Rheological behavior of dredged slurries at high water contents

Each year in the world, there is significant amount of dredged slurries generated during geotechnical jobs. In the slurry storage process, the rheological behavior is a key factor affecting the motion of dredged slurries. To gain better understanding on this behavior, experiments on dredged slurries with different liquid limits are conducted using rotary viscometer. It has been found that, as water content increases, slurry property can change from Bingham plastic fluids to Newtonian fluids. In log–log coordinates, their corresponding yield stress and plastic viscosity are in linear relationship with their water contents and the intersection of these two lines can be treated as the turning point which is 4.7 times the liquid limit. The yield stress and plastic viscosity of different dredged slurries can be normalized efficiently using normalized water content. So, in this paper, a new quantitative prediction method for yield stress and plastic viscosity is proposed, which is effective for use in alkined modes of motion, is proposed.     

Tracking historical storm records from high-barrier lagoon deposits on the southeastern coast of Hainan Island,China

The relationship between storm activity and global warming remains uncertain. To better understand storm–climate relationships, coastal lagoon deposits are increasingly being investigated because they could provide high-resolution storm records long enough to cover past climate changes. However, site-specific sediment dynamics and high barriers may bias storm reconstructions. Here, we aimed to investigate these factors through the reconstruction of five distinct storm records (XCL-01, XC-03, XC-06, XC-07, XC-08) from different water depths in a lagoon with a high barrier (i.e., Xincun Lagoon of Hainan Island). Sediment cores were characterized using high-resolution grain size and XRF measurements, to identify storm events. These data were coupled with a numerical simulation to obtain bed shear stress data with high-spatial resolution to better understand storm-induced sediment transport mechanisms. 210Pb dating and Pb pollution chronostratigraphic markers indicated that the chronology of the storm deposit sequences of the cores span the period between 117 a and 348 a. The grain size and XRF results indicated numerous, highly variable and short-duration fluctuations, suggesting that storm-induced coarse-grained sediments were deposited at these core sites. The inconsistent storm events recorded in these cores suggest that these sites have different preservation potentials for storm deposits. However, the consistence between storm sediment records and historical documents for Core XCL-01 indicates that high-barrier lagoons could provide long-term storm event records with high preservation potential.     

北京周围地区地震的分布特点与地壳屈曲

地震活动的规模常具有大尺度的特点,结合全球地震分布具有相当的似对称性,我们认为,地震的成因必然蕴含着地球的整体运动.地震活动具有块体性活动的特点.块体的边界线常与经纬线相交成45°.强震发生前也有这种情况.文中给出了与经纬线相交成45°的一个条块,近年华北的强震基本上都落在这个条块的两条边线上,且这些强震的分布具有较明显的等间隔分布特点,类似于地层中的褶皱所显示的一定的波长.我们分析了有历史记载以来我国全部八级地震,发现每次八级地震前后,都有另一次八级或七级半地震在它的一定距离上发生.这个间距有两个优势分布,一个短距的为480—550公里,另一个长距的为1100公里左右(后者约为前者的一倍).引用了柱壳轴向受力屈曲作为初步探讨.从分析可知,柱壳屈曲的半波长(1/2λ≈1.72$ \\sqrt{Rh} $)主要决定于圆柱半径与柱壳厚度:以 R=6000公里、h=15公里估算,得半波长为530公里,与我国强震分布间距较为符合.故我们的初步认识是地震的分布可能受着地壳屈曲的控制.     

西太平洋夏季三类声速环境下的会聚区特性比较

利用Argo剖面数据和水声学数值模型,分析了西太平洋夏季在热带海区(I型)、亚热带南部海区(II型)和亚热带北部海区(III型)三类典型声速环境下的会聚区特性。声场计算结果表明,声速环境的区域性差异及声源深度的变化对会聚区声场特性有明显影响。当声源深度为20m时,热带海区会聚区距离较远,第一会聚区约为65km,超出亚热带海区约5km;当声源深度为200m时,亚热带北部海区会聚区距离较远,第一会聚区约为60km,亚热带南部海区、热带海区依次递减约5km。I型和III型剖面在特定的声源深度条件下出现波导型声场,当声源位于表层时热带海区产生表面波导,当声源位于次表层时亚热带北部海区产生次表层波导,对于1kHz的声波,波导深度范围内的传播损失比波导深度以外高出10~20dB。

A note on the discovery of a 2M_⊙ pulsar

It is conventionally thought that the state equation of dense matter softens and thus cannot result in high maximum mass if pulsars are quark stars and that a recently discovered 2M⊙ pulsar (PSR J1614-2230) may make pulsars unlikely to be quark stars. However, this standard point of view would be revisited and updated if quark clustering could occur in cold quark matter because of the strong coupling be- tween quarks at realistic baryon densities in compact stars. It can be argued that the state equation of...

p-y曲线对成层土体中大直径单桩的适用性研究

API规范推荐的p-y曲线是由均质土体得到的,并未考虑土层间相互作用,Georgiadis基于柔性桩提出了等效深度法修正p-y曲线,把均质土p-y曲线延伸到了成层土体中。为了研究p-y曲线和等效深度法对于大直径单桩在成层土体中的适用性,取4种典型地质条件:成层砂土、砂土-黏土-砂土、成层黏土和黏土-砂土-黏土,通过L-PILE软件计算了6 m直径单桩基础的p-y曲线、桩顶水平荷载-位移曲线、桩身位移和弯矩。并与ABAQUS建立的单桩基础三维有限元模型计算结果进行比较。结果表明等效深度法对于成层砂土影响不大;对于成层黏土影响较大;对于中间为软弱土层的成层土体,在荷载较大时影响显著,等效深度法计算结果更加接近FEM结果。在成层土体中,p-y曲线应用于大直径单桩对于砂土高估了初始刚度,低估了极限抗力;对于黏土则低估了初始刚度和极限抗力。
