Retrospect and Prospect of Existing Problems and Scientific Planning in Macau Marine Space by YANG Jing, SHUI Bing, NI Mingxuan

“…The Macao Special Administrative Region is located at the outlet of the Pearl River.It is a typical beach land.It has expanded from 2.78 km² in 1840 to more than 32 km² at present.All the land is reclaimed from the sea.It is one of the regions with the highest proportion of land reclamation in the world.By reviewing the history of land reclamation in Macao Special Administrative Region,examining the current situation of water quality and excavating the existing problems of sea area development,this paper puts forward that it is necessary to establish a unified administrative structure in charge,strengthen pollution control,improve rain and sewage diversion treatment and discharge capacity,establish a pollution discharge permit system,promote regional legal cooperation and linkage law enforcement,and build a data platform.To achieve multi-party data fusion and other measures,so as to realize the advance planning of the sea area and scientific decision-making,so as to generate into the sea,improve the disaster resistance capacity of flood control and moisture-proof in the Macao Special Administrative Region,and better serve the development of the sea area and diversified economic construction of the Macao Special Administrative Region.…”

Influence of Goaf Location on Deformation of High-steep Hard Rock Slope by JI Lan, ZHAO Jianjun, WAN Xun, LI Qingmiao, WU Enge

“…Underground mining is one of the factors affecting slope deformation,and goaf location affects the degree of such deformation.In this paper,we summarize the structural characteristics of three mining slopes and corresponding goaf location,take the Yongsheng coal mine as the research object,and simulate the formation of the goaf during two times of mining with Particle Flow Code (PFC^2D) to study the influence of the distance D (negative toward the inside of the slope) from the right boundary of the goaf to the slope shoulder on the deformation of high-steep hard rock slopes.The following observations can be drawn from the results:The settlement curve of the overburden rock in the goaf assumes an approximate “U” shape.The settlement range first remains unchanged and then expands as D increases.The lateral deformation of the overburden rock towards the free face is more obvious,and the disturbed range of the overburden rock gradually increases; as the second time of mining proceeds,the rock body in the steep cliff area rapidly deforms,and its deformation at D> -50 m is much larger than that at D≤-50 m.This study proposes that subsequent mining of the Yongsheng coal mine should meet D< -50 m.It also provides a reference for the mining interval in the case of such high-steep hard rock slopes.…”
