Simulation of masonry out‐of‐plane failure modes by multi‐body dynamics

The seismic assessment of the local failure modes in existing masonry buildings is currently based on the identification of the so‐called local mechanisms, often associated with the out‐of‐plane wall behavior, whose stability is evaluated by static force‐based approaches and, more recently, by some displacement‐based proposals. Local mechanisms consist of kinematic chains of masonry portions, often regarded as rigid bodies, with geometric nonlinearity and concentrated nonlinearity in predefined contact regions (unilateral no‐tension behavior, possible sliding with friction). In this work, the dynamic behavior of local mechanisms is simulated through multi‐body dynamics, to obtain the nonlinear response with efficient time history analyses that directly take into account the characteristics of the ground motion. The amplification/filtering effects of the structure are considered within the input motion. The proposed approach is validated with experimental results of two full‐scale shaking‐table tests on stone masonry buildings: a sacco‐stone masonry façade tested at Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil and a two‐storey double‐leaf masonry building tested at European Centre for Training and Research in Earthquake Engineering (EUCENTRE).

雪峰山西侧地区中上寒武统——层序地层学特征及层序格架

综合利用沉积学、岩石矿物学、碳同位素地球化学等分析手段,对研究区中-上寒武统层序地层学特征进行了分析。结果表明:中-上寒武统可以划归为1个二级层序和5个三级层序,在二级层序时限范围内,浅水相区经历了由局限台地潮坪→开阔台地→局限台地潮坪的沉积演化,斜坡过渡带则经历了由台地边缘→前缘缓斜坡→台地边缘的演化,研究区东南部的深水相区则由深陆棚→盆地→浅水陆棚组成。三级层序海侵体系域中沉积的颗粒白云岩、叠层石礁以及晚期高水位体系域中形成的溶孔白云岩、岩溶角砾白云岩的层位具有重要的油气勘探潜力,是值得关注和研究的领域。     

基于多元成土因素的土壤有机质空间分布分析

以陕西省蓝田县2013年667份土壤有机质样本为对象,运用GIS空间分析及遥感数字图像处理收集整理土壤类型、地形、植被等成土因子,利用多元线性回归分析集成所有成土因子对土壤养分进行空间分布预测。结果表明:通过分级统计均值定权法和像元线性拉伸法将所有成土因子统一为相对度量值,并根据成土因子与有机质含量的相关性显著程度进行因子取舍,有利于集成各类成土因子构建多元线性回归模型。预测结果定性分析表明:多元线性回归预测结果与kriging法预测结果在宏观上具有一致的空间分布趋势;但多元线性回归预测结果土壤有机质空间分布特征带有各种成土因子的变化特征,从视觉效果上,克服了传统插值法中存在的斑块状分布现象,更精细的描述了本区域内有机质空间分布趋势; MPE和RMS定量精度分析显示,在集成多元成土因素对有机质进行空间分布分析时,本文方法优于常用kriging插值法,该法可作为集成多元成土因子对土壤养分空间分布预测的有效方法。本区域内土壤有机质高值区域主要集中在地势低平、坡度缓和、湿度适中的农耕区,地势较高、坡度陡的山区有机质含量低。     

黄河流域不同时间尺度干旱对ENSO事件的响应

利用黄河流域1963-2012年逐月气温和降水量数据,计算了各气象站点不同时间尺度的标准化降水蒸散指数(SPEI),通过对不同时间尺度SPEI与Niño 3.4区海洋表面温度距平(SSTA)的时空相关性进行分析,揭示不同时间尺度干旱对ENSO事件的响应及ENSO事件对黄河流域不同区域降水量和气温的影响。结果表明:(1)黄河流域1、3、6个月时间尺度的干旱在各时间段均有发生,12、24个月时间尺度的干旱主要发生在20世纪末和21世纪初的近20年。黄河上游和中游地区不同时间尺度的SPEI与SSTA均呈负相关关系,下游地区呈正相关关系。(2)黄河流域不同时间尺度的SPEI与SSTA相关性在空间分布上具有显著的差异性。久治站以上的黄河上游地区、中游地区的宁夏、内蒙古、陕西和山西的北部以及下游地区均呈正相关关系,其余地区呈负相关关系。全流域1、3、6、12个月和24个月时间尺度的相关性系数通过0.05显著性检验的站点占总站点数分别为14%、43%、61%、75%和44%。(3)ENSO事件强度与降水量在黄河上游地区的相关性较弱,在中游和下游地区呈显著的负相关性,强度增大时降水量下降,减弱时降水量上升。全流域ENSO事件强度与气温呈显著的正相关性,强度增大时温度有上升趋势。其中El Niño对气温有抬高的趋势,La Niña对气温有降低的趋势。

Distribution and source apportionment of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from atmospheric particulate matter PM<Subscript>2.5</Subscript> in Beijing

A total of 11 PM2.5 samples were collected from October 2003 to October 2004 at 8 sampling sites in Beijing city. The PM2.5 concentrations are all above the PM2.5 pollution standard （65 μg m^-3） established by Environmental Protection Agency, USA （USEPA） in 1997 except for the Ming Tombs site. PM2.5 concentrations in winter are much higher than in summer. The 16 Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons （PAHs） listed as priority pollutants by USEPA in PM2.5 were completely identified and quantified by high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） with variable wavelength detector （VWD） and fluorescence detector （FLD） employed. The PM2.5 concentrations indicate that the pollution situation is still serious in Beijing. The sum of 16 PAHs concentrations ranged from 22.17 to 5366 ng m^-3. The concentrations of the heavier molecular weight PAHs have a different pollution trend from the lower PAHs. Seasonal variations were mainly attributed to the difference in coal combustion emission and meteorological conditions. The source apportionment analysis suggests that PAHs from PM2.5 in Beijing city mainly come from coal combustion and vehicle exhaust emission. New measures about restricting coal combustion and vehicle exhaust must be established as soon as possible to improve the air pollution situation in Beijing city.

A comprehensive understanding and scientific evaluation of natural disasters risk is not only the basis of disaster prevention and mitigation, but also the urgent needs of the economic and social sustainable development. Disaster risk evaluation index system in accordance with Chinese reality was constructed, which contains 5 second-class indicators and 28 third-class indicators; moreover, the universal risk evaluation model was designed combined with nonlinear damage evaluation method; then, the disaster risk of China’s 31 provinces was evaluated, as well as the urban risk ranking and risk map of 31 provinces were presented. The evaluation results can make us see the urban risk situation clearly and intuitively, which helps the related department to clearly focus on their work, as well as provides theoretical guidance for the national and local disaster prevention and mitigation planning.     

利用背景噪声研究紫坪铺水库水位加卸载对库区地下介质波速的影响

基于2005年1月1日~2008年1月1日紫坪铺台网及YZP台连续波形资料,利用噪声互相关技术研究了紫坪铺水库区域在蓄水、泄水过程中库区介质的变化特征,同时对可能的渗透过程进行了讨论。使用移动窗口互谱方法计算了库区台站对之间的相对波速变化。结果表明,在紫坪铺水库的3次大规模蓄水及2次泄水过程中,地下介质相对波速变化与水位变化之间存在较为明显的相关性,且在时间上有一定延迟,其可能与水的渗透有关。分析认为蓄水对浅层介质产生的作用最快,影响最大,波速的变化是蓄水产生的压力及渗透共同作用的结果。在第1次蓄水时,压力起主要作用,后2次蓄水时,渗透起主要作用,且渗透作用已影响至深达8km左右的断层。
