An improved SPH method for saturated soils and its application to investigate the mechanisms of embankment failure: Case of hydrostatic pore‐water pressure

The method of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) has recently been applied to computational geomechanics and has been shown to be a powerful alternative to the standard numerical method, that is, the finite element method, for handling large deformation and post‐failure of geomaterials. However, very few studies apply the SPH method to model saturated or submerged soil problems. Our recent studies of this matter revealed that significant errors may be made if the gradient of the pore‐water pressure is handled using the standard SPH formulation. To overcome this problem and to enhance the SPH applications to computational geomechanics, this article proposes a general SPH formulation, which can be applied straightforwardly to dry and saturated soils. For simplicity, the current work assumes hydrostatic pore‐water pressure. It is shown that the proposed formulation can remove the numerical error mentioned earlier. Moreover, this formulation automatically satisfies the dynamic boundary conditions at a submerged ground surface, thereby saving computational cost. Discussions on the applications of the standard and new SPH formulations are also given through some numerical tests. Furthermore, techniques to obtain the correct SPH solution are also proposed and discussed throughout. As an application of the proposed method, the effect of the dilatancy angle on the failure mechanism of a two‐sided embankment subjected to a high groundwater table is presented and compared with that of other solutions. Finally, the proposed formulation can be considered a basic formulation for further developments of SPH for saturated soils. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

闽粤台沿海北西西向最新构造带与大震构造背景

闽粤台沿海自台湾运动以来逐渐形成了多条北西西向隆起—拗陷的最新活动构造带,与已知的北东—北北东向隆起、拗陷带构成了区域性镶嵌构造格局。 研究区内除板块相互碰撞、俯冲及上地幔物质上涌形成大震构造背景外,莫霍面隆起或隆起断距大、低速层厚、地壳变薄、近两、三千年地表抬升差异活动显著以及台东近海有北西西向构造活动等,也都是发生大震的重要构造背景

Field survey of the East Java earthquake and tsunami of June 3, 1994

A field survey of the June 3, 1994 East Java earthquake tsunami was conducted within three weeks, and the distributions of the seismic intensities, tsunami heights, and human and house damages were surveyed. The seismic intensities on the south coasts of Java and Bali Islands were small for an earthquake with magnitudeM 7.6. The earthquake caused no land damage. About 40 minutes after the main shock, a huge tsunami attacked the coasts, several villages in East Java Province were damaged severely, and 223 persons perished. At Pancer Village about 70 percent of the houses were swept away and 121 persons were killed by the tsunami. The relationship between tsunami heights and distances from the source shows that the Hatori's tsunami magnitude wasm=3, which seems to be larger for the earthquake magnitude. But we should not consider this an extraordinary event because it was pointed out byHatori (1994) that the magnitudes of tsunamis in the Indonesia-Philippine region generally exceed 1–2 grade larger than those of other regions.     

多物理参量检验防雹效果的研究

除使用地面冰雹资料（即冰雹动能、质量、降雹强度等）外，还选用了反映雹云变化的雷达回波参量等１０个物理参量，作为作业效果的检验量，检验防雹效果。结果表明：高炮作业后雷达回波顶高、强度及３０ｄｂｚ强回波顶高显著地比作业前小；作业区比未作业区冰雹动能、冰雹质量、冰雹动能通量、质量通量、最大冰雹直径、数密度以及降雹持续时间也有明显减小。     

低纬高原冰雹与暴雨对比分析

通过对低纬高原地区多个冰雹和暴雨个例的多方面的对比分析,发现冰雹和暴雨的发生在大气环境背景、大气层结、大气不稳定性及云图特征上既有一些相似之处,也存在一些明显的区别.研究发现,发生冰雹时,中纬度低槽较偏南,受北方天气系统影响明显;发生暴雨时,受热带系统影响明显,中纬度低槽稍偏北.在冰雹发生前,大气中层较干、低层较湿,但层结仍为较稳定的状态;在暴雨发生前,大气中、低层均较湿,层结为弱稳定状态.冰雹的发生要求下层大气气温相对较低,以使雹粒在溶化之前可到达地面,而暴雨的发生要求大气富含水汽.冰雹以冬春多见,夏季较少;暴雨以夏季较多,而冬春较少.与此对应,产生暴雨的强对流其对流强度要强于产生冰雹的,但对于同一季节发生的冰雹和暴雨,两者的对流强度是相近的.
