The Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling (CCSD) main drill hole (0–3000 m) in Donghai, southern Sulu orogen, consists of eclogite, paragneiss, orthogneiss, schist and garnet peridotite. Detailed investigations of Raman, cathodoluminescence, and microprobe analyses show that zircons from most eclogites, gneisses and schists have oscillatory zoned magmatic cores with low-pressure mineral inclusions of Qtz, Pl, Kf and Ap, and a metamorphic rim with relatively uniform luminescence and eclogite-facies mineral inclusions of Grt, Omp, Phn, Coe and Rt. The chemical compositions of the UHP metamorphic mineral inclusions in zircon are similar to those from the matrix of the host rocks. Similar UHP metamorphic P–T conditions of about 770 °C and 32 kbar were estimated from coexisting minerals in zircon and in the matrix. These observations suggest that all investigated lithologies experienced a joint in situ UHP metamorphism during continental deep subduction. In rare cases, magmatic cores of zircon contain coesite and omphacite inclusions and show patchy and irregular luminescence, implying that the cores have been largely altered possibly by fluid–mineral interaction during UHP metamorphism.
Abundant H2O–CO2, H2O- or CO2-dominated fluid inclusions with low to medium salinities occur isolated or clustered in the magmatic cores of some zircons, coexisting with low-P mineral inclusions. These fluid inclusions should have been trapped during magmatic crystallization and thus as primary. Only few H2O- and/or CO2-dominated fluid inclusions were found to occur together with UHP mineral inclusions in zircons of metamorphic origin, indicating that UHP metamorphism occurred under relatively dry conditions. The diversity in fluid inclusion populations in UHP rocks from different depths suggests a closed fluid system, without large-scale fluid migration during subduction and exhumation. 相似文献
Risk and uncertainty assessments for waste containment systems employing clay barriers often include spatial variability in
the hydraulic conductivity as part of the analysis. The two-parameter log-normal distribution is often used to describe the
spatial variability, but for compacted clays the three-parameter form can be more appropriate. A statistical hypothesis test
was developed that can be used to determine if the two- or three-parameter form of the log-normal distribution is more appropriate.
The test is based on a likelihood ratio, comparing likelihood functions for the two- and three-parameter forms at their maximums.
Likelihood functions are used assuming that a data set can be segregated into a set of distinct groups of hydraulic conductivities.
A step-by-step calculation procedure is described and the test is applied to data collected from 45 sites. 相似文献
In their comment, Park & Ree have raised several points against the interpretation by Park et al. , and argued that the remagnetization in the Jeongseon area was caused by the thermal effects of a Late Cretaceous pluton and/or associated short-range hydrothermal fluids, rather than by long-range fluids advocated by us. We disagree with most points raised by Park & Ree and we make a case that these are invalid because of what we believe is incorrect geologic evidence. Hence, our model—that the fluids causing the chemical remagnetization might migrate through the fault system within the Ogcheon Fold Belt—is the most plausible scenario. We recognize that our model needs to be tested in a future study and we welcome new interpretations for or against our model based on reliable geologic or geophysical data. 相似文献
This study reports on waterborne polymer emulsion systems that were used for structural modification of sandy soils. The first
emulsion used was a styrene-acrylic, copolymer emulsion; the second and third were vinyl-acrylic, copolymer-based emulsions.
Specimens were prepared by adding different polymer emulsions to the sand and water in prescribed amounts. The performance
of the different emulsion systems as sand stabilizers was estimated through measurement of the hydraulic conductivity and
compressive strength. Measurements of hydraulic conductivity were conducted in a flexible membrane test apparatus. The hydraulic
conductivity for the three emulsions decreased at different rates, with an increase in polymer content up to 3 wt. (i.e.,
% by weight). Additional increase of polymer content did not introduce significant decrease in hydraulic conductivity, and,
at 5 wt.%, the three emulsions had essentially the same effect. Measurements made on dry cylindrical specimens disclosed remarkable
enhancement in the mechanical behavior of the system. The compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of the examined emulsions
increased with a higher concentration of polymer. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed that the reduction in the permeability
and the improved mechanical properties can be attributed to three dominant structural changes: the development of interconnecting
ties between the sand particles, the development of adhesion between neighboring sand particles in contact, and the covering
of the sand particles with a thin polymer film. 相似文献
