Karst unit mapping using geographic information system technology,Mower County,Minnesota, USA 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Mower County is in southeastern Minnesota in an area underlain by sedimentary bedrock. These rocks are karsted Middle Devonian and Middle Ordovician limestone and dolomite. The karst features of the county were inventoried. These features include sinkholes, disappearing streams, caves, dry valleys, and springs. Previous karst mapping efforts for other counties in Minnesota have produced sinkhole probability maps and a springshed map. In Mower County, we have developed a new type of karst map using a geographic information system (GIS) to produce a karst unit map. Karst units are discrete three-dimensional bodies in which solution of the bedrock has resulted in the integration of surface water and groundwater. The field mapping and hydrologic investigations were done with conventional methods. The karst unit delineation was done using GIS technology, which allowed us to examine the county's karst using two-dimensional and three-dimensional views. Many different overlays of the karst elements were combined to better understand the landscape dynamics. Ultimately, it was the overlay of the karst features, hydrologic information, and depth-to-bedrock mapping on a shaded relief landscape morphology map which allowed us to best delineate the individual karst units. 相似文献

This paper presents the overall sinkhole distributions and conducts hypothesis tests of sinkhole distributions and sinkhole formation using data stored in the Karst Feature Database (KFD) of Minnesota. Nearest neighbor analysis (NNA) was extended to include different orders of NNA, different scales of concentrated zones of sinkholes, and directions to the nearest sinkholes. The statistical results, along with the sinkhole density distribution, indicate that sinkholes tend to form in highly concentrated zones instead of scattered individuals. The pattern changes from clustered to random to regular as the scale of the analysis decreases from 10–100 km2 to 5–30 km2 to 2–10 km2. Hypotheses that may explain this phenomenon are: (1) areas in the highly concentrated zones of sinkholes have similar geologic and topographical settings that favor sinkhole formation; (2) existing sinkholes change the hydraulic gradient in the surrounding area and increase the solution and erosional processes that eventually form more new sinkholes. 相似文献

Sinkhole collapse is one of the main limitations on the development of karst areas, especially where bedrock is covered by
unconsolidated material. Studies of sinkhole formation have shown that sinkholes are likely to develop in cutter (enlarged
joint) zones as a result of subterranean erosion by flowing groundwater. Because of the irregular distribution of pinnacles
and cutters on the bedrock surface, uncertainties arise when "hit-or-miss" borehole drilling is used to locate potential collapse
sites. A high-resolution geophysical technique capable of depicting the details of the bedrock surface is essential for guiding
the drilling program. Dipole-dipole electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) was used to map the bedrock surface at a site
in southern Indiana where limestone is covered by about 9 m of clayey soils. Forty-nine transects were conducted over an area
of approximately 42,037 m2. The electrode spacing was 3 m. The length of the transects varied from 81 to 249 m. The tomographs were interpreted with
the aid of soil borings. The repeatability of ERT was evaluated by comparing the rock surface elevations interpreted from
pairs of transects where they crossed each other. The average difference was 2.4 m, with a maximum of 10 m. The discrepancy
between interpreted bedrock-surface elevations for a transect intersection may be caused by variations in the subsurface geology
normal to the transect. Averaging the elevation data interpreted from different transects improved the ERT results. A bedrock
surface map was generated using only the averaged elevation data at the transect junctions. The accuracy of the map was further
evaluated using data from four exploratory boreholes. The average difference between interpreted and actual bedrock surface-elevations
was less than 0.4 m. The map shows two large troughs in the limestone surface: one coinciding with an existing sinkhole basin,
while the other is in alignment with a small topographic valley. Because sinkholes were observed at the same elevation interval
in similar valleys in the vicinity, the delineated trough may have implications for future land use at the site.

A 480-square-mile region within Will County, in northeastern Illinois, was used as a test region for the development of a methodology to map the sensitivity of aquifers to contamination. An aquifer sensitivity model was developed using a geographic information system (GIS) to overlay and combine several data layers. The components used for our model are: (1) depth to sand and gravel or bedrock, (2) thickness of the uppermost sand and gravel aquifer, (3) glacial drift thickness, and (4) bedrock geology. The model is an improvement over many previous aquifer sensitivity models because it combines specific information on depth to the uppermost aquifer with information on the thickness of the uppermost sand and gravel aquifer. This county-wide model results in an aquifer sensitivity map that can be a useful tool for making land-use planning decisions regarding aquifer protection and management of groundwater resources. 相似文献

Mapping the susceptibility to sinkholes in coastal areas, based on stratigraphy, geomorphology and geophysics 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Sinkholes and land subsidence are among the main coastal geologic hazards. Their occurrence poses a serious threat to the man-made environment, due to the increasing density of population, pipelines and other infrastructures along the coasts, and to the catastrophic nature of the phenomena, which generally occur without any premonitory signs. To assess the potential danger from sinkholes along the coast, it is important to identify and monitor the main factors contributing to the process. This article reports a methodology based on sequential stratigraphic, hydrogeological and geophysical investigations to draw up a susceptibility map of sinkholes in coastal areas. The town of Casalabate situated in the Apulia region (southern Italy), affected by a long history of sinkhole phenomena, is here presented as an example. The approach proposed is based on sequential stratigraphical, geomorphological and geophysical surveys to identify the mechanisms of sinkhole formation and to provide a zonation of the areas in which further sinkhole phenomena may likely occur. Interpretation of the ground penetration radar and electrical tomography profiles has enabled us to identify the potentially most unstable sectors, significantly improving the assessment of the sinkhole susceptibility in the area. The proposed methodology is suitable to be exported in other coastal areas where limestone bedrock is not directly exposed at the surface, but covered by a variable thickness of recent deposits. 相似文献

In 1995 a sinkhole suddenly formed at Camaiore (Tuscany, Italy), causing destruction or heavy damages to several houses and
resulting in the evacuation of many people. To understand the causes, for the formation and evolution of the collapse, surface
and underground geologic features were investigated and reconstructed on the basis of geologic and geognostic surveys. The
sinkhole area is underlain by thick alluvial deposits that cover a bedrock consisting of the Calcare cavernoso formation.
This formation results from hydration and dissolution of Triassic evaporites and has a characteristic spongy and vacuolate
texture. The bedrock contains karst cavities, generally filled by breccia and/or alluvial materials. Thus, the sinkhole disaster
could be ascribed to deep collapse of a cave in the bedrock, and might be considered a distant effect of ancient karst phenomena
in evaporites. 相似文献

On June 3, 2010, a series of karst sinkholes occurred at Jili village surrounded by Gui-Bei highway, Wu-Ping highway and Nan-Liu High-Speed Railway in Laibin, Guangxi, China. The straight-line distances from an large sinkhole pit, 85 m in diameter and 38 m in depth, to the above mainlines are 200, 600 and 500 m, respectively. Several investigation methods including geophysical technology, borehole and well drilling, groundwater elevation survey and hydrochemistry analysis of groundwater were used to study the formation mechanisms of these sinkholes. Based on the results, the spatial distribution of the Jili underground river was confirmed with a strike of SN along the middle Carboniferous limestone bedrock and the Quaternary deposits controlled the sinkhole formation. In addition, both historical sinkhole events and analysis of the groundwater–air pressure monitoring data installed in the underlying karst conduit system indicate that sinkholes in this area are more likely induced by extreme weather conditions within typical karst geological settings. Extreme weather conditions in the study area before the sinkhole collapses consisted of a year-long drought followed by continuous precipitation with a daily maximum precipitation of 442 mm between May 31 and June 1, 2010. Typical geological conditions include the Jili underground river overlain by the Quaternary overburden with thick clayey rubble. Especially in the recharge zone of the underground river, a stabilized shallow water table was formed in response to the extreme rainstorm because of the presence of the thick clayey rubble. When the underground conduit was flooded through the cave entrance on the surface, air blasting may have caused the cave roof collapse followed by formation of soil cavities and surface collapses. Borehole monitoring results of the groundwater–air pressure monitoring show that the potential karst sinkhole can pose threats to Shanbei village, the High-Speed Railway and the Wu-Ping highway. Local government needs to be aware of any early indicators of this geohazard so that devastating sinkholes can be prevented in the future. The results also suggest that groundwater–air pressure monitoring data collected both the Quaternary deposits and the bedrock karst system provide useful indicators for potential sinkhole collapses in similar karst areas where sinkholes usually occur during rainy season or karst groundwater level is always under the rockhead. 相似文献

Extensive research has been done on investigation, monitoring, risk evaluation and land management to prevent formation of sinkholes and subsidences in karst terranes. Little emphasis is, however, given to the various processes and methodologies with respect to their remediation. Sinkholes are a surface symptom of complicated erosion and deformation processes that occur on the surface and in the subsurface. The specific method or combination of methods used to mitigate a sinkhole or subsidence depends on the complexity of the conceptual site model composed of influencing factors and triggering mechanisms, depth and lateral extent of instability, impact on existing infrastructure, and existing and reasonably anticipated land uses. Many sinkhole and subsidence rehabilitation methods including dynamic compaction, construction of inverted filters, compaction grouting and construction of water plugs are presented; however, each sinkhole must be treated uniquely when a decision is made on the most appropriate rehabilitation method. A case study was presented to illustrate how the conceptual site model and remedial alternative analysis approach were used to determine the preferred method for sinkhole remediation. 相似文献

A genetic classification of sinkholes illustrated from evaporite paleokarst exposures in Spain 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
This contribution analyses the processes involved in the generation of sinkholes from the study of paleokarst features exposed
in four Spanish Tertiary basins. Bedrock strata are subhorizontal evaporites, and in three of the basins they include halite
and glauberite in the subsurface. Our studies suggest that formation of dolines in these areas results from a wider range
of subsidence processes than those included in the most recently published sinkhole classifications; a new genetic classification
of sinkholes applicable to both carbonate and evaporite karst areas is thus proposed. With the exception of solution dolines,
it defines the main sinkhole types by use of two terms that refer to the material affected by downward gravitational movements
(cover, bedrock or caprock) and the main type of process involved (collapse, suffosion or sagging). Sinkholes that result
from the combination of several subsidence processes and affect more than one type of material are described by combinations
of the different terms with the dominant material or process followed by the secondary one (e.g. bedrock sagging and collapse
sinkhole). The mechanism of collapse includes any brittle gravitational deformation of cover and bedrock material, such as
upward stoping of cavities by roof failure, development of well-defined failure planes and rock brecciation. Suffosion is
the downward migration of cover deposits through dissolutional conduits accompanied with ductile settling. Sagging is the
ductile flexure of sediments caused by differential corrosional lowering of the rockhead or interstratal karstification of
the soluble bedrock. The paleokarsts we analysed suggest that the sagging mechanism (not included in previous genetic classifications)
plays an important role in the generation of sinkholes in evaporites. Moreover, collapse processes are more significant in
extent and rate in areas underlain by evaporites than in carbonate karst, primarily due to the greater solubility of the evaporites
and the lower mechanical strength and ductile rheology of gypsum and salt rocks. 相似文献

Identification, prediction, and mitigation of sinkhole hazards in evaporite karst areas 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Sinkholes usually have a higher probability of occurrence and a greater genetic diversity in evaporite terrains than in carbonate
karst areas. This is because evaporites have a higher solubility and, commonly, a lower mechanical strength. Subsidence damage
resulting from evaporite dissolution generates substantial losses throughout the world, but the causes are only well understood
in a few areas. To deal with these hazards, a phased approach is needed for sinkhole identification, investigation, prediction,
and mitigation. Identification techniques include field surveys and geomorphological mapping combined with accounts from local
people and historical sources. Detailed sinkhole maps can be constructed from sequential historical maps, recent topographical
maps, and digital elevation models (DEMs) complemented with building-damage surveying, remote sensing, and high-resolution
geodetic surveys. On a more detailed level, information from exposed paleosubsidence features (paleokarst), speleological
explorations, geophysical investigations, trenching, dating techniques, and boreholes may help in investigating dissolution
and subsidence features. Information on the hydrogeological pathways including caves, springs, and swallow holes are particularly
important especially when corroborated by tracer tests. These diverse data sources make a valuable database—the karst inventory.
From this dataset, sinkhole susceptibility zonations (relative probability) may be produced based on the spatial distribution
of the features and good knowledge of the local geology. Sinkhole distribution can be investigated by spatial distribution
analysis techniques including studies of preferential elongation, alignment, and nearest neighbor analysis. More objective
susceptibility models may be obtained by analyzing the statistical relationships between the known sinkholes and the conditioning
factors. Chronological information on sinkhole formation is required to estimate the probability of occurrence of sinkholes
(number of sinkholes/km2 year). Such spatial and temporal predictions, frequently derived from limited records and based on the assumption that past
sinkhole activity may be extrapolated to the future, are non-corroborated hypotheses. Validation methods allow us to assess
the predictive capability of the susceptibility maps and to transform them into probability maps. Avoiding the most hazardous
areas by preventive planning is the safest strategy for development in sinkhole-prone areas. Corrective measures could be
applied to reduce the dissolution activity and subsidence processes. A more practical solution for safe development is to
reduce the vulnerability of the structures by using subsidence-proof designs. 相似文献

Landslide susceptibility zonation method based on C5.0 decision tree and K-means cluster algorithms to improve the efficiency of risk management 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Machine learning algorithms are an important measure with which to perform landslide susceptibility assessments,but most studies use GIS-based classification methods to conduct susceptibility zonation.This study presents a machine learning approach based on the C5.0 decision tree(DT)model and the K-means cluster algorithm to produce a regional landslide susceptibility map.Yanchang County,a typical landslide-prone area located in northwestern China,was taken as the area of interest to introduce the proposed application procedure.A landslide inventory containing 82 landslides was prepared and subse-quently randomly partitioned into two subsets:training data(70％landslide pixels)and validation data(30％landslide pixels).Fourteen landslide influencing factors were considered in the input dataset and were used to calculate the landslide occurrence probability based on the C5.0 decision tree model.Susceptibility zonation was implemented according to the cut-off values calculated by the K-means clus-ter algorithm.The validation results of the model performance analysis showed that the AUC(area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve)of the proposed model was the highest,reaching 0.88,compared with traditional models(support vector machine(SVM)=0.85,Bayesian network(BN)=0.81,frequency ratio(FR)=0.75,weight of evidence(WOE)=0.76).The landslide frequency ratio and fre-quency density of the high susceptibility zones were 6.76/km2 and 0.88/km2,respectively,which were much higher than those of the low susceptibility zones.The top 20％interval of landslide occurrence probability contained 89％of the historical landslides but only accounted for 10.3％of the total area.Our results indicate that the distribution of high susceptibility zones was more focused without contain-ing more"stable"pixels.Therefore,the obtained susceptibility map is suitable for application to landslide risk management practices. 相似文献

A methodology to model seismic microzonation maps is required in the hazard mitigation decision plans of the earthquake prone areas. The stage of disaster preparedness for new residential places is of great importance for detailed seismic microzonation models. The effects of local geological and geotechnical site conditions were considered in order to establish site characterization as the initial stage of the models in this study. Dynamic soil properties based on the empirical correlations between shear wave velocity (V s) and standard penetration test blow counts were taken into account in order to define representative soil profiles extending down to the engineering bedrock. One-dimensional site response analyses were performed to analyze earthquake characteristics on the ground surface. The layers for soil classification, geology, depth to groundwater level, amplification, distance to fault, slope and aspect, and liquefaction-induced ground deformation potential of the study area were prepared in seismic microzonation models. The study area, Erbaa, is placed along the seismically active North Anatolian Fault Zone. Final seismic microzonation map of the study area was evaluated applying different GIS-based Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) techniques. Two of the MCDA techniques, simple additive weighting and analytical hierarchical process (AHP), are considered during the evaluation step of the final seismic microzonation map. The comparison is made in order to distinguish two different maps based on these MCDA techniques. Eventually, AHP-based seismic microzonation map is more preferable for the seismic design purposes in this study. 相似文献

岩溶矿床疏干区地下水位恢复对岩溶塌陷作用机制的研究——以湖南宁乡大成桥为例 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
截止2016年底,大成桥疏干区在地下水位恢复过程中共发生了17起岩溶塌陷,文章结合地下水动态监测、水文地质钻探成果以及现场调查资料等,研究地下水恢复特征及其对岩溶塌陷的作用机制,为研究区塌陷的预警防治提供科学依据。结果表明:研究区岩溶塌陷集中在河流两岸阶地和麻枣冲沟中;岩溶塌陷发生顺序为先补给区后径流区,与地下水恢复动态过程密切相关;区内地下水恢复过程可分为4个阶段,不同阶段岩溶塌陷机理可分为渗流潜蚀-气爆效应,负压吸蚀效应,软化增荷-挤压-吸蚀效应和软化-崩解效应等4种力学效应组合,不同力学效应作用下的致塌模式有所不同。其中地下水位在基岩面附近4~5 m范围波动更容易引发岩溶塌陷。目前补给区地下水位标高63.95~71.8 m,高于基岩面5~6 m;径流区为42.8~57.7 m,位于基岩面以下4~17 m,因此须密切观测研究区地下水位变化。 相似文献

In Korea most of the old mine workings were worked with room and pillar method or sublevel caving method and today they possess
great possibility of surface subsidence especially for shallow depth mines. In most of the cases, mine roadways, rooms and
pillars are irregular in shape and information about the local geology is uncertain. For these reasons, it is difficult to
standardize the estimating method of subsidence especially sinkhole type over abandoned mine area. This paper describes the
application procedure for the fuzzy reasoning techniques to analyze the possibility of sinkhole occurrences over abandoned
mines. This technique is implemented in software which can simplify the analysis procedure and present the possibility of
sinkhole subsidence without having precise information about local geological/mining conditions. This technique has been applied
to forecast sinkhole possibilities at Bonghwa site where a massive sinkhole has already been occurred. 相似文献

Management and mitigation of sinkholes on karst lands: an overview of practical applications 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
When karst lands are developed for residential or commercial purposes, sinkholes are to be properly managed or mitigated.
This paper discusses various types of sinkholes and their possible formation mechanisms, presents some guidelines for sinkhole
management, and summarizes several engineering measures for sinkhole remediation. Because a sinkhole is often not an isolated
feature but a component of an integrated groundwater and surface water system, knowledge of the sinkhole geology and hydrology
is essential in selection of the proper management tools and remediation options. Adverse effects including flooding, additional
sinkholes, and groundwater contamination can result from poorly managed or improperly repaired sinkholes. 相似文献
