Dynamic analysis of structures using modified Lanczos co‐ordinates

An efficient dynamic analysis method using the modified Lanczos co‐ordinates is presented. The proposed method is obtained by applying the modified Lanczos algorithm using Lanczos vectors that satisfy the stiffness‐orthonormality condition to the conventional Lanczos co‐ordinates method. The modified Lanczos co‐ordinates method is more efficient than the conventional method in the case of structures under multi‐input loads. The effectiveness of the modified Lanczos co‐ordinates method is verified by analysing a numerical example. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

基础隔震结构随机地震响应分析的复模态法

本文对多自由度基础隔震结构的随机地震响应问题进行了系统研究，首先建立了运动方程，然后用第一振型将上部结构展开，针对所得方程为非经典阻尼、非对称质量和非对称刚度情况，用复模态法解耦，获得了以第一振型表示的结构地震响应的解析解，对单自由度体系，此解即为结构响应的精确解，从而建立了两自由度体系在任意非经典阻尼与非对称质量和刚度情况下随机地震响应解析解分析的一般方法。本文方法也可用于带TMD减震结构、无损伤“加层减震”加固结构的随机地震响应分析与优化设计。

鞍山中太古代铁架山花岗岩中表壳岩包体的地球化学特征及地质意义

鞍山地区中太古代铁架山花岗岩中存在多种类型的表壳岩包体。本文对其中 类变泥砂质岩石进行了研究。一类包括云母石英片岩、黑云变粒岩、浅粒岩, 它们高钾低钠, 具有强的负铕异常(Eu/Eu^* = 0.10~0.23) 和负钡异常(Ba/Ba^*＝^*＝0.09～0.23),t_DM和ε_Nd(3.0 Ga)变化范围分别为3.36～3.51 Ga和-3.89～-1.59.岩石高的成熟度和长的地壳滞留时间表明鞍山地区中太古代以前陆壳基底就有了相当的规模,并具有很长的地壳演化历史.它们在元素组成上与铁架山花岗岩十分相似,相互间存在物源上的成因联系.铁架山花岗岩的t_DM和ε_Nd(3.0 Ga)变化范围分别为3.39～3.70 Ga和-4.99～-2.36,Sm、Nd同位素组成与变质泥砂质岩石存在一定差异,看来主要与前者形成过程中源区选择性部分熔融和稀土组成发生变化有关.另一类为黑云斜长片麻岩,组成上与第一类变泥砂质岩石存在较大区别,而与古太古代陈台沟花岗岩较为相似,相互间可能存在物源上的成因联系.它们对铁架山岩体部分轻、重稀土强烈分离花岗质岩石的形成可能起了一定作用.物源区的复杂性是铁架山花岗岩组成上存在较大变化的主要原因.     

Distribution and Variation of Ribonucleic Acid （RNA） and Protein and Its Hydrolysis Products in Lake Sediments

Protein and RNA in lake sediments tend to be decomposed progressively with time and sedimentation depth. Their concentrations tend to decrease starting from the sedimentation depth of 17 cm and that of 19 cm, respectively. However, the products of their decomposition —amino acids and nucleotides show different rules of variation. At the depth from 27 cm to 30 cm the amino acids are most abundant in the pore waters of lake sediments. Such variation tendency seems to be related to the extent to which microbes utilize amino acids and nucleotides. Due to polymerization in the geological processes and the adsorption of protein on minerals and organic polymers, below the sedimentation depth of 17 cm there is still a certain amount of protein in the sediments. With the time passing by, protein has been well preserved in various sediment layers, indicating that its decomposition is relatively limited. The peak values of protein content in the sediments of the two lakes are produced in the surface layers at the depth of 10 cm, implicating that the surface sediments are favorable to the release of protein. The contents of amino acids in the pore waters of lake sediments are closely related to the activities of microbes. Below the depth of 27 cm, the amino acids are significantly accumulated in Lake Aha sediments, probably indicating the weakening of microbial activities.

Geochemical evolution of highly alkaline and saline tank waste plumes during seepage through vadose zone sediments

Leakage of highly saline and alkaline radioactive waste from storage tanks into underlying sediments is a serious environmental problem at the Hanford Site in Washington State. This study focuses on geochemical evolution of tank waste plumes resulting from interactions between the waste solution and sediment. A synthetic tank waste solution was infused into unsaturated Hanford sediment columns (0.2, 0.6, and 2 m) maintained at 70°C to simulate the field contamination process. Spatially and temporally resolved geochemical profiles of the waste plume were obtained. Thorough OH⁻ neutralization (from an initial pH 14 down to 6.3) was observed. Three broad zones of pore solutions were identified to categorize the dominant geochemical reactions: the silicate dissolution zone (pH > 10), pH-neutralized zone (pH 10 to 6.5), and displaced native sediment pore water (pH 6.5 to 8). Elevated concentrations of Si, Fe, and K in plume fluids and their depleted concentrations in plume sediments reflected dissolution of primary minerals within the silicate dissolution zone. The very high Na concentrations in the waste solution resulted in rapid and complete cation exchange, reflected in high concentrations of Ca and Mg at the plume front. The plume-sediment profiles also showed deposition of hydrated solids and carbonates. Fair correspondence was obtained between these results and analyses of field borehole samples from a waste plume at the Hanford Site. Results of this study provide a well-defined framework for understanding waste plumes in the more complex field setting and for understanding geochemical factors controlling transport of contaminant species carried in waste solutions that leaked from single-shell storage tanks in the past.

Silicon isotope abundance ratios and atomic weights of NBS-28 and other reference materials

The silicon isotope abundance ratios and atomic weights of NBS-28 and several other silicon isotope reference materials were determined in this study. For the calibration of the measurement procedure, two new synthetic isotope mixtures were prepared gravimetrically from highly enriched silicon isotope materials in the form of SiO₂. All materials were converted into SiF₄ gas and subsequently their silicon isotope ratios were measured on the SiF₃⁺ species by using a gas source mass spectrometer MAT-253. The calibrated isotope abundance ratios of NBS-28 are 0.0507446 (26) for ²⁹Si/²⁸Si and 0.0341465 (15) for ³⁰Si/²⁸Si. The corresponding isotopic abundances are 92.17515(28)% for f(²⁸Si), 4.67739(24)% for f(²⁹Si) and 3.14746(14)% for f(³⁰Si). The silicon molar mass of NBS-28 is determined to be 28.08653(11), which is 0.001 larger than previously reported values. In the meanwhile, the ²⁹Si/²⁸Si and ³⁰Si/²⁸Si isotope abundance ratios and atomic weights of SRM-990, IRMM-017, IRMM-018, GBW-04421 and GBW-04422 are also calibrated. These new calibrated data can improve the reliability and comparability of silicon isotope results using above calibrators.     

Spatial damage distribution of August 16, 2003, Inner Mongolia, China, M S=5.9 earthquake and analysis

The spatial damage distribution of August 16, 2003, Inner Mongolia, China, M _S=5.9 earthquake is summarized through field investigation. The moment tensor solution and focal mechanism are inverted using the digital long-period waveform records of China Digital Seismograph Network (CDSN). The relation between the spatial damage distribution and focal mechanism is analyzed according to the focal mechanism, the aftershock distribution and the spatial damage distribution. The possible relation between the characteristics of ground motion and the tectonic background of the source region is discussed in terms of the global ground motion records, historical earthquake documents and the damage distribution. Investigation reveals that the meizoseismal region is in east-west direction, which is consistent with the nodal plane of focal mechanism inversion. The meizoseismal area is relatively large and the damage of single-story adobe houses or masonry houses is more severe. This may have relations with local seismotectonic environment.
