Understanding the pore water pressure distribution in unsaturated soil is crucial in predicting shallow landslides triggered by rainfall,mainly when dealing with different temporal patterns of rainfall ***,the hydrological response of vegetated slopes,especially three-dimensional(3D)slopes covered with shrubs,under different rainfall patterns remains unclear and requires further *** address this issue,this study adopts a novel 3D numerical model for simulating hydraulic interactions between the root system of the shrub and the surrounding *** series of numerical parametric studies are conducted to investigate the influences of slope inclination,rainfall pattern and rainfall *** rainfall patterns(advanced,bimodal,delayed,and uniform)and two rainfall durations(4-h intense and 168-h mild rainfall)are considered to study the hydrological response of the *** computed results show that 17%higher transpiration-induced suction is found for a steeper slope,which remains even after a short,intense rainfall with a 100-year return *** extreme rainfalls with advanced(PA),bimodal(PB)and uniform(PU)rainfall patterns need to be considered for the short rainfall duration(4 h),while the delayed(PD)and uniform(PU)rainfall patterns are highly recommended for long rainfall durations(168 h).The presence of plants can improve slope stability markedly under extreme rainfall with a short duration(4 h).For the long duration(168 h),the benefit of the plant in preserving pore-water pressure(PWP)and slope stability may not be sufficient.

Due to the unclear distribution characteristics and causes of fluoride in groundwater of Mihe-Weihe River Basin(China),there is a higher risk for the future development and utilization of ***,based on the systematic sampling and analysis,the distribution features and enrichment mechanism for fluoride in groundwater were studied by the graphic method,hydrogeochemical modeling,the proportionality factor between conventional ions and factor *** results show that the fluorine content in groundwater is generally on the high side,with a large area of medium-fluorine water(0.5–1.0 mg/L),and high-fluorine water is chiefly in the interfluvial lowlands and alluvial-marine plain,which mainly contains HCO_(3)·Cl-Na-and HCO_(3)^(-)Na-type *** vertical zonation characteristics of the fluorine content decrease with increasing depth to the water *** high flouride groundwater during the wet season is chiefly controlled by the weathering and dissolution of fluorine-containing minerals,as well as the influence of rock weathering,evaporation and *** weak alkaline environment that is rich in sodium and poor in calcium during the dry season is the main reason for the enrichment of ***,an integrated assessment model is established using rough set theory and an improved matter element extension model,and the level of groundwater pollution caused by fluoride in the Mihe-Weihe River Basin during the wet and dry seasons in the Shandong Peninsula is defined to show the necessity for local management measures to reduce the potential risks caused by groundwater quality.

The main objective of this study is to optimize the fresh and strength properties of reactive powder concrete incorporated with industrial by-products like ultra-fine ground granulated blast furnace slag as cement substitute and added with coal bottom ash and recycled concrete fines as partial replacement of quartz sand by response surface methodology through design of experiment *** four responses namely slump,compressive strength(C-28),flexural strength(F-28),and split-tensile strength(S-28)after 28 days of curing period were *** statistical study on the reactive powder concrete includes the modeling of regression,normal probability plots,surface plot analysis,and optimization of process *** regression models of the considered responses(slump,C-28,F-28,and S-28)were *** results obtained from the analysis of variance(ANOVA)and Pareto chart were used to determine the statistical significance of the process *** influence of the variables on the responses was studied by means of the surface plot *** optimal proportion of the variables against the responses was obtained through optimization *** resulted regression equations were in the form of second-order polynomial equation and the prediction of strength properties was found to be in line with the experimental *** difference of proportion of variance indicated that only 0.43%,6.42%,5.15%,and 9.7%of deviations cannot be expressed by the *** ANOVA and Pareto charts represented the high significance and appropriateness of the linear term of slump response and the two-way interaction term of strength *** results of the optimization response revealed the optimal proportions of recycled concrete fines and coal bottom ash as 19.15%and 7.02%,respectively.
