Monitoring of coal mining subsidence in peri-urban area of Zonguldak city (NW Turkey) with persistent scatterer interferometry using ALOS-PALSAR

This paper presents the results of spatiotemporal monitoring of surface subsidence over a mining area in Zonguldak Province of Turkey using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, providing maps of subsidence rates in the radar line of sight direction. A total of 18 SAR images, acquired between January 2007 and June 2010 by the Japanese Advanced Land Observing Satellite, have been used to map the surface displacements using the Persistent Scatterer Interferometry technique. The use of Phased Array Type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar data has proved useful for avoiding signal decorrelation and estimating surface deformation in the heavily vegetated study region. The technique enables the monitoring of continuous small displacements over a large area. Our findings present that many Persistent Scatterers were located on the vegetation cover. The results reveal areas of ground surface subsidence up to 44 mm/year that are well correlated with the underground coal mining galleries particularly in the Gelik region where the Karadon mining galleries are present.     

采煤沉陷对风沙区土壤非饱和水分入渗的影响

为研究采煤沉陷后风沙区土壤水分入渗变化规律,通过定水头注水结合入渗湿润峰测定的方法,对毛乌素沙地南缘补连塔矿区沉陷于2004、2005年的2个沉陷区土壤水分非饱和入渗变化进行研究,结果表明,垂直入渗观测时段(入渗开始后0~175 min)后期,与坡面剖面相比,丘间低地较多剖面垂直湿润峰的间距明显较大,垂直入渗持续能力较强。2004年沉陷区坡面未裂处平均垂直入渗速率、第175 min垂直入渗深度显著超过对照区坡面(P<0.05),2005年沉陷区坡面未裂处平均侧渗速率显著超过对照区坡面(P<0.05)。沉陷区丘间低地垂直入渗速率在入渗10 min左右前期升高后期降低,侧渗速率在入渗10~12 min的前期升高后期降低;沉陷区坡面垂直入渗速率、侧渗速率在大部分观测时段内升高。因子分析表明沉陷区入渗特征是丘间低地垂直入渗偏强,坡面侧渗偏强。     

Seismic performance of masonry buildings during the 2007 Bala,Turkey earthquakes

A field investigation was conducted near the town of Bala after two strong earthquakes struck the region on December 20 and 27, 2007. The main objectives of this study are to present the results of the field investigation and examine the characteristics of the recorded ground motions and the corresponding response spectra. The focus of the research was on the causes of damage and failures commonly observed in masonry structures. This study classifies single family masonry dwellings in rural areas and investigates the seismic damage in unreinforced masonry structures. Turkish Earthquake Code requirements for masonry buildings are summarized and compared with the field observations. Our field investigation showed that there has been lack of quality control and regulation for the masonry construction. Diagonal shear cracking and out-of-plane failure were the two major factors that contributed to widespread damage in masonry structures.     

急倾斜煤层开采地表沉陷的渐近灰色预测

煤层开采所引起的地表沉陷是一种严重的矿区地质灾害。煤层的倾角、厚度等物理条件是地表沉陷的主要影响因素。在水平煤层或缓倾斜煤的开采过程中，由于地层倾角小，地表沉陷具有较完整的规律性，其预测效果也比较理想。但是，在急倾斜煤层的开采中，由于地层倾角较大，赋存条件和地质体物理力学性质的差异，增强了地表下沉的非线性特征，使地表沉陷具有不确定的表现规律。文章对重庆市南桐矿区东林矿的地表沉陷非线性特征进行了探讨，得到了东林煤矿地表下沉曲线的分形维数是1．07。在岩层移动这个系统当中，既含有已知的又含有未知的或非确定的信息，可以作为一个灰色系统来研究。岩层控制系统的状态、结构和边界条件难以精确描述，属本征性灰色系统。文章针对东林煤矿地表下沉曲线非线性较弱的性质，提出用一种基于GM(1，1)的渐近预测模型对东林煤矿42个月的地表下沉量时间序列进行探讨。结果表明，这种模型对急倾斜层开采地表沉陷的预测是一种行之有效的方法。通过对其他工程实例的应用分析，进一步证明这种渐近的灰色预测方法具有相对较高的精度，是一种比较实用的地表沉陷预测方法，具有广泛的工程实用空间。     

Prediction of sub-surface subsidence movements due to underground coal mining

Summary The theoretical model of the relationship between sub-surface and surface subsidence movements proposed earlier by the authors of this paper is briefly described and further tested against another case history example. Using this model, the magnitudes of the maximum subsidence, tilt and horizontal strain at sub-surface horizons between the ground surface and seam level are predicted in terms of the magnitudes of the corresponding components at the surface due to the extraction of subcritical panels with a wide range of width-depth ratios and the results presented in the form of nomographs and tables. These graphs and tables could be used to estimate the maximum subsidence, tilt and horizontal strain at any chosen sub-surface horizon associated with the extraction of a subcritical panel from the known corresponding maximum values at the surface.The proposed theoretical model can also be used to predict sub-surface subsidence components at any point within the zone influenced by the extraction of a panel from the corresponding surface subsidence components which may be obtained from field measurements or pre-calculated using any existing method of surface subsidence prediction. As an example, the profiles of surface and sub-surface subsidence at various horizons between the ground surface and the seam level resulting from the extraction of an assumed sub-critical longwall panel are predicted using the theoretical model together with the empirical method of surface subsidence prediction. The pattern of sub-surface subsidence movements in the strata overlying the panel is examined.     

软岩矿区地面下沉及其对工业建筑物影响分析

根据鲁中软岩矿区开采引起地面下沉及地面井塔楼等建筑物倾斜变形的工程实际,采用非确定性研究方法,将深埋破碎金属矿体开采引起地面沉陷或岩体移动变形这一客观现象视为一随机事件,建立了开采引起地面沉陷或岩体移动变形分析的数学模型。利用该模型可对开采引起地面沉陷及其对地表工业建筑物影响进行具体分析评价。通过具体计算分析结果表明,在软岩地层条件下矿体开采地表移动变形的影响范围有随着采深的增加而逐渐增大的趋势。     

Stream response to subsidence from underground coal mining in central Utah

 Short-term geomorphic and hydrologic effects of subsidence induced by longwall mining under Burnout Creek, Utah were evaluated. During the year after longwall mining, 0.3–1.5 m of subsidence was measured near impacted reaches of the mountain stream channel. The major channel changes that occurred in a 700-m reach of Burnout Creek that was subsided from 1992 to 1993 were: (1) increase in lengths of cascades and to a lesser extent glides; (2) increases in pool length, numbers and volumes; (3) increase in median particle diameter of bed sediment in pools; and (4) some constriction in channel geometry. Most of the changes appeared short-lived, with channel recovery approaching pre-mining conditions by 1994. In a 300-m reach of the South Fork that was subsided from 1993 to 1994, only channel constriction was observed, although any impacts on pool morphology may have been confounded by heavy grazing in the riparian reaches during the dry summer of 1994. Similar near-channel sedimentation and loss of pool volume between 1993 and 1994 were noted throughout Burnout Creek and in adjacent, unmined James Creek. Subsidence during the 3-year period had no effect on baseflows or near-channel landslides. Received: 10 April 1998 · Accepted: 21 September 1998

固体密实充填开采地表沉陷预计模型研究

为了实现对固体密实充填开采地表沉陷进行科学地预计,需要根据其覆岩结构形态演化规律和岩层移动特征建立完备的沉陷预计模型及其参数体系。相似材料模拟和钻孔窥视表明,固体密实充填开采覆岩形态以完整层状结构的弯曲带为主,覆岩仅在近顶板附近发育一定高度的断裂带,不发生垮落现象。岩层移动特征类似纵向载荷作用下层合板的弯曲变形,通过力学简化,基于层合板理论建立了固体密实充填开采地表沉陷预计模型。研究表明,固体密实充填开采地表沉陷形态仍可用概率积分模型进行描述,并进一步探讨了基于“等价釆高”的固体密实充填开采地表沉陷预计模型参数体系。最后将本文建立的地表沉陷预计模型应用于某工程实例,取得了良好的效果。     

Environmental effect and genetic influence: a regional cancer predisposition survey in the Zonguldak region of Northwest Turkey

The Cretaceous-Eocene volcano-sedimentary units of the Zonguldak region of the western Black Sea consist of subalkaline andesite and tuff, and sandstone dominated by smectite, kaolinite, accessory chlorite, illite, mordenite, and analcime associated with feldspar, quartz, opal-CT, amphibole, and calcite. Kaolinization, chloritization, sericitization, albitization, Fe–Ti-oxidation, and the presence of zeolite, epidote, and illite in andesitic rocks and tuffaceous materials developed as a result of the degradation of a glass shards matrix, enclosed feldspar, and clinopyroxene-type phenocrysts, due to alteration processes. The association of feldspar and glass with smectite and kaolinite, and the suborientation of feldspar-edged, subparallel kaolinite plates to fracture axes may exhibit an authigenic smectite or kaolinite. Increased alteration degree upward in which Al, Fe, and Ti are gained, and Si, Na, K, and Ca are depleted, is due to the alteration following possible diagenesis and hydrothermal activities. Micromorphologically, fibrous mordenite in the altered units and the presence of needle-type chrysotile in the residential buildings in which cancer cases lived were detected. In addition, the segregation pattern of cancer susceptibility in the region strongly suggested an environmental effect and a genetic influence on the increased cancer incidence in the region. The most likely diagnosis was Li-Fraumeni syndrome, which is one of the hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes; however, no mutations were observed in the p53 gene, which is the major cause of Li-Fraumeni syndrome. The micromorphology observed in the altered units in which cancer cases were detected may have a role in the expression of an unidentified gene, but does not explain alone the occurrence of cancer as a primary cause in the region.

以淮南潘一矿塌陷积水区为例,分析测试了塌陷积水区12个采样点水样中的7种重金属元素（Cr、Cd、Zn、Cu、Pb、Ni和Fe）的含量,采用美国环保局（USEPA）推荐的水环境健康风险评价模型,对重金属由食入途径进入人体所引起的健康风险进行评估和分析。研究发现,研究区水体中重金属致癌风险值为（5.06~8.06）×10^-6/a,根据我国环境保护部推荐的健康风险标准,存在健康风险。其中,Cr的致癌风险占总致癌风险的98.52%。非致癌健康风险值在10^-10/a的数量级,健康风险不明显,而非致癌健康风险的贡献大小顺序为,Cu > Pb > Fe > Cr > Cd > Ni > Zn。其中,Cu的贡献率最大,占非致癌总风险值的48.62%。同时还发现,研究区的重金属致癌风险占总健康风险的99.99%,这表明该区域总的水质健康风险几乎全部由致癌风险构成,而致癌风险中又几乎由Cr组成。     

采煤塌陷裂缝对沙蒿吸水来源影响试验研究

采煤塌陷引起的地裂缝不仅造成地质灾害,还会影响矿区植被的生长发育,破坏矿区生态系统。为深入探讨采煤塌陷裂缝对沙蒿吸水来源的定量影响,在神东矿区活鸡兔井田22312工作面选取了受采煤塌陷裂缝影响程度不同的3个试验区进行同位素标记水模拟降水试验。3个试验区根据沙蒿与裂缝的距离不同划分,其采煤塌陷情况分别为未开采区(试验样地内沙蒿距离裂缝大于50 m)、受采煤塌陷影响但无明显裂缝区(简称无明显裂缝区,试验样地内沙蒿距离裂缝大于5 m)以及裂缝区(试验样地内分布有宽度15 cm左右的裂缝通过,且距离沙蒿0~20 cm)。本次试验选择6株沙蒿作为研究对象,划分6个土壤剖面,采用液态水同位素分析仪LGR和Isoprime 100同位素比值质谱仪IRMS分别计算不同土层土壤水和植物样本木质部水的δ18O和δ2H同位素含量,并利用R脚本的MixSIAR贝叶斯混合模型量化降水后不同土层对沙蒿吸水的贡献,探讨土壤水分补给机制和植物水分来源。结果表明:(1) 裂缝区的优先流比例为18.2%;(2) 在未开采区,沙蒿吸收的59.7%的水分来自10~20 cm的土层;(3) 在无裂缝区,沙蒿主要从40~60 cm土层(46.6%)和0~10 cm土层(39.4%)吸水;(4) 在裂缝区,沙蒿吸收的85.9%的水分主要来自40~60 cm的土层。研究结果对揭示采煤塌陷裂缝区土壤水补给机制以及沙蒿吸水模式具有重要意义。      

基于SVM的地下采煤区沉陷灾害发育敏感性分区研究

地下采煤区沉陷灾害发育重点区预测目前尚无固定程式,且敏感区预测结果存在不确定性较大的问题。以山西省太原市西山地区沉陷灾害为研究对象,分别以2012年和2014年核查编录的沉陷灾害数据为建模数据和验证数据,以高程、坡度、坡向、地势起伏度、地面曲率、地层岩组、地质构造为敏感性评价因子,综合运用GIS空间分析、统计分析和支持向量机(SVM)等方法,构建了4种核函数SVM沉陷灾害敏感性分区预测模型,分别从模型的评价因子权重、模型优选、敏感性分区预测结果、预测精度和模型适用性进行了分析。结果表明:多项式核函数SVM模型(PL-SVM)的训练精度(受试者特征曲线下面积AUC=0.854)与验证精度(AUC=0.755)均较高,模型预测能力良好,是4种模型中表现最好的模型,所划分敏感性分区结果合理,极高与高敏感区以较小面积分布较多沉陷灾害点,而低敏感区则以较大面积分布极少沉陷灾害点。PL-SVM模型预测的太原西山地区沉陷灾害发育极高、高、中和低敏感区的面积占比分别为:20.19%、17.43%、21.18%、41.20%,频率比值与敏感性等级之间呈良好的正相关,符合线性函数关系。PL-SVM模型敏感性评价结果可靠,适用性好,对地下采煤区沉陷灾害发育特征研究及灾害普查重点区预判具有参考意义。      

Modeling of ECBM recovery from Amasra coalbed in Zonguldak Basin,Turkey

Zonguldak coal basin is the only productive hard coal basin of Turkey. The eastern part of the basin is called as Bartin–Amasra District, which has deeper coal seams. The depth and difficulty of mining these coal seams make this district an important candidate for coalbed methane (CBM) recovery. However, there is not enough reservoir data for modeling purposes. In this study, the lithologic information collected for coal mining industry was used to determine the correlations and the continuity of the coal seams. The lithologic information was examined and the depths of the coal seams and the locations of the exploration boreholes were used to perform a reliable correlation using a new method. As a result of the correlation study, 63 continuous coal layers were found. A statistical reserve estimation of each coal layer for methane was made by using Monte Carlo simulation method. The initial methane in place found in the coal layers both in free and adsorbed states were estimated using probabilistic simulations resulted in possible reserve (P10) of 2.07 billion m³, probable reserve (P50) of 1.35 billion m³ and proven reserves (P90) of 0.86 billion m³.Among the determined continuous coal layers, coal layer #26 was selected for a preliminary investigation of the applicability of enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) recovery and CO₂ storage. The scarcity of coal seam reservoir data required a sensitivity study for the effects of reservoir parameters on operational performance indicators. The effects of adsorption, coal density, permeability, cleat porosity and permeability anisotropy parameters were examined using the Computer Modeling Group's (CMG) GEM module.

Impacts of coal mining subsidence on the surface landscape in Longkou city,Shandong Province of China

Coal mining subsidence is a common human geological disaster that was particularly conspicuous in China. It seriously restricts the sustainable development of mining areas, and it not only damages land resources but also triggers a series of ecological and environmental problems that may result in social and economic issues. This report studied the coal mining subsidence area of Longkou in Shandong province and uses digital elevation data (DEM) of the mining area before subsidence in 1978 as the baseline elevation. Through image algorithms, we obtained coal mining subsidence region data for 1984, 1996, 2000, and 2004. And with spatial data sources of the same period of TM/ETM⁺ and SPOT5 remote sensing images, BP artificial neural network (BPNN) classification is used to extract surface landscape information in the subsidence area. With the support of GIS technology, superimposing subsidence area on the surface landscape—using the largest landscape ecology patch index, landscape shape index, landscape condensation index, and the index of landscape distribution—report analyzes the mining landscape changes before and after subsidence. This study also carries on exploratory research with the landscape changes, thereby providing a scientific basis for integrated prevention and treatment.     

基于多时相遥感影像的采煤塌陷区典型扰动轨迹识别——以山东省济宁市典型高潜水位矿区为例

本文以济宁典型采煤塌陷地区为研究区域,首先基于1985~2018年Landsat系列遥感影像,利用动态时间规整算法获取本区域典型扰动轨迹特征,然后利用Python决策树分类算法对区域内像元扰动类型和扰动时间进行聚类和识别,从而揭示采矿活动对本区域土地的扰动类型和扰动时间的数量结构、空间分布特征。结果表明：1985~2018年间,研究区范围内存在扰动的像元数量为48517个,面积约4367 km2,占研究区总面积的62.30%,其中扰动最多的年份主要集中在1994~2007年,累计扰动的像元量为35724个,占所有扰动像元的73.78%。1998年扰动像元数量在监测期内最多,像元数为8868个,占所有扰动像元的18.28%。整个研究区域扰动像元数量呈逐步减少趋势,说明该区域整体扰动强度正在减弱,生态环境状况正逐步恢复。本研究探索了多时相遥感地表扰动监测的新方法,研究结果可为区域内生态环境治理提供一定科学依据。     

高潜水位采煤沉陷区积水范围动态演化规律

为了研究高潜水位采煤沉陷区积水范围动态演化规律,以安徽淮北五沟煤矿1031工作面为研究区域,基于Landsat-8遥感数据解译结果,总结了2013-2017年1031工作面上方地表积水范围演化规律,分析净降水量、地下水埋深、工作面推进距离等因素对积水范围演化的影响,并提出积水边界角的概念,建立了积水边界角随采动时间变化的函数关系式。研究发现：高潜水位采煤沉陷区地表积水演化分为4个阶段：未形成期、同步增长期、残余增长期、相对稳定期;在同步增长期和残余增长期,工作面推进距离、净降水量与积水面积日增长量呈正相关,地下水埋深与积水面积日增长量呈负相关;工作面推进距离是积水范围演化的关键影响因素,在工作面推进距离为476 m左右时,地表产生积水,工作面停采后5个月左右,积水面积趋于稳定;积水边界角先呈减小趋势,再趋于稳定,在同步增长期和残余增长期,积水边界角总体呈减小趋势,但受气象、地下水埋深等因素影响而波动;相对稳定期,积水边界角整体趋于90°。本研究为高潜水位采煤沉陷积水区土地利用规划、土地复垦、水陆复合生态系统建立等提供理论依据。
