Simulation of the 2011 South Sakhalin mud volcano eruption based on the GPS data

Sakhalin Island is the only region in the Russian Far East where mud volcanism is manifested on land. The South Sakhalin mud volcano is located in the south of the island in the zone of the Central Sakhalin Fault (upthrow-thrust). The horizontal and vertical displacements of the earth’s surface after this mud volcano erupted in 2011 are revealed for the first time based on the GPS observation data. On the basis of the inversion of the measured displacements for the homogeneous elastic half-space, a model of the finite spherical eruption source is constructed. The coordinates, depth, and possible size of the source are defined and the volumes of the erupted clay rock, water, and gas are estimated.     

Neotectonic and modern stresses of South Sakhalin

Tectonophysical studies are conducted in South Sakhalin for identification of temporal–spatial changes in the geodynamic settings of the formation of the local structures. Analysis of the field data reveals 11 local stress state (LSS) in the large newest megastructures, which were formed on geological basement of different ages. The parameters of the tectonic stresses are significantly distinct in each LSS, especially the orientations (up to reindexation) of the compression and extension axes in different fault wings. Tectonic stresses of two ages and constant latitudinal and horizontal compression axis are reconstructed. The earlier cofold shear stress field with a horizontal and longitudinal extension axis is post-Miocene and the later stress field of the reversed fault with a vertical extension axis is orogenic. The LSSs reconstructed for the first time by the displacement vectors on slickensides, along with the data on the earthquake mechanisms, substantiate the reindexation of the horizontal extension axis with the vertical intermediate axis of major normal stresses at the postfold orogenic stage of evolution of the territory. These results are in agreement with previous data on the transformation of the dextral to reverse thrust displacements along the longitudinal fault systems. The young stress field is more confidently interpreted in the activation fault zones, which limit the orogenic blocks, whereas the traces of cofold deformations without younger orogenic stress fields better remain inside the blocks which are composed of older and strongly dislocated Mesozoic rocks.     

Physical properties of rocks in the zone of transition from the Asian continent to the Pacific Ocean

Velocity-density relationships in the south of Sakhalin, Primor'ye, Chukotka, Kamchatka, and the south of the Greater Kuril island arc are based on Neogene - lower Paleozoic rock samples from the part of the crust accessible to drilling. The calculated densities differ in regions with a different type of development of the crust. A comparison of the possible nature of the stresses in the crust of such regions during post-Cretaceous time suggests a similiar pattern of evolution of the crust of Japan and the south of the Kuril arc. The increased densities in the lower part of the crust in Sakhalin and Japan could evidently serve as a source of energy for the completion of future folding of this region.

The disproportion of changes in the velocities of the P and S waves with change in pressure on the rock samples suggest the possibility of discriminating the predominant directions (horizontal or vertical) of past tectonic stresses. A study of the changes in velocities of the P and S waves in the tectonically weakened regions of the crust may provide information on the present stress state of the earth. —Author.     

多次冻融后格栅加筋黏土路堤工作性能分析

利用多次冻融后加筋黏土路堤相关试验参数对其进行有限元计算, 确定了加筋黏土结构各初始因素对其工作性能的影响规律, 并利用ABAQUS有限元计算软件对各种计算条件下的位移和应力进行求解, 确定了冻融循环后位移和应力的最大值. 结果显示: 增加加筋黏土路堤中的格栅层数可以减小冻融后加筋路堤的竖向和水平位移及土体剪应力最大值, 且格栅层数的增加对土体变形的影响强于对土体剪应力值的影响. 土体压实度的增大可以减小加筋路堤的竖向和水平位移, 同时引起土中剪应力数值的增大; 土体初始含水率的减小可以减小加筋路堤的竖向和水平位移, 同时引起土中剪应力数值的减小.

利用水压致裂法和套孔应力解除法对淮南矿区-500～-1 000 m深度范围内的12个矿井进行了地应力测量,取得了19个有效测点的数据。数据分析表明：（1）淮南矿区深部地应力场以水平应力为主,构造应力占绝对优势,属于典型的构造应力场类型;（2）地应力量级属高应力水平;（3）垂直主应力、最大及最小水平主应力随深度的增加均呈增大趋势;（4）侧压系数 随深度增大而减小,地应力场有从大地动应力场型向准静水压力场型过渡的趋势;（5）侧压比 的回归曲线分布于Hoek-Brown内外包线带内,且变化趋势与Hoek-Brown曲线相似,但与Hoek-Brown曲线相比,回归曲线 值偏小;（6）最大水平主应力与最小水平主应力的比值范围为1.12～2.02,其中68.42%的测点分布在1.67～2.02之间;（7）最大水平主应力方位为NEE－EW向。最后探讨了淮南矿区地应力与地质构造的关系,分析认为,矿区最大主应力方向与构造运动密切相关,矿区现今构造应力场最大主应力方位与实测最大水平主应力方位大致吻合。     

不同地质成因岩石地应力分布规律的统计分析

通过收集我国大陆地区大量的实测地应力资料,筛选出了受局部影响小的实测数据,建立了岩浆岩、沉积岩和变质岩地应力随埋深分布的散点图,并根据各自的分布规律进行了相应的回归分析。结果发现,三大类岩石的地应力分布规律存在差异,其主要与岩石地质成因相关。三大类岩石的垂直应力总体上随埋深呈线性增大,量值接近各自上覆岩层自重;最大水平主应力随埋深均呈线性增大,相同埋深条件下,火成岩量值最大,变质岩次之,沉积岩最小;而沉积岩浅部最小水平应力大于岩浆岩;三大类岩石的水平差应力总体上随埋深也呈线性关系,相同埋深条件下,火成岩较大,而沉积岩较小;浅部岩浆岩平均水平主应力与垂直应力之比最大,而沉积岩较小。     

鄂尔多斯盆地延长组页岩裂缝特征与地应力研究

鄂尔多斯盆地延长组是我国近些年陆相页岩气的重点勘探区之一。本文从页岩的露头观测、岩石学特征、成像测井分析、地应力特征及可压裂性等方面,研究了鄂尔多斯盆地延长组泥页岩层段的裂缝发育特征,以及地应力对人工压裂诱导缝的影响。基于岩石学分析,延长组长7和长9段的泥页岩脆性矿物平均含量较高,分别为57.2%和44%。根据泥页岩露头观测和成像测井分析,长7段泥页岩发育有北东东向为主的垂直裂缝组,同时可见北北东向和南北向的垂直裂缝组。此外,压裂诱导缝的优势方位和成像测井分析结果表明,现今最大水平主应力方向为70°左右（即北东东向）。裂缝开启性分析表明,北东东向至近东西向裂缝组与现今最大水平地应力方向一致,开启性较好;而北北东裂缝组与现今最大水平地应力交角相对较大,开启性相对较差。因为现今地应力的水平应力比值（σH/σh = 1.54）相对较小,在后期人工压裂中延长组泥页岩中的诱导裂缝更倾向形成复杂的裂缝网格系统,这样会使裂缝与储层之间获得最大的接触,从而更有利于提高产能。

Analysis of the Wenchuan Ms8.0 Earthquake’s Co-seismic Stress and Displacement Change by Using the Finite Element Method

The variation of in situ stress before and after earthquakes is an issue studied by geologists. In this paper, on the basis of the fault slip dislocation model of Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake, the changes of co-seismic displacement and the distribution functions of stress tensor around the Longmen Shan fault zone are calculated. The results show that the co-seismic maximum surface displacement is 4.9 m in the horizontal direction and 6.5 m in the vertical direction, which is almost consistent with the on-site survey and GPS observations. The co-seismic maximum horizontal stress in the hanging wall and footwall decreased sharply as the distance from the Longmen Shan fault zone increased. However, the vertical stress and minimum horizontal stress increased in the footwall and in some areas of the hanging wall. The study of the co-seismic displacement and stress was mainly focused on the long and narrow region along the Longmen Shan fault zone, which coincides with the distribution of the earthquake aftershocks. Therefore, the co-seismic stress only affects the aftershocks, and does not affect distant faults and seismic activities. The results are almost consistent with in situ stress measurements at the two sites before and after Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake. Along the fault plane, the co-seismic shear stress in the dip direction is larger than that in the strike direction, which indicates that the faulting mechanism of the Longmen Shan fault zone is a dominant thrust with minor strike-slipping. The results can be used as a reference value for future studies of earthquake mechanisms.

本文运用水压致裂地应力测量方法,对我国某地下油库预可行性研究工程场区两个钻孔进行了地应力测量。测量结果表明:最大和最小水平主应力(S_H,S_h)都远大于对应深度处的垂向应力(S_v),三向主应力的关系为:S_H > S_h > S_v,应力大小在该深度范围属中等偏大级别;工程场区最大水平主应力方向近EW方向,与测点外围确定的区域最大水平主应力总体方向较为一致;建议未来地下硐库长轴按近EW分布,地应力状态、岩体结构构造、岩石强度等基本保证了其岩体稳定性。      

Ⅰ与Ⅱ类煤中地应力与多分支水平井壁稳定性的关系

有效防止水平井段孔眼坍塌是煤层气多分支水平井钻井成功率的有利保障之一,而煤体结构和地应力是影响成孔的两大主要因素。基于目前多分支水平井井身结构和煤体孔裂隙系统特征及弹性力学理论,分别建立了Ⅰ、Ⅱ类煤相关切向应力模型。根据该模型,分析了Ⅰ、Ⅱ类煤中垂直地应力与水平地应力不同大小、与主支和侧支钻进方向不同情况下的受力情况。结果表明:Ⅰ类煤中沿水平最小主应力钻进成孔最难,沿水平最大主应力方向成孔最容易;Ⅱ类煤中钻进方向由外生主裂隙与水平最大主应力夹角决定。      

地震作用下边坡动力响应的数值模拟研究

汶川地震中在硬岩、次硬岩区域出现的一些大规模斜坡破坏现象超出了以往对地震作用下边坡稳定性问题的认识。本文使用FEPG有限元程序分析了水平和垂直2种不同加载方式作用下,经过不同的震动持续时间,不含裂隙岩质坡体内部的应力场和位移场的变化规律。得出的结论认为,在输入震动振幅为0.1m的加载作用下,岩质边坡内部的应力和位移均出现极值:在边坡的顶部及坡面上最大拉伸应力值大于100MPa,超过了花岗岩、灰岩等硬岩、次硬岩的抗拉强度,可能使岩体产生破裂发生崩塌、滑坡灾害。研究结果还表明,与水平方向振动加载相比,垂直方向振动加载产生的响应结果要大,边坡顶端一点的在垂直方向位移的峰值达到0.43m,远远超过了输入的震动振幅,垂直方向的震动是引起边坡的不稳定的主要因素。此外,震动持续时间越长,造成的变形和破坏就越大。

对挡土墙背离填土绕墙脚转动时墙后滑裂土体的应力状态进行了详细分析,建立了墙后滑裂体水平土层墙面反力、滑裂面反力、土层间剪力和土层竖向土压力强度之间的关系式。为了考虑挡土墙绕墙脚转动时墙脚局部土体并未达到极限状态,对墙面摩擦角、滑裂面土体的内摩擦角予以折减。在水平土层单元法的基础上,考虑水平土层间剪力作用、每一土层的墙面摩擦角和滑裂面水平倾角等的变化,建立了土层竖向土压力强度的逐层渐近的计算方法,并给出了挡土墙主动土压力强度、土压力合力及其作用位置的计算公式。经比较表明：挡土墙主动土压力分布曲线与试验结果基本一致,计算得的主动土压力系数与试验结果很接近,比库仑解大;计算得出的滑裂面为一曲面,其顶部开裂宽度比库仑滑裂面小,与工程实际相符。
