An experimental study of nominally symmetric and asymmetric structures isolated with the FPS

This experimental investigation deals with the earthquake behaviour of a nominally symmetric and a mass‐asymmetric three‐storey structural model isolated with the frictional pendulum system (FPS). Both accidental and natural torsion are evaluated in the structure by using recorded accelerations in all building floors and measured deformations at the isolation level. A 3D‐shaking table was used to subject the model to five different ground motions, including impulsive as well as far‐field subduction‐zone type earthquakes. Results show that the analytical predictions of the earthquake behaviour of the isolated structure, as obtained from a physical model of the FPS, are in close agreement with the true complex inelastic measured behaviour of the FPS. Besides, experimental results also validate previous observations about the importance of accounting for the variability of the normal loads in modelling the earthquake behaviour of FPS isolators. Measured torsional deformation amplifications at the base of the building vary, in the mean, from 2.5% to 6% for the symmetric and asymmetric structural configurations, respectively. In relation to the fixed base structure, the reduction factors for the base shear of the isolated structure are, in the mean, about 3.9 for both configurations. Finally, it is concluded that the FPS is capable of controlling the lateral–torsional motions of mass‐asymmetric structures quite effectively by aligning the centre of mass of the superstructure with the centre of pendular and frictional resistance of the isolation system.

Physical model for dynamic analysis of structures with FPS isolators

This article presents a physical model for frictional pendulum isolators (FPS) that is ready to be implemented in most commercial software. The model is capable of accounting for effects such as large deformations, sticking, and uplift and impact by sensing the normal loads in the isolators through a gap element. Sticking has been incorporated into the model by extending the Park–Wen hysteretic model to the case of large deformations. The proposed model has been tested against a theoretically ‘exact’ formulation leading to essentially identical results. To facilitate its use, the physical FPS model has been cast into a typical non‐linear structural element format, i.e. with deformation as input and restoring force as output. Examples of a building and a bridge have been chosen to show the potential of the element and to provide further insight into the earthquake response of structures with FPS isolators; in particular, in aspects such as the orientation in placement of the isolator, sticking, P? Δ, and other large deformation effects. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

基于密集台阵地震背景噪声成像预测煤矿瓦斯分布

瓦斯突出是一种常见的煤矿动力灾害现象,随着煤矿矿井开采深度的增加,煤层瓦斯含量、压力都呈上升趋势,发生煤与瓦斯突出的危险性加大.传统的瓦斯测量方法只能测量局部离散点瓦斯含量,难以从矿井及采区尺度对瓦斯含量进行预测.因此需要寻求一种能够在采区及工作面布设前预测煤层瓦斯富集程度的高效地球物理方法.背景噪声成像方法已经在城市地下空间、矿产资源等近地表成像中得到广泛的运用.本文将该方法首次应用到阳泉寺家庄煤矿井田区域,采用96个台站记录的连续背景噪声数据,通过互相关方法获得了台站对之间的瑞利面波经验格林函数,并进一步提取了5 Hz~1.4 s的基阶瑞利面波的群速度和相速度频散曲线.本研究首先通过区域的平均频散曲线获得该区域的平均一维横波速度结构作为三维反演的初始模型;其次,利用基于射线追踪的面波频散直接成像方法获得研究区1.0 km以浅的三维横波速度结构;最后,结合获得的三维速度结构,以及岩石物理实验获得的瓦斯含量与地震波速度的经验关系,预测了寺家庄井田15号煤的瓦斯含量,预测的瓦斯含量与实际巷道揭露的瓦斯含量具有较好的一致性.本研究成果表明,对于煤矿瓦斯分布预测来说,背景噪声成像方法是一种潜在有效的全新的技术形式.

     

利用接收函数散射核方法探测中国东北地区地幔转换带界面三维形态

地幔转换带是上下地幔物质运移和能量交换的必经通道,其速度结构和上下界面的起伏能够为认识地幔内部的温度和物质变化、地幔对流模式等地球演化相关的科学问题提供关键约束.本文利用布设在中国东北地区的高密度固定台网和流动台阵所记录的远震体波接收函数,采用Ps散射核叠前深度偏移成像方法,获得了台站下方地幔转换带界面及其内部速度间断面的三维精细图像.研究结果表明：西北太平洋俯冲板片上下界面在地幔转换带内清晰可见,在高纬度（44°N）区域存在约30°的倾角;660-km间断面的深度起伏具有明显的分区性,在与俯冲板片相交处以西200~300 km,界面出现约20~40 km的下沉,而长白山和龙岗火山的西北区域存在约5~15 km的抬升,分别与板片滞留引起的低温异常和局部热物质上涌相对应;410-km间断面的起伏形态较复杂,在大部分区域观测到大于10 km的下沉,且表现出明显的区域性横向变化,与深俯冲动力学背景下冷的温度异常造成的影响不一致.我们认为板片俯冲、停滞和海沟后撤过程中引起的地幔转换带物质异常、含水状态及分布的变化是显著改变410-km间断面形态的主要原因.本文获得的高精度地幔转换带界面三维形态为更好地认识东北亚地区俯冲板片在地幔物质分布和能量交换中的作用提供了重要参考.

     

鄂尔多斯地块周缘三维地壳速度结构研究

鄂尔多斯地块及周缘位于青藏高原与华北地块之间,其内部无大断裂分布,而周缘却由活跃的地震带——活动断陷带和弧形断裂带包围.因此,鄂尔多斯地块内部无6级以上大地震分布,而周缘地震活动则频度高、强度大(图1),历史上发生多次破坏性大地震,如:1654 年天水南8.0 级、1879 年武都南8.0级、1920 年宁夏海原81/...     

基于IDA的层间隔震结构失效模式研究

层间隔震结构是由基础隔震结构发展而来的一种新型隔震结构。为研究层间隔震结构的倒塌,需先研究不同层间隔震结构的不同失效模式和失效位置,文章建立了3个不同结构参数的层间隔震结构有限元模型,选取20条与抗震规范反应谱吻合的地震动,采用增量动力分析（IDA）方法,分别对其失效模式和失效位置进行研究。研究表明:基于不同的结构参数,层间隔震的基本失效模式有三种,即隔震层水平位移超限导致结构失效、下部结构层间位移角超限导致结构失效、隔震层拉压应力超限导致结构失效;隔震层下部结构和隔震层最外边缘支座为结构的薄弱位置,应引起更多关注。此方法不仅可以研究结构的不同失效模式,还可以确定失效位置,可为下一步层间隔震结构的抗倒塌分析提供理论基础。
