Technical Measures for Prevention and Control of Geological Disasters in the Full Life Cycle of Railway
China has a vast territory where geological disasters are serious issues.It is imperative to thoroughly consider the risks posed by geological disasters and take suitable prevention and control measures during the various phases of railway planning,design,construction,operation,and maintenance.An overall technical framework for the prevention and control of railway geological disasters throughout the full life cycle of railways from the survey,design,and construction to operation is proposed.The following technical measures are taken:through sufficient geological investigation,geological environmental conditions along railways should be identified to provide a scientific basis for railway planning and design;reasonable construction methods and measures should be used during construction to prevent and control geological disasters and avoid damage to the environment;monitoring and early warning of geological disasters should be enhanced during operation and maintenance period to find out and deal with potential hazards in time.These technical measures for the prevention and control of geological disasters in the full life cycle of railways proposed in this study have been applied in several railways,playing an important role in ensuring the safe operation and sustainable development of railway.
