Risk zonation on the submarine geological hazards in Bohai Sea

Abstract

This paper established the system of assessment in dex for regionalization of geological hazards in Bohai Sea with four aspects of hydrodynamic condition, engineering geological environment, disaster geological conditions and human engineering activities based on analytic hierarchy process, eight evaluation factors selected and the distribution characteristics of each geological hazard evaluation factor which were discussed in detail. The integrated geological disaster evaluation and regionalization were carried out combined with qualitative analysis and quantitative calculation. The risk level of submarine geological hazards in Bohai Sea are divided into four types: high, medium-high, medium-low and low.The study results can provide scientific basis for engineering construction and hazard prevention in Bohai Sea area.
