2004, 10(1): 27-32.
Abstract (284) PDF (302KB)(16)
Abstract:
The danger level of geological hazards is a comprehensive reflection of the density of occurrence, extent of activity and frequency of occurrence of geological hazards.From this view, this paper discusses the structure of danger of geological hazards and method of its assessment. On that basis, the dangerous assessment and divisions of collapses, landslide and debris flows of geological hazards are made with counties (cities, districts and banners) and provinces (municipalities directly under the Central Government and autonomous regions) as the units, and the dangerous distribution and the law of regional changes of geological hazards are analyzed.

Abstract (216) PDF (232KB)(15)
Abstract:
Geological hazards along the section from Nyingchi to Baxoi of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway are especially severe and have seriously affected the safe riding along the highway. In order to prevent and reduce disasters effectively, regional geological hazards have been studied in the area on the basis of the field investigations and statistic analysis of available data. The results show the following three prominent characteristics of hazards in the area:in terms of distribution geologic hazards are close-spaced, have many types and are notably divided into sectors; loose Quaternary deposits of complex origin form the main material foundation of geological hazards; intense water-rock interaction and coupling of endogenic and exogenic forces are the important factors for the formation and occurrence of geological hazards in the area. This paper provides a scientific basis for the study of the mechanism of occurrence of the geological hazards in the area and measures for their prevention and control.
THEORETICAL ANALYSIS TO TWO CLASSIC LANDSLIDE PREDICTION MODELS: SAITO'S MODEL AND VOIGHT'S MODEL

Abstract (241) PDF (490KB)(13)
Abstract:
Based on the influence of the aging and strain rate of a sloping soil mass on the strength and deformation of the soil mass, as well as the observations of many landslides cases, it has been demonstrated that the mechanism for formation of most landslides can be explained by the deep creep theory. Before a landslide occurs, the creep rate of a soil mass increases with an increase of the factors responsible for the landslide. According to this theory, ones can set up an empirical equation between deformation and time for predicting the time of failure of a landslide. Two earlier typical models are the Saito's model and Voight's model. The author has dug out some newly discovered facts hidden in the two models and developed a generalized prediction model, which can be used to forecast a landslide more accurately. Differing from the Saito's graphic solution method, the author has presented a more convenient technique for estimating the parameters in the equations. The presented method allows the data to be fitted with the presented model and expressed in terms of displacement, through non-linear estimation techniques using the SPRESHEET application software, in order to find values of the controlling parameters(A, B, m, tf) suitable to represent the mechanical behavior of a large-scale landslide approaching the failure. A simple case study has confirmed the validity of both the presented generalized model and estimation technique through computing the deformation-time curve and defining the time limit or failure time value.

2004, 10(1): 51-56.
Abstract (120) PDF (245KB)(7)
Abstract:
The essence of the gray prediction model is to fit the known data sequence with an exponent form to a curve, and then extend the curve to the future in order to predict the unknown data. This paper establishes a GM(1,1) model for prediction of the horizontal displacement of the Huangtupo landslide.Actual application shows that the model is characterized by a high precision and wide applicability.

Abstract (154) PDF (294KB)(9)
Abstract:
The authors carried out the evaluation and study of the regional crustal stability and geological hazards in Xi'an City. A wealth of data was gained in geology, geophysical prospecting, surveying and model experiments. According to an analysis of these data and considering such factors as the endogenic and exogenic dynamic geological processes and medium conditions, six principal factors affecting the crustal stability in Xi'an City are selected as a system of the stability evaluation indicators and the fuzzy mathematic method is applied to make a regional crustal stability evaluation. The authors divide the crustal stability in Xi'an City into three grades, sub-unstable, relatively unstable and unstable, and ten areas. On that basis, some guidance suggestions for the urban construction and development plan in Xi'an City are put forward in this paper.

Abstract (132) PDF (352KB)(8)
Abstract:
The Jiawa Formation in the Jiawa Basin, Litang County, Sichuan Province, is a sequence of loose fluvio-lacustrine deposits about 300m deep.According to the magnetostratigraphic, the B M boundary is located at 157.0m depth in the middle part of the section and the Olduvai normal polarity chron is recorded at the bottom.According to Cande and Kent's polarity time scale, it can be inferred that the deposition of the Jiawa Formation stared at about 2.10 Ma BP and ended at about 0.10 Ma BP. On the basis of sporopollen analysis, the vegetation changed from subalpine conifer forest to alpine meadow, and the sedimentary environment varied from fluvial-lacustrine facies to alluvial facies.
