The China–Nepal Transportation Corridor is vital to the country’s efforts build a land trade route in South Asia and promote Ring-Himalayan Economic Cooperation Belt. Due complex geological structure topographical environment of Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, coupled with impact climate change, frequent occurrence disasters has increased operational difficulty Highway construction Railway. However, date, there been no systematic study spatial distribution landslides along entire within area, factors...
The continued increase in demand for food is such that flood-irrigation-based agricultural techniques are not expected to change the future. Consequently, cultivated areas dominated by river terraces experience neotectonic movements, catastrophes caused earthquakes trigger material liquefaction may continue occur. Among catastrophes, low-angle, ultra-long-distance landslides induced synergistic effects of tectonic and human activities events fully understood but can potentially be mitigated....
The construction of Longyangxia Reservoir has altered the hydrogeological conditions its banks. Infiltration and erosion caused by periodic rise fall water level leads to collapse reservoir banks local deformation landslide. Due heterogeneous topographic characteristics across region, also varies between different location. Previous research on influence fluctuations in landslide focused single-point monitoring specific slopes, data have often been used instead for entire region. In...
The study of the classification and failure modes Yellow River terrace landslides under influence irrigation projects is key importance to alleviate paradox between rapid evolution landscapes caused by survival local residents. However, such studies remain controversial, despite it being widely recognized that a rise in groundwater level factor associated with landslide modes. In this paper, we take Heitai as case study. Using aerial images field investigations, classify loess layer into...
Landslide exposes the previously blocked groundwater discharge. High concentrations of soluble salt form sinters that can be observed near discharge passages. Based on existing laboratory investigation results soil leaching and shearing reported in literature, effect loss via spring water irrigation-induced landslide deformation was studied under large-scale conditions. During our field landslides Heitai terrace Yellow River’s upper reaches Gansu Province, China, 35 outlets were found,...
