A multi-method approach to study the stability of natural slopes and landslide susceptibility mapping 总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8
In this paper, a multi-method approach for the assessment of the stability of natural slopes and landslide hazard mapping applied to the Dakar coastal region is presented. This approach is based on the effective combination of geotechnical field and laboratory works, of GIS, and of mechanical (deterministic and numerical) stability analysis. By using this approach, valuable results were gained regarding instability factors, landslide kinematics, simulation of slope failure and coastal erosion. This led to a thorough assessment and strong reduction in the subjectivity of the slope stability and hazard assessment and to the development of an objective landslide danger map of the SW coast of Dakar. Analysis of the results shows that the slides were influenced by the geotechnical properties of the soil, the weathering, the hydrogeological situation, and the erosion by waves. The landslide susceptibility assessment based on this methodological approach has allowed for an appropriate and adequate consideration of the multiple factors affecting the stability and the optimization of planning and investment for land development in the city. 相似文献

Summary Air pollutant dispersion from a continuous elevated point source in the atmosphere for a combination of varying meteorological parameters is studied in the frame of a Gaussian plume model. The Gaussian basic formula for the concentration is reformulated in polar coordinates. The study derives a general formula for the annual or seasonal integrated concentration over sixteen angular sectors surrounding the source. A computer program is developed to determine the frequency occurrence of the wind velocity and direction together with the stability classes in order to evaluate the integrated pollutant concentration as a function of the distance from the source in the different angular sectors. The results have been applied to the area surrounding the reactor of the Nuclear Research Center at Inshas-Egypt.With 2 Figures 相似文献

Geographical Information System (GIS) have proved to be an efficient tool in the delineation of drainage pattern for water resources management and its planning. In this study, GIS and image processing techniques have been adopted for the identification of morphological features and analyzing the properties of the upper catchment of Kosi River. The basin area includes the high-altitude Himalayan Mountains, including Mount Everest and Kanchenjunga peaks. This basin is the main contributing area for devastating floods in 2008 in the Bihar state of India. The catchment can be divided into three sub-catchments, namely, Arun, Sunkosi, and Tamur. A morphometric analysis shows the nature of drainage in the upper catchment of Kosi River and some causes behind the high-intensity floods by comparing the properties of these three sub-catchments. It shows that the highest-order drains are present in both Arun and Sunkosi and the length of the first-order drains is very high (6,088 km) due to the absence of vegetation and also due to the barren/rocky surface which has tremendous potential to generate runoff. Due to highest mean channel gradient in Tamur sub-basin compared to others, it has the highest flow kinetic velocity. Also, the results show that the Arun sub-catchment has the highest potential to contribute runoff and sediment. One of the major causes behind the high intensity of floods is that the sub-catchments Arun and Sunkosi have a nearly equal time of concentration, so they contribute their peak floods at the same time and hence double the intensity of floods. 相似文献

A reconnaissance survey was conducted to examine the physicochemical properties of the potable water of Northern parts of the State of Mizoram, India, as well as the adjoining southern parts of the State of Assam, India. Groundwater samples were taken from those sources of water which were used as potable water source in the area. All the samples were analyzed for ionic concentrations of potassium (K+), sodium (Na+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), chlorine (Cl?), sulfate (SO 4 2? ), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), and arsenic (As). Parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, and total hardness were also measured in situ using digital instruments. The aim of the present work is to study the various physicochemical parameters following the recommendations of World Health Organization in order to test whether these sources are safe enough to be used as potable water resources. Furthermore, present work will throw light on the probable causes of presence of arsenic in Silchar City of southern Assam and total absence of it in neighboring state of Mizoram. 相似文献

Construction works associated with the building of reservoirs in mountain areas can damage the stability of adjacent valley slopes. Seepage processes caused by the filling and drawdown operations of reservoirs also affect the stability of the reservoir banks over time. The presented study investigates the stability of a fractured-rock slope subjected to seepage forces in the lower basin of a planned pumped-storage hydropower (PSH) plant in Blaubeuren, Germany. The investigation uses a hydro-mechanically coupled finite-element analyses. For this purpose, an equivalent continuum model is developed by using a representative elementary volume (REV) approach. To determine the minimum required REV size, a large number of discrete fracture networks are generated using Monte Carlo simulations. These analyses give a REV size of 28?×?28 m, which is sufficient to represent the equivalent hydraulic and mechanical properties of the investigated fractured-rock mass. The hydro-mechanically coupled analyses performed using this REV size show that the reservoir operations in the examined PSH plant have negligible effect on the adjacent valley slope. 相似文献

Hyderabad is one of the fastest growing mega cities in India and it is facing many economic, social and environmental problems due to rapid urban growth. For the better planning of resources and to provide basic amenities to its residents, it is necessary to have sufficient knowledge about its urban growth activities. Also, it is necessary to monitor the changes in land use over time and to detect growth activities in different parts of the city. To accomplish these tasks with greater accuracy and easiest way, remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) tools proved to be very advantageous. This study makes an attempt towards the mapping of land use classes for different time periods and analysis of apparent changes in land use using the Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) data for the urban agglomeration of Hyderabad, India. In this study, three different time periods viz. 1989–2000, 2000–2005 and 2005–2011 are chosen for the analysis. The results have shown that high-density urban area had grown during 1989–2011 by encroaching into other land use classes. The urban growth has also affected water resources both, qualitatively and quantitatively in the region. The transformation of other land use types into urban area dynamically continued in the North-East and Southern parts of the city. In the North-East direction, the urban growth was mostly due to growth in industrial and residential area and in Southern part, mostly due to residential growth. 相似文献

The ground freezing construction technique is one of the most effective and widely applied site construction methods in soft
soil areas, like Shanghai. Some elevation-inclined refrigeration pipes are arranged for the artificial freezing excavation
of the Pudong-side first-storey connection aisle, which is designed to connect two adjacent tunnel lanes of Shanghai East-Fuxing-Road
tunnel project. No advanced research results could be found for computing the temperature field of tunnels and aisles frozen
with inclined refrigeration pipes. Anyhow the computation of the relevant temperature field is of high importance for the
safe and economical excavation of the above-mentioned aisle. In this paper, a method for computing the aisle temperature field
using 3D FEM is given, and the computation accuracy is verified by contrasting the computed and site measured results. The
back propagation neural networks are also applied to the temperature prediction using self-developed Neural Network-Expert
System software, the predicted results are also very satisfactory. The mechanism during freezing and aisle excavation will
be discussed on the basis of 3D FEM simulation. The authors believe that studying the parameter-sensitivity of temperature
field is very important for the optimum selection of parameter values. So, in this paper, the parameter-sensitivity of temperature
field is also discussed. In order to obtain the optimum frozen wall thickness, the relation between the frozen wall thickness
and the initial freezing brine temperature is studied. At the end, an excavation pre-control plan is proposed by means of
fuzzy logic theory for improving the excavation safety. The research result of the current paper is very helpful for projects
that will be excavated by freezing construction technique. 相似文献
