汶川8.0级地震几座近断层桥梁失效模式的探讨

汶川8.0级地震主要有以下几个特点:震级大、震源浅、强震动持续时间长、波及范围面广、破坏惨重、次生灾害剧烈.沿发震断层附近的一些大型桥梁,如庙子坪大桥、百花大桥、小渔洞大桥、石蓑衣大桥等破坏尤其严重.     

汶川8.0级地震中几座近断层桥梁失效模式的初步探讨

“5．12”汶川地震造成了多座大型桥梁严重破坏甚至完全垮塌。本文以庙子坪特大桥、百花大桥、小渔洞大桥、石蓑衣大桥、回澜立交桥为例,介绍了结构形式不同的这几座桥梁的破坏模式,初步分析了震害机理。地震动强度过大、强震持续时间过长、近断层特性以及地质灾害等是造成这些桥梁破坏的客观原因;桥梁结构的某些初始缺陷和特殊结构形式导致的受力复杂性是造成地震破坏的主观因素。针对震害特点和破坏机理,本文还探讨了强震区防御桥梁地震破坏应关注的问题。     

Analysis of earthquake ground motions using an improved Hilbert–Huang transform

Some limitations of the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) for nonlinear and nonstationary signal processing are remarked. As an enhancement to the HHT, a time varying vector autoregressive moving average (VARMA) model based method is proposed to calculate the instantaneous frequencies of the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) obtained from the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) of a signal. By representing the IMFs as time varying VARMA model and using the Kalman filter to estimate the time varying model parameters, the instantaneous frequencies are calculated according to the time varying parameters, then the instantaneous frequencies and the envelopes derived from the cubic spline interpolation of the maxima of IMFs are used to yield the Hilbert spectrum. The analysis of the length of day dataset and the ground motion record El Centro (1940, N–S) shows that the proposed method offers advantages in frequency resolution, and produces more physically meaningful and readable Hilbert spectrum than the original HHT method, short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and wavelet transform (WT). The analysis of the seismic response of a building during the 1994 Northridge earthquake shows that the proposed method is a powerful tool for structural damage detection, which is expected as the promising area for future research.     

相控震源定向地震波信号分析

应用可控震源地震勘探,当环境噪声很强,采用组合震源工作仍不能满足信噪比要求时,引入能形成定向地震波的相控震源.由相控震源定向照明地震理论分析,主波束方向上3单元相控震源产生的反射地震波信号信噪比比单震源高6.53~9.54 dB,比组合震源高1.76~4.77dB.为研究相控地震实际效果,在同一测区进行了三种震源地震对比实验.由单炮地震记录和水平叠加时间剖面可知,相控震源反射波信号信噪比明显高于单震源情况,略高于组合震源情况.进一步对反射波信号功率谱特性做定量分析,得到如下结果：与单震源情况相比,相控震源使各道反射波信号信噪比提高了0.75~8.15 dB,平均提高3.65 dB;与组合震源情况相比,各道信噪比提高了0.93~3.17 dB,平均提高2.02 dB,实验结果与理论分析吻合.综上所述可知,基于相控震源的定向照明地震技术是可行的,可以有效提高地震信号的信噪比.     

俯瞰世界地震活动性

以“整体观”视野探讨了2001年1月至2007年10月世界地震活动的频度涨落带来的震兆信息与强震活动之间有无“时序对应”或场源结合的“对称填补”现象。精细地类比探讨后,发现采用过去的方法难以实现预期的目标。究其根源可能在于以往讨论的“整体观”范畴要小于全球性范畴,而属区域性的概念使然。

宽频带超导重力仪的研制进展

本文报道一种构建宽频带高分辨率超导重力仪（SG）的方法.与已商业化的GWR超导重力仪类似,新型超导重力仪同样使用磁悬浮超导检验质量来构建弹簧振子结构,不同的是弹簧振子的固有频率更高,可以有效覆盖地脉动频带.同时,利用基于超导量子干涉器件（SQUID）的位移传感技术,大幅提高了位移传感灵敏度,以保证仪器在测量带宽扩展之后仍具有与GWR仪器相当的测量分辨率,从而实现对时变重力信号与地球背景噪声信号的同时高分辨观测.宽频带超导重力仪核心部件垂向超导加速度计（VSA）的设计、组装和初步测试已经完成.结果表明,加速度计的噪声本底为8 μGal/Hz^1/2@0.1 Hz,实现了对地脉动信号的高分辨率测量.而为了将仪器噪声本底降低到GWR仪器水平,加速度计的固有频率需要进一步减小,该部分参数优化工作正在进行.本文将对垂向超导加速度计的工作原理、结构和测试结果进行详细介绍.

Multiple evidences indicate no relationship between prehistoric disasters in Lajia site and outburst flood in upper Yellow River valley,China

All around the world, ancient legends exist about the Great Flood, and the influence of the Great Flood in human evolutionary history is a hotly debated topic. In China, the legend of the prehistoric Great Flood and Yu the Great’s flood control has a long history and is considered to be closely linked to the establishment of the Xia Dynasty. However, there is a lack of solid scientific evidence. Against this issue, some scholars have proposed that an earthquake around 1920 BCE in the Guanting Basin along the upper reaches of the Yellow River led to the creation of a lake by damming in the Jishi Gorge and that the outburst of water from that lake led to the massive flood in the Yellow River region. These studies provided new scientific evidence for the Chinese legend. In this paper, we date skeletal samples embedded in earthquake sand blasting from the Lajia site, analyze remains from natural disasters (such as earthquakes and floods) and also archaeological remains. In addition, we compared the skeletal samples dating with that of sediments from the dammed-up lake. Our results are inconsistent with those of previous scholars. The earthquake at the Lajia site occurred no earlier than 1800 BCE, and the dammed-up lake in Jishi Gorge had disappeared by 3600 BCE. Thus, the formation and outburst of the dammed lake, the sudden death of ancient humans at the Lajia site and the ancient earthquake were independent events occurring at different times. In addition, the massive flood in the upper reaches of the Yellow River did not actually happen. Thus, we argue against and invalidate the hypothesis that the massive flood was related to Yu the Great’s flood control and the establishment of the Xia Dynasty.
