Pseudodynamic tests on rubber base isolators with numerical substructuring of the superstructure and strain‐rate effect compensation

A pseudodynamic testing procedure has been applied by which the seismic response of a base‐isolated building is obtained by using as specimen the isolators, while the superstructure is numerically simulated. The procedure also takes advantage of the continuous pseudodynamic testing capabilities of the ELSA laboratory, which increase the accuracy of the results and reduce the strain‐rate effect of the rubber bearings. A simple proportional correction of the measured forces compensates the remaining strain‐rate effect due to the unrealistic speed of the test. The correction factor is obtained by means of a characterizing test on the specific rubber isolators. The developed method has been successfully applied to the prediction of the seismic response of a base‐isolated four‐storey building submitted to several specified accelerograms. The results for those earthquakes as well as the effects of some changes of the parameters of the system are discussed. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

十万山盆地演化过程中的油气资源效应

十万山盆地位于广西西南部，大地构造位置属于华南板块的西北缘，是在华南板块与杨子板块拼接的加里东运动之后，早古生代华南洋再一次打开形成被动大陆边缘。晚二叠世末，该地区变成孤后盆地，进一步转化成前陆盆地。在盆山转换过程中，经历了三次沉积－构造盆山转换过程：泥盆纪－二早叠世分地新生与被动大陆边缘拉张裂谷；晚二叠世与中三叠世间盆地构造性质转换与前陆盆地；晚三叠世至侏罗纪的晚期前陆磨拉石沉积。在碎屑岩陆架沉积阶段，生成碎屑岩烃源岩层。在碳酸盐台地沉阶段，发育硝屑灰岩、藻灰岩、礁灰岩和暴露作用生成的白云岩储集岩。因而其早期被动大陆边缘阶段构了古生新储组合。前陆盆地早期在前渊盆地内沉积了一套碎屑岩烃源岩。它与早期的储集层构成了新生古储组合。同时也对下伏地层起到了封闭作用。沉积地层逐层向克拉通斜坡上超覆，发育地层圈闭。前渊阶段中期快速沉积的巨厚的复理石沉积和晚期快速沉积形成的磨拉石沉积有利于早期沉积的迅速埋藏、成熟和保存。

油压夯管锤蓄能器与活塞振动耦合性的数学解析

蓄能器容积的变化与夯管锤的工作过程是紧密联系在一起的，由于活塞的前后运动以及在运动过程中的每一时刻所需要的油量不同的，理想状态就要通过蓄能器的容积变化来调节，就是说蓄能器的容积变化要与夯管锤的冲击振动相耦合。简要介绍了油压夯管锤结构原理，分别解释了油压夯管锤蓄能器与夯管锤的容积压力耦合。     

GEOCHEMICAL EFFECTS OF MAJOR ELEMENTS DURING FLUID-ROCKS INTERACTION IN MARINWOBO FAULT IN THE SOUTH MARGIN AREAS OF ALTAI MOUNTAINS

There are four types of metamorphic rocks in the Marinwobo fault, i. e, cataclasite, mylonite,mictosite and migmatitic granite, and the formation of these rocks is due to the progressive metamorphism of the pyroclastics. The fluids play a very important role in the metamorphic process of these rocks in the Marinwobo fault, the most important feature is that the fluids not only result in the migration of the major elements of the deformation rocks, but also result in the volume loss of the deformation rocks in the deformation process. Thus the migration laws of the major elements in different stages of the progressive metamorphic process are discussed according to mass balance equations. Finally, the quantitative analysis of the mass loss and volume loss of the different rocks the in Marinwobo fault is discussed in this paper.     

Experimental Study on Mine Spoils During Superficial Geochemistry Processes

Based on the mineral and chemical compositions of spoils taken from the Shilu Cu-Mo deposit and Hetai gold deposit, the leaching and batch experiments were made on spoils taken from these two deposits using the leaching column designed by the authors. The experimental results showed that it is not always true that the mine drainage is acidic. Its acidity depends on acid-buffering capacity of gangue, host rock and its alteration mineral assemblage. The composition of the drainage water is related with the interaction between superficial or underground water and solid materials in the spoils, including minerals, hydroxides and amorphous substances. The leaching extent of the element is related with its occurrence form in the deposit. The preferential flow results in leaching-out of heavy metals in large amounts. So it is important to prevent the generating of preferential flow in the system. The results will provide very important grounds for the comprehensive management of land and ecological rehabilitation of the mine site.

中原地区M≥6级地震后的减(增)震效应

通过对中原地区1500年－2000年所有19次M≥6级地震后空间图像的分析，初步认为M≥6级地震发生后平均63年内，在距原震中平均176km内无M≥5级地震发生，全部19次震例均呈现出内部减震效应，而在其外围出现地震增强的活动图像特征，增震效应对应率为72％。这种强震后的减（增）震效应，不仅对地震危险性分析，而且对1年尺度以上的地震趋势预测均有一定的意义。     

Principal axes of m-DOF structures PartⅠ:Static loading

This paper is the first in a two-part series that discusses the principal axes of M-DOF structures subjected to static and dynamic loads. The primary purpose of this series is to understand the magnitude of the dynamic response of structures to enable better design of structures and control modification devices/systems. Under idealized design conditions, the structural responses are obtained by using single direction input ground motions in the direction of the intended control devices/systems,and by assuming that the responses of the structure is decoupleable in three mutually perpendicular directions. This standard practice has been applied to both new and retrofitted structures using various seismic protective systems. Very limited information is available on the effects of neglecting the impact of directional couplings (cross effects - of which torsion is a component) of the dynamic response of structures. In order to quantify such effects, it is necessary to examine the principal axes of structures under both static and dynamic loading.This first paper deals with quantitative definitions of principal axes and "cross effects" of three-dimensional structures under static load by using linear algebra. It shows theoretically that, for three-dimensional structures, such principal axes rarely exist. Under static loading conditions, the cross effect is typically small and negligible from the viewpoint of engineering applications. However, it provides the theoretical base for subsequent quantification of the response couplings under dynamic loads, which is reported in part Ⅱ of this series.
