基岩人造地震动随机数对地表地震动参数的影响

随机数是人工合成基岩地震动输入的必备参数,对地表地震动参数有一定影响。以某实际化工工程场地剖面及其基岩加速度反应谱为基础,调整随机数,人工合成不同的基岩加速度时程,以此为输入,计算场地地表地震动参数,并对比不同随机数下地表加速度反应。对比结果表明,相同的场地和基岩反应谱输入,不同随机数对应得到的地表反应谱高频部分(0.2s)影响显著,而对地表反应谱周期部分(0.2s)影响不大,其中峰值加速度差别最为显著,输入地震动强度越大差别越大,大震输入下可达到60gal,有可能影响烈度判断结果。基岩人造地震动随机数主要影响峰值加速度和地表反应谱高频部分,基本不影响反应谱长周期部分。     

地下水对地震动参数的影响

为分析地下水的存在对地震动参数的影响,以3个实际场地作为计算土层,2条真实的地震波记录作为输入地震动,分别计算不含地下水工况和饱含地下水工况的土层地震反应。其中,不含地下水工况使用单相介质模型,饱含地下水工况使用双相介质模型,算法均使用有限差分方法,人工边界使用透射边界。根据得到的加速度时程,提取它们的峰值加速度和反应谱数据,经过对比分析,得出以下结论:(1)含地下水场地的地表峰值加速度要明显小于不含地下水场地的地表峰值加速度;(2)含地下水场地的地表加速度反应谱要大于不含地下水场地的反应谱值;(3)由于地下水的存在,场地放大系数反应谱特征周期向长周期改变,反应谱平台值变大。     

黄土高填方场地地震动参数特性分析

削山造地后形成的黄土高填方场地对地震动参数特性影响较大。以实际工程项目为研究对象,构造不同填土高度的计算剖面,采用一维等效线性化方法计算土层地震动参数,分析基岩地震动输入参数和填土高度对场地地表放大效应的影响。研究表明:场地地震放大系数随填土层的高度增加呈递减趋势。在多遇地震动和基本地震动作用下,场地地震放大系数递减速度比罕遇地震动和极罕遇地震动作用下要大。当填土高度达到一定程度后放大效应趋于平稳;填土高度的变化,会改变地表加速度反应谱的形状。填土高度越大,地表反应谱长周期的频谱成分越显著,反应谱曲线向后移,反应谱峰值点均明显向长周期移动,并出现多个峰值点,反应谱特征周期值变大;下伏基岩的刚度越大,地表峰值加速度的放大效应越大。地表加速度反应谱特征值相比变小。当填土高度增大到一定程度时,下伏基岩的种类对地表地震动特性影响则不明显。该研究成果对高填方场地的地震安全评价和结构抗震设计提供参考。     

计算基底深度的变化对加速度峰值及其反应谱的影响

以乌鲁木齐市轨道交通4号线天然司车站和七道湾车站场地为例,在不同频谱特性的人工地震动输入下,用等效线性化技术考虑土动力非线性特性,计算地表水平向场地地震反应,从计算基底深度的变化出发,研究低速层对地表水平向加速度峰值和加速度反应谱特征周期的影响。结果表明:(1)低速层对地表加速度中低频成分的影响较大,出现波谷和波峰;(2)低速层起到减小地表加速度峰值的作用。随输入强度的增大,地表加速度峰值下降幅度变大;(3)低速层对加速度反应谱特征周期的取值有很大影响,即对特征周期值有放大作用。随输入强度的增大,特征周期值放大的幅度变大。     

液化土层对地表加速度反应谱的影响

采用一种改进的有效应力方法研究土层液化对地表加速度反应谱的影响，分析中考虑了砂层的厚度、埋深和输入地震波的幅值和波型等因素。分析结果表明，土层液化使地表加速度反应谱的特征周期至少延长0．1秒以上，使原Ⅱ类场地变为Ⅲ类场地，高烈度时易变成Ⅳ类场地，反应谱中周期0．8秒-1．0秒是液化砂层加震或减震的一个分界点，液化对反应谱短周期分量具有一定的减震作用，而对长周期分量有非常显著的放大作用。     

地震动输入界面的选取对深软场地地震效应的影响

以天津和上海两个典型的深厚软弱场地为研究背景,探讨了地震动输入界面对场地地表地震动参数的影响。对于场地1(天津)和场地2(上海),分别选择7个和8个剪切波速(υs)大小不同的土层位置作为地震动输入界面,并选用Taft、Northridge地震加速度记录和南京人工波作为输入地震动,将Taft波、Northridge波和南京人工波的加速度峰值水平调整为0．35m／s^2、0．70m／s^2和0．98m／s^2,用SHAKE91程序对这两个场地进行了不同的地震动输入界面、输入地震波和峰值加速度水平的128种组合的场地地震反应分析。与从假想基岩面(υs≥500m／s)输入地震动的结果(假想的实际值)相比,可得到如下结论：(1)随着地震动输入界面深度(剪切波速)的增加,场地地表加速度反应谱逐渐地向实际值接近;(2)地震动输入界面的深度相同时,地震动加速度峰值水平越高,两者的加速度反应谱谱值的相对差异也越大;(3)对于一般建筑物,可以把剪切波速为400m／s左右的土层作为地震动输入界面;对于中长周期的建筑物,则应慎重选择地震动输入界面,最好选取υs≥500m／s^2的土层或基岩面作为地震动输入界面。     

Analysis on Dynamic Interaction of Subway Station-soil-aboveground Frame Structure Under Inclined Incidence of SV Wave

地震作用下地铁车站和邻近建筑间的动力相互作用问题已引起许多学者的关注和重视,然而斜入射地震波作用下的相互作用分析研究较少,有关规律仍不明确。为此建立基于黏弹性人工边界的地铁车站-土-地表框架结构整体动力分析有限元模型,围绕入射角、地上与地下结构间距、场地类别等因素,采用频域刚度矩阵自由场地震响应分析方法获得任意角度斜入射SV波作用下地铁车站-土-地表框架结构动力响应规律。研究结果表明,地表框架结构的存在会显著增大车站中柱轴力幅值,当地表框架结构与车站紧邻时,中柱轴力放大幅度最大为730%,放大效应会改变轴力随入射角的变化规律,总体上使车站中柱轴力在SV波垂直入射和超临界角10°左右入射时均具有相当的幅值;地表框架结构对地铁车站层间位移角的影响与场地条件密切相关,在较硬的场地（Ⅱ类场地）中,车站层间位移角放大幅度最大为74%,在较软的场地（Ⅳ类场地）中,车站层间位移角缩小幅度最大为30%;地铁车站的存在对地表框架结构层间位移角具有放大作用,总体上地铁车站与地表框架结构的距离越近,放大作用越明显,地表框架结构层间位移角放大幅度最大为52%。建议将0°入射和超临界角10°左右入射工况作为地上或地下结构地震响应分析的不利工况。     

天津地区土动力学参数变异性对地表地震动参数的影响

收集天津地区十多年来的83份地震安全性评价报告,统计202个钻孔的1 650组动三轴数据,分别给出不同种类土在不同区间深度下的统计代表值及其标准差。以某典型Ⅲ类场地为例,用等效线性化方法进行多种地震动强度及相位输入下的水平成层场地地震反应分析计算,详细研究该地区覆盖土层动剪模量比和阻尼比变异性对地表峰值加速度及其反应谱的影响。结果表明:场地地表峰值加速度和反应谱随土动剪切模量比增大或减小而增大或减小,随土动阻尼比增大或减小而减小或增大;在大震输入条件下,地表峰值加速度和地表反应谱的中、高频段随土动剪切模量比减小而减小的变化尤为明显,动阻尼比变化也有一定影响,但不如土动剪切模量比减小变化时影响明显;在中震、小震地震动输入条件下,场地土的动剪模量比和阻尼比变异性对地表峰值加速度和反应谱影响并不显著。     

土层结构对反应谱平台值的影响

本文利用目前工程上广泛应用的场地地震反应的一维等效线性化波动方法,计算了不同场地模型在三种不同强度的地震动输入下的地表加速度反应谱。为了研究不同的土层结构对反应谱平台值的影响,本文将计算得到的地表加速度反应谱拟合成建筑抗震设计规范规定的设计反应谱的形式,分析对比了不同的覆盖层厚度、软弱土层对反应谱平台值的影响,得到了一些有价值的研究成果。     

我国现行规范谱的超越概率标准

工程场地的地震安全性评价给出的加速度反应谱在长周期部分一般均低于相应的规范谱。本文用Ⅰ类和Ⅲ类场地的地震动参数衰减规律,讨论加速度反应谱与不同周期规范谱值对应的重现期。结果表明,对加速度而言,基本情况是规范反应谱周期越长越保守。当峰值加速度对应的重现期为475年时,对于本文的工程算例,Ⅰ类和Ⅲ类场地的加速度反应谱分别于3.7s和5.2s以后超过重现期5000年。本文认为,对目前使用的衰减规律的可靠性,对一致概率谱与规范谱的关系,对按保守谱设计的工程在长周期地震波作用下的表现以及对速度、位移等在抗震设计中的作用等问题应作深入研究。     

On the synchronism in the events within the core and on the surface of the earth: the changes in the organic world and in the polarity of the geomagnetic field in the phanerozoic

The data on geomagnetic reversals are compared with the changes in the organic world and with the lower-mantle plumes. The times of the formation of plumes and the times of their appearance on the Earth’s surface relate to the intervals characterized by the different frequencies of geomagnetic reversals, i.e., there is no interrelation between the formation of plumes and the frequency of the changes in the geomagnetic field polarity. At the same time, a certain synchronism is observed between the frequency of the geomagnetic reversals and the boundaries of the biostratigraphic ages, i.e., the changes in the organic world in the long-period range. A hypothesis is proposed, which explains the change in the sign of the geomagnetic field by the combined effect of the irregular rotation of the internal core relative to the mantle and the changes in the slope angle of the axis of the Earth’s rotation, which, in turn, results in synchronous events on the Earth’s surface: the rates of changes in the organic world.     

On the maintenance of the axisymmetric part of the flow in the atmosphere

Summary The maintenance of the axisymmetric component of the flow in the atmosphere is investigated by means of a steady-state, quasi-geostrophic formulation of the meteorological equations. It is shown that the meridional variations in the time-averaged axisymmetric variables can be expressed as the sum of three contributions, one being due to the eddy heat transport, another to the eddy momentum transport, and a third to the convective-radiative equilibrium temperature which enters the problem through the specification of a Newtonian form of diabatic heating. The contributions by the large scale eddies are evaluated through the use of observed values for the eddy heat and momentum transports.The contributions from each of the three forcing mechanisms to the temperature and zonal wind fields are invstigated individually and found to be of about equal importance. The sum of the three contributions are also presented for the temperature, the zonal wind, the stream function associated with the mean meridional circulation and the corresponding vertical motion. Although the results fail to reproduce the main observed features of the lower stratosphere, they are found to be in good agreement with observations in the middle latitude troposphere. At any pressure level, for example, the computed mean zonal wind has a jet-like profile and the axis of the jet is found to slope to the south with height, as observed in the atmosphere.Based in part on a thesis submitted by the first author as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree at the University of Michigan. — Publication No. 194 from the Department of Meteorology and Oceanography, The University of Michigan.     

On the gravimetric undulations of the geoid and the deflections of the vertical

Summary The author mentions the aims of the World-wide gravity project he established in the Ohio State University in Columbus, in 1950. He outlines the practical procedure of the gravimetric computations of the undulationsN and the vertical deflection components and and emphasizes that only by the global international cooperation and additional gravity observations at sea carried out during the last decade it has been possible to gather to Columbus the needed gravity material. Since there exist still large gravimetrically unsurveyed areas it is of vital significance to study what gravity anomalies are best to be used for these regions. The given figures concerning the accuracy of theN, and , estimated theoretically and obtained in practice, indicate that in the gravimetrically well surveyed parts of the world like in Europe and the United States we can get gravimetrically on basis of existing gravity material theN-values with accuracy of about 5–10 meters, and and with the accuracy of about 1. The geoid undulationsN are already computed in Columbus for more than 6000 points of the northern hemisphere. The sample maps show the interesting geoid of Europe and vicinity between the latitudes 60° and 30° and longitude 5° W and 30° E, drafted on basis of more than 1000N-values computed at the corners of 1°×1° squares. It is interesting to realize that the geoid undulations in all this area are positive, the extreme values being between 40 and 50 meters. The geophysical significance of the geoid maps of this kind is pointed out.

Magnetic stratigraphy of the Ordovician in the lower reach of the Kotuy River: the age of the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum and the rate of geomagnetic reversals on the eve of the superchron

Until recently, the existing data prevented the geophysicists from accurately dating the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum, which outcrops in the middle reach of the Kotuy River, constraining the time of its formation to a wide interval from the end of the Late Cambrian to the beginning of the Silurian. The obtained paleomagnetic data unambiguously correlate the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum to the Nyaian regional stage and constrain its formation, at least a considerable part of it, by the Tremadocian. This result perfectly agrees with the data on the Bysy-Yuryakh conodonts studied in this work and yields a spectacular example of the successful application of paleomagnetic studies in solving important tasks of stratigraphy and, correspondingly, petroleum geology. Within the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum, we revealed a large normal-polarity interval corresponding to the long (>1 Ma) period when the geomagnetic reversals were absent. This result, in combination with the data for the Tremadocian and Middle–Upper Cambrian sequences of the other regions, indicates that (1) the rate of occurrence of the geomagnetic reversals on the eve of the Ordovician Moyero superchron of reversed polarity was at most one reversal per Ma; (2) the superchron does not switch on instantaneously but is preceded by a certain gradual change in the operation conditions of the dynamo mechanism which, inter alia, manifests itself by the reduction of the frequency of geomagnetic reversals with the approach of the superchron. This finding supports the views according to which a process preparing the establishment of the superchrons takes place at the core–mantle boundary.     

On the variation in the geomagnetic dipole over the geological history of the Earth

The global database on the paleointensity, containing determinations of the virtual dipole moment (VDM) for a stable (normal) regime of the geomagnetic field in a time interval of up to 3.5 Ga, is supplemented by new VDM determinations and analyzed. The field generation process started no later than 3–3.5 Ga (earlier data are absent) at the stage of the Earth’s core formation. Since that time, the dipole value has differed from its present value by no more than an order of magnitude, and the deviations that have already been detected tend toward smaller values. The distribution of VDM values in the time interval 0–400 Ma is bimodal, which apparently reflects the presence of two different generation levels of the geomagnetic field distinguished by a relatively large value (close to the present field value) and a relatively small value (approximately half as large as the present value). The total duration of decreased VDM values appreciably exceeds that of increased VDM values (179.1 and 28.6 Myr, respectively). On the whole, data on the paleointensity do not contradict the hypothesis about the dipole nature of the field over the last 400 Myr; however, the number of determinations at high paleolatitudes is too small to draw decisive conclusions on the validity (or invalidity) of the dipole field approximation based solely on paleointensity data.     

Comparison Between the Nutations of the Planet Mars and the Nutations of the Earth

The nutations of the planets Mars andEarth are investigated and compared. Alarge number of interior structureparameters are involved in the nutationcomputations. The comparison between the observations and the computationsprovides several constraints on these parmeters andtherefore allows a better understanding of the physics of the interior of theplanet. For the Earth, the high precision of the observations of the nutationshas led to a very good determination of interior properties of the planet. ForMars, observations of nutations are not yet available, and we review how theamplitude of the Martian nutations depends on the hypotheses consideredfor its interior. Although Mars is very similar to the Earth, its interior is not well known;for example, we don't knowif its core is liquid or solid. Only if the core is liquid,the Free Core Nutation (FCN) normal mode exists and can alter the nutationswhich are close to the resonance. From the observed geoids, it is known thatboth planets are not in hydrostatic equilibrium. The departure is larger forMars than for the Earth, and consequently, the implication of considering a convective mantle instead of a mantle in hydrostatic equilibrium described byClairaut's equation for the initial equilibrium state of the planet is largeron the Martian nutations than on the Earth nutations. The consequences of theuncertainty in the core dimensions are also examined and shown to be of a veryhigh influence for Mars if the core is liquid, due to the potential changes inthe FCN resonance. The influence of the presence of an inner core, which isknown to exist for the Earth, could be more important for Mars than for theEarth if the inner core is large. Due to the presence of Tharsis on Mars, thetriaxiality of this planet has, additionally, larger effects than on Earth.
