Extracting the Group Velocity of Rayleigh Waves from the Cross Correlation of the Ambient Seismic Noise Between Two Seismic Stations

This paper uses the 8 broad-band stations＇ microseism data recorded by the Seismic Monitoring Network of Fujian Province to calculate the vertical correlation coefficient between two stations at intervals of 5 minutes. According to the time intervals technique we obtain the different coefficients and then add the correlative coefficients. Depending on this, we extract the group velocity of Rayleigh waves from the cross correlation of the ambient seismic noise between two seismic stations and figure out the group velocity＇ spatial distribution. The results show that the signal noise ratio （SNR） increases proportionally to the superposition times, but the results from different days are similar to one another. Synchronously, the arrival-time is also stable and there is no obvious change when coming across typhoons. It is found the velocity of the surface wave is 2.9 - 3.1 km/s in Fujian Province, which is close to the observationally attained value.     

On the behavior of the cured electroosmotic chemical treated clay

Followed the proposed ECT procedure that was the injection of 0.75 M CaCl₂ solution for 72 h, then 1.5 M KOH solution for 48 h, then sodium silicate solution for 72 h and then deionized water for 168 h, the clay strength can be improved from anode to cathode entirely. To further improve the clay strength, curing the sample for different periods and applying electric field over the sample were studied. The cone resistance, water content, pH value, Ca²⁺ concentration and the XRD pattern were tested or analyzed in each test. Results show that injection of deionized water was a key phase to produce a full improvement of the treated clay, which cannot be replaced by the application of an electric field only and without injecting water. Curing the treated clay after injecting deionized water can yield a higher clay strength in the cathode area significantly due to pozzolanic reaction but produce a lower clay strength in the anode area because the formed NaOH decomposed the gel structure of the sodium silicate solution. To obtain a better strength after injection of deionized water for 168 h, the treated clay had to be cured for about 28 days, along with a dry anode compartment.

Simulating typhoon waves by SWAN wave model in coastal waters of Taiwan

The SWAN wave model is typically designed for wave simulations in the near-shore region and thus is selected for evaluating its applicability on typhoon waves in the coastal waters around Taiwan Island. Numerical calculations on processes of wave heights and periods during the passages of four representative typhoons are compared with measured data from field wave stations on both east and west coasts. The results have shown that waves due to typhoons of paths 2, 3 and 4 can be reasonably simulated on east coastal waters. However, discrepancies increase for the simulated results on west coastal waters because the island's central mountains partly damage the cyclonic structures of the passing-over typhoons. It is also found that the included nested grid scheme in SWAN could improve the accuracy of simulations in coastal waters to facilitate further engineering practices.     

Robust estimation for correlated observations: two local sensitivity-based downweighting strategies

An iterative robust estimation procedure for correlated observations is proposed, in which the a-prior correlation coefficient matrix is not updated to alleviate the computational burden. Selection of the downweighting strategy plays a key role in the proposed method. Two local sensitivity-based strategies, one is based on the uniformly most powerful test statistics, the other is based on the standardized least squares residuals, are developed and analyzed. Monte Carlo simulations in the GPS network adjustment scenario demonstrate that, the two strategies can provide a certain resistance against the deteriorating effect of outlying observations on the parameter estimates; the former downweighting strategy is superior to the latter one, both in terms of robustness and computational efficiency.

A three-point method for estimating wave reflection of obliquely incident waves over a sloping bottom

A three-point method for estimating wave reflection is proposed to account for monochromatic oblique incident waves propagating over a sloping beach. The amplitudes of reflected wave and incident wave are separated using wave amplitudes measured at three fixed wave gauges with a distance. The applicability of the theory is verified by comparing the simulated results with the available theoretical, numerical and experimental results for the estimation of wave reflection. The sensitivity is also tested to provide a more accurate prediction of the reflection coefficient.

A new smooth hysteretic model for ductile flexural‐dominated reinforced concrete bridge columns

A new smooth hysteretic model is proposed for ductile, flexural‐dominated reinforced concrete bridge columns. Four columns designed per modern seismic codes were tested using monotonically increasing and variable‐amplitude cyclic loading protocols and ground motion loading to develop the model. Based on the test results, hysteretic rules for damage accumulation and path dependence of reloading were constructed. For damage accumulation, unloading stiffness degradation is correlated with the maximum displacement and hysteretic energy dissipation, while reloading stiffness degradation is set equal to the unloading stiffness degradation. Pinching severity is related to the residual displacement in the direction opposite to the loading direction. Strength deterioration is correlated with the damage index and does not occur until the damage index reaches a threshold, after which the deterioration is proportional to the increase of the damage index. For path dependence of reloading, reloading paths are classified into primary paths and associate paths. The primary paths are those that start from a residual displacement that is equal to or larger than the previous maximum one. The associate paths are those that do not belong to primary paths and tend to be directed towards certain points. Reloading without load reversal is assumed to be linear. Comparison with the results of pseudo‐dynamic tests using three consecutive ground motions showed that the proposed model closely matched the test results. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
