Proportioning earthquake‐resistant RC frames in central/eastern U.S.

A maximum allowable period criterion is used to determine reasonable stiffness requirements for reinforced concrete frames with the seismicity associated with central and eastern U.S. A general relationship is developed to describe the displacement demand expected for central and eastern U.S. based on a survey of available ground motions, opinions of seismologists, and code‐based provisions. A series of hypothetical reinforced concrete frames is proportioned using a maximum allowable period criterion and evaluated for expected maximum displacement response using non‐linear dynamic analyses and a suite of ground motions. Results indicate that for the reinforced concrete structural systems considered in the study, proportioning for gravity loads will provide sufficient stiffness in central and eastern U.S. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

云南地区地震宏观异常特征研究

经历史震例及近几年地震震前短临跟踪预报实践，对宏观异常进行深入剖析，认为：宏观异常内容和数量多少与震级有关；宏观异常不只是短临和临震异常信息。也有不少是中短期、短期异常信息；宏观异常分布在震中及附近地区；最早出现的宏观异常地点对未来地震震中有一定指示意义。     

一种新的卫星热红外遥感信息数据源:EOS/MODIS数据

概略介绍了四川省地震局近年来所开展的卫星遥感热红外辐射信息用于地震监测预报的研究工作及其进展；对目前地震系统卫星遥感热红外辐射信息研究工作所使用的数据源进行了比较；着重介绍了一种新的卫星热红外遥感信息数据源——搭载于美国地球观测系统(EOS)的Terra和Aqua极轨卫星上的中分辨率成像光谱仪(MODIS)这一唯一进行直接广播的对地观测仪器的基本参数及数据特性。对MODIS数据与目前正在使用的AVHRR数据进行对比分析后认为，EOS／MODIS数据的产生，将进一步推动利用卫星热红外辐射资料研究强震前的热异常场的工作，并可望在我国地震监测预报实践中得到应用。     

中强地震前油井动态异常机理研究

在分析油井映震特征的基础上，着重对油井动态异常的形成机理进行了研究。认为：映震灵敏井孔的空间分布主要受应力易于集中的构造条件的控制，特别是断层的又汇处、转折端和断裂带，这是与其他流体观测项目的相同之处；在本研究中，首次提出了油井动态前兆异常形成的三种力学过程，即岩土力学过程、水动力学过程和气体动力学过程以及油井特有的二种”放大”作用（变径和气体膨胀）的观点；解释了油井动态震前多为正异常的力学机制。

城市建成环境对居民体力活动的影响 ——以福州市的经验研究为例

利用福州中心城区的社会调查、POI、道路网、用地性质等数据,在社区尺度探究城市建成环境对居民休闲型中高强度体力活动的影响。研究发现：① 低密度土地利用与体力活动时长呈正向关联,功能单一和邻近主干道则对体力活动起到抑制作用。② 体力活动目的地对不同人群具有差异化影响,体育用地和付费运动场所仅能促进中高阶层和中高收入者的体力活动,而周边公共运动设施的丰富程度更具普适性意义。③ 通过纳入运动偏好和单独分析保障房、单位大院及房改房住户达到规避居住自选择的目的,证明上述建成环境特征对体力活动的影响是独立且稳健的。

Inelastic buildings with tuned mass dampers under moderate ground motions from distant earthquakes

The effectiveness of tuned mass dampers (TMD) in vibration control of buildings was investigated under moderate ground shaking caused by long‐distance earthquakes with frequency contents resembling the 1985 Mexico City (SCT) or the 1995 Bangkok ground motion. The elastic–perfectly plastic material behaviour was assumed for the main structure, with linear TMDs employed by virtue of their simplicity and robustness. The accumulated hysteretic energy dissipation affected by TMD was examined, and the ratio of the hysteretic energy absorption in the structure with TMD to that without it is proposed to be used, in conjunction with the peak displacement ratio, as a supplementary TMD performance index since it gives an indication of the accumulated damage induced in the inelastic structures. For the ground motions considered, TMD would be effective in reducing the hysteretic energy absorption demand in the critical storeys for buildings in the 1.8–2.8 s range. The consequence is reduction in damage of the buildings which would otherwise suffer heavy damage in the absence of TMD, resulting in economical restorability in the damage control limit state. This is of practical significance in view of the current trend toward performance‐based design. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
