The acoustic emission and wave velocity characteristics of metasandstone under graded cyclic loading and unloading were revealed by conducting graded cyclic loading and unloading tests. The results show that the acoustic emission signals of metasandstone samples are mainly generated in the loading phase, and almost no acoustic emission activity is generated in the unloading phase. The quiet period feature can be used to monitor and predict the destabilization of metasandstone. There is a stress threshold for wave velocity variation in metasandstone, below which wave velocity does not change significantly with increasing stress. When the stress exceeds this threshold, the wave velocity of the rock sample will decrease rapidly with the increase in stress. The phenomenon of a rapid decrease in wave velocity can be used to predict the damage instability of rock masses in engineering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The rapid development of highway engineering has made slope stability an important issue in infrastructure construction. To meet the needs of green vegetation growth, ecological recovery, landscape beautification and the economy, long-term monitoring research on high-slope micrometeorology has important practical significance. Because of that, we designed and created a new slope micrometeorological monitoring and predicting system (SMMPS). We innovatively upgraded the cloud platform system, by adding an ARIMA prediction system and data-fitting system. From regularly sensor-monitored slope micrometeorological factors (soil temperature and humidity, slope temperature and humidity, and slope rainfall), a data-fitting system was used to fit atmospheric data with slope micrometeorological data, the trend of which ARIMA predicted. The slope was protected in time to prevent severe weather damage to the slope vegetation on a large scale. The SMMPS, which upgrades its cloud platform, significantly reduces the cost of long-term monitoring, protects slope stability, and improves the safety of rail and road projects.
