[Method] After the large debris flows happened on August 7, 2010 in Zhouqu, Gansu Province, we collected data at the first time after the disaster, and then built an assessment model to estimate the potential economic losses. [Result] The total loss reached 16.57×10^2 million Yuan, in which indirect economic loss was up to 2.42×10^2 million yaun while the actual direct economic loss was around 14.15×10^2 million Yuan. [Conclusion] The proportional coefficient method is a rapid and efficient method for evaluating the indirect loss caused by disasters.展开更多

In-stream large woody debris (LWD) in two segments of the river channel was investigated with base diameter, top diameter, length, and decay class. To study relationship between in-stream LWD and adjacent riparian forest, species of each log of LWD in segment 1 was identified, and the riparian forest was examined by setting a 32m?4 m quadrat consisting of twelve 8m?m small quadrats. The results showed that, in segment 1, in-stream LWD loading was 1.733 m3/100m or 10.83 m3hm-2, and in segment 2, it was 1.709m3/100m or 21.36 m3hm-2. In-stream LWD in decay class III and IV were accounted for a high proportion, which was different from that in the broadleaved and Korean pine forest, and the possible reason might be different decomposing velocities due to different decomposing conditions. Logs of LWD in stream and living trees in riparian forest declined as diameter increased, and it was in a reverse J-shaped distribution except logs of LWD in segment 1 in the first diameter class. Volumes of LWD in stream and living trees in riparian forest increased as diameter increased, and it was in a typical J-shaped distribution. Loading and species component of in-stream LWD were correlative to status of riparian forest to a certain extent, and there also existed difference. Comparing the correlation and difference was helpful to study on dynamic of the riparian forest.展开更多

文摘Recently,significant progress has been made in conceptually describing the dynamic aspects of coarse particle entrainment,which has been explored experimentally for open channel flows.The aim of this study is to extend the application of energy criterion to the low mobility aeolian transport of solids(including both natural sediment and anthropogenic debris such as plastics),ranging from incomplete(rocking)to full(rolling)entrainments.This is achieved by linking particle movements to energetic flow events,which are defined as flow structures with the ability to work on particles,setting them into motion.It is hypothesized that such events should impart sufficient energy to the particles,above a certain threshold value.The concept’s validity is demonstrated experimentally,using a wind tunnel and laser distance sensor to capture the dynamics of an individual target particle,exposed on a rough bed surface.Measurements are acquired at a high spatiotemporal resolution,and synchronously with the instantaneous air velocity at an appropriate distance upwind of the target particle,using a hot film anemometer.This enables the association of flow events with rocking and rolling entrainments.Furthermore,it is shown that rocking and rolling may have distinct energy thresholds.Estimates of the energy transfer efficiency,normalized by the drag coefficient,range over an order of magnitude(from about 0.001 to 0.0048 for rocking,up to about 0.01,for incipient rolling).The proposed event-based theoretical framework is a novel approach to characterizing the energy imparted from the wind to the soil surface and could have potential implications for modelling intermittent creep transport of coarse particles and related aeolian bedforms.

文摘Rainstorm-induced flood hazards in mountainous areas often result in complex cascading effects by interacting with environmental and human systems.However,traditional studies typically categorize them simply as clearwater floods or debris floods/flows,overlooking their evolutionary characteristics and compound impacts.This study presents a novel classification-based approach to investigate the formation and destructive mechanisms of a catastrophic composite disaster of flash flood and debris flow in the Dayao Gully(DYG)catchment in Hanyuan County,Sichuan Province,China.The event resulted in 14 fatalities,25 missing persons,and extensive infrastructure damage.Through comprehensive field investigations and multi-method analysis,three distinct disaster zones were identified with different magnitudes and impacts:(1)a clearwater flood disaster region with minimal geomorphological changes under a 5-year return period rainfall;(2)a debris flood disaster region triggered by a 30-year return period rainfall,leading to intense sediment transport with a total deposit volume of 52,511 m^(3);and(3)a sediment-induced flood disaster region characterized by significant riverbed aggradation and infrastructure destruction due to sediment-induced blockage effects.The results reveal that the cascading characteristics of this composite disaster were primarily driven by intense rainfall,enhanced sediment transport motivated by supracritical shear stress,and interactions with human infrastructure(e.g.,bridges and buildings).This classification-based approach provides a quantitative assessment of spatial characteristics of cascading flood disasters,offering new insights into their evolutionary characteristics and highlighting the necessity for targeted disaster mitigation strategies in sedimentprone mountainous regions.

文摘The mechanism involved in deep-seated landslide-debris flow disaster chains has been studied for many years,however,it is still not completely understood.This study aims to analyze the key factors that were involved and led to the geological disaster of Shaziba 62.0 m deep landslide-debris flow.Two extensive field investigations were conducted before and after the slope failure event.The study further used drilled cores,high-density resistivity method,and aerial photographs to obtain valuable insights into the disaster chain.It was found that opencast coal mining operations broke the locked segment of the front edge and heavy rainfall softened the slip zones along the faults.Mechanical calculations demonstrated that the coupling condition of the opencast coal mining and heavy rainfall triggered the landslide.A new evolution model was put forth to describe the complex mechanism of combining progressive retreat and tractive failure of hydraulic drive landslide,which was governed by the bedding-plane rock layer.Surface runoff caused the mass of the landslide to liquefy throughout the sliding process,resulting in overlapping deposits,debris-flow-barrier-lake,and erosion.These new insights led to the indication of a different triggering mechanism of landslides-debris flows,as well as laid the foundation for the proposed physical and mechanical mechanism model based on progressive retreat soil-rock mixed landslides with an upper locked segment and lower weak interlayer under heavy rainfall.

文摘Benefit evaluation of debris flow prevention and control projects was one of the essential contents of debris flow prevention and mitigation work.In order to scientifically and quantitatively evaluate the comprehensive benefit of debris flow prevention and control projects,this study identified nine factors as evaluation indicators from economic,social,and ecological aspects.The projection pursuit(PP) model based on the improved particle swarm optimization(IPSO) algorithm was used to construct a mathematical model to evaluate the benefit of debris flow prevention and control projects.The interpolation method was applied to divide the benefit grades.The debris flow prevention and control projects in Qipan,Taoguan,Chutou,Anjia,and Mozi gullies in Wenchuan County were chosen as typical cases for empirical analysis.The case study revealed that,among the criteria layer indicators,investment per unit of the protected area,investment per unit of the protected population,the amount of water and soil conservation,and reduction rate of accumulation fan had the most significant weights.The social and ecological benefits were found to be the more important in the target layer.The comprehensive benefit of Qipan,Taoguan,Chutou,Anjia,and Mozi gullies was found to be 4.44,4.83,1.95,3,and 2,respectively.The benefit ranking of the five gullies was consistent with their effectiveness in disaster prevention ranking in the flood season of 2019.Therefore,it could prove that the newly-built benefit evaluation model was practical and feasible,and the evaluation results of the sample could be reasonably interpreted,which verified the effectiveness of the methods.

文摘Coarse woody debris(CWD) plays a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity in forest ecosystems by supporting habitat complexity and influencing soil properties.This study investigates the effects of CWD on gastropod diversity within managed spruce(Picea abies) forests in the Czech Republic,comparing results to nearby nature reserves(NRs).Gastropod species richness and composition were evaluated at both plot(50 m×50 m) and mesohabitat scales across gradients of CWD and beech(Fagus sylvatica) tree representation.Our results indicate significantly reduced species richness in managed forests(median 7 species per plot) compared to NRs(median15 species),attributed to lower soil pH,calcium availability,and moisture due to the dominance of spruce and the limited availability of CWD.Species richness was positively influenced by CWD volume,with two amounts identified:a minimum of 4 m^(3)·ha^(-1) to prevent significant biodiversity loss and 20 m^(3)·ha^(-1)to support sensitive and dendrophile species.At the within-plot scale,CWD was the species richest mesohabitat,playing a particularly important role in acidic and nutrient-poor environments.Furthermore,beech basal area positively correlated with species richness,mitigating the negative impact of spruce.The findings highlight the critical need for changes in forest management,including increased retention of CWD and integration of deciduous trees,to support biodiversity in intensively managed forests.These measures are particularly urgent given the susceptibility of spruce monocultures to climate change and pest outbreaks.Gastropods,as sessile indicators of environmental change,may serve as effective umbrella species for conservation efforts targeting forest soil biodiversity.

文摘The increasing accumulation of space debris threatens the integrity and functionality of satellites and complicates orbital operations.This paper constructs an advanced rigid-flexible coupling dynamic model for tethered satellite systems,tailored to enhance space debris management.Utilizing the nodal position finite element method,the model significantly improves the precision of simulating tether dynamics and captures the complex interactions involving satellite and debris attitude dynamics.This advancement allows for detailed examination of potential tether entanglements and provides crucial data for optimizing deorbiting processes.To overcome the limitations of conventional control techniques,a robust adaptive sliding mode control strategy is developed.This approach is specifically designed to manage the unpredictable conditions of the low-Earth orbit and ensure precise satellite attitude control,critical for successful debris removal.Validated through extensive numerical simulations,our model and control strategy demonstrate substantial improvements in operational reliability and safety,significantly enhancing the success rate of deorbiting missions.

文摘This study embarks on an explorative investigation into the effects of typical concentrations and varying particle sizes of fine grits(FG,the involatile portion of suspended solids)and fine debris(FD,the volatile yet unbiodegradable fraction of suspended solids)within the influent on themixed liquor volatile suspended solids(MLVSS)/mixed liquor suspended solids(MLSS)ratio of an activated sludge system.Through meticulous experimentation,it was discerned that the addition of FG or FD,the particle size of FG,and the concentration of FD bore no substantial impact on the pollutant removal efficiency(denoted by the removal rate of COD and ammonia nitrogen)under constant operational conditions.However,a notable decrease in the MLVSS/MLSS ratio was observed with a typical FG concentration of 20 mg/L,with smaller FG particle sizes exacerbating this reduction.Additionally,variations in FD concentrations influenced both MLSS andMLVSS/MLSS ratios;a higher FD concentration led to an increased MLSS and a reduced MLVSS/MLSS ratio,indicating FD accumulation in the system.A predictive model for MLVSS/MLSS was constructed based on quality balance calculations,offering a tool for foreseeing the MLVSS/MLSS ratio under stable long-term influent conditions of FG and FD.This model,validated using data from the BXH wastewater treatment plant(WWTP),showcased remarkable accuracy.

文摘In this paper,a new mission model,called a multi-debris active removal mission with partial debris capture strategy,is proposed.The model assumes that a platform only captures part of the scheduled debris at a time and then releases these debris pieces to a disposal orbit.This process is then repeated until all of the scheduled debris is removed.A genetic algorithm with a multiparameter concatenated coding method is designed to optimize the plan of a multi-debris active removal mission with a partial debris capture strategy.A set of six pieces of debris and a set of 10 pieces of debris are selected to demonstrate the proposed planning method.The result confirms the effectiveness of the genetic algorithm with the multi-parameter concatenated coding method.The new mission model provides a more comprehensive decision-making framework than the existing mission models and makes it possible to further decrease mission costs.

文摘To characterize and recognize the debris flow-related deposits,the physico-mechanical performance of four deposits from the Dongyuege(DYG),Shawa(SW),Jiangjia Gully(JJG),and Gengdi(GD)debris flows in southwest China is investigated through laboratory analyses and tests.The four debris-flow materials can all be remolded into coherent,homogeneous cylinders with high densification and strength–porosity of 25%-36%,mean pore-throat radius of 0.46-5.89μm,median pore-throat radius of 0.43-4.28μm,P-wave velocity of 800-1200 m/s,modulus of elasticity of 28-103 MPa,unconfined compressive strength(UCS)of 220-760 kPa,and cohesion of 65-281 kPa.Based on the comparison in slurryability and formability among debris-flow deposits,granular flow deposits,fluvial deposits,residual lateritic clay and loess,whether a sediment can be cast into competent cylinders for physico-mechanical tests can be regarded as a diagnostic evidence of old debris-flow deposits.The discrepancy in physico-mechanical properties among the four debris-flow deposits suggests that the combination of foregoing physico-mechanical parameters can characterize assembling characteristics of debris flow-related sediments including grain size distribution,mineralogy,and accidental detritus.Four deposited sediments above can be surprisingly classified as hard soil-soft rocks according to UCS,and the hard soil-soft rock behaviors can advance the further understanding of debris flows.

文摘[Objective] The aim of this study was to evaluate the economic loss caused by Zhouqu debris flow. [Method] After the large debris flows happened on August 7, 2010 in Zhouqu, Gansu Province, we collected data at the first time after the disaster, and then built an assessment model to estimate the potential economic losses. [Result] The total loss reached 16.57×10^2 million Yuan, in which indirect economic loss was up to 2.42×10^2 million yaun while the actual direct economic loss was around 14.15×10^2 million Yuan. [Conclusion] The proportional coefficient method is a rapid and efficient method for evaluating the indirect loss caused by disasters.

文摘This study was conducted in Erdaobaihe River passing through the broadleaved and Korean pine forest located on the north slope of Changbai Mountain. In-stream large woody debris (LWD) in two segments of the river channel was investigated with base diameter, top diameter, length, and decay class. To study relationship between in-stream LWD and adjacent riparian forest, species of each log of LWD in segment 1 was identified, and the riparian forest was examined by setting a 32m?4 m quadrat consisting of twelve 8m?m small quadrats. The results showed that, in segment 1, in-stream LWD loading was 1.733 m3/100m or 10.83 m3hm-2, and in segment 2, it was 1.709m3/100m or 21.36 m3hm-2. In-stream LWD in decay class III and IV were accounted for a high proportion, which was different from that in the broadleaved and Korean pine forest, and the possible reason might be different decomposing velocities due to different decomposing conditions. Logs of LWD in stream and living trees in riparian forest declined as diameter increased, and it was in a reverse J-shaped distribution except logs of LWD in segment 1 in the first diameter class. Volumes of LWD in stream and living trees in riparian forest increased as diameter increased, and it was in a typical J-shaped distribution. Loading and species component of in-stream LWD were correlative to status of riparian forest to a certain extent, and there also existed difference. Comparing the correlation and difference was helpful to study on dynamic of the riparian forest.
