The Deccan flows at Mahabaleshwar are divisible into a lower and an upper group, based on Nd and Sr isotopic ratios, which define two correlated trends. This distinction is supported by incompatible element ratios and bulk compositions. The data reflect contamination in a dynamic system of magmas from an LIL-depleted,εJUV ≥ +8 mantle by two different negative εJUV endmembers, one undoubtedly continental crust, the other either continental crust or enriched mantle. The depleted mantle source, anomalously high in (87Sr/86Sr), may have been in the subcontinental lithosphere or a region of rising Indian Ocean MORB mantle. 相似文献
The present study deals with the reliability analysis of basal heave caused by excavation considering uncertainty in the soil properties. The case study considered in the present work has been analyzed deterministically by Hsieh et al. (Can Geotech J 45:788–799, 2008). Taiwan building code is adopted in the method for analyzing the basal heave failure. The random variables (undrained shear strength and total unit weight of clay) are assumed to be normally distributed and uncorrelated. A series of parametric studies have been conducted to calculate the reliability index on the basis of the matrix formulation for the second moment method by Hasofer and Lind (J Eng Mech ASCE 100(1):111–121, 1974) considering different coefficient of variation of undrained shear strength and total unit weight of clay layers. It has been found that for a particular value of coefficient of variation of total unit weight, the reliability index with respect to occurrence of basal heave failure decreases with increase in the coefficient of variation of undrained shear strength. Moreover, the reliability index also decreases when the coefficient of variation of total unit weight increases. It has also been found that the probability of basal heave failure is lower with respect to factor of safety equals to 1.2, as compared to factor of safety equals to 1.0. Sensitivity analysis shows that the undrained shear strength of the bottommost layer and total unit weight of the second layer are the most significant random variables affecting the reliability index. Guidelines are provided for reliability based design where, for ‘target’ reliability index of 2.5 and 3.0, the factor of safety can be chosen such that all the related uncertainties are taken into account, especially with regard to undrained shear strength of the bottommost layer and total unit weight of the second layer. Design guidelines have been provided for this purpose. 相似文献
The use of geosynthetics as a ground improvement technique offers the advantages such as space saving, environmental sensitivity, material availability, technical superiority, higher cost savings and less construction time. Coir geotextiles can be considered as an efficient replacement to its synthetic counterparts due to its economy and excellent engineering properties. The present study aims at exploring the possibilities of utilising coir geocells as a potential reinforcement material for shallow foundations and thereby increasing the load carrying capacity of soil. Geocells were fabricated from coir geotextiles with the aim of providing an additional confinement to the soil. An enumerated parametric study was conducted by varying the relative density, depth of the first layer, width and height of coir geocell. The surface displacement profiles of the non-reinforced and coir geocell-reinforced soil indicate that the footing rotation and heave are considerably reduced with the provision of geocell. The results of the relative density study indicate that bearing capacity characteristics increase with denseness of the soil sample. It was also observed that geocell arrangement and configuration play a pivotal role in the performance characteristics of reinforced soil. 相似文献
CO2-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is an upcoming technology in India. At present, no Indian field is under CO2-EOR and implementation of this technique to a mature oil field needs a rigorous study. In the present work, we made an attempt to investigate the CO2-EOR potential of a mature oil field, situated in Cambay Basin, India. The field was put on production in 1961, and it has produced approximately 65.36 MMt oil during massive water flooding, leading to residual oil reserves of 6.49 MMt. The operator of the field is interested in incremental oil recovery from this field by injecting CO2. This requires estimation of incremental oil recovery potential of the field by carrying out systematic study. We, therefore, developed a conceptual model inspired by Ankleshwar oil field of Cambay Basin using available information provided by the field operator and carried out systematic studies to establish an optimized strategy for CO2 injection. To achieve this goal, we investigated the effect of various operational parameters on oil recovery efficiency of our conceptual model and selected optimum parameters for reservoir simulations. Simulation results clearly indicate that the field can be a good candidate for CO2-EOR, and an additional oil recovery of 10.4% of hydrocarbon pore volume is feasible. Major outcome of the study is an optimized black-oil simulation model, which is in good agreement with the fine grid compositional model of high accuracy. The proposed black-oil model can easily be implemented and updated compared with compute intensive finer compositional simulation model. 相似文献
The radio frequency emission at 10.7 cm (or 2800 MHz) wavelength (considered as solar flux density) out of different possible wavelengths is usually selected to identify periodicities because of its high correlation with solar extreme ultraviolet radiation as well as its complete and long observational record other than sunspot related indices. The solar radio flux at 10.7 cm wavelength plays a very valuable role for forecasting the space weather because it is originated from lower corona and chromospheres region of the Sun. Also, solar radio flux is a magnificent indicator of major solar activity. Here in the present work the solar radio flux data from 1965 to 2014 observed at the Domimion Radio Astrophysical Observatory in Penticton, British Columbiahas been processed using Date Compensated Discrete Fourier Transform (DCDFT) to identify predominant periods within the data along with their confidence levels. Also, the multi-taper method (MTM) for periodicity analysis is used to validate the observed periods. Present investigation exhibits multiperiodicity of the time series F10.7 solar radio flux data around 27, 57, 78, 127, 157, 4096 days etc. The observed periods are also compared with the periods of MgII Index data using same algorithm as MgII Index data has 99.9% correlation with F10.7 Solar Radio Flux data. It can be observed that the MgII index data exhibits similar periodicities with very high confidence levels.Present investigation also clearly indicates that the computed results are very much confining with the results obtained in different communication for the similar data of 10.7 cm Solar Radio Flux as well as for the other solar activities.
Water is the most important natural resource which forms the core of the ecological system. The advent of remote sensing has
opened up new vistas in groundwater prospect evaluation, exploration and management. The role of hydrogeomorphological units
in tile storage of groundwater from the Kancheepuram distict has been investigated using IRS P6 LISS-III data. The Kancheepuram
district exhibits diverse hydrogeomorphological conditions where the groundwater regime is controlled mainly by topography
and geology. The extent of various water prospectus zones in terms of percentage includes, maximum area, particularly the
north-western, and central part which is characterized by good potential occupying about 43% of total area. The moderate potential
is marked by only 35%, and is scattered along the northern and southern side of the study area, the remaining 12% is of poor
prospectus, which is falling in the coastal region of the study area. 相似文献
Mercury was determined in thirty‐three international stream sediment and soil reference samples (eleven Chinese soils, GSS‐1 to GSS‐11; twelve Chinese stream sediments, GSD‐1A to GSD‐12; four Canadian stream sediments STSD‐1 to STSD‐4; South African stream sediments, SARM‐42, SARM‐46 and SARM‐47; Japanese stream sediments, JSd‐1 to JSd‐3) by direct mercury analyser. Samples were taken in 500 μl quartz boats, placed in an auto sampler and processed (drying time 60 s at 300 °C; decomposition time 120 s at 850 °C; waiting time 45 s). The instrument was calibrated in the low (0‐50 ng) and high ranges (50‐500 ng) with two reference materials GSS‐5 and GXR‐2 (USGS). Using the calibration line, reference samples were analysed for Hg. The results of the determinations agreed with the recommended values of RMs in all cases except JSd‐1. The RSD calculated for the RMs was found to be within 20%. The detection limit was 1 ng g?1. 相似文献
Interannual variations of the monsoon onset over Kerala (MOK) have been studied using data from over 60?years (1948?C2009) of NCEP/NCAR reanalysis and outgoing long-wave radiation. The sea surface temperature fields over the North Indian Ocean associated with the MOK have been examined in association with El Nino and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events which originate in the Pacific and Indian Ocean, respectively. An analysis of the tropical convective maximum showed significant differences in its strength and location during the El Nino, IOD, early, normal, and delayed MOK composites. Further, we also looked into the role of the convective systems formed over the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal on MOK. The most significant features during early (delayed) MOK years is the abnormal persistence of westerlies (easterlies) several days prior to MOK and enhanced (suppressed) deep convection over the southeastern Arabian Sea and the southern Bay of Bengal. Moisture builds up over peninsular India several pentads prior to MOK during La Nina, negative IOD, and concurrent La Nina and negative IOD years as compared to the El Nino, positive IOD, and concurrent El Nino and positive IOD years, indicating its significant role on MOK. The monsoon Hadley cell and Walker circulations are weaker (stronger) during a delayed (early) MOK. Further, the sea surface temperature anomalies in the western Pacific are negative (positive) during delayed (early) MOK. 相似文献
