The shaking table test of a tunnel crossing the hauling sliding surface is carried out. The MIa evaluation index considering the natural frequency characteristics of earthquakes is proposed. The plastic effect coefficient evaluation index considering the plastic effect of the lining under an earthquake is proposed.

Reservoir landslide is a common geological disaster during the operation of hydropower projects. The fluctuation of reservoir water level is an important factor that induces slope instability. The natural slope will gradually lose stability under the rapid rise and fall of reservoir water level. A variety of landslide examples show that, on the premise

Physical Modelling of Rainfall‐Induced Sandy and Clay‐Like Slope Failures
Small‐scale slope modelling was performed to evaluate the failure process of a landslide triggered by artificial rainfall. The model platform 2.3 m long, 1.0 m wide, and 0.5 m deep was used to build small‐scale slope models with the same geometric conditions but different soil types/materials, including sand and two sand‐kaolin mixtures with the same ...

The instability of high rock slopes with tunnel structures increases under the effects of earthquakes and rainfall. Limited studies have been conducted on the long‐term effect analysis of high rock slopes with tunnels. Field electrical measurements on rock slopes have been conducted to study the response of high rock slopes with large cross‐section ...

Comparison between observed and predicted landslide areas in log scale. ABSTRACT This study aims to establish a regional model for predicting seismic landslide areas. Using the 2013 Minxian earthquake‐induced landslide database as the research foundation, mathematical statistics and GIS techniques were applied to predict landslide areas through the ...

Abstract The Ilyak fault in Tajikistan is an E‐W striking strike‐slip fault, which forms the northern boundary of the actively deforming Tajik Basin fold and thrust belt. Determining the activity of the Ilyak fault is important for understanding the hazard to the nearby capital city of Dushanbe, and more generally in assessing the role of lithology in ...

ABSTRACT We combine previous studies, fieldwork, lidar data, and trenching to examine late Quaternary activity of the SE‐dipping ≥23 km long Settlement Fault in the southeastern South Island. Trenching of a scarp crossing a small alluvial fan exposed a > 3 m thick sequence of folded sandy to silty fan alluvium.

Tectonics, geology and origins of Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia
ABSTRACT Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia is a 95% submerged, five million square km southern hemisphere continent that includes the islands of New Zealand and New Caledonia. For the last 45 million years (Ma) Zealandia has been cut by the Pacific‐Australian plate boundary which today changes character from a west‐dipping subduction zone in the north to ...

Rupture of the 1949 Khait Earthquake on a Cryptic Fault: Implications for Earthquake Hazard
Abstract The 1949 Mw 7.6 Khait earthquake, Tajikistan, was one of the most destructive of the Pamir—Tien Shan region, killing over 7,000 people by building collapse and landsliding. It occurred at the transition between the Pamir and Tien Shan mountain ranges, which converge along the narrow Vashkh river valley.
