Experimental and discrete element numerical analysis of side slope instability induced by fissure water underlying impervious bed

1 Introduction The in situ observations and analysis on the landslide events indicate that water is one of the key factors which induce landslide of the mountain mass[1―8]. The mechanism offissure water inducing landslide can be generalized into three aspects: (1) the softening influence of water weakens the strength of materials on the slip surface[9―11]; (2) the cleft water pressure towards the slide slope free face increases sliding force[12―15]; (3) water pressure on the slip surface lo…     

Stochastic structural model of rock and soil aggregates by continuum-based discrete element method

Ancient slope[1], debris-flow deposit[2] and rock-filling dam[3] are usually made of rock and soil aggregates (RSA). The RSA is a typical inhomogeneous and discontinuous medium, and its main characteristics include: (i) loose piling up by blocks or particles, (ii) mixing of different blocks with a range of shapes and sizes, (iii) stochastic distribu- tion of blocks in space, (4) fillings often in between blocks. The mechanical properties of these rock and soil aggregates are commonly obtaine…     

Flume Experiment on Stream Blockage by the Debris Flow From Tributary

Stream blockage by the debris flow from tributary valleys is a common phenomenon in mountainous area,which takes place when large quantities of sediment transported by debris flow reaches a river channel causing its complete or partial blockage.The dam formed by debris flow may causes upstream and downstream flooding,and presents great threat to people and property.Because of the catastrophic influence on people and property,debris-flow dam has attracted many attentions from the researchers and local administration.But,lit- tle attention has been given to the quantitative interrelationships of the potential influential factors.In this pa- per,the interrelationships of important influential factors caused the stream blockage by debris flow were ana- lyzed through flume experiment,and a model to predict the blockage was presented.     

An Investigation of Stochastic Nature of Bed Load Motion in Chuanjiang River

Bed Load Motion and its transport rate is one of the basic issues in river dynamics.In this paper, the authors discussed the stochastic nature of bed load motion in Chuanjiang River in details.Chungjiang lies in the upstream reach of Yangtze River.Its stochastic nature is shown in the following four aspects.Firstly, even though all the conditions are the same,due to the fluctuation of the flow,the bed load discharge and the location and width of sediment transport belts are different.Secondly,during the process of bed load motion, pebbles show the strong nature of intermittence.Thirdly,the sediment discharges through upstream and down- stream reach are not equal,i.e.the pebble motion exists the discontinuity.Fourthly,annual mean transport rates of bed load for different stations are different and variation of transport rate of pebbles for a given station with year is large.The four aspects will be discussed one by one detailedly.     

Water target based cross-calibration of CBERS-02 CCD camera with MODIS data

The CBERS-02, the second satellite of China Brazil Earth Resources Satellite series, was launched on Oct. 21, 2002. Onboard the satellite, there are three major sensors, a CCD camera, a wide field imager and an infrared multispectral scanner (http://www. cresda.com). The purpose of this paper is to calibrate the CCD camera with a methodol- ogy of cross-calibration. The spatial resolution of the multispectal bands of CCD camera is 19.5 m, the swath is about 115 km. It is capable of side…     

Estimation of the resident’s additional dose in bone-coal mining areas of the five provinces

1 Introduction In the National Investigation of Natural Radioac-tive Levels (abbreviated as “investigation of levels” hereinbelow) during 1983 to 1990, it is found that the specific activities of radionuclides in bone-coal are relatively high. The increase of radioactive level in the environment and the rise of the public accepted dose might be caused by some artificial activities, which include mainly mining and utilizing spontaneously bone-coal by local peasants, producing bone-coal cind…     

抽油井真实液面测试技术研究及应用

当抽油井流压低于原油饱和压力时，环空中由于气体从油中分离出来而产生泡沫段，从而失去明显的油气界面，无法采用回声仪测试油井的真实液面，给流压计算带来了一定误差，造成了生产决策的失误，根据物质平衡方法设计的拟液面测试仪，通过测试油套环空排气和恢复时的压力梯度及排气量，并根据油井的油气比、含水率、气体比重进行修正，计算出环空拟气柱的高度，即油井真实液面。现场测试表明，该方法比回声仪测试法误差减少10％以上，能满足油井液面测试的需要。

Preparation and Photolunlinescence of Ordered ZnO Nanowire Arrays

Ordered ZnO nanowire arrays embedded in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes were fabricated by electrochemical deposition of Zn(NO3)2+H3BO3 solution in a boiling bath. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation results show that the polycrystalline ZnO nanowires with diameters around 100 nm were uniformly assembled into the ordered nanochannels of the AAO. The results of the investigation into photoluminescence (PL) and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements reveal that the interfaces between the ZnO nanowires and the pore walls of the AAO create a lot of oxygen vacancies, which are responsible for the green light emission (peaking around 512 nm) and the huge enhancement of the PL emission.
