考虑温度影响的LRB隔震建筑地震响应分析

为研究温度对铅芯橡胶支座(LRB)性能的影响,进行支座拟静力试验。试验表明,在不同温度环境中试件的滞回曲线明显不同,支座的刚度和屈服剪力均随温度的升高而降低;低温时,支座的力学特性变化较大,而当温度大于20℃时,支座的力学特性趋于稳定。以某五层基础隔震建筑为例,编写基础隔震结构非线性时程分析程序NBIS,计算该隔震建筑在考虑温度影响后的地震响应。结果表明,在多遇地震作用下支座恢复力随温度的升高而降低,与罕遇地震下的变化趋势相反;考虑LRB温度影响后,该基础隔震结构的减震系数随环境温度的降低而增大,支座的最大位移随温度升高而增大。

以典型的四层、六层和八层LRB(铅芯橡胶隔震支座)基础隔震结构为研究对象,通过大量的弹塑性时程分析,对极罕遇地震作用下的地震响应特点进行了分析;采用参数化方法,研究了隔震系统的力学性能参数和上部结构屈服强度比的变化对LRB基础隔震结构抗震性能的影响。结果表明:在极罕遇地震作用下,LRB基础隔震结构上部结构首层的层间位移角和延性系数明显增大;延长LRB隔震系统的隔震周期或选择最优的特征屈服强度比,均可显著降低上部结构的塑性变形程度,但LRB屈服位移的变化对隔震结构的响应几乎无影响;LRB隔震系统参数确定后,隔震结构上部结构的损伤状态主要与上部结构力学性能参数中的屈服强度比相关,增大上部结构的屈服强度比,可以显著降低上部结构的层间位移角和延性系数,但是隔震支座的平均最大剪应变会增大,可以选用橡胶剪切模量大或者直径大、第二形状系数小的LRB隔震支座。

Distribution of throughfall and stemflow in multi‐strata agroforestry,perennial monoculture,fallow and primary forest in central Amazonia,Brazil

The partitioning of rain water into throughfall, stemflow and interception loss when passing through plant canopies depends on properties of the respective plant species, such as leaf area and branch angles. In heterogeneous vegetation, such as tropical forest or polycultural systems, the presence of different plant species may consequently result in a mosaic of situations with respect to quantity and quality of water inputs into the soil. As these processes influence not only the water availability for the plants, but also water infiltration and nutrient leaching, the understanding of plant effects on the repartitioning of rain water may help in the optimization of land use systems and management practices. We measured throughfall and stemflow in a perennial polyculture (multi‐strata agroforestry), monocultures of peach palm (Bactris gasipaes) for fruit and for palmito, a monoculture of cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum), spontaneous fallow and primary forest during one year in central Amazonia, Brazil. The effect on rain water partitioning was measured separately for four useful tree species in the polyculture and for two tree species in the primary forest. Throughfall at two stem distances, and stemflow, differed significantly between tree species, resulting in pronounced spatial patterns of water input into the soil in the polyculture system. For two tree species, peach palm for fruit (Bactris gasipaes) and Brazil nut trees (Bertholletia excelsa), the water input into the soil near the stem was significantly higher than the open‐area rainfall. This could lead to increased nutrient leaching when fertilizer is applied close to the stem of these trees. In the primary forest, such spatial patterns could also be detected, with significantly higher water input near a palm (Oenocarpus bacaba) than near a dicotyledonous tree species (Eschweilera sp.). Interception losses were 6·4% in the polyculture, 13·9 and 12·3% in the peach palm monocultures for fruit and for palmito, respectively, 0·5% in the cupuaçu monoculture and 3·1% in the fallow. With more than 20% of the open‐area rainfall, the highest stemflow contributions to the water input into the soil were measured in the palm monocultures and in the fallow.

A Monte Carlo study of rainfall forecasting with a stochastic model

A procedure for short-term rainfall forecasting in real-time is developed and a study of the role of sampling on forecast ability is conducted. Ground level rainfall fields are forecasted using a stochastic space-time rainfall model in state-space form. Updating of the rainfall field in real-time is accomplished using a distributed parameter Kalman filter to optimally combine measurement information and forecast model estimates. The influence of sampling density on forecast accuracy is evaluated using a series of a simulated rainfall events generated with the same stochastic rainfall model. Sampling was conducted at five different network spatial densities. The results quantify the influence of sampling network density on real-time rainfall field forecasting. Statistical analyses of the rainfall field residuals illustrate improvement in one hour lead time forecasts at higher measurement densities.     

Anthropogenic Eutrophication and Red Tide Outbreak in Lacustrine Systems of the Kashmir Himalaya

Red tide, a recurrent phenomenon has become conspicuous in several Kashmir lake ecosystems since 1991. The responsible organism (Euglena pedunculata), a rare flagellate rediscovered in the Kashmir Himalaya (Khan 1993) caused first and unprecedented red tide outbreak, constituting a maximum of 96% of resident numerical phytoplankton density in Dal Lake. At present, conflicting hypotheses exist on the generation of causal assemblage(s) imparting redness to waters: Jeeji Bai (1991) linked its origin to acid precipitation – a fallout of burning oil‐fields during the Gulf War – whilst Khan (1993) holds local factor(s) responsible. Field/experimental studies support the latter contention that the influx of untreated sewage, in unison with warm temperatures, high levels of PhAR, iron and interruption to hydrological flow‐pattern together with absence/or reduction in grazing activity created conducive environmental milieu for red tide outbreak. Dal Lake “red tide” drifted the bloom‐inoculum to other waters, including Lake Wular, where additional ecological niches were carved out, threatening the aesthetic value and biological diversity of Kashmir lakes. Ecological monitoring indicates frequent seasonal red tide occurrence in Dal Lake (including summer‐autumn event of 1998) which testifies its unabated eutrophication status. Further studies are needed on ecological adaptability and biogeographic distribution of this rare and unique red tide‐causing flagellate.
