Chapter 1. THE OVERVIEW OF RESEARCH ON MOVING ROCK AND SOIL ON SLOPE 1.1. Research situation in moving rock and soil on slope in over the world Research on moving rock and soil phenomenons were deployed reality in the 15 th to 18 th century, began to develope deeper and wider in the 19 th century and reached the peak in the 20 th century to nowadays. More notable are the works of Dranicov A.M,1949; Fukuoka M,1953; Popov I.V,1959; Sharpe C.F.S,1938; Terzaghi K,1950 ; Emelianova E.P,1972; Lomtadze V.D,1982; Seed B,2000 and so on…. And UN Organization are UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), UNODRR/ UNISDR (United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction/United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction), In addition to mention the allocation of landsilde slope positions, all scientists have forcused on elucidating mechanisms of movements, tophographical features, geological structures, hydrogeological conditions, engineering - economic operations and all elements which affected to the motivation and rules of arising moving rock and soil. 1.2. Research situations of moving rock on slope in Vietnam In Vietnam, the moving of rock on slope occurred popularity. In current years, there’re some research projects on the lanslide which were based on many different approachable pointviews. Notably that the projects of the Institute of Geology, Academy of Sciences of Geology and Mineral Resources, Institute of Science and Technology, Transportation, A number of typical research projects according the direction of geodynamics have been published 4 by the authors such as: Tran Trong Hue, Tran Tan Van (2006), Dau Van Ngo (2004), Nguyen Trong Yem (2006), Ta Duc Thinh (2007), Doan Ngoc Toan,… Some topics based on the viewpoints about systematic approaching and using GIS technology, specialized software to research on natural hazards such as: Nguyen Trong Yem, Nguyen Quoc Thanh, Pham Van Hung, The technical cooperation project between the Ministry of Transportation and JICA " The development of risk assessment technology by landslides along the main roads in Vietnam" by the Institute of Science & Technology Transport chaired and the project ”Investigation, assessment, zoning and warning the risk of landslide in the mountainous areas of Vietnam" (2012 - 2020), by the Academy of Sciences Geology and Mineral Resources chaired begun to be implemented, promises to provide convinced scientific arguments about landslide phenomenon along the main roads and in the mountainous areas of Vietnam. However, so far there have not been any research projects which weren’t systematic, detailed, not built into the database and mapping the warning map on landslide to proposite suitable preventive measures and reduce the damages were caused by moving rock in this area. The research project results will perfect the methodology as well as solving problems above. Chapter 2. NATURAL - TECHINICAL ENVIRONMENT FEATURES IN THE MOUNTAINOUS AREA FROM QUANG TRI TO THUA THIEN HUE 2.1. The features of climate regime and hydrology in research area 2.1.1. The features of climate regime Located in Tropical Belt of the Northern Hemisphere and inherited abundant radiation regime so that the temperature of the mountainous area from QT to TTH is very high, which is deeply effected by wet tropical monsoon climate regime with plentiful rainfall, the total of average rainfall per many years are about from 2200 to 3000 milimeters, somewheres are more 4000mm. The wet season in research area begin from the end of May to December (Huong Hoa, Kha Sanh with 2672,2 mm of rainfall, make up about 55 to 66% of rainfall per year. The largest daily rainfall gather on sept, oct, nov with 426,4 mm to 927,3 mm ( in A luoi, the rainfall reached 658 mm on September 29 th , 2009 ). In every years, there are from 4 to 8 rains extend from 2 days to 6 days, individual, somtimes can be 8 to 9 days with the popular rainfall ranger between 150 - 400 mm and 600 - 1125mm. Because the concentrated rainfall were large rainfall and high intensity of raining and occured frequently in several days so this’s the favorable time of frequently occuring the moving rock and soil strongly in the mountainous area from QT to TTH. 2.1.2. The features hydrology River basins in research area arn’t often wide, high standing degree, the river length is short and slope which changes abruptly when adjacent to plains. However, the river systems on research area are often far away from main road so that dont effect significantly to the moving rock and soil on slopes. 2.2 The geological structures in the mountainous area from QT to TTH 5 According to Geological and Mineral Map with scale 1:2000, the moutainous area from QT to TTH composed of sedimentary formations and sedimentaries, which are vocanic original, developed deversiflilly and distributed discontinoustly from Paleozoic Era to Kanozoic Era. Including 14 formations: (Nui Vu (NP-  1 nv), A Vuong ( 2 - O 1 av), Long Dai (O 3 - S 1 lđ), Dai Giang (S 2 - D 1 dg), Tan Lam (D 1 tl), Co Bai (D 2-3 cb), La Khe (C 1 lk), Bac Son (C - P bs), A Lin (P ? al), Cam Lo (P 2 cl), A Ngo (J 1 an), Mu Gia (K 2 mg), Neogene (N) and Quaternary (Q)), 10 instructive magma complexes (Hiep Duc PZ 1 hd), Nui Ngoc (GbPZ 1 nn), Dieng Bong (GPZ 1 db), Tra Bong (D i - GD i O- Stb), Dai Loc (G a D 1 Ddl), Ben Giang - Que Son (GD i-G PZ 3 bg- qs), Chaval (Gb a T 3 cv), Hai Van (G a T 3 hv), Ba Na (GE 2 bn), Mang Xim (SyE 2 mx) ), which have the different lithological composition, intersperesed distribution in small territory and diversifilly manifestations of geo - environment. However, the moving rock and soil on slope are not arisen at 24 units of formation and occured mainly in intrusion magma formation, metamorphism rock, sedimentary rock which have original of land, have lithological composition of multi-mineral, features of structure and architecture which could be whethered and intensitive to the moving of rock and soil as following: complexes of instrusion like Ben Giang - Que Son and Hai Van complexes, and A Vuong formation, Long Dai formation, A Lin formation, Tan Lam formation and more something else. 2.3. Wheathered features and mechanical propeties of rock which composed by zone and sub-zone of weathering The mountainous areas from QT to TTH have complicated geological structures and varied lithological composition of bedrock (sedimentary rock, magma and metamorphism) containing up to 20-98% minerals easily weathered. In addition, the abundance of tropical moisture regime, monsoon increases the speed of the chemical reactions, this is a favorable environment for the moving rock and soil arise with diffirent scale and intensities. The deeper penetration of the weathering factors should be limited as the level of weathering decreases, make the weathered rock (weathering crust) have the zonation clearly in depth and presence of weathering tropical, sub- weathering tropical: edQ, IA 1 , IA 2 , IB, IIA, IIB which with mechanical properties decrease as weathering intensity while the empty void ratio increase with the extents of weathering. In saturated state, the compression resistance strength of rock and the shear resistance strength of soil reduce significantly from their natural state and reverse. The increase in unit weight of soil and decrease the shear parameters (φ, c) of the water-saturated soil causes the arising weathered rock slide on the slope of roads, the large foundation pit, 2.4. Hydrogeological features in research area Starting from the perspective impact of groundwater as one of the main reasons caused the slope geological disasters, especially landslides and rock. Underground water appeared and move swepty under moutainous slope which caused incrise unit weight, reducing shear resistance force of rock, creating hydrostatic pressure (Aw) and hydrodynamic pressure (Dw) to reduce resistances sliding force, increase dynamic force, that are decrease the stable index, causing structural landslide on slope. On the basis of field surveys, identifying the flow of arteries, pumping documents, water injection tests in a number of drill holes, the author did not stratify Hydrogeology and descrision the 6 hydrogeological stratum units by traditional hydrogeological territorical method which generalize traditionally the hydrogeological features follow the plentiful of water as: group of Hydrogeological complex in fissures- poor water seams, Fissure - poor water seams, which added water average level water containing, fissure - seams, cracks rich water; Fissure - karst - a rich seam of water. 2.5. Topographical - geomorphological features and vegetation cover of the reearch area 2.5.1. Topographical - geomorphological features The research mountainous topography has stepped structure quite clearly: The medium mountains in the West, the lower mountains interspersed between the hills and valleys in the middle and small - narrow strip plains in the East. Typical topographical forms following: medium block mountainous terrain, tectonics - denudation, lower tectonic - denudation mountainous topographical structure, Karst denudation mountainous terrain, mountainous terrain before erosion and denudation. Howerver, through field surveys showed that almost the points of moving rock and soil occured strongly in medium block tectonic - denudation mountainous terrain have absolutly height from 500 meters to 800 meters, more than 800 meters, the forest coverage up to 70 - 80%, highly slope with popular from 26 degrees to 45 degrees, deeply division from 300 to 500 meters per square kilometer. 2.5.2. Vegetation cover The mountainous area from QT to TTH has a rate of coverage is high compared with the country, make up from 20% to 80% (Huong Hoa, D’Krong, Huong Thuy, Phu Loc, A Luoi, Nam Dong), but it’s not equal ( follow some statistic datas of Forest Inventory and Planning Institute). Through field surveys showed that moving rock and soil phenomenon occur in many places of the research area, concentrated mainly in Huong Phung commune, Huc Nghi commune, Ta Rut commune, A Ngo commune, Hong Thuy commune and A Roang commune and once of main causes is deforestation for wood, burning forest for agriculture and growing industrial trees along to slope in research area. The deforestation, burining forest created the denuded sloping, reduce the rate of forest cover lead to rapid increase moving rock and soil process. 2.6. Economic - construction operations Economic - construction operations include specific trait, prominent and influential to the moving of rock and soil on slope (building road, deforestation, ). These activities made slope and height have been overcome their stable limit that created favorable condition for formation of weak points, increase the driving forces, reducing amount of slip; And led to the slopeslide when the slip factor was enhanced. In Specifically, because the activities of selecting the route and construction surveys were less suitable for stability slope conditions, slope territory construction; garbled slopes, construction of highly and steepy slope that were mainly factors caused the landslide on slope of road; Deforestation and Burning forest for agriculture are becoming a significant cause of landslides on slope; lanslides and slope of construction were loading by the increase in slip force, building the instability slope processing projects which are unreasonable about forms, insufficient quantity, quality, solidly and the risk of slope failures were created on roads, 7 CHAPTER 3. RESEARCH ON THE PROCESSES OF MOVING ROCK AND SOIL ON SLOPE IN THE MOUTAINOUS AREAS FROM QUANG TRI TO THUA THIEN HUE 3.1. Current status of moving rock and soil on slope in research area Through seven field surveys (November,2008; January,2009; October,2009; May,2010; February,2011; November to December,2013; January, 2014), along with documents of the remote sensing image analysis saw that in the mountainous areas in research had 420 points of the moving rock and soil on slope and sloping roof. In particular, sloping roof on the road, including construction had 381 points ( about 90,71%) and slope had 31 points (about 9,29%), specifically as following: 3.2 Causes and arising conditions of the moving rock and soil on slope 3.2.1. Arising conditions of the moving rock and soil on slope The causes of the moving rock and soil on slope and sloping roof are dynamic affecting factors, natural or artificial, including the primary causes (directly) and secondary causes (indirectly). Table 1. The main traffic routes from Quang Tri to TT - Hue Order Locations Sloping Roofs Slopes 1 Highway No.9 and nearly mountainous are 16 1 2 Vinh Khe - Cam Lo (West part of HCM highway) 9 3 3 The West branch of HCM highway from Quang Tri to TT- Hue 322 26 4 Highway No.49 and nearly mountainous area 19 4 5 Highway No.49B and neighboring areas 8 1 6 Highway No.1A and neighboring areas 7 2 Total 381 39 420 3.2.1.1. Economic - engineering construction activities Economic - engineering activities such as a main cause including operations as mutilation on slope, the newly buiding and expanded of old traffic routes that made sloping roof degrees were more higher than natural status; The breaking balanced status of slopes; The slide forces were more larger than resistance slide forces leading to the moving of rock and soil occured completely on slopes and sloping roofs, which were shown at sub-section 2.6. 3.2.1.2. Impacts of rainwater and underground-water Heavy rains with high intensity, lasted will create large surface flows that caused the eroison of slopes and sloping roofs, big flow dynamic will form many collaped blocks, landslide, rockfall with different scales. Especially, the debris flow reduce the linkages of the cornerstone with rock mass surrounding. Rainwater and underground water increases significantly the natural volumetric massof rock and 8 soil from 1.79 - 1,99 g/cm 3 in dry seasonand in the wet season it can be reached 1.87 - 2,05 g/cm 3 . Besides, these two parameters, which are φ and C of wreak slope soil, declined strongly; In natural state, φ = 20 - 25 0 and C = 0.23 - 0.30 kG/cm 2 and in water-saturated, φ = 18 - 22 0 and C = 0.14 - 0.25 kG/cm 2 . When affected by increasing volumetric mass, reducing shear resistance forces, hydrostatic pressures and hydrodynamic pressures, the stability coefficient of sliding reduced (MD) abruptly (η <1) so that MD is instable, lanslide occured powerfuly. 3.2.1.3. Wheathering The wheathering reduced belf of wheathering parameters are C and φ. Specifically, the value of C and φ of wheathering rock from medium to light, fresh material of some formations, complexs as follow: C = 65-248 kgf /cm 2 , φ = 35 - 49 0 . But the rock of these formations is wheathred completely into kind of clay, the value of C decline, this time C = 0,19 - 0,32 kG/cm 2 and φ = 23 - 28 0 , that caused the unstablity of slope and sloping roof in research area. 3.2.1.4. Techtonics Movement Neo - techtonic movement is the process of lifting and lowering to the rhythm. This is the deciding factor should be the topography level distribution. The moving rock and soil in the mountainous from QT to TTH occured in strongly lifting neo - techtonic areas where have systematic actively techtonic faults as: Rao Quan - A Luoi, Linh Thuon - Huong Lap, Huong Lap - Vinh Chap; Deeply faults as: Dakrong - A Luoi; Route No.14 ’s fault; And Ta Lao - Van Xa - Hue, Quang Tri - Hue - Phu Loc, etc. 3.2.2. Development Condition of moving rock and soil on slope and sloping roof The Conditions are static and natural influencing factors which can support or constrain the process of moving rock and soil on slope and sloping roof. 3.2.2.1. Lithological composition, structure of rock and soil As for the slope and sloping roof are composed mainly from the geological formations, which be rich in rock and layer structure, contain containing many minerals susceptible to weathering turned into soil type of macadam clay soil, blocks - distribute on a large scale and thickness is about over 15 meter. These are the favorable environment for massively arising of landslide with different scales and most intensity (367 slip points, about 87.4%). Wheathering soil from intrusive magmatic rocks also occur landslide, but less than, (53 points which accounted for 12.6% of the total slip points) which have just been encountered on the Ho Chi Minh highway in the section from Sa Mui pass to A Roang commune. For the wheathering soil from other bedrock found little slip phenomenon. 3.2.2.2. Features of destructive tectonic faults Features of destructive tectonic faults are the type of destruction enclosed the form of fragmentation, moving fragmentary parts which can be broken by geological formations, That means the precondition for the arising and development of the gravity shifting soil in areas which have high intricate and re-operation fault systems as Vinh Linh - Hai Lang fault system and Rao Quan - A Luoi fault system), The capable of arising and implicit risk of landslide when the rock is fragmentary, undrain , uncohension and the mechanic properties of [...]...
