Identification of roof and floor lithology of coal measures strata based on double modes inversion method: a case of No.3 coal seam in Sihe mining area by Li Yuying, Liu Xiaoyan, Gu Jianying, Guo Jiacheng, Liu Zhongyuan, Fu Huiying

“…In order to improve the classification accuracy of No.3 coal seam roof and floor lithology in Sihe mine, the research of wave impedance and gamma ray pseudo acoustic impedance inversion method of dual mode identifications of coal bearing strata lithology of roof and floor were carried out to analysis well logging response characteristics of No.3 coal seam roof and floor lithology.The qualitative analysis results were used to find out the classifications of two kinds of parameters of roof and floor lithology, wave impedance and gamma ray.Combined with the data of No.3 coal seam in Sihe mining area, wave impedance natural gamma cross plot were used to find out the range of wave impedance and gamma quantitatively.Finally, the roof and floor lithology of common coal seam by wave impedance and natural gamma acoustic impedance double mode inversion method could be classified accurately.The results show that compared with the conventional impedance inversion method, the wave impedance and natural gamma pseudo acoustic impedance dual mode inversion method can accurately classify the top and bottom slate of coal seam.…”

Study on the disaster effect and prevention countermeasures of landslide in Zhouqu fault zone by Fuyun GUO, Xiaolong ZHOU, Feibiao HUO, Yi ZHANG

“…The results show that: (1) the landslide in the fault zone is mainly in a strip shape and dustpan shape; The sliding body and sliding bed are generally composed of slate, phyllite and rubble, and the sliding zone soil is pebbly clay; The landslide has the characteristics of multi-level and block activity, and the differential sliding characteristics of different blocks are significant; Landslide is generally slow sliding and has fluidity characteristics; Landslide has the characteristics of rainfall sensitivity, and the response of deep landslide to rainfall has obvious lag. (2) the disaster modes of landslides in fault zone are mainly creep, tension crack effect and impact push effect in the process of slow sliding, river blocking and flooding effect, extrusion erosion effect and social impact effect after sliding. (3) the landslide conditions are large and the treatment measures are difficult to get together. …”

Lithic technological strategies of Late Pleistocene hominins in the Daoshui River valley, Hunan province, central South China by Yiyuan Li, Hao Li, Alexandra Sumner, Jiafu Zhang

“…Technologically, high quality raw materials are predominantly exploited (e.g., chert and siliceous slate) and direct hard hammer percussion predominates which lacks the classic Levallois technology though conceptually, some specimens do exhibit a certain degree of volumetric control and share other common features with prepared cores, here we tentatively define them as “simply prepared cores.” …”

Study on 3D modeling method and reinforcement scheme of large and complex open-pit mine by Tao Zhigang, Ren Shulin, Pang Shihui, Xu Haotian, He Manchao

“…Large-scale topping deformation occurred in the southwest stope of Changshanhao Open-pit Gold Mine in Inner Mongolia.Through systematic investigation of the engineering geological conditions and rock mass structure types, the deformation characteristics and failure mechanism of the stope are studied in depth.Taking this project as an example, the 3DMine-FLAC^3D large-scale complex geological body high-precision coupling modeling method and modeling process are introduced in detail.Based on this, a slope reinforcement scheme with constant resistance and large deformation anchor cable is proposed, and a numerical simulation method is used to make a comparative study with the original support scheme.The research results show that the geological structure of the southwest stope is complex.Faults and joints are developed.The rock mass in the toppling area is mainly slate and schist with low bending strength, and small deformation anchor cables are used in the supporting structure, which cannot resist large slope deformation.The combined effect of these factors leads to the occurrence of dumping instability.The reinforcement scheme to constant-resistance and large-deformation anchor cables can effectively control the slope deformation and a better support effect is obtained.…”
