Based. on the theory of rock rheology and probability integral method, this study developed the superposltlOn model for the prediction and analysis of the ground dynamic subsidence in mining area of thick !oose layer. The model consists of two parts （the prediction of overlying bedrock and the prediction of thick loose layer）. The overlying bedrock is regarded as visco-elastic beam, of which the dynamic subsidence is predicted by the Kelvin visco-elastic rheological model. The thick loose layer is regarded as random medium, and the ground dynamic subsidence, is predicted by the probability integral model. At last, the two prediction models are vertically stacked in the same coordinate system, and the bedrock dynamic subsidence is regarded as a variable mining thickness input into the prediction model of ground dynamic subsidence. The prediction results obtained were compared w^th actual movement and deformation data from Zhao I and Zhao II mine, central China. The agreement of the prediction results with the. field measurements.show that the superposition model （SM） is more satisfactory and the formulae obtained are more effective than the classical single probability Integral model（SPIM）, and thus can be effectively used for predicting the ground dynamic subsidence in mining area of thick loose layer.展开更多

The analysis of the data ob-tained shows that the near-bed current speed within the Spartina alterniflora marsh was generally be-low 5 cm s-1,which was apparently smaller than on the adjacent bare flat (i.e. 5―30 cm s-1). The change in the near-bed current speed in response to the typhoon event was not significant within the S. al-terniflora marsh,but the current direction was influenced by the typhoon. The effect of the typhoon on the SSC was highly significant,with the SSC reaching 13 to 19 times the values on the bare flat or within the marsh under fair weather conditions; the near-bed SSC within the marsh was higher than on the bare flat,after the typhoon landed. The near-bed suspended sediment fluxes within the marsh and on the bare flat during the typhoon event were both enhanced,i.e.,4 times larger than under fair weather conditions. During the ebb,the bottom shear stress on the bare flat exceeded the critical shear stress for sediment motion for most of the ebb duration of the tide and,therefore,the bed sediment was eroding,with the erosion flux after the typhoon landed being around 2 to 3 times the value associated with fair weather conditions. In contrast,within the S. alterniflora marsh,the bottom shear stress was mostly lower than the critical shear stress for sediment motion,or lower than the critical shear stress for the maintenance of suspension; hence,the marsh surface was dominated by settling processes,with a settling flux during the typhoon being 3 to 6 times compared with the fair weather situations. The settling flux during the ebb was up to twice the magnitude for the flood. The comparison of sediment dynamic processes between the S. alterniflora marsh and the bare flat demonstrates that during the typhoon event the bare flat was dominated by erosion,whilst the presence of S. alterniflora favored the accretion of suspended sediment.展开更多
