The study applies UNESCO-IHE vulnerability approach, combining the flood risk assessment method by MIKE FLOOD model and sociological investigation, with 90 household questionnaires (selected randomly and door-to-door interview). The main results include flood risk level maps (by analyzing inundation depth and flood flow velocities); data on community resilience to flood (resilience capacity and local people's perceptions on flood risks). These results are the basis for not only raising awareness about flood risks but also propose non-structural flood protection solutions for managers and local communities in the research areas. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":247618,"journal":{"name":"VNU Journal of Science: Earth and Environmental Sciences","volume":"30 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133678954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The leg pressure of shield support and face condition were monitored within two months, and on-site remedial measures to the spall were discussed. The monitoring results confirmed that the front and rear leg pressure profiles are consistent with world-wide observations. The coal face condition in actual operation was found to be more stable than that in project design. The face spall occurred along face dip direction, but mostly in small extent of less than 0.5 m deep and during transitional time between working shifts. Proper ground control near gate ends by using higher capacity shield supports and supplemental hydraulic props was identified to improve face stability in the area. On-site remedial measures proved their efficiency in small to moderate face spall extent. For main roof rupture-associated face spall, technical measures have been applied but they need further investigation to clarify their effectiveness.

The NE-SW normal slip faults are an essential fault system in the area, which created Bang Lung graben valley. This fault system also forms large fracture zones, creating advantage conditions for the groundwater runoff both vertically and horizontally to eroded and dissolved carbonate rock-forming underground karst caves. These are favorable natural conditions for forming a sinkhole. The sinkhole hazard in the Bang Lung area is initiated by some main factors such as tectonic activity, thickness, and characteristics of unconsolidated sediment layers, groundwater fluctuation, karst caves, and human activities. The most human impacts are mining exploitation and agricultural cultivation that promote sinkholes occurring faster and earlier. The horizontal and vertical movement of groundwater dragged the material on the ceiling karst caves into ground spaces. Thereby, weakening the cohesion of the unconsolidated sediment above caves leads to gravitational unbalance and creates a sinkhole. This study has also shown potential sinkhole areas in Bang Lung, which helps the authorities and local people in sinkhole prevention and mitigation mission. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":247618,"journal":{"name":"VNU Journal of Science: Earth and Environmental Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130985538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tectonically, the northwest-southeast to east-west striking faults developed strongly. Detailed analysis of slickensides and attitude of faults occurring in the studied area have shown that the northwest-southeast striking faults are reactivated as dextral ones during the Pliocene-Quaternary up to the present day. Based on the geometric distribution of the fault network, kinematic characteristics, and the youngest tectonic stress regime, we computed the distribution of tectonic stress in the studied area. Computation results show two positive anomalies of stress directly related to the northwest-southeast faults numbered 2, 10, 11a, 11b and sub-latitude striking fault numbered 1.
