[Journal Article]LYU Haohua-Opencast Mining Technology2025, No.06

Abstract:In order to study the influence of rainfall infiltration on the stability of loess slopes in open-pit coal mines,based on existing geological data,survey results,limit equilibrium theory and numerical simulation research methods,the article carries out stability calculation and analysis of loess slopes under multiple factors.By using Seep/W module to simulate the slope after rainfall infiltration,the article studies the distribution of pore water pressure inside the slope after rainfall infiltration,reveals the deformation and failure law of loess slope.The results show that the overall pore water pressure is highest in the upper loess layer,mainly due to the fact that the loess layer is a water conducting layer.After rainfall infiltration into the slope,the internal porosity is not dense,and surface water gradually flows down through the internal pores.The infiltration line gradually increases,and the overall stability of the upper slope decreases,leading to a decrease in the overall stability of the slope and easy occurrence of overall sliding.

Research on dynamic identification of the starting point of landslide acceleration in different time windows
[Journal Article]DING Hui-Opencast Mining Technology2025, No.06

Abstract:To study the dynamic identification rules of the starting point of landslide acceleration under different time windows,based on the characteristics of the uniform deformation stage in the three-stage creep deformation theory,the hypothesis testing method was applied to dynamically identify the critical moment point between the uniform stage and the acceleration stage.The influence of different time windows on the identification of the starting point of acceleration deformation was investigated.Combined with the case of landslide early warning,the effect of the identified acceleration moment point on the prediction of landslide time using the reciprocal of speed model was discussed.The results show that the hypothesis testing method can effectively determine the critical moment point between the uniform and acceleration stages of creep deformation.Different time windows have certain adaptability to the identification of the starting point of acceleration,and a larger time window cannot obtain an effective starting point of acceleration.When applying the landslide prediction model to predict the landslide time,the data after the acceleration moment point determined by using a smaller time window is more accurate for prediction.
