“…Moreover, these maps contain buildings and their address points which are located in the inundated areas. Such information is particularly interesting for insurance companies (Tariq et al 2014). This paper can be further elaborated in terms of providing semiquantitative or quantitative analysis of the potential damage ( R ıha et al 2005).…”

With regard to minimizing flood damage, there are measures of different character each of which has its justification and plays an important role in flood protection. Implementation of traditional flood protection measures is still very important; however, an increasing role should be played particularly by flood prevention and flood risk management. The paper presents a case study on flood hazard and flood risk assessment at the local spatial scale using geographic information systems, remote sensing, and hydraulic modelling. As for determining flood hazard in the model area, which has 3.23 km 2 , the estimation of maximum flood discharges and hydraulic modelling were important steps. The results of onedimensional hydraulic modelling, which are water depth and flow velocity rasters, were the basis for determining flood hazard and flood risk. In order to define flood risk, the following steps were applied: determining flood intensity on the basis of water depth and flow velocity rasters, determining flood hazard using three categories (low, medium, and high) based on flood intensity, defining vulnerability for the classes of functional areas using three categories of acceptable risk (low, medium, and high), and lastly determination of flood risk which represents a synthesis of flood hazard and vulnerability of the model area.

“…Flooding is a frequently occurring and catastrophic natural threat in Pakistan, but the nature of the flood varies geographically [16]. Table 1 shows that a 2010 flood disaster was massive, killing more than 1700 people, affecting over 20% of the land area and more than 20 million people, and causing billions of dollars of loss through damages to infrastructure, housing, agriculture and livestock, and other family assets [17].…”

National level floods affect large sections of the population, and in turn, receive attention from the government and international agencies. Localized natural disasters, including localized floods, do not get the attention of the government and policymakers because their impact is felt within limited geographical areas, despite the fact that these disasters severely affect the livelihood of rural communities. This study examines the impact of localized floods on the livelihood of farmers in Pakistan using a cross-sectional data set collected from 812 households. The empirical results show that localized floods severely affect rural livelihoods, and affected households have lowered cereal crop yields, less income, and reduced food security levels. Farmers adopt a number of strategies, including crop and livestock insurance, bund-making, land-leveling, and tree planting, to combat the impact of localized floods. Among all these mitigating strategies, the tree plantation is ranked as the best mitigating strategy followed by crop and livestock insurance, land leveling, and bund making, respectively. Education, wealth, access to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), extension services, and infrastructure, influence the adoption of measures to mitigate the effect of flood risks. National policy on localized flood risks needs to strengthen local institutions to provide support to families and extension services to train farmers to mitigate the impact of localized floods.

“…The application proportion of filling mining method in mine is gradually increasing due to the advantages of cemented tailing backfill such as control of surface subsidence and environmental pollution, improvement of underground resources recovery, tailings emissions reduction and mining cost reduction. Backfill mechanics is developing as a discipline [1][2][3].…”

In order to reduce mining waste discharge and realize efficient application of tailing material in underground backfilling, the characteristics and mechanism of backfill damage is analyzed, and also the composed behavior and failure characteristic of cemented backfill. Five types of backfills were tested under uniaxial compression loading in SHT4206 electro‐hydraulic servo testing system. Based on the experimental results, the damage constitutive equations of cemented backfills with five cement−tailing ratios were proposed on the basis of damage mechanics and then validated. Research shows that the damage growth rate of backfills with lower cement−tailing is lower before peak value of stress, but it grows more rapidly after that. In addition, four backfill combination schemes were designed for mechanical test. Combining with research results on fracture characteristic of different backfills, a defects coupled constitutive model based on continuum damage mechanics was established. Research shows that the piecewise nonlinear model can well embodies effect of complex defects in backfills on the stress‐strain curve. Accuracy of the model is well verified by measured curve of backfill composite members. The results of this work provide a scientific basis for failure process prediction of backfills and reasonable matching design of framed filling.
