Model updating for real time dynamic substructures based on UKF algorithm

Combining the advantages of numerical simulation with experimental testing, real-time dynamic substructure (RTDS) testing provides a new experimental method for the investigation of engineered structures. However, not all unmodeled parts can be physically tested, as testing is often limited by the capacity of the test facility. Model updating is a good option to improve the modeling accuracy for numerical substructures in RTDS. In this study, a model updating method is introduced, which has great performance in describing this nonlinearity. In order to determine the optimal parameters in this model, an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF)-based algorithm was applied to extract the knowledge contained in the sensors data. All the parameters that need to be identified are listed as the extended state variables, and the identification was achieved via the step-by-step state prediction and state update process. Effectiveness of the proposed method was verified through a group of experimental data, and results showed good agreement. Furthermore, the proposed method was compared with the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF)-based method, and better accuracy was easily found. The proposed parameter identification method has great applicability for structural objects with nonlinear behaviors and could be extended to research in other engineering fields.     

基于经验参考场地的广义线性反演方法

为了克服广义线性反演方法（GIT）中理想的参考场地难以找到的局限性,本文将四分之一波长法计算的平均场地放大系数和谱衰减法计算的高频衰减参数作为GIT方法的经验参考场地（ERS）。以2008年5月至8月间28个强震动台站记录的95个汶川8.0级地震余震的615组强震动记录为例,通过与其他方法的比较,验证了ERS-GIT的合理性,并讨论了各类方法之间差异的原因。结果显示,ERS-GIT方法、传统GIT方法和非参数化GIT方法计算得到的平均应力降依次为1.15 MPa,0.78 MPa和0.52 MPa;ERS-GIT方法和传统GIT方法得到的品质因子分别为Q（f）=75.02f^1.27和Q（f）=65.56f^1.22。以场地的卓越频率为分界,ERS-GIT方法得到的局部场地响应在长周期和高频部分分别与H/V谱比法和传统GIT方法更为接近。

Design of transverse reinforcement to avoid premature buckling of main bars

This paper proposes an enhancement to the current strength and confinement‐based design of transverse reinforcement in rectangular and circular reinforced concrete members to ensure that the flexural strength of reinforced concrete sections does not degrade excessively due to buckling of longitudinal bars until the desired level of plastic deformation is achieved. Antibuckling design criteria are developed based on a popular bar buckling model that uses a bar buckling parameter (combining the bar diameter, yield strength, and buckling length) to solely describe the bar buckling behavior. The value of buckling parameter that limits the buckling‐induced stress loss to 15% in compression bars at the strain corresponding to the design ductility is determined. For a bar of known diameter and yield strength, the maximum allowable buckling length can then be determined, which serves as the maximum limit for the tie/stirrup/hoop spacing. Lateral stiffness required to restrain the buckling tendency of main bars at the locations of the ties/stirrups/hoops depends on the flexural rigidity of the main bars and the buckling length (equal to or multiple of tie/hoop/stirrup spacing), whereas the antibuckling stiffness (ie, resistance) provided by the ties/stirrups/hoops depends on their size, number, and arrangement. Using the above concept, design recommendations for the amount, arrangement, and spacing of rectangular and circular ties/stirrups/hoops are then established to ensure that the antibuckling stiffness of the provided transverse reinforcement is greater than the stiffness required to restrain the buckling‐prone main bars. Key aspects of the developed method are verified using experimental tests from literature.

利用跨断层资料研究首都圈地区断层活动特征及地震危险性

本文针对首都圈的跨断层形变资料（1984-2016年）,利用11个场地的基线和水准观测资料,计算了断层三维活动量,以此来分析首都圈断层现今的活动特征。同时计算了断层形变协调比序列,分析其与首都圈中强地震的关系。结果表明:首都圈的断层活动有明显的区域特征,受张家口-渤海断裂带影响的西北地区的断层以左旋张性活动为主,而中部和东部断层表现为右旋压性特征。断层协调比结果显示在首都圈及其邻区出现中强地震前后,协调比会出现发散现象,这种现象可以作为今后首都圈及邻近地区中强地震危险性分析的一种依据。     

The geological characteristics of the large-and medium-sized gas fields in the South China Sea

By the end of 2019, more than 220 gas fields had been discovered in the South China Sea. In order to accurately determine the geological characteristics of the large-and medium-sized gas fields in the South China Sea, this study conducted a comprehensive examination of the gas fields. Based on the abundant available geologic and geochemical data, the distribution and key controlling factors of the hydrocarbon accumulation in the South China Sea were analyzed. The geological and geochemical features of the gas fields were as follows:(1) the gas fields were distributed similar to beads in the shape of a "C" along the northern, western, and southern continental margins;(2) the natural gas in the region was determined to be composed of higher amounts of alkane gas and less CO_2;(3) the majority of the alkane gas was observed to be coal-type gas;(4) the gas reservoir types included structural reservoirs, lithologic reservoirs, and stratigraphic reservoirs, respectively;(5) the reservoir ages were mainly Oligocene, Miocene, and Pliocene, while the lithology was mainly organic reef, with some sandstone deposits; and(6) the main hydrocarbon accumulation period for the region was determined to be the late Pliocene-Quaternary Period. In addition, the main controlling factors of the gas reservoirs were confirmed to have been the development of coal measures, sufficient thermal evolution, and favorable migration and accumulation conditions.
