精密水准测量在地面沉降监测中的必要性分析——以皖北平原亳州市地面沉降监测为例

地质灾害对人类的危害不容小觑。我国是世界上地质灾害比较严重、受威胁人口最多的国家之一[1],特别是在一些大城市和一些缺水严重的平原地带,因城市化建设而加重地表负荷和因生活或灌溉而无节制地开采地下水而造成了地面沉降,其危害性尤为突出。如不及时加强监测防治,将严重危害到人类的生存安全。目前我国对此十分重视,全国主要地面沉降重灾区均进行了联防联控,监测手段主要有精密水准测量、InSAR技术、GPS监测、分层标布设等等。在此过程中,由于监测新技术的广泛应用,且越来越成熟,一些单位人员对常规测量方法—精密水准测量重视不够。本文以皖北平原亳州市区地面沉降检测为例,结合各种检测方法的优缺点,分析了精密水准测量在地面沉降监测过程中的必要性。     

浅谈上海市地面沉降监测网络完善工程监测设施施工技术要求

本文介绍了上海市地面沉降监测站监测设施施工工艺及技术要求,以助于地面沉降监测标孔的施工技术的进步。     

蚌埠市固镇县域地面沉降监测与分析

近年来,地面沉降对城市带来的影响越来越大,地面沉降监测成为城市安全一项必不可少的工作。通过对蚌埠市固镇县域进行地面沉降监测,分析各区域沉降大小及沉降原因。由于监测区域内一等水准点被破坏而无法利用,本次监测选取三等水准点并通过联测的方式对沉降监测成果进行分析。结果表明选取的所有水准点地面稳定性良好,县域整体地面沉降变形较小。也说明针对地面沉降问题,该县近年来采取的地下水采集控制等系列保护措施有效,可以防止地面沉降。     

广州金沙洲广州大学附属实验学校地面沉降形成机理研究

依据地下水动态监测、地面沉降监测和地质钻探的成果,综合研究广州市金沙洲广州大学附属实验学校地面沉降地带的地质构造、人类工程活动特征、岩土体类型、第四系厚度、地层与岩石等因素对地面沉降的影响,分析研究区内地面沉降的动态演变特征。结果表明:脆弱的地质环境条件是广州大学附属实验学校地面沉降形成的内在因素,开挖基坑、桩基础施工及抽排地下水是地面沉降形成的外在因素。在此基础上,得出学校地面沉降是因软土层在抽排地下水及地面附加荷载的共同作用下产生排水固结的结果。     

基于InSAR技术北京地区地面沉降监测与风险分析

以北京市典型地面沉降区为研究区,采用永久散射体技术--StamPS算法,利用覆盖北京地区的16幅ASAR图像进行永久散射体干涉处理,获得该区地面沉降监测信息,初步揭示了研究区地面沉降的空间分布特征.在此基础上,结合GIS空间分析方法,对地面沉降的风险范围、风险程度等进行综合分析,表明北京地区的地面沉降防治刻不容缓.     

淮北平原超深层地下水开采动态监测问题与智能监测系统建设构想研究 ——淮北平原超深层地下水开采动态及监测问题浅析

安徽省淮北平原是中、深及超深层地下水大量持续开采的区域,多年来已造成不同程度地面沉降及危害.历史至今对大于500m超深层地下水的水位与开采量缺少监测,持续发展可能造成较严重的地面沉降及其危害.及时建立智能监测系统,补充对超深层地下水水位与开采量的监测与控制,防止地面沉降进入快速衰变破坏阶段,是十分重要的.     

基于ArcGIS地面沉降三维可视化显示与分析——以陕西省关中地区为例

为了预防和治理地面沉降,在对地面沉降机理进行分析的基础上,以ArcGIS为研究平台,不仅对地面沉降进行了平面显示,而且对其进行了三维可视化模拟,为沉降监测提供了一种更好的分析方法.以陕西关中地区为例,结合三维模拟结果,研究地面沉降的变化情况,找出了沉降点的区域沉降量及特征点沉降量的变化,进而分析沉降变化的原因,给出防治地面沉降的一些措施.     

基于PSInSAR技术的现代黄河三角洲地面沉降监测与分析

地面沉降是现代黄河三角洲地区主要的地质灾害之一,利用PSInSAR技术对覆盖现代黄河三角洲部分地区的10景ERS1/2数据进行处理,获得该研究区的地面沉降范围、沉降速率和形变时间序列情况。选取3个地面沉降范围和速率相对较大的区域进行重点分析,同时将监测结果与相应时间段的居民区分布图和油田分布图进行叠加分析,结果表明,地面沉降与石油开采、地表载荷增加具有较强的相关性。利用水准观测数据对获得的监测结果进行精度验证,结果显示PSInSAR监测结果与水准观测数据吻合,中误差达到mm级。     

县级资源环境数据库建设的技术方法

航空遥感和航天遥感在数据库建设中分别用于获取状态数据和确定变更靶区，而全球定位系统用于靶区的准确定位。该文阐述选择GPS机型的几个条件、GPS基准站设立的两上方面并明确了GPS测量方法。GPS数据在进入数据库之前要基于GPS数据处理软件和传统GIS进行数据转换和编辑。说明基于时空地理实体建立一个本质为TGIS的县级资源环境数据库及其完备的时、空、属性查询特点。同时结合空间信息技术的最新发展探讨县级资源环境数据库建设技术路线的发展趋势。     

地面沉降地质灾害的原因与防治方法

地面沉降属于一种常见的地质灾害,危害非常大。造成地面沉降的因素不仅和地下水有关,而且还和地层岩性结构、土质类型、水文地质条件、固结历史、压缩性大小等相关。本文结合实际案例,首先对地面沉降出现的原因进行了分析,然后采用加强地基质量评估、加固地基、加强地基监测等措施对地质灾害进行防治。

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.
