Abstract. A translational landslide comprised of nearly horizontal sandstone and mudstone interbeds occurred in the Ba River basin of the Qinba–Longnan mountainous area. Previous studies have succeeded to some extent in investigating the formation mechanism and failure mode of this type of rainfall-induced landslide. However, it is very difficult to demonstrate and validate the previously established geomechanical model, owing to lack of landslide monitoring data. In this study, we considered a translational landslide exhibiting an unusual morphology, i.e., the Wobaoshi landslide, which occurred in Bazhong, China. First, geological conditions of this landslide were determined through field surveys, and the deformation and failure mode of the plate-shaped main bodies were analyzed. Second, long-term monitoring was performed to obtain multiparameter monitoring data (width of the crown crack, rainfall, and accumulated water pressure in cracks). Finally, an equation was developed to evaluate the critical water height of the multistage bodies, i.e., hcr, based on the geomechanical model analysis of the multistage main sliding bodies, and the reliability of this equation was verified using long-term relevant monitoring data. Subsequently, the deformation and failure mode of the plate-shaped bodies were analyzed and investigated based on numerical simulations and calculations. Thus, the monitoring data and geomechanical model proved that the accumulated water pressure in cracks makes cracks open much wider and causes the plate-shaped bodies to creep. Simultaneously, an optimized monitoring methodology was proposed for this type of landslide. Therefore, these research findings are of reference significance for the rainfall-induced translational landslides in this area.
Abstract. The multidimensional and multi-sliding surface measurement of deep-seated displacement on landslides poses a significant technical challenge in landslide monitoring and early warning. The fixed-borehole inclinometer serves as an important measurement method based on drilling for this purpose. In this study, a novel flexible measurement array for deep-seated landslide displacement and its installation and measurement processes were developed, enabling higher accuracy in full-hole multidimensional deformation measurement. The measurement array consists of individual measurement probes as basic units, connected in series through coaxial cables and high-pressure rubber hoses, forming a flexible measurement array. Each probe is equipped with acceleration and magnetic field sensors, allowing for the measurement of borehole inclination and azimuth angles and providing a more comprehensive understanding of the deformation of deep-seated landslides. This flexible measurement array resolves the limitations of traditional fixed inclinometers, such as limited probe quantity or inaccurate installation positions that fail to reflect the deformation trend of the landslide body. Moreover, it eliminates the need for auxiliary installation accessories like pulleys and inclinometer pipes, simplifying the mechanical structure and installation process, which represents an advancement in methodology and an improvement in measurement techniques. This array provides a more comprehensive and improved monitoring tool for disaster prevention and mitigation, thereby enhancing the level of geological hazard monitoring and early warning technology.
Abstract. The observation and estimation of the deep crustal stress state is a key and difficult problem for in situ stress measurement. Using a borehole wall strain gauge based on the overcoring stress-relieving method is one of the main methods of in situ stress measurement. In this paper, a strain-sensing array based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is designed by using the main structure of the classical hollow inclusion cell, and its layout scheme on the hollow inclusion is studied. According to the layout scheme, the in situ stress inversion algorithm of hole wall strain to stress is deduced. Following this, the triaxial loading and unloading experiment platform is built, and the calibration experiment for the FBG strain sensor is designed. Finally, Abaqus finite element software is used to simulate the in situ stress measurement process of the overcoring stress relief. The FBG strain values of each measurement direction before and after the overcoring process are extracted, and the stress inversion equation is used to carry out the stress inversion. The comparison of the inversion results proved that the FBG strain sensor group is feasible and reliable. The quasi-distributed FBG sensor module designed in this paper can invert the three-dimensional in situ stress by measuring the hole wall strain, which places a theoretical and experimental foundation for the development and application of an FBG hole wall strain gauge. It makes up for the deficiency of the existing hole wall strain gauge based on a resistance strain gauge, provides direct and accurate observations for hole wall strain measurement, and has important practical value for the development of in situ stress measurement technology.
In light of the growing urgency surrounding energy and environmental concerns, this paper presents a two-layer iterative energy dispatch strategy tailored for a multi-energy-flow virtual power plant (VPP) operating within the distribution power grid. The proposed strategy unfolds in two key phases. First, it establishes an energy dispatch framework designed specifically for the multi-energy-flow VPP within the distribution power grid. Subsequently, it introduces an improved ant colony algorithm aimed at optimizing the output power of each VPP. In addition, the paper presents an optimization method for substation energy dispatch. This method uses a delay-aware consensus algorithm with the substation dispatch cost increment rate as the consensus variable, taking into account the communication delay between VPPs. Integrating a proportional–derivative (PD) control mechanism enhances the convergence speed of the delay-aware consensus algorithm and enables real-time energy dispatch of the multi-energy-flow VPP. The paper presents its conclusions by validating the efficacy of the proposed approach through simulation, thereby addressing the challenges and adapting to the shifting energy and environmental landscape.
