In addition, the geological environment of local mountainous areas in China is complex and diverse, and climate change is large. Considering the dynamic coupling effect of rainfall conditions to stimulate geological disasters, this paper takes dynamic risk assessment technology as the guide, constructs a dynamic risk early warning model of geological disasters, establishes a prototype system, realizes dynamic risk assessment and emergency early warning of geological disasters at the regional level, and provides feasible technical support for targeted emergency disaster prevention. At the same time, the investigation and evaluation, mechanism research and monitoring and early warning related to the comprehensive prevention and control of geological disasters are important tasks that cannot be ignored, an important link in the emergency response system for geological disasters, and a key stage process to guide scientific disaster prevention. On the basis of exploring the mechanism and catastrophic effect of rainfall to stimulate landslides and mudslides, we will carry out in-depth research on disaster prevention countermeasures such as systematic engineering disposal, monitoring and early warning.展开更多

This paperdiscussed the types, basic features, formation, and prevention conditions of road geologic hazards in China basedon field research and study data collected thus far. The study considered an urban area of a city in southwestChina as the center and a geological field investigation was performed over a total of 282 km on three importantlifeline projects. The results show: Types of geologic hazards along the highways are mainly avalanches, debrisflows, and landslides, respectively. Among them, the landslips are mainly distributed along the roads, with slip,dumping, and wrong break types as the main ones;the debris flows are widely distributed, mainly concentrated inthe river valleys;and the unstable slopes are relatively few in number. Geological disasters are characterized bylarge-scale and concentrated triggering in time and space, and a single disaster can easily trigger other disasters,thus forming a chain of disasters. Neotectonic movement, seismic activity, topography, climatic conditions,stratigraphic lithology, and human activities are important factors leading to geologic hazards in the study area.This study is of great practical significance for reducing the occurrence of roadbed diseases and prolonging theservice life of highways.展开更多
