Extracting the destruction patterns of landslides from extensive monitoring data, and understanding their overall deformation mechanisms are crucial for geological hazard prevention and control. Herein, we took the Jiuxianping landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area as an example and proposed a deformation mechanism analysis model for water-related landslides based on monitoring data mining techniques. Using Granger causality testing, the study analyzes the spatiotemporal characteristics of GPS displacement data from three different profiles, which confirms that Jiuxianping exhibits a traction destruction mode. By comparing GPS displacement data and their Granger causality relationships across different profiles, we reveal that segmented sliding features of the landslide's front, middle, and trailing during its evolution. Furthermore, the impact intensity of triggering factors (rainfall and reservoir water level changes) on landslide displacement was identified. Based on GPS displacement data from profiles II–II′, an empirical mode decomposition–long short-term memory-regression model (EMD-LSTM-regression) is developed for multisource prediction of landslide displacements. The Shapley additive explanations algorithm is used to analyze the influence of rainfall and reservoir water level changes on periodic displacements at different positions of the landslide. Owing to the large area of the Jiuxianping landslide, the response to triggering factors varies across different locations. In the context of global warming and frequent extreme weather events, these findings offer important insights for preventing and mitigating water-related landslides in the Three Gorges Reservoir area, while also providing new perspectives for the analysis of global water-involved landslide deformation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11567,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology","volume":"343 ","pages":"Article 107803"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142696343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a failure involving rockburst and collapse observed in a deep tunnel excavated by a tunnel boring machine (TBM) was introduced. The in-situ failure characteristics of granite with biotite interlayers with different biotite contents and particle sizes were studied via field investigations and mineral composition analysis. The microseismic activity characteristics and fracture mechanisms at different failure zones were analyzed. The strength, failure, acoustic emission (AE) and brittleness characteristics of these types of granites were studied via true triaxial compression tests. The results showed that the biotite granite with biotite interlayers is prone to rockburst and that high-intensity rockburst may occur with less energy than in the intact biotite granite area. The rock fractures are mainly tensile failures, even in the biotite interlayer area. In contrast, the feldspar biotite schist surrounding rock is prone to collapse regardless of whether it contains biotite interlayers. The number of microseismic events during this collapse is relatively small, but the energy is relatively high compared with that of the rockburst at the biotite granite with biotite interlayers. The true triaxial strength and brittleness of the granite samples gradually decrease with increasing biotite content. The biotite granite exhibits very high AE activity, so it is prone to rockburst. The AE activity of medium-coarse grained monzogranite is relatively low; thus, both rockburst and collapse may occur. The strength, brittleness, and AE activity of feldspar biotite schist are very low, and its failure mode is mainly collapse. This study elucidates the typical failure modes and characteristics of different granites with biotite interlayers and can provide a basis and guidance for targeted failure warning and mitigation in tunnels with similar lithologies and geological conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11567,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology","volume":"343 ","pages":"Article 107816"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142660182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we isolate the effect of tailings dam beach geometry at the time of overtopping on breach characteristics using physical and numerical modeling. Five 1 m high homogeneous fine sand dams with beach heights of 0.5 to 0.9 m and a beach slope of 5 % were brought to failure by v-notch overtopping.

Numerical simulations, performed in XBeach, captured this effect in the outflow hydrographs, with differences between physical and numerical model peak outflow generally within 25 %. Another key model parameter in tailings dam breach analysis is the volume of tailings solids lost through erosion during breach. Comparison of terrestrial laser scanning elevation profiles, cut through the centreline of the physical model, with XBeach simulations indicate XBeach can replicate the bulk characteristics of erosion when a tailings-style beach is present.

Accurately detecting the evolution of mining-induced fractures is crucial for addressing the fragile ecological environment and ensuring coalmine production safety in this area. This study focuses on the close-multi coal seams mining at the Ningtiaota coalmine, northern Shaanxi, China, investigating the failure types of overburden rock, the evolution of mining-induced fractures, and the height of fracture zones. The results indicate that the failure type of overburden strata transforms from a “trapezoid shape” to an “overlapping trapezoid shape”, with the fracture zone height extending from 64.5 m to 158.5 m due to the superposition of secondary mining. Furthermore, the evolution characteristics of mining-induced fractures shift from a “three-stage and three-step” model to a “three-stage and two-step” model. A characterization model of overburden deformation based on optical fiber sensing is proposed to effectively describe the strain distribution characteristics of overburden failure. This model reveals the spatiotemporal evolution of overburden deformation from the perspective of “horizontal three areas and vertical three zones”, enabling real-time characterization of overburden deformation. The results demonstrate a relative error of less than 5.0 % between optical fiber monitoring and other methods, excluding theoretical calculations.

The main reason is that most of the steps in the geological modelling workflow are subjective to some degree. Thus, the possible sources of uncertainty in geological modelling are theoretically infinite, and without a trustworthy conceptual model to outline the expected geological structures and lithologies, the uncertainty assessment of the resulting model will likewise be unreliable.
