淹没不整合型碳酸盐三级旋回层序——兼论碳酸盐台地的“凝缩作用”

与层序地层学定义的类型Ⅰ层序（ＬＳＴ＋ＴＳＴ＋ＣＳ＋ＨＳＴ）及类型Ⅱ层序（ＳＭＴ＋ＴＳＴ＋ＣＳ＋ＨＳＴ）不同，淹没不整合型碳酸盐三级旋回层序以凝缩段直接覆盖在层序界面之上形成的，“ＣＳ＋ＨＳＴ”序列为特征，而且其底界面为一淹没不整合面或加深饥饿间断面。该类型三级旋回层序是碳酸盐台地淹没事件产生的凝缩作用过程的产物，它以总体向上变浅的非对称相序为特征。华北北部晚寒武世地层中发育的四个淹没不整合型三级旋回层序的相序特征表明，台地淹没事件及其相关的凝缩作用，只要沉积背景适合，并非三级旋回层序所独有，高频率海平面变化也常产生“瞬时淹没”，因而凝缩段并非都发育在最大海侵期，并且凝缩段也存在级别归属问题。     

华北地台北缘奥陶系亮甲山组的碳酸盐复合海平面变化旋回层序

华北地台北缘亮甲山组地层中发育有六种碳酸盐米级旋四层序；ａ型和ｂ型属潮下型，其下部单元为钙质泥岩（ａ型）及薄层泥晶灰岩（ｂ型）．上部单元为颗粒泥晶灰岩（ａ与ｂ相同）；ｃ－ｆ型属环潮坪型，它们的上部单元均为薄层泥晶白云岩及泥质白云岩，其下部岩石单元：ｃ型为厚层及块状颗粒泥晶灰岩，ｄ型为局部白云石化颗粒泥晶灰岩，ｅ型为白云岩化颗粒泥晶灰岩，ｆ型为中厚层含少量颗粒的泥晶结晶白云岩。从ａ型到ｆ型正好构成一个米级旋回层序的环境变化谱系。根据米级旋回层序的有序垂直叠加形式，可以建立亮甲山组地层构成的复合海平面变化旋四层序：１个三级旋四层序包含３个四级旋四层序，１３－１５个五级旋四层序，６０余个左右的米级旋四层序．通过这项研究表明，在浅水地层中进行露头旋四层序研究时，米级旋回层序是基本工作单元，其有序垂直叠加形式是识别长周期旋四层序的关键．

碳酸盐岩米级旋回层序的成因类型及形成机制

在前人研究及自己野外观察的基础上,本文把碳酸盐岩米级旋回层序归为四大类:深水非对称米级旋回层序、L-M米级旋回层序、潮下碳酸盐米级旋回层序、潮坪碳酸盐米级旋回层序。米级旋回层序的形成机制是与米兰柯维奇旋回有关的高频率海平面振荡变化旋回所形成的间断-加积旋回沉积作用,它们的识别标志主要是岩石类型、界面特征、产出环境等。碳酸盐岩米级旋回层序的规则的垂直叠加形式是识别三级旋回层序的基础。     

A Study of Seismicity and Earthquake Hazard at the Proposed Kalabsha Dam Site,Aswan, Egypt

High and Aswan Dams Authority (HADA) proposed a plan aiming at constructing a rockfill dam in the Kalabsha area, about 60 km south of Aswan High Dam. The aim of this dam is to restrain the overflow of water to the Kalabsha Valley for keeping one billion cubic meters from being lost due to seepage and evaporation. The safety of dams during earthquakes is extremely important because failure of such a structure may have disastrous consequences on life and property. Therefore, different factors were considered as part of a site assessment. Five seismic source zones, close enough to the site to give rise to potentially damaging earthquake ground motions, were identified. Seven active faults that have the potential for producing significant earthquakes and that pass through or near the dam site were also identified. The earthquake loading represented by ground motions at the site was evaluated. Probabilistic seismic hazard procedures were used for assessing the earthquake loading at six individual sites using Area-and Line-Source Models (ASM & LSM). The ASM is based on current observed seismicity, whereas the LSM is based on geological slip rates. The output represents the expected acceleration amplitude with 90 percent probability of not being exceeded in exposure times of 20, 50, and 100 years. The results from the two models appear to be different, the expected ground motions from ASM were twice as high as expected from LSM. This difference is due to the load of the Aswan reservoir (Nasser Lake) triggering earthquakes on those parts of the faults that lie under the lake at Kalabsha area. The hazard at the selected sites is given by the hazard curve that is represented by the relationship between the peak ground acceleration and its annual exceedance probability. By comparing the curves for the six individual sites for the same source model, it can be concluded that the potential ground acceleration level for all the sites is almost the same. Considering the mean results from the two models, the annual exceedance probability of the expected ground acceleration from ASM is approximately ten times higher than the annual exceedance probability from LSM.Since ASM is based on current seismicity, it is more appropriate forrepresenting the actual hazard for the dam site.

Biological mechanisms driving the seasonal changes in the internal loading of phosphorus in shallow lakes

Because of the obvious importance of P as a nutrient that often accelerates growth of phytoplankton (including toxic cyanobacteria) and therefore worsens water quality, much interest has been devoted to P exchange across the sediment-water interface. Generally, the release mode of P from the sediment differed greatly between shallow and deep lakes, and much of the effort has been focused on iron and oxygen, and also on the relevant environmental factors, for example, turbulence and decomposition, but a large part of the P variation in shallow lakes remains unexplained. This paper reviews experimental and field studies on the mechanisms of P release from the sediment in the shallow temperate (in Europe) and subtropical (in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China) lakes, and it is suggested that pH rather than DO might be more important in driving the seasonal dynamics of internal P loading in these shallow lakes, i.e., intense photosynthesis of phytoplankton increases pH of the lake water and thus may increase pH of the surface sediment, leading to enhanced release of P (especially iron-bound P) from the sediment. Based on the selective pump of P (but not N) from the sediment by algal blooms, it is concluded that photosynthesis which is closely related to eutrophication level is the driving force for the seasonal variation of internal P loading in shallow lakes. This is a new finding. Additionally, the selective pump of P from the sediment by algal blooms not only explains satisfactorily why both TP and PO4-P in the hypereutrophic Lake Donghu declined significantly since the mid-1980s when heavy cyanobacterial blooms were eliminated by the nontraditional biomanipulation (massive stocking of the filter-feeding silver and bighead carps), but also explains why TP in European lakes decreased remarkably in the spring clear-water phase with less phytoplankton during the seasonal succession of aquatic communities or when phytoplankton biomass was decreased by traditional biomanipulation. Compared with deep lakes, wax and wane of phytoplankton due to alternations in the ecosystem structure is also able to exert significant influences on the P exchange at the sediment-water interface in shallow lakes. In other words, biological activities are also able to drive P release from sediments, and such a static P release process is especially more prominent in eutrophic shallow lakes with dense phytoplankton.     

Static and dynamic response of massive caisson foundations with soil and interface nonlinearities—validation and results

The static, cyclic, and dynamic response of a massive caisson foundation embedded in nonlinear layered or inhomogeneous soil and loaded at its top is investigated. The caisson is supported against horizontal displacement and rotation by four types of inelastic springs and dashpots, described with the BWGG model that was developed in the preceding companion paper [Gerolymos N, Gazetas G. Development of winkler model for static and dynamic response of caisson foundations with soil and interface nonlinearities. Soil Dyn Earthq Eng, submitted companion paper]. The prediction of the model is satisfactorily compared with results from 3D-finite element analysis. Some experimental corroboration of the method is provided with the help of a 1/3-scale lateral load test that had been conducted in the field by EPRI. An illustrative example of a caisson embedded in linearly-inhomogeneous clay and subjected to static and dynamic loading is analysed. Characteristic results are presented highlighting the role of soil inelasticity and its interplay with the two dominant interface nonlinearities: separation (gapping) of the caisson shaft from the surrounding soil, and uplifting of the base from the underlying soil.     

天津蓟县雾迷山组高频旋回沉积特征

天津蓟县剖面的中元古界雾迷山组是一套厚达3 300 m的碳酸盐岩地层,其中广泛发育具有近似对称相序组构的雾迷山旋回层,属于特殊的环潮坪型碳酸盐米级旋回层序。在对旋回层内部岩石成因单元的类型及组合分析的基础上,建立了雾迷山旋回层的基本模式和沉积环境模式,并对成因单元的岩石磁化率特征及其对高频旋回的反映进行了探索。认为雾迷山旋回层为沉积环境的水深由较浅—较深—较浅—暴露条件下的沉积,可能代表真正的沉积旋回;其成因单元之间具有明显的有序叠置形态,表明它有可能是与米兰柯维奇旋回具有成因关联的高频率海平面变化所控制的自旋回沉积作用的产物。     

碎石土地基湿陷性研究

主要以甘南330 kV变电所碎石土地基的现场浸水载荷试验和室内实验为基础,根据湿陷变形的特征,分析了影响碎石土地基湿陷变形的主要影响因素,探讨了碎石土地基的湿陷机理。认为碎石等大骨架颗粒与细粒胶结物相填充的特殊结构是碎石土地基湿陷最主要的原因。碎石土由于浸水骨架颗粒之间抗剪、抗压强度降低而导致碎石土结构破坏,随之填充在骨架颗粒之间的细颗粒产生二次湿陷,两者引起土体体积减小所导致。
