川藏公路拉月滑坡破坏过程模型试验研究

拉月滑坡是川藏公路线上典型的岩质滑坡。拉月一带斜坡岩体中节理裂隙十分发育,节理、裂隙间相互切割、组合,形成具不同块状结构特征的岩体,特别是不同结构特征的岩石块体相互嵌合,形成具不同稳定状况的的岩体结构。拉月滑坡的发生机理是因块状破坏而引发的滑坡,拉月滑坡破坏过程模型试验就是从机理上分析滑坡的发生过程。拉月滑坡模型试验采用了相似材料模型试验方法,建立相似的试验模型,重现滑坡体的受力状态、变形和破坏过程。     

一种基于地理环境相似度的滑坡负样本可信度度量方法

滑坡负样本在统计型滑坡危险度制图中具有重要作用,能抑制统计模型对滑坡危险度的高估。当前滑坡负样本采样方法采集的负样本可信度未知,在负样本采样过程中,极有可能将那些潜在滑坡点错选为负样本,这些假的负样本会降低负样本集的质量和训练样本集的质量,进而影响统计模型的精度。本文基于“地理环境越相似、地理特征越相似”的地理学常识,认为与正样本有着相似地理环境的点极有可能是未来发生滑坡的点;与正样本的地理环境越不相似的点,则越有可能是负样本。基于此假设提出一种基于地理环境相似度的负样本可信度度量方法,将该方法应用于滑坡灾害频发的陇南山区油房沟流域,对油房沟进行滑坡负样本可信度评价制图;使用油房沟流域的滑坡发生初始面来验证该方法的有效性。结果发现：滑坡发生初始面上所有栅格点的负样本可信度平均值为0.26,超过95%的栅格点的负样本可信度都小于0.5,说明本文提出的负样本可信度度量方法合理。     

应用简单变量统计模型预测庆元地区滑坡危险性

庆元县是浙江省滑坡灾害发生严重地区之一，开展滑坡预测尤为重要。以研究区的滑坡点位资料、地形数据、土壤类型数据、岩石类型数据及遥感TM数据为基础资料，提取滑坡的影响因素。统计获取了滑坡与因素的关系特征，并应用简单变量统计模型开展了研究区滑坡灾害预测。预测结果显示，研究区滑坡灾害危险性高值区分布较广，主要分布在松源镇的中部、安南乡中部、淤上乡的东部及隆宫乡的北部，其危险性大，而在其它地区，滑坡灾害危险性为低值区，危险性小。     

位移监测在滑坡时空运动研究中的应用

滑坡时空运动特征是滑坡地质体在内因和外因共同作用下，自一种状态向另一种状态转化的地质过程。滑坡位移监测是研究滑坡变形影响因素、动态规律及预测预报的主要途径，特别是滑坡深部位移监测，又为研究滑坡体的时空运动过程提供了重要信息。本文结合几个滑坡的深部位移监测实践，综合分析位移监测信息，研究滑坡体的时空运动特征及发展趋势，为滑坡时空运动系统研究及稳定性预测提供依据。     

基于航空影像和LiDAR数据的海地地震滑坡识别研究

快速、准确地判别滑坡灾害范围对灾情评估与救灾指挥至关重要。将高分辨率航空影像和机载LiDAR数据相结合,能充分利用滑坡体的光谱特征、几何形态与空间结构特征,提高滑坡识别的准确度。该文以海地地震诱发的滑坡识别为例,介绍了面向对象的滑坡识别思路及方法;针对海地滑坡灾害特点,选择了相应的灾害特征,并经反复试验设定了特征参数阈值;针对面向对象分类过程中特征组合与选择这一瓶颈问题,以河流沉积物和滑坡判别为例,通过特征组合试验与对比分析,发现基于NDVI与坡度特征组合的分类结果明显优于单一特征及其它组合模式的分类结果。与最大似然分类法相比,该方法的分类结果更为准确、精度更高。

苏州绕城高速公路K19滑坡的工程地质特征及治理

以苏州绕城高速公路K19滑坡工程为例，对滑坡工程地质条件及特征、滑坡成因和形成机制进行了研究。结果表明，该滑坡受地形地貌和物质结构条件控制，受人为工程切坡和降雨诱发而形成的。最后，在确定影响滑坡稳定的主要控制因素和失稳机理的基础上，分析和评价了不同工况条件下的稳定性，提出了进行滑坡防治的工程对策。     

浅层蠕动型黄土滑坡机理

浅层蠕动型黄土滑坡通常呈面状发育于相对平缓的沟谷两侧,沿黄土-基岩接触面产生周期性低速蠕动,对附近的工厂、道路和管道等设施造成严重破坏。研究这类滑坡的形成机理对其防灾减灾工作具有重要的指导意义。因此本文以甘肃省天水市罗玉沟流域的一个典型浅层蠕动型黄土滑坡为例展开研究。取滑带泥岩样进行直剪和直剪蠕变试验,以试验数据为基本参数,利用VB编程的二维滑坡运动模型模拟该滑坡的演化过程,并分析了滑坡在运动过程中及河流侵蚀下的稳定性。结果表明,泥岩应力-应变曲线呈弱硬化型,破坏后强度不发生衰减,且其长期强度(φ_∞=10.3°、c_∞=12.8 k Pa)明显低于直剪试验强度(φ_f=11.9°、c_f=40.9 k Pa),有利于滑坡发生蠕动;滑坡演化过程中后缘滑体逐渐向前缘蠕动,滑体稳定系数随之提高,但河流侧蚀又会明显降低其稳定性,导致周期性蠕动下滑;本文采用的二维滑坡运动有限差分模型可较好的模拟这类滑坡的演化过程,可为滑距预测提供依据。     

香港岛地区滑坡灾害的时空分布模式

香港岛是香港特别行政区开发程度最高的区域，人工滑坡及自然滑坡时常发生。滑坡灾害在时间和空间的分布受多种因素的影响并呈现出一定的规律性，本文利用GEO发布的近十多年的滑坡资料对香港岛地区滑坡灾害的时间、空间和时空分布模式进行了分析。     

基于Midas的窑洞滑坡诱发机理研究

窑洞滑坡是黄土地区一种特有的滑坡灾害形式。本文针对窑洞保护和滑坡防治的需求,结合具体窑洞滑坡实例,开展窑洞滑坡相互作用机理研究。论文通过野外资料调查、数据资料分析、物理力学试验,采用三维模型演示窑洞滑坡演化过程,利用Midas/GTS软件对窑洞滑坡进行施工阶段数值模拟计算分析,总结了窑洞滑坡四个变形破坏阶段以及此类滑坡特征,提出了窑洞滑坡相互作用力学模式,达到保护窑洞防治滑坡的目的。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
