航空重力确定大地水准面的研究

随着近年来航空重力的发展,航空重力数据的精度和分辨率不断提高,其精度可达1 mGal,分辨率可达10km,这使得用航空重力数据计算精密大地水准面成为可能。本研究介绍利用满足一定条件的稳定、精确的航空重力数据计算大地水准面的一种新途径。它根据布隆公式,分离大地水准面与参考椭球,把航空重力观测值转换为大地水准面上的重力位,从而确定大地水准面。其具体步骤如下: 1.对重力扰动观测数据进行低通滤波,除去高频观测噪声; 2.利用全球重力场模型从低通滤波的重力     

Soil bentonite wall protects foundation from thrust faulting: analyses and experiment

When seismic thrust faults emerge on the ground surface,they are particularly damaging to buildings,bridges and lifelines that lie on the rupture path.To protect a structure founded on a rigid raft,a thick diaphragm-type soil bentonite wall(SBW) is installed in front of and near the foundation,at sufficient depth to intercept the propagating fault rupture.Extensive numerical analyses,verified against reduced–scale(1 g) split box physical model tests,reveal that such a wall,thanks to its high deformability and low shear resistance,"absorbs" the compressive thrust of the fault and forces the rupture to deviate upwards along its length.As a consequence,the foundation is left essentially intact.The effectiveness of SBW is demonstrated to depend on the exact location of the emerging fault and the magnitude of the fault offset.When the latter is large,the unprotected foundation experiences intolerable rigid-body rotation even if the foundation structural distress is not substantial.

人们对于与城市雨水有关的非点状源污染的关注，促使更好地规划水质的新工具得到了发展。本文介绍ＧＩＳ在城市水质研究中的应用。这种ＧＩＳ用于管理非点状源污染模型的土地利用数据，还可用于总计各种地理单元之中污染物的负荷量，在土地利用的基础上用水质经验模型来估算污染负荷量。通过判读最新的航空像片更新旧图从而编出土地利用图。这种土地利用图同样也可用来记录每个土地利用多边形的所有污染负荷量。通过对雨水沟图的数字     

润滑剂摩擦特性及其对顶管推力和管-土相互作用的影响

润滑剂普遍应用于项管工程中,尤其是在复杂地质条件和长距离顶管中。使用润滑剂的主要目的是减小管土之间的摩擦力,但是定量地确定这两者之间的真实接触情况是十分困难的。测量管-土相互作用的新型技术目前仍然很少并有待进一步发展,所以只能利用间接手段测定管土之间的相互作用,并且这些测量方法的应用基于对工程的定性评价。本研究应用一种简单的试验方法来测定台湾地区最常用的润滑剂的摩擦特性,这些摩擦特性可以用于顶力的估算和直线与曲线顶管中管-土相互作用的数值分析。对顶力的分析结果表明顶力的减小与摩擦系数的减小密切相关,并且润滑剂在曲线顶管中的作用比在直线顶管中略大。此外,对台中科技园中400m长直线顶管工程的研究显示由经验公式得到的顶力估算值比实际要大,这表明由超挖造成的管土之间接触面积的减小对砂砾石地层中顶管施工的影响是非常显著的。     

地球物理探矿研究中的新发展:大地电流

礦產原料當中可作為能力來源的一向被人重視,在這些礦物中作為內燃機燃料的基礎的石油尤其重要,我們可以舉幾個數字作為證例。 蘇聯在1955年所產的原油達7000萬噸,1960年的計劃產量將達13500萬噸。在美國1954年全國所消費的能量有66.8％是從石油和天然氣供給的,而煤炭供給的部分僅佔29.3％。但是在1950年時煤炭供給的能量尚佔全國消費的總能量     

Response of single benthic metrics and multi-metric methods to anthropogenic pressure gradients, in five distinct European coastal and transitional ecosystems

In recent times many benthic indices have been proposed to assess the ecological quality of marine waters worldwide. In this study we compared single metrics and multi-metric methods to assess coastal and transitional benthic status along human pressure gradients in five distinct environments across Europe: Varna bay and lake (Bulgaria), Lesina lagoon (Italy), Mondego estuary (Portugal), Basque coast (Spain) and Oslofjord (Norway). Hence, 13 single metrics (abundance, number of taxa, and several diversity and sensitivity indices) and eight of the most common indices used within the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) for benthic assessment were selected: index of size spectra (ISS), Benthic assessment tool (BAT), Norwegian quality index (NQI), Multivariate AMBI (M-AMBI), Benthic quality index (BQI), (Benthic ecosystem quality index (BEQI), Benthic index based on taxonomic sufficiency (BITS), and infaunal quality index (IQI). Within each system, sampling sites were ordered in an increasing pressure gradient according to a preliminary classification based on professional judgement. The different indices are largely consistent in their response to pressure gradient, except in some particular cases (i.e. BITS, in all cases, or ISS when a low number of individuals is present). Inconsistencies between indicator responses were most pronounced in transitional waters (i.e. IQI, BEQI), highlighting the difficulties of the generic application of indicators to all marine, estuarine and lagoonal environments. However, some of the single (i.e. ecological groups approach, diversity, richness) and multi-metric methods (i.e. BAT, M-AMBI, NQI) were able to detect such gradients both in transitional and coastal environments, being these multi-metric methods more consistent in the detection than single indices. This study highlights the importance of survey design and good reference conditions for some indicators. The agreement observed between different methodologies and their ability to detect quality trends across distinct environments constitutes a promising result for the implementation of the WFD’s monitoring plans. Moreover, these results have management implications, regarding the dangers of misclassification, uncertainty in the assessment, use of conflicting indices, and testing and validation of indices.     

Spatial and temporal variability of hard-bottom macrofauna in a disturbed coastal lagoon (Sacca di Goro, Po River Delta, Northwestern Adriatic Sea)

The sessile and mobile macrobenthos on artificial hard bottoms was studied in 12 stations of the Sacca di Goro lagoon, a brackish, highly stressed water basin in the delta of the river Po, open to the Northwestern Adriatic Sea. Three sampling surveys were carried out in June and September 2000 and June 2001 in order to make three types of temporal comparisons: (i) on a seasonal scale, before and after a summer dystrophic event; (ii) on an annual basis, before and after the works of excavation of a canal through the outer sand bank; (iii) on a multiannual scale, comparing the data with those of a survey carried out in 1988. The biocoenoses did not show large fluctuations after a moderately severe summer dystrophic crisis, while the digging of the canal caused clear changes in the macrobenthos community structure after one year. The long-term comparison showed a shift in the community patterns after a decade.
