Controlling the stability of waste dump slopes is challenging due to the influence of time, rainfall, stacking height, and angle on the consolidation degrees of coal gangue. On the basis of those mentioned above, the study focuses on the waste dump slope of Dongpo Coal Mine as the primary research subject. A consolidation model is developed to dynamically adjust key parameters of coal gangue based on varying degrees of consolidation, burial depth, and stress. The results of coal gangue solidification experiments was used to further develop the constitutive model of FLAC3D software. The characteristic of coal gangue with varying consolidation degrees in response to burial depth and stress variations can be realized. The stability of the waste dump slope under different slope angles, continuous rainfall, and various support measures were simulated. The threshold values for slope angle and rainfall duration that precipitate slope failure were determined. The relationship of slope angle (<em>θ</em>), rainfall duration (<em>t</em>), and slope safety factor (<em>Fs</em>) was elucidated and a comprehensive comparative analysis of four prevalent slope support measures was performed. The research findings indicate that with an increase in slope angle, the slope safety factor demonstrates an inversely proportional trend of decline, suggesting that the slope angle of Dongpo Coal Mine waste dump should be reduced from the original 42°–33°. At a slope angle of 33°, the slope reaches the instability threshold after five days of continuous rainfall, with the slope safety factor steadily decreasing and stabilizing as the rainfall duration prolongs. Finally, a combined support measure of three-dimensional grid planting and slope protection piles for waste dump slopes were proposed, which has yielded excellent results in field applications. This research offers valuable insights for the evaluation and management of waste dump slope stability across different consolidation degrees.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100580,"journal":{"name":"Geohazard Mechanics","volume":"3 1","pages":"Pages 73-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143737917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Backbreak is influenced by many factors, such as rock properties, blasting design and local geology, so it is very difficult to assess and evaluate backbreak accurately. Therefore, controlling and accurate prediction of backbreak distance are crucial tasks to reduce hazards in open-pit mines. For this, soft computing-based techniques are considered to be an effective means, as they can integrate various sophisticated factors into a function to predict and evaluate backbreak distance. So, in this study, support vector regression (SVR) based techniques and three different types of bio-inspired meta-heuristic (BIMH) algorithms, such as chicken swarm optimization (CSO), whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and seagull optimization algorithm (SOA), are used to develop backbreak distance prediction models. The support vector regression is used as a regression tool and BIMH algorithms are used to optimize the hyper-parameters in the support vector regression. Four different types of evaluation metrics are utilized to assess the model performance, namely coefficient of determination (<em>R</em>²), mean square error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and variance account for (VAF). An integrated evaluation system is adopted to provide overall performance for each backbreak prediction scenario. It can be indicated that CSO-SVR based backbreak prediction models can procure the best comprehensive performance and also show the best calculation efficiency. Detailed results include <em>R</em>², VAF, MSE and MAE equal to 0.99475, 0.034, 99.477 and 0.1553 for a testing set and 0.97450, 0.1633, 97.466, and 0.1914 for a training set which can be said to be an excellent prediction result. By doing this, the hazard risk induced by backbreak can be indirectly assessed. In addition, it is also found that some superior performance can be obtained in some evaluation metrics compared with previous studies which utilized the same backbreak dataset for prediction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100580,"journal":{"name":"Geohazard Mechanics","volume":"3 1","pages":"Pages 1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143737899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Buckling has been identified as a critical mechanism leading to rockbursts. Seismic events or blasting can induce rockbursts when stress waves reach the free surface of underground openings. This paper aims to investigate the induced mechanism of tunnel rockbursts based on the dynamic buckling of rectangular rock plates. As a rock stress wave approaches a tunnel sidewall, it decomposes into perpendicular and parallel component loads relative to the free surface. The perpendicular stress reflects off the free surface, forming a rectangular thin plate of rock. The parallel stress triggers parametric resonance in the plate, resulting in a tunnel rockburst. An illustrative example of tunnel sidewall rockbursts in Jinping II hydropower project, China, is provided to study the effects of stress wave amplitude and frequency, static and dynamic components, rock damping, multiple frequencies, and vibration modes. Based on this mechanism analysis, recommendations are proposed to mitigate the risk of tunnel rockbursts.

Implementing advanced technologies is crucial for improving hazard risk assessment and enhancing preparedness measures in regions characterised by diverse topography and complex geological formations. Geospatial applications and modelling techniques have emerged as indispensable in mitigating landslide risks, particularly in environmentally sensitive areas. This study presents a comprehensive approach to landslide susceptibility mapping in the Nilgiri District of Tamil Nadu, India, leveraging the power of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and integrating multi-dimensional geospatial datasets. Integrating ANN-based modelling and geospatial techniques offers significant advantages in terms of statistical robustness, reproducibility, and the ability to analyze the complex interplay of factors influencing landslide hazards quantitatively. The methodology involves rigorous pre-processing and integrating spatial data, including landslide event occurrences as the dependent variable and ten independent parameters influencing landslide susceptibility. These parameters encompass elevation, slope aspect, slope degree, distance to roads, land use patterns, geomorphology, lithology, drainage density, lineament density, and rainfall distribution. Feature extraction and selection techniques are employed to effectively model the complex interactions between these factors and landslide occurrences. This process identifies the most relevant variables influencing landslide susceptibility, enhancing the model's predictive capabilities. The state-of-the-art ANNs are trained using historical landslide occurrence data and the selected influencing factors, enabling the development of a robust and accurate landslide susceptibility model. The performance of the developed model is rigorously evaluated using a comprehensive suite of metrics, including accuracy, precision, and the Area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. Preliminary results indicate that the ANN-based landslide susceptibility model outperforms traditional zonation methods, demonstrating higher accuracy and reliability in predicting landslide-prone areas.

In order to improve the charge sensing technology for monitoring and early warning of rockburst disasters, this paper develops a new generation of portable coal rock charge monitoring instrument on the basis of the original instrument and carries out laboratory and underground field application. The primary advancement involves enhancing the external structure of the sensor and increasing the charge sensing area, which can more comprehensively capture the charge signals from the loaded rupture of the coal rock body.
