibility and poor permeability. The saline soil has moisture, leaching, subsidence, erosion, swelling and other features. These special soil will decrease the strength of the roadbed, resulting in roadbed subsidence, uneven settlement and other hazards, and they impact on the railway's design and construction. To service the engineering practice, combined with the actual of the engineering, the distribution and engineering characteristics of these special soil were analysised on basis of the requirements of railway project, then appropriate measures for the treatment of the ground and approaches of strengthening the foundation were proposed.

The collapsible loess has a large compressibility and a low strength. It often produces a larger settlement when the subgrade is built on it, and the rain often leads to subgrade subsidence and other subgrade diseases, which has seriously affected the construction of the railway. In order to prevent subgrade subsidence of loess, Hejin to Sanmenxia DK531+702.50~DK532+006.13 of one railway is taken as the test road section to study grain composition, physical-mechanical property and soluble salt composition analysis. It is concluded that the physical-mechanical property of the loess affccts the collapsible damage of loess roadbed deformation. Due to the high silt content in the loess, collapsibility may happen at a low moisture content; the subgrade subsidence of loess roadbed is mainly caused by tremendous variety of cohesion, while angle of internal friction has no distinct variety. Foundation treatment method and drainage measure are put forward combining with the engineering geological properties of the research section, which provides a basis for preventing and curing the subgrade diseases of loess roadbed.

In order to apply reliability theory in cutting loess slope design, 510 natural critical loess slope sections in the eight regions in loess plateau were investigated and the relationship between the slope heights and widths was regressed in each region. Considering the factor of safety as 1.0 with the profile of the regressed relation, comprehensive shear strength parameters c、 are reversed against different slope heights. Morgenstern-Price method was used to build limit state equation as well as Monte-Carlo method was used to simulate probability of failure against the reversed shearing strength and statistical results from 79groups of c、 coefficient of variations. Then the relations of the loess high slope probability of failure, factor of safety and coefficient of variations are showed systemically and the reliability criteria for loess cutting slope is proposed. The failure probability of cutting loess slopes should lower than 8.0%for express way and first grade highway as well as within 15.0% for second grade highway and lower ones. The factor of safety and the probability of failure have their own advantage respectively. Therefore, combining both of them is the better choice in assessment of slope stability in loess area where geo-hazards occur frequently.

Ground fissure and land subsidence are usually caused by soil mass deformation, which may occur in region of groundwater depression cone formed by overexploitation of groundwater. Soil deformation process is irreversible. It is extremely difficult for deformed soil to restore. Therefore, predicting soil deformation is one of the main researching contents for preventing and controlling ground fissure and land subsidence. In the north China plain, groundwater overexploitation is a very serious problem. A series of environmental geological problems(i.e, ground fissures, and land subsidence) have been caused by the overexploitation of groundwater in the North China Plain. It is very important for researchers to study soil deformation in region of groundwater depression cone in the north China plain. Soil mechanics experiments were carried out with different depths and different soils collected from Shijiazhuang and Hengshui in the north China plain where groundwater were overexploited heavily, and where groundwater depression cone have formed. The results show that the relationship among different soil deformations is clay soils silty clay soils sandy soils; the deeper buried soils are easier to occur deformation; Deformation of shallow clay is increasing with colloidal particles content increasing; Deformation process of deep silty clay is divided into fast and slow-steady two stages. This study of soil deformation has a guiding significance for land subsidence prediction in the North China plain.

In mountainous areas, rockfall happens suddenly and occurs frequently, with the diverse kinematic characteristics such as free fall, sliding, rolling and projectile motion and the stochastic characteristics. Due to the diversity of factors, random motion and uncertainty in the study, it is still a big problem that how to predicate rockfall characteristics accurately. The problem leads to the truth that calculated results could not match the actual characteristics, and further leads to the phenomenon that countermeasures failed to prevent rockfall and rockfall disaster occurred often. Based on the summary of rockfall run-out calculation approaches in the past, we analyzed the applicability of different methods. Combing with case analysis, we found much uncertainty in rockfall study including cognitive uncertainty and random uncertainty. We proposed the idea that: the establishment of uncertainty view, theory and approaches in rockfall study is one of effective ways to promote the development of scientific prediction and prevention for rockfall. The study would provide reference for selection of appropriate rockfall calculation method and reasonable decision for rockfall prevention and mitigation.

The distribution of laggings' earth pressure between supporting piles is one of the key problems should be considered during design. Based on the loads transfer relationship in the pile and lagging system, this paper presents a compound retaining structure between two adjacent supporting piles which contains a flexible load reduction cushion between soil and laggings. A finite-difference model of the compound retaining structure is established by FLAC3D, by which both the load reduction effects and the influential factors of the flexible cushion were analyzed. The results show that the flexible cushion can effectively reduce the earth pressure acting on the laggings. The load reduction effect is more significant when the elastic modulus of the flexible cushion is smaller or the thickness of the flexible cushion is larger.

When vacuum preloading is performed on soft soil, changes in particle aggregates, void sizes and microstructure directly influence the consolidation process of the soft soil. In this paper, the marine soft soil sampling from south China coastal was adopted in the research.laboratory small-scale tests and scanning electron microscopy(SEM)tests were conducted to investigated the drainage mechanism of the soft soil. In addition, the fractal method was used to simulate evolution process of the drainage channels in the soft soil. In the initial stage of vacuum preloading, the drainage channels were developed and water was strongly attracted by vacuum suction. Therefore, the drainage channels could be deemed as straight pipes. In the subsequent stage, drainage channels shrank, enhancing the influence of soil particle adsorption. The water flow carrying tiny soil particles might be slowed down, leading to a higher adsorbed water content.the viscosity of adsorbed water and adsorb ability of fine particles gradually caused the blockage in drainage channels. At last, the drainage channels narrowed(even closed) and formed a mutually staggered grid. The soil showed obvious anisotropy and heterogeneity. Drainage process of the soft soil under vacuum preloading is essentially the process of the block up of the original drainage channels, followed by the formation of new drainage channels. A depth research in of microstructural change of soft soil in the reinforcement is advantageous for safe construction and operation of the engineering structure on the soft soil.

On the basis of experiment measured hydrodynamic parameters on Guilin and Liuzhou lateritic soil, the solute transport process of the two lateritic soils are analyzed, for the purpose of indentifying the effect of hydrodynamic parameters. The results show that Guilin lateritic soil, which contains more quartz, exhibiting higher volume water content and lower hydraulic conductivity at the same suction, has better water holding capacity than Liuzhou lateritic soil. According to the solute transport theory, the 1-D concentration distributions in the two lateritic soils are simulated at four level of initial saturation 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%.With the initial saturation decreasing, solute diffusion depth of Liuzhou lateritic soil increases, while diffusion depth of Guilin lateritic soil become small at the 85%saturation, indicating the relationship between diffusion depth and initial saturation in Liuzhou lateritic soil is not applicable to Guilin lateritic soil. The process of seepage in unsaturated soil is controlled by the dual factors of suction and permeability. For Guilin lateritic soil, its low permeability becomes major governing factor as the saturation decreasing because the reduction of permeability surpasses the increases of suction gradient, resulting in the velocity of fluid. However, the hydraulic conductivity of Liuzhou lateritic soil has small change with the variation of initial saturation, indicating the unsaturated seepage dominated by suction gradient.

Waste rubber chips bring a lot of pressure to the environment. Some researches have been done for improving the properties of soil with rubber particles in engineering. Several specimens of rubber-sands mixtures with different sands percentage composition were made and consolidation tests were done to explore the compression properties of mixtures influenced by rubber particles. The tests results were that the density curves and the stress-strain curves of the specimens with different sands fraction were presented. It was found that the density of specimens increases with the sands fraction increases approximately linearly. The specimens with a lower sands fraction are more compressible and show a larger residual deformation. The Es of specimens develops with the sands fraction increases and it grows much faster when the sands fraction is higher than 60%.

Loose sediments with a gentle-inclined impermeable base are widespread in nature. Therefore studies of seepage flows in this kind of sedimentary formation is of critical importance in many hydraulic engineering practices. The most famous analytical solution for this problem is Pavlovskii's method. However it is only applicable to the aquifer of a small slope angle and a small head difference between two boundaries because of its assumption that the divergence angle flow lines should be small. This paper presents a new analytical method for an aquifer with a downward-and counter-sloping base. An appropriate coordinate system was first chosen to divide the aquifer into two parts, one above and another below the x axis. A total differential equation was derived according to equivalent flux across the interface between two parts and the principle of mass conservation(continuity).Analytical solution was then obtained by solving the total differential equation with specified boundary conditions. The method was used in four examples taken from literatures. The results were compared with Pavlovskii's solutions. The discharge is almost identical, but the difference of phreatic surfaces between two methods increases as the slope angle rises and the head difference become larger(expressed as hydraulic slope, related to the divergence and convergence angles of streamlines).Based on analysis of hydraulic mechanisms, the new method presented in this paper provides higher accuracy for calculating phreatic surface than the Pavlovskii's method. It can also be applied to an aquifer with a higher slope angle of the base and greater head difference between boundaries(affecting convergence and divergence angles of streamlines).

The method was used in four examples taken from literatures. The results were compared with Pavlovskii's solutions. The discharge is almost identical, but the difference of phreatic surfaces between two methods increases as the slope angle rises and the head difference become larger(expressed as hydraulic slope, related to the divergence and convergence angles of streamlines).Based on analysis of hydraulic mechanisms, the new method presented in this paper provides higher accuracy for calculating phreatic surface than the Pavlovskii's method. It can also be applied to an aquifer with a higher slope angle of the base and greater head difference between boundaries(affecting convergence and divergence angles of streamlines).

Enhanced geothermal system(EGS)could extract deep geothermal resource from low permeability hot rock through media circulation. Based on the real geological and logging data of one abandoned well YS 2, we first studied the conditions existing in the deep formation. A 3D fracturing model was created and various fracturing schemes have been numerically conducted. Subsequently, we performed the hydro-thermal simulations with different injection rates through the different fracture reservoirs generated by the hydraulic fracturing. Last, depending on the research results above, we obtained the optimal fracturing and operation strategies. The results indicate that in the optimal fracture reservoir, an electrical power of 0.60~1.23MW(10 fractures) over a 20 years period could be achieved when the 3 horizontal wells system was adopted and injection rate was 30kgs-1.

Stability analysis of slopes is one of the classic problems in soil mechanics. Limit equilibrium method is the most commonly used method for slope stability analysis, and it is recommended by many specifications. Generally, the potential sliding surface corresponding to the minimum safety factor is thought to be the critical surface that are most likely to slip. Based on the analysis in this paper, an idea is proposed which considers the sliding surface corresponding to the maximum acceleration as the critical surface, and is called critical surface of acceleration. Examples show that the maximum acceleration is closely related to the minimum safety factor.

Stiffened Deep Mixed(SDM)column is a new kind of composite material column. It is formed by inserting a precast concrete core pile into the center of a Deep Mixed(DM)column immediately after the construction of deep mixing column. This new composite column is appropriate to reinforce the thick soft soil. However, previous studies have been mostly focused on the performance of SDM column under rigid foundation. There have been few studies regarding its mechanical behavior under flexible load at present. This paper presents a numerical study to investigate the behavior of SDM column-supported embankment over soft soil. Firstly, a comparison of results by the numerical model and field data was conducted to verify the reliability of the numerical model. Based on the calibrated numerical model, the study was conducted to investigate the influence factors of ratio of concrete core pile length to DM column length, area ratio of concrete core pile and column spacing on the behavior of SDM column-supported embankment over soft soil. The results showed that the settlement could be effectively reduced and the pile efficacy could be increased to some extent by increasing the ratio of core length to DM column length, and reducing column spacing. The results have the practical values to guide the application of SDM columns in practice.

Take in Salah field in Algeria for example, numerical model has been established with the use of CGS-THCM coupled simulation program to simulate the changes of surface displacement caused by injected CO2 in different way. A method of combining Numerical simulation with monitoring data has been put forward to make comprehensive assessment of the CO2 escape problems during CO2 geological storage project. And the CO2 escape-surface displacement evaluation system has been established to assess whether CO2 escape and quantity size of the escaped CO2 during the CGS project. It is can be seen through simulation results: by the initial phase, smaller surface displacement be caused. And as time increased the surface displacement is more and more obvious. In addition, injection volume, injection pressure correspondingly cause large surface displacements.

When the new railway tunnel undercrosses the existing highway, the crossing interaction becomes inevitable between different lines, it not only affects deformation of the tunnel and the pavement, but also affects the safety of the line. Therefore, it is vital to analyze the changes of tunnel structures and patterns of construction settlement. Based on the engineering that a new open-cut railway tunnel undercrossed the existing highway, for the intersection part, the soil deformations, deformations and the mechanical conditions of supporting structure and existing highway were studied by using MIDAS/GTS finite element software under the self-weight load and the lane load after the completion of the tunnel construction. The results showed that the maximum settlement took place in crown. The cross-range size and angle had a striking impact on the lining settlement, the probability of tensile failure occurred in hance on the inside of supporting structure is higher than that of the crown. It was found that the settlement of the intersection part of existing highway and crossing railway tunnel was less than the pavement on both sides for the shallow tunnel with the ratio of cover and span below 0.5. The tensile failure may occur at the junction of C30 reinforced concrete pavement and C20 plain concrete pavement and the structures should be strengthened.

According to the current situation that there are few research results about the mechanics regularity of prestressed anchor cable and lattice beam at the wall in tilted back, the tilted three-dimensional model of anchor cable and lattice beam at Beijing Mentougou are built using Midas/GTS.And the stress, bending moment, horizontal deformation and the variation of lateral earth pressure at the wall in tilted back which is upright or tilted with 80 and 70 are analyzed. The results shows that the axial force of anchor rope, bending moment and horizontal deformation are the largest in the section with the angle of 70, while those are the smallest in the vertical section. So we suggest that the upright section should be chosen for the prestressed anchor cable and lattice beam.

A Changchun No.1 Metro Line station tunnel was constructed by CRD method with the character of large cross-section, shallow-buried. It's necessary to study the deformation of the stratum and the tunnel structure. Therefore, the numerical model founded by FLAC3D based on the geological conditions and construction conditions is contrasted with the monitoring data to study the deformation regularity. The result shows, the settlement curves of cross section and vertical section are fitted in Gauss formula well. The settlement of the ground surface is approximate to be elliptical funneled in three dimensional space, and the location of the largest ground settlement is near to the horsehead in the projection of the tunnel. During the excavation, the upmost pilot tunnels have made great influence to the final settlement, and it accounts about the half of the final settlement. Due to the median lamella reduces the tunnel convergence, monitoring the settlement of the ground surface and the vault is the predominant way to judge the stability of the tunnel. The above analysis conclusions have practical guiding significance for the construction of metro tunnel with large cross-section in the future.

The landslide hazards area is an important basis for division of the danger zone, also is basic to carry out landslide disaster prediction and prevention work. The large discrete element numerical 3DEC model was carried out, which researches Mawo landslide hazards area. The results shows: The hazards area after Mawo landslide damaging and deformation is 105m at left of landslide(facing slope), 65m at the right of landslide, and is 345m away from landslide vertical horizontal distance. The speed monitoring data show, after the landslide sliding out, the speed of the lateral movement is small, general trend movement of landslide is downward and forward. And it shows that central of landslide have the greater speed than other parts, which make it more likely to be long-range slide. The research results would provide a theoretical basis for local disaster prevention and mitigation decisions, therefore, we should recommend that Mawodang village would relocate or construct stopped stone walls retaining measures, which locates 248~345m from gentle segment landslide downstream.

This paper built four kinds of numerical analysis models of slope, inputting Ban Shen seismic waves. Summarizes the dynamic response of the law. Calculated result shows that: 1 the hardness-upward slope demonstrates larger amplification effect of acceleration than the softness-upward slope basically according to acceleration dynamic responses. Forthermore, vertical excitation concentrate than those in horizontal excitation, the largest amplification of horizontal acceleration is 1.5 to 2.0 times than the vertical acceleration.2 Soft rock is more sensitive to seismic waves than hard rock, under the strong earthquake, the hardness-upward slope is apt to fail according to the displacement.3 Rock slope with soft foundation demonstrates larger amplification effect of acceleration than the rock slope with no soft foundation according to acceleration and displacement dynamic responses. However, evolution of stress field shows that before the failure of the slope, the existence of soft foundation can reduce the role of earthquake dynamic effect to a certain extent, which is positive to slope stability.

Much attention has been paid to Lengmugou debris flows in Baoxing County after the Lushan earthquake. Affected by earthquakes superposition, the structure of the provenance is more wider and looser, and two large-scale debris flows are activated successively in August 18, 2010 and May 23, 2013 under the condition of triggering heavy rainfall. Combining with the provenance conditions, the paper makes the effects on the source provenance clear through the provenance response study under the action of earthquake, as well as the change characteristics of the source volume. Meanwhile, the paper also concludes inductively the causes of the provenance reserves increase through comparative analysis, and different types of source related transformation relationship between each other. Firstly, the Wenchuan earthquake is indirect contribution within the provenance in the watershed, and the Lushan earthquake induced directly, the same is likely to be indirect contribution to the next earthquake. Secondly, the provenance response of indirect contribution from the slope debris flows has been translated into collapse-type source and channel-type source. The paper obtains the preliminary understanding to the quantity change of the provenance the earthquake stacks effected, with more hope that the results provide certain enlightenment function on monitoring and warning research in debris flow disaster.

With high selectivity and low dilution, Cut- and -fill stoping plays an irreplaceable role in deposit mining projects, especially in which occurrence conditions of orebody are complicated, surface environmental protection needed and rockburst easily triggered. Cut- and -fill mining practices of past decades demonstrated that the main factors affecting fill mass stability include engineering geological condition, back-fill strength, stoping technology and surrounding-rock boundary condition and so on. The back-fill strength is the key factor for success or failure of the backfilling project. And the dimension of orebody-stoping drift is the critical factor affecting fill mass supporting layer stability. The irregular boundaries between fill mass and surrounding rock can transfer part of the former self-gravity into the latter, reduce the load on the supporting layers, and then advance the stability of the fill mass.

The development of the city raised a high demand of traffic, which led to the rapid development of the subway. Subway stations as a water-tight structure, would cause barrier effect to steady groundwater flow. Therefore, it is necessary to study the influence of underground structures on groundwater flow. This paper studies the effect of underground structures on groundwater flow by numerical methods, based on cell-centered finite difference method software Visual MODFLOW.In order to clarify the factors affecting groundwater flow by underground structures, the calculation model was simplified. Model is used only for single layer soil in the underground structure's influence on the groundwater flow. Studies have shown that: underground structures not only can affect the stability time of groundwater flow, but also makes the upstream water level rises, and the downstream water level dropped, whereby, the upstream's degree of influence is bigger than downstream. Water level difference around underground structures between the upstream and downstream, is one of the factors affecting them.

In this paper, the engineering geological conditions of one construction site in Beijing has been described in details based on the field investigations. As to the 6 typical slopes, stereographic projection method and limit equilibrium method have been used to analyzed the stability of them. For limit equilibrium method, complex plane sliding and three dimensional wedge analysis model were adopted. The analysis results show that the engineering geological conditions of the site is relatively simple, the rock mass is main of layered structure. The stability of the 6 slopes in the site is relatively well. However, there is a fault cut through the site, therefore, the stability of slope No.2 should be paid more attention to. Combining the slope stability and high availability of building sites, the protection method of slope excavation, retaining wall and slope surface protection were proposed.

The numerical simulation technique of three-phase non-isothermal flow in heterogeneous porous media was adopted to analyze the point source leakage, migration, and in situ air sparging(AS)process of Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids(LNAPLs) and Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids(DNAPLs).The mass fraction distribution and removal rate of the contaminants were studied. The effects of sparging flow rate, well distance, and sparging depth on the contaminant removal rate were discussed. Theoretical analysis indicates that both the mass fraction distribution scope and concentration of dissolved benzene are larger than that of dissolved trichloroethylene(TCE).There exist peak concentration regions around 1~2m above the underground water level for both benzene and TCE.In addition, benzene mainly concentrates in the upper part of the aquifer as well as the vadose zone, while obvious distribution of the TCE can be found in the lower part of the aquifer. The largest migration depth of TCE is 5 times as much as that of benzene. The ratio of contaminant removal after a short period(1 day) of continuous AS remediation increases a little with the increase of sparging depth, decreases quickly with the increase of well spacing, but increases a lot with the air flow rate. To reach the required remediation standard given by standards, the operation periods for air sparging of benzene and TCE contaminated underground water need 60 and 30 days respectively, indicating a shorter period for TCE.In addition, experimental research achievements from different literature were referenced to verify the reasonability of above theoretical analysis.

The mechanisms of contaminant transport in soil include advection, diffusion, dispersion, sorption, biological degradation, chemical reaction and so on. In engineering practice, deformation of consolidation will take place due to self-weight of soils and applied load. On the one hand, consolidation of contaminated soils will lead to advection of the contaminated pore fluid. On the other hand, the void ratio and consolidation coefficient of the soil as well as the hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient of the contaminant will also be changed with the development of deformation, which will comprehensively influence the transport behavior of the contaminants. At first, different types of consolidation-induced contaminant transport models including large strain and small strain consolidation models are summarized. Then, different kinds of test methods and equipment are listed and compared. Finally, related engineering application cases are presented.

The buried depth and geometry of potential sliding surface is the fundamental basis of estimating the evolution mechanism and performing administration of a landslide. The precision of engineering geological survey was closely related to the quality of landslide controlling engineering. Conventional techniques to obtain information about landslide structure were mainly drilling, pitting, trenching and so on, but they were time consuming, more labor and expense, especially a degree of damage on landslide body. These techniques were not conductive to do large scale surveying due to above limitations. In this study, we observed digital signals on the underlie bedrock gravel landslide using microtremor array, and extracted the shear wave velocity structure with Spatial Autocorrelation(SPAC)method. Compared to the boreholes, the results indicated that the depth of stratigraphic distribution and clear underlie bedrock interface basically coincided with drilling with high resolution and without limitation of terrains. MSM was superior to borehole in terms of surveying depth, scale and expense, and allowed a large scale and high density investigation of structure characteristics of underlie bedrock gravel landslide.

In order to solve exchange of qualitative and quantitative in the process of debris flow risk assessment, this paper establishes a model of debris flow risk assessment based on Cloud Model theory. First, we obtain the numerical characteristics of ten classified factors according to the classification standard method. Then we use the forward cloud generator to evaluate the measured data and calculate the certainty degrees of each gully belonging to the four grades. Second, combining the evaluation factor weights, we calculate the maximum comprehensive certainty degree of each gully. According to the four debris flow gully measured data in Miyun county of Beijing, this paper evaluates their risk assessment with Cloud Model. Compare the Cloud Model results with extension evaluation results, we find that the results are mostly the same. Therefore, we can make conclusion that the cloud model method is reasonable and accurate, which can evaluate the degrees of debris flow risk.

Based on the study on the environmental geological problems such as deep rock's integrity of coal mining area, the change of shallow rock's bearing capacity, groundwater and surface water in Tai'an, this paper analyzes the geologic environmental effect in subsidence area. It shows that the present extracting technique of coal has great effect on geologic environment. And some area has been greatly influenced, unlikely recover any time soon. The surface subsidence caused by coal mining has little effect on agricultural production but great effect on landscapes, the ground stability, the surface water distribution area and the water level. The negative environmental effects above are bad for the economic development in coal mining subsidence area and they have significantly hindered the rational exploitation and utilization of groundwater. In response to these issues, this paper provides the reasonable plans of coal planning area in the countermeasures part which can reduce or even avoid the negative environmental effects and encourage the normal development of economy, realizing the consideration to environment and economy benefit.

The method of using the stone-column in soft clay ground treatment has been applied widely in subgrade engineering. This study proposes a conversion method, using the unequal strain assumption theory, to obtain the equivalent plane-strain model of the unit cell. Firstly, the plane models of the pile-soil unit, based on equal strain assumption and unequal strain assumption theory, are established by ABAQUS.Secondly, the simulation results of these two models are compared with a reasonable axisymmetric result, and the results show that the unequal strain assumption theory is more suitable. Finally, a plateau wetland highway soft soil subgrade engineering is simulated using these two models, and the results further prove that the transformation model based on the unequal strain assumption theory is more reasonable.

Taking a coal mine in Huainan as an example, a distributed fiber monitoring scheme of coal seam floor deformation was designed. By monitoring the deformation state and the strain distribution of the sensing optical cable buried in the floor of coal seam in the monitored space, combined with the consideration of coal seam floor strata structure, the distribution characteristic and the changes of deformation of coal seam floor during the process of the working face advancing are presented. The results show that, the BOTDR distributed optical fiber sensing technology can not only accurately reflect the deformation of coal seam floor but also monitor the whole process of progressive deformation and failure of the floor failure depth development. Thereafter, it's possible to determine the failure of the floor failure depth according to the strain distribution of sensing cables.

The combined method with vacuum and surcharge preloading is an effective alternative to improve the thick soft soil. This paper introduced a field test of soft soil improved by the combined method with vacuum and surcharge preloading. The vacuum pressure under membrane, settlement of ground surface and pore water pressure in soil were monitored during the preloading period. The final settlement was predicted based on the field data. The average degrees of consolidation in terms of stress and strain were calculated respectively. The test results indicated that the differential settlement was mainly developed during the surcharge preloading period. The vacuum pressure decreased down the drain length. The computed average degrees of consolidation in terms of stress and strain were 90.2% and 91.8%, respectively, indicating that the most settlement occurred during the preloading period and a satisfactory improvement effect was achieved.

5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake led to large numbers of earthquake-induced deformation, and formed many potential hazards. The developing and evolving process of shatter crack of the mountains is the key element for the prevention and treatment of landslide. Shaking table test is a key mean of earthquake simulation in the lab, which can reproduce the deformation and destruction process of slope under earthquake action. GPR is a geophysical prospecting method by using reflection of high-frequency electromagnetic wave to detect target and geologic structure, which can be used to detect the position of sliding surface. By inputting sine wave of different frequency and same acceleration, the dynamic acceleration response characteristics of slope were researched on small scale shaking table. The development situation of slope cracks was detected by LTD-2100 GPR and radar antanna GC900MHz. The positions of the cracks were deduced on the basis of the interpretation results. The result showed that the location of the cracks detected by GPR were in accordance with dynamic acceleration response characteristics of slope. It is feasible to use GPR in shaking table test to analyses the cause and mechanism of earthquake landslide.

Wave velocity testing technology has been widely used in various engineering as a simple, quick test technology, and the Tertiary sandstone is one of the very representative soft rocks, so it has very important implications to research on Wave velocity testing of the Tertiary sandstone. This paper took the Tertiary sandstone in Jiyang nuclear power plant as an example, analysed the spatial distribution of the semi-formed Rock's wave velocity and searched the relationship of the wave velocity with depth, SPT and CPT though organizing the data of the wave velocity gain by cross-hole wave velocity measurement and single-hole wave velocity measurement. The results shows that the wave velocity increases with depth, above the depth of 5m, the rate of increase is very significantly, and the increase rate trend slow below the depth of 5m. The wave velocity for different holes are basically the same, which indicate that the Tertiary semi-formed sandstone is uniformitarian. Shear wave velocity and depth of buried linear regression fit well; there is no significant correlation between the shear wave velocity and SPT, and the shear wave velocity and CPT are uncorrelated.

Distributed optical fiber sensing technology, a new type of monitoring technology that emerges in our actual project several years ago, with many advantages for full distribution, real-time, anti-jamming and high durability, is becoming a hot spot in the field of geotechnical engineering. The optical fiber cable is buried in the soil, and the shear deformation of the soil is measured. Based on the correspondence between strain distribution of the optical fiber cable and the soil shear deformation, two strain-deformation conversion models based on arc curve and Logistic growth curve are proposed, and the applicability of the models are preliminarily considered. Then an interior shearing test of soil was designed to verify the accuracy of the models, and finally the models are used for the analysis of the distributed fiber monitoring data of Majiagou landslide in Three Gorges Reservoir. The results show that by using the conversion models, the shear deformation of soil can be figured out with strain distribution of the optical fiber cable.

Using the seismic crosshole CT method for high precise detection of metro shield zone, Acquiring the information of formation and the distribution of adverse geological between test hole were acquired, so as to achieve the purpose of the shield advance geological prediction in tunnel construction. By introducing the size error and location error, the detection effect of location and size, which was detected by cross-hole seismic CT tomographic, were further compared and analyzed. And base on erroranalysis, the difference between each effects detected in different detecting target or different detecting area were analyzed. The results of error analysis show that the detection effect of the target location is superior to effect of the size, and, the detection accuracy for different object is mainly determined by the difference of the seismic wave velocity between object itsself and the surrounding. In addition, through the contrast of detection effect for different location on test section, can also be concluded that detection accuracy of areas in the middle of the test hole is higher than the areas adjacent test hole. According to the analysis result and the conclusions, the geological prediction method for shield tunnel which based on cross-hole seismic CT was formed.
