Winds and sand movements in the Namib Sand Sea     

N. Lancaster 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1985,10(6):607-619

Wind regimes in the vicinity of the Namib Sand Sea are high energy unimodal near the coast, becoming bimodal or complex inland. There is an overall decrease in wind energy and sand transport rates from south to north and west to east, such that sand moves from coastal and southern source areas to accumulate in the northern and central parts of the sand sea. Such a pattern can explain much of the observed spatial variability in dune types, sizes, and sediment characteristics and lends support to a climatic model of sand sea formation in this region. Seasonal and daily cycles of wind velocity and direction give rise to episodic sand transport, most of which is generated by winds of moderate velocity and frequency.  相似文献   

Diffusion models of slope development     

A. M. Trofimov  V. M. Moskovkin 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1984,9(5):435-453

This paper represents a systematic investigation of slope evolution diffusion models and has the following sections: (1) The model of slope development with linear coefficient k = k₀x; (2) The model of slope development with quadratic coefficient in x; (3) Slope development model with vertical lowering of base level (downcutting); (4) Slope development model with the base level a horizontal variable (undercutting); (5) Steady-state regime of undercut slopes; (6) Model of a pediment and scree slope formation. The comparison is made between mathematical and classical methods of slope evolution analysis.  相似文献   

Slope process change and colluvium deposition in Swaziland: An SEM analysis     

Andrew Goudie  Peter A. Bull 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1984,9(3):289-299

Electron microscope analysis of sixty samples taken from six colluvium sites in Swaziland has shown that the quartz grains exhibit marked edge abrasion in the uppermost beds of exposures. This edge abrasion is lacking in the lower beds in all sections examined and indicates slope process change during colluvium deposition. A model of slope evolution is provided, in which slope erosion progressively brings about more channelling and causes greater surface roughness because of the exhumation of more core stones and differentially weathered rock. This roughness causes increased edge abrasion.  相似文献   

A generalized probabilistic approach for slope analysis: practical application to an open pit iron ore mine     

D. S. Young 《Geotechnical and Geological Engineering》1986,4(1):3-13

Summary An example of the generalized probabilistic approach to slope analysis is given through a case study on an iron ore mine. A step by step engineering procedure is described, so that a practical application can be made to other structures under different field conditions.  相似文献   

Surface sealing as influenced by slope angle and position of simulated stones in the top layer of loose sediments   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Jean Poesen 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1986,11(1):1-10

The influence of five different slope angles and two different positions of simulated stones in the top layer of a sandy and a silty sediment on surface sealing intensity is examined in the laboratory. Sealing intensity is assessed by studying changes of percolation rate through a sediment layer with simulated rainfall duration and by measuring cohesion of the 5 mm thick upper sediment layer, a measure of seal strength, by means of a torvane. Slope has a negative influence on sealing intensity. For a constant per cent of simulated stone cover, sealing intensity is lowest in the case of stones placed on the sediment surface compared to the case of stones pushed into the surface layer. Explanations for these findings are given and some implications are further discussed.  相似文献   

The influence of weathering on the geotechnical properties and slope angles of mudstone in the Mineoka earth-slide area,Japan   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Yukinori Matsukura  Keiji Mizuno 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1986,11(3):263-273

Three active earth-slide slopes of Tertiary mudstone were investigated: Slope 1 has an angle of 17 ?4°, Slope 2 of 12.9°, and Slope 3 of 11.6°. Infinite slope analysis indicated that the instability of these three slopes can be well explained by using the residual strength parameters of earth-slide soils near the sliding surface in conjunction with the highest ground water table. The residual angle of shearing resistance, ø'_r, plays an important role in the determination of slope angle because it differs greatly among slopes. Mineralogical studies and X-ray diffraction analyses were performed for the clay minerals included in the slope material. The results showed that illite and chlorite were found in Slope 1, and also in Slopes 2 and 3 together with interstratified illite/montmorillonite and montmorillonite. The degree of weathering is progressive in order of Slopes 1, 2 and 3. The alteration of clay minerals by weathering causes the reduction in ø'_r -values, i.e., 19.4° in Slope 1 (steep, less weathered) and 12.1-9.2° in Slopes 2 and 3 (gentle, much more weathered). This result indicates that the degree of weathering has a great influence on the value of ø'_r, which in turn determines the slope angle.  相似文献

Intermittent surging movements of a coastal landslide     

P. Grainger  P. G. Kalaugher 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1987,12(6):597-603

Since the late 1960s there has been a large mudslide in coastal cliffs of Permo-Triassic strata (conglomerate overlying mudstone) at West Down Beacon, 2 km west of Budleigh Salterton, Devon. A total displacement of 100 m was achieved between 1981 and 1985 as the lobate toe of the mudslide pushed forward across the beach in eleven surges of movement. Each surge involved a displacement of between 5 and 15 m and was completed within a few hours. The toe moved by planar sliding, possibly on more than one seaward-dipping shear surface or zone. Occasionally there were additional relatively minor displacements (less than 1 m), but normally the mudslide was stationary between the major surges. After each surge high-oblique aerial photographs were obtained for stereoscopic interpretation. Debris falls from the cliff appear to have triggered some of the mudslide surges. A displacement recording of one surge has indicated that the rate of movement of the mudslide may have been partly controlled by variations in sea level during the tidal cycle.  相似文献
