Financing rapid community reconstruction after catastrophic disaster: lessons from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China

Catastrophic disasters can change the course of urban development and challenge the long-run sustainability of cities and regions. How to rapidly reconstruct communities impaired by catastrophic disaster is a world-wide challenge. The reconstruction after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China was an unusual case of very rapid reconstruction after a catastrophic disaster. Over US$147 billion was invested to rebuild the damaged areas within 3 years. The reconstruction was not simply building back what was destroyed, but was used as an opportunity to advance national goals for urbanization, rural transformation, and poverty reduction. In this article, we review how the reconstruction was planned, budgeted, and financed in the sociopolitical context of 2008 China. Particularly, we discuss two innovative programs, namely pair assistance and land-based financing. Despite the unique circumstances of China, lessons can be learned to speed up post-disaster reconstruction and urban development in other countries. Conversely, this case illustrates that a narrow focus on physical reconstruction may overlook broader economic and social issues.

     

云南金平铜厂Cu-Mo矿床矽卡岩地球化学特征及成因

云南金平铜厂Cu-Mo矿床位于滨太平洋与特提斯构造域结合部位哀牢山构造成矿带南端,该矿床主要由矽卡岩Cu-Mo矿体组成,其中Cu储量0.862×104 t（品位1.24%）,Mo储量1.706×104 t（品位0.21%）。为查明矿区内与成矿关系密切的矽卡岩成因及其与围岩的关系,分析其不同元素的性质及分布规律,揭示矽卡岩矿床成岩、成矿地质过程,本文通过采集铜厂Cu-Mo矿区矽卡岩及矽卡岩化正长斑岩和大理岩样品进行主微量、稀土元素地球化学分析,研究其特征。研究表明：Si、Fe、Ca、Ti、Al、Mg、Mn等主量元素在矽卡岩、正长斑岩之间曾发生明显置换交代地质作用;三种岩性都具有富集LREE元素,亏损HREE元素,发育较弱Eu负异常,Ce异常不明显,REE配分模式相似的稀土元素特征,说明矽卡岩、正长斑岩和大理岩有一定的成因联系。结合三者REE配分模式、Eu弱负异常及Ce异常不明显等地球化学特征,推测矿区矽卡岩形成于低温弱氧化环境,由来自深部热液流体与围岩接触交代形成,成岩流体主要来源于深部岩浆。     

近直立煤储层裂隙系统及优势渗流通道特征研究

为系统研究近直立煤储层裂隙系统发育特征,利用新疆库拜煤田中部近直立煤储层地表出露良好和生产矿井煤储层裂隙便于观测的有利条件,采用地表高精度构造裂隙填图和矿井煤储层裂隙观测技术,结合实验室扫描电镜和偏光显微镜观测方法,研究了近直立煤储层宏观和微观裂隙系统的发育特征。研究发现该区层面裂隙和外生裂隙延伸长、宽度大,是煤层气运移的优势渗流通道。同时分析了不同埋深条件下地应力场状态,阐明了研究区3种优势渗流通道分布特征为:(1)670 m以浅,优势渗流方向为NNW、NNE向;(2)670 m左右,优势渗流方向为近EW、NNW和NNE向;(3)670 m以深,优势渗流方向为近EW向。解释了层面裂隙、外生裂隙、内生裂隙和微裂隙的形成原因,揭示了渗流通道的形成模式,为研究区煤层气的勘探开发提供了地质依据。

载体桩在陕南粉质黏土地区的适用性研究

以陕南粉质黏土地区某住宅楼施工现场为试验场地,开展了灌注桩和载体桩复合地基的现场静载试验,结合经验法理论计算,从承载力和建设成本两个方面,对比分析了两种地基基础方案的优劣。结果显示:灌注桩和载体桩复合地基荷载-沉降曲线均为缓变型,两种方案均能提供较高的抗压承载力;当载体桩桩长超过10 m,且作为复合地基增强体时,经验法计算过程未考虑桩端阻力的扩大头效益,计算结果明显低于现场试验结果;在相同桩身用料投入条件下,载体桩复合地基较灌注桩能够提供更高承载力。在陕南的类似粉质黏土地区,建议优先考虑选用载体桩复合地基方案。     

Age and metal source of orogenic gold deposits in Southeast Guizhou Province,China: Constraints from Re-Os and He-Ar isotopic evidence

The orogenic gold deposits in Southeast Guizhou are an important component of the Xuefeng polymetallic ore belt and have significant exploration potential, but geochronology research on these gold deposits is scarce. Therefore, the ore genetic models are poorly constrained and remain unclear. In the present study, two important deposits(Pingqiu and Jinjing) are investigated, including combined Re-Os dating and the He-Ar isotope study of auriferous arsenopyrites. It is found that the arsenopyrites from the Pingqiu gold deposit yielded an isochron age of 400 ± 24 Ma,with an initial ~(187)Os/~(188)Os ratio of 1.24 ± 0.57(MSWD = 0.96). An identical isochron age of 400 ± 11 Ma with an initial ~(187)Os/~(188)Os ratio of 1.55 ± 0.14(MSWD = 0.34) was obtained from the Jinjing deposit. These ages correspond to the regional Caledonian orogeny and are interpreted to represent the age of the main stage ore. Both initial ~(187)Os ratios suggest that the Os was derived from crustal rocks. Combined with previous rare earth element(REE), trace elements, Nd-Sr-S-Pb isotope studies on scheelite, inclusion fluids with other residues of gangue quartz, and sulfides from other gold deposits in the region, it is suggested that the ore metals from Pingqiu and Jinjing were sourced from the Xiajiang Group. The He and Ar isotopes of arsenopyrites are characterized by ~3 He/~4 He ratios ranging from 5.3 × 10~(-4) Ra to 2.5 × 10~(-2) Ra(Ra = 1.4 × 10~(-6), the ~3 He/~4 He ratio of air), 40 Ar=/~4 He ratios from 0.64 × 10~(-2) to 15.39×10~(-2), and ~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar ratios from 633.2 to 6582.0. Those noble gas isotopic compositions of fluid inclusions also support a crustal source origin,evidenced by the Os isotope. Meanwhile, recent noble gas studies suggest that the amount of in situ radiogenic ~4 He generated should not be ignored, even when Th and U are present at levels of only a few ppm in host minerals.

Household recovery strategies in Longmen Mountain area,Sichuan, China,following the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake disaster

After the Wenchuan earthquake, the overall post-reconstruction of the affected area was completed in 2 years with significant achievements in a top-down fashion. However, the secondary large-scale mass movements and floods that followed the earthquake have shattered mountain settlements and resulted in serious loss of life and property over the last ten years. Local people have taken their own initiative for house reconstruction and recovery. Having taken the tremendous government-driven reconstruction into consideration, the current study aims to understand the contribution of bottom-up approach in whole reconstruction process in Jianjiang River, Longmen Mountain Town of Sichuan, China. This study reveals that in the process of individual rebuilding, local households have tried to construct houses by using more contemporary structures and local resources to rebuild smaller buildings. Such reconstruction activities have changed their lifestyle and source of income to cope with future disasters and adapt with the post-disaster recovery process. Rural households shifted their income sources from tourism to labour migration while revitalizing farming for food and additional income. More than half of residents have no worry about the risk of disasters in reconstruction areas. The bottom-up adaptation can be more sustainable in Longmen Mountain area and provide a reference for other rural areas under recovery after disasters.

     

陕西省洛南地区二叠系石盒子组砂岩特征及物源区探讨

为了认识陕西省洛南地区二叠系石盒子组砂岩特征及其物源,给探索渭河盆地前新生代基底组成提供依据,本文综合分析了洛南二叠系石盒子组砂岩组分和重矿物特征。结果表明,砂岩物源区主要为再旋回造山带和克拉通地块,物源区与北秦岭造山带的演化关系密切,南秦岭构造带北部下古生界也为石盒子组提供部分物源,中二叠世晚期华北、秦岭板块面接触碰撞,北秦岭构造带快速隆升,南秦岭物源区提供物源减少,砂岩物源主要为中酸性岩浆岩+低级变质岩+沉积岩。二叠纪鄂尔多斯盆地南缘向南延至洛南—栾川断裂附近,洛南地区二叠系石盒子组河流沼泽相含煤岩系沉积应该属于鄂尔多斯盆地南缘沉积,结合渭北—渭河—洛南地区晚古生代地层对比成果,认为渭河地区二叠纪至少曾沉积过二叠系石盒子组地层,渭河新生代盆地基底具有残存二叠系的可能。     

陕西地洞河高分辨率石笋记录的DO18季风增强事件

千年尺度事件的结构特征和区域响应是理解和认识冰期气候变化及动力机制的关键。本文基于陕西汉中宁强县地洞河一支长417 mm石笋DDH1的11个U-Th年代和417个氧同位素（δ¹⁸O）数据,重建了末次冰期（64.8~33.2 ka B.P.）亚洲季风演化历史。石笋δ¹⁸O记录在64.7±0.2 ka B.P.和59.3±0.1 ka B.P.快速负偏,分别指示了DO18事件的开始和H6事件的结束。在DO18事件结束过程,石笋δ¹⁸O记录在64.0~60.4 ka B.P.持续正偏,振幅达2.9 ‰,反应季风逐渐减弱,但未出现明显转型阶段。其总体形态与大西洋Cariaco盆地岩芯反射率、南极冰芯的记录较为一致,但是不同于格陵兰冰芯的记录。因地洞河所处青藏高原、秦岭叠加影响的区域,纬度和地形的双重影响使得其石笋δ¹⁸O记录较其他地区偏负,振荡幅度更大。因地形阻挡了高纬信号,使得低纬甚至南半球的信号突现出来,ITCZ的移动、南半球温度和水汽潜热的释放作用在这一区域尤为显著。
