Taking Nanliang Coal Mine thick seam spacing mining as the engineering background, aiming at the safety problem of dynamic rock pressure occurring when the lower coal seam is mined over the pillar of the overburden goaf, this paper studies the mechanism of rock pressure appearing when the working face crosses the pillar of the overburden goaf by means of physical similarity simulation experiment, theoretical analysis and field measurement. Based on the structure and movement characteristics of overlying strata crossing the coal pillar, the mechanical structure models of load calculation of coal pillar and failure and instability of key rock blocks are established respectively, and the resistance of support increases sharply when the coal pillar is located in the working face. Combining with the concrete conditions of the working face passing through the coal pillar, the measures for adjusting the inclination of the working face are proposed, and the field engineering application is carried out. The field monitoring results show that the prevention measures have obvious effect on preventing dynamic rock pressure during passing through coal pillars.

The paper develops an analytical method to design the plane arrangement of stabilising piles under spatial lateral load of 3D colluvial landslides with multilayer sliding masses. Firstly, an approach based on the geological map and binary Lagrange Interpolation method was presented to establish 3D landslide calculation models. The improved 3D limit equilibrium method was then proposed to calculate the stability coefficient and spatial distributed lateral load of landslide with multilayer sliding masses. And main sliding direction of 3D multilayer landslide can be determined by the developed principle of minimum potential energy. Moreover, through assuming the piles and soil as elastic transversely isotropic continuum medium, analytical approach was employed to accurately calculate the stress distribution of soil between adjacent piles; and the maximum pile spacing can be calculated. Finally, the reasonable arrangement of stabilising piles can be determined based on Monte-Carlo method and cost of all piles. The finite difference method was employed to validate the theoretical results through the case study of Bazimen landslide. And it is found that the proposed method for the design of piles' arrangement is economically beneficial compared with the traditional method on the premise of ensuring safety.

The Zigui basin is one of the most landslide-prone areas where thousands of landslides are distributed. Performing the landslide susceptibility mapping is a heated issue in the area. Whereas, whether the random selection of the landslides or non-landslides grid cells are reasonable in research of landslide susceptibility mapping is the existence problem nowadays. Based on the two step cluster (TSC) algorithm and the self-organizing mapping - random forest (SOM-RF) model, a novel hybrid model is proposed to overcome the above drawbacks in this study. Rough set (RS) theory is employed as an attribute reduction tool to identify the significant influencing factors of landslides, and SOM is used to produce a preliminary landslide susceptibility mapping. Two step cluster algorithm is applied in telling apart the most reasonable True-Positive (TP) from landslide grid cells in high-susceptibility zones and the False-Positive (FP) in low-susceptibility zones. Afterwards, the TP and FP are imported into the RF model as samples to produce the improved landslide susceptibility mapping. The proposed method is utilized to develop landslide susceptibility mapping in the Zigui basin. Compared with the susceptibility mapping produced by RF model, which selects landslides and non-landslides grid cells randomly, the results of TSC and SOM-RF model demonstrates to have the superior prediction skill and higher reliability in landslides susceptibility mapping.
