Abstract

Mountaintop removal/valley fill coal mining (MTR/VF) in Central Appalachia has buried an estimated 4000 km of headwater streams, but the geomorphic implications of the constructed anthropogenic valley fills and associated mined landscape have been studied very little. This landscape requires no maintenance in perpetuity once reclamation is considered to be complete. The first ever field-based study of erosional landforms on this type of mined landscape allowed for the subsequent classification of gullies and landslides within nine regional LiDAR datasets in a transect from eastern Kentucky to central West Virginia. Field observations indicate that gullies are associated with the overtopping of or intentional discharge from drainage systems. Nine-hundred ninety-one manually identified gullies were observed on 375 km2 of mined landscape covered by the LiDAR datasets. Gullies were predominantly associated with the perimeter of the mined landscape, and the perimeter explained much of the variance within the number of gullies (R-squared = 0.72). Landslides were more abundant by a factor of 13 in a Kentucky dataset examined for landslides occurring along the perimeter of the mined landscape when compared to a West Virginia dataset. In all nine datasets, 21 landslides were observed within fully reclaimed valley fills, which was previously undocumented phenomenon. Previously measured regional differences in the angle of friction of mining spoils may explain the abundance of gullies and landslides in eastern Kentucky relative to West Virginia. Observations of erosion on the regional extensive MTR/VF landscape warrant further field and modeling studies to better ascertain future impacts.

37. Stonecutters Bridge, Hong Kong: stay cables and geometry control.

Abstract

During the initial phase of the detailed design of Stonecutters Bridge, Hong Kong, site-assembled multi-strand stay cables were the preferred option owing to their ease of installation. However, when more detailed information on the wind climate at the bridge site became available during the detailed design, it became apparent that the wind effects were significantly higher than had been assumed during the review phase. As a result of this, the bridge could no longer be made to perform satisfactorily without extensive changes to the back-span superstructure unless more compact parallel wire system stays were used in the design. This paper describes the design of the stay cables, some of the tests carried out during fabrication and the geometry control of the bridge deck and towers during erection of the bridge.

38. Design of the Forth replacement crossing, Scotland.

*BRIDGE design & construction, *BRIDGES, *CABLE structures
Abstract

The Forth replacement crossing will be built across the Firth of Forth in Scotland to maintain and enhance a vital transport link in the country. The wide estuary will be crossed by a pair of 650 m main spans over the two navigation channels, with crossing stay cables employed to stabilise the central tower - a unique design feature for a bridge of this scale. The project aims to provide a fitting twenty-first century icon standing alongside existing nineteenth and twentieth century grade A listed bridges. A statutory consultation process is currently under way, with competitive dialogue taking place throughout 2010. Construction will commence in 2011 and the bridge is expected to be completed in 2016.

Abstract

An interview with guitarist Wayne Coyne and vocalist Mike Ivins of the rock band called the Flaming Lips is presented. Both Coyne and Ivins share their most embarrassing experience on stage. Coyne states that band members produce their own records and things because they want to do things on their own way. Ivins shares some goofy stories of things they did inside the van.
