Interaction of oblique waves with infinite number of perforated caissons

An analytic solution based on the division of the fluid domain is developed for the interaction of obliquely incident waves with infinite number of perforated caissons. The whole fluid domain is firstly divided into infinite sub-domains according to the division of structures, and subsequently eigenfunction expansion is employed to represent the velocity potential in each domain. A phase relation is utilized for the analysis of wave oscillation in each caisson, and the character of structure geometry is considered in setting up the mathematical model of reflection waves. The reflection waves from the present analysis include many propagation waves traveling in different directions when the incident wave frequency is high. Benchmark examinations show that the continuous condition of water particle velocity is satisfied at the front walls of caissons, and the reflection coefficients keep agreement with the energy conservation relation very well when porous effect parameter is infinite. Numerical results show that the reflection coefficients of obliquely incident waves are smaller when the length of caissons is shorter at low frequency. The wave reflection coefficients and the wave forces normal to caissons decrease and the wave forces along caissons increase with the increase of the wave incident angle.     

Geochronological arguments for a close relationship between surficial formation profiles and environmental crisis (c. 3000–2000 BP) in Gabon (Central Africa)

We present new ¹⁴C data on charcoal fragments recovered from the lower (coarse-grained Stone Line) and upper (fine-grained Cover Horizon) portions of surficial formation profiles in Gabon. These data and others compiled from the literature enable a reconstruction of the Upper Holocene geological regional history of Gabon. The connection between the geological events recorded in the surficial formations and the Upper Holocene environmental crisis is discussed and a scenario connecting geological events with climatic and environmental changes is proposed. Such a scenario suggests that following the climatic crisis, the reconstitution of soils by aeolian sedimentation could have been an important factor of Bantu expansion.

Approximate up-scaling of geo-spatial variables applied to deep foundation design

We present a series of simple approximate methods for up-scaling the cumulative distribution function of spatially correlated variables by using an effective number n _e of independent variables. Methods are based on the property of distribution permanence of the gamma and inverse Gaussian distributions under averaging, bootstrap sampling and expansions about the normal and gamma distributions. A stochastic simulation study is used to validate each method, and simple parameters are defined to identify respective ranges of applicability. A practical example is presented where core sample rock strength data are up-scaled to shaft size for probabilistic (risk-based) deep foundation design. Supplemental material is available online.     

Extension of subset simulation approach for uncertainty propagation and global sensitivity analysis

The subset simulation (SS) method is a probabilistic approach which is devoted to efficiently calculating a small failure probability. Contrary to Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) methodology which is very time-expensive when evaluating a small failure probability, the SS method has the advantage of assessing the small failure probability in a much shorter time. However, this approach does not provide any information about the probability density function (PDF) of the system response. In addition, it does not provide any information about the contribution of each input uncertain parameter in the variability of this response. Finally, the SS approach cannot be used to calculate the partial safety factors which are generally obtained from a reliability analysis. To overcome these shortcomings, the SS approach is combined herein with the Collocation-based Stochastic Response Surface Method (CSRSM) to compute these outputs. This combination is carried out by using the different values of the system response obtained by the SS approach for the determination of the unknown coefficients of the polynomial chaos expansion in CSRSM. An example problem that involves the computation of the ultimate bearing capacity of a strip footing is presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed procedure. The validation of the present method is performed by comparison with MCS methodology applied on the original deterministic model. Finally, a probabilistic parametric study is presented and discussed.     

Urban expansion in Xiongan New Area since 1975

Abstract

Although urban expansion has been extensively studied at different scales in China, relatively little attention has been paid to the county scale. Xiongan New Area (XNA) was selected as the study area and its urban expansion processes from 1975 to 2017 were retrieved using remote sensing and GIS technology, and its spatial-temporal characteristics of urban expansion were revealed from the aspects of basic characteristics of urban expansion, urban spatial morphological evolution, interactions of urban lands, and assessments of the imbalanced degree of population-land urbanization. Results indicated that urban lands in XNA expanded significantly. Cultivated lands were the first land source for urban expansion. Urban lands mainly adopted the edge-expansion, which rendered the urban fringes to be complex and irregular. The interaction of three counties in XNA was strengthened successively, especially after the implementation of the ‘New Urbanization’ strategy. Population-land urbanization was inharmonious but has improved from moderate to mild imbalance.     

Thermal expansion and dehydroxylation of phengite micas

Phengite samples (2M ₁ and 3T politypes) and a synthetic end-member muscovite specimen were studied by in situ high-temperature synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction. The measured volume thermal expansion of 2M ₁ phengite (<α _V> ≈ 36.6 × 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹) was systematically greater than <α _V> of the 3T polytype (≈33.3 × 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹). A positive linear correlation between the average thermal expansion on (001) plane and the mean tetrahedral rotation angle at ambient condition is proposed on the ground of new measurements and literature data. Dehydroxylation processes were observed in 2M ₁, starting at 1,000 K in 3T at 800 and 945 K in synthetic muscovite. Rietveld refinements allowed a determination of structural variations upon heating of phengite samples and their dehydroxylate phases. The phengite structure expands by regularizing the tetrahedral sheet and by reducing the bond length differences between the outer and inner coordination shell of the interlayer site. The dehydroxylate phase derived from 2M ₁ is characterized by fivefold polyhedra in the low temperature form as a consequence of two OH groups reacting to form H₂O + O (residual). The dehydroxylate exhibits an increase of the cation–cation distances along the M–Or–M bonds with respect to low-temperature phengite structures. For the 3T phase, we were unable to achieve completion of dehydroxylation. The refined structural model of the dehydroxylate phase shows two hydroxyl sites, but at a short distance from one another. This result suggests that the dehydroxylation reaction did not proceed to completion.

青藏高原山地湖泊扩涨与山地关系分析

基于1∶10万与1∶50万地形图,考察了青藏高原的山地湖泊及其流域的河流(水文)、雪线、冰川高度、各高度山地面积与湖泊面积之间的关系。高原湖泊的规模与流域山地(其高度,中、西部湖拔大于500～750m,东部大于250m)存在密切关系。揭示山地降水是湖泊水的主要来源,其质(低温)与量是维持湖泊一定规模与稳定存在的主要因素。由于山地湖泊存在这种特殊的水文特点,因此,地质历史时期的暖湿期,高原山地湖泊比之低地、丘陵湖泊,扩涨规模可能更为显著。40～23kaB.P,高原山地湖泊异乎寻常地扩涨,可能是降水在暖期季风雨增加时,在山地区增高更甚,更多的低温水流贮湖泊造成的。
