There are many reports on the forming mechanism and control of landslide, but the studies on micromorphology of landslide soil are few. There are many potential landslides in the Three Gorges Region in China. In this paper, the micromorphologic features of the Jibazi landslide soil in Yunyang in the Three Gorges Region of the Yangtze River were studied using routine methods, that is, soil micromorphology, X-ray diffraetometer and scanning electron microscope. The main conclusions are as follow： （1） The basic micromorphologic characteristics of the landslide soil are that the fine soil particles are commonly cohesive matrix, finer and lower content of skeleton grains, the microstructures are mainly types of phenocrystal gelatinization, densely chap and fissure structure. As a result, these micromorphologic features affect the discharging of soil water, favor the movement of landslide body and provide an internal basis of materials for the formation of landslide. （2） The concept on the forming material of landslide was proposed, and types of optical beamed clay aggregates, Fe-Mn isolates and glassy material were found in landslide-belt soil, which were remarkably different from the natural soil formation, and had some scientific significance in analyzing the forming mechanism of landslide and distinguishing me landslide-belt soil. （3） Some special micromorphologic and sub-micromorphologic characteristics, such as fingerprint microstructure, clay beamed bedding microstructure, oppressive microstructure, moulage microstructure and extending hole microstncture, could bring useful micromorphologic evidences for the observation and forecasting of landslide. The results mentioned above will bring helpful micromorphologic evidences for distinguishing slide soil, analyzing the formation mechanism of landslide, and monitoring and forecasting the occurrence of landslide.展开更多

A plastic-damage model based on continuum damage mechanics, which includes the softening and damage behavior under tension is considered for the concrete material.

In this numerical model, the stiffness degradation in tension for concrete was considered on the basis of the continuum isotropic damage theory. Natural vibration frequencies of the damaged and undamaged structures were compared after static water pressure was applied. Then a study was further conducted on forced vibration of the powerhouse with pre-existing damages under pressure fluctuation that acts on the flow passage; displacement, velocity and acceleration of the important structural members were afterwards presented and checked. Numerical results show that tensile damages in concrete surrounding the spiral case only exert significant impact upon the dynamic characteristics of substructure but show little effect on the superstructure. Nevertheless vibrations of the powerhouse are still under the recommended vibration limits.展开更多
