An approximate method for evaluating the shear band thickness in saturated soils

A formula for the thickness of a shear band formed in saturated soils under a simple shear or a combined stress state has been proposed. It is shown that the shear band thickness is dependent on the pore pressure properties of the material and the dilatancy rate, but is independent of the details of the combined stress state. This is in accordance with some separate experimental observations. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Possible chemical structures and biological precursors of different vitrinites in coal measure in Northwest China

Chemical structure of Jurassic vitrinites isolated from the coals in basins in NW China have been checked using solid state ¹³C NMR and flash pyrolysis-GC/MS. Study shows some Jurassic collodetrinites are rich in aliphatic products in pyrolysates, consisting with the high amount of methylene carbon in ¹³C NMR spectra. In contrast, pyrolysates of Jurassic collotelinites are rich in phenols and alkylbenzenes. Also one Pennsylvanian and one Permian vitrinite selected from the Ordos basin, NW China have been checked for comparison. The proportion of aliphatics is low in pyrolysates, and aliphatic carbon peak in ¹³C NMR spectrum of Permian vitrinite is mostly composed of gas-prone carbons compared with collodetrinites in those Jurassic basins. But both pyrolysis and ¹³C NMR data shows the Pennsylvanian vitrinite is not only gas-prone but also oil-prone. Relatively high proportion of long chain aliphatic structure of some Jurassic vitrinite in Junggar, Turpan-Hami basins may be due to the contribution of liptodetrinites, which may be included during the formation of vitrinites. And it seems that suberinite is the most possible precursor of long chain aliphatics in the structure of Jurassic collodetrinite.

Mechanism for the rapid motion of the Qianjiangping landslide during reactivation by the first impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam reservoir, China

The first impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam reservoir in China started from a water surface elevation of 95 m on June 1, 2003 and reached 135 m on June 15, 2003. Shortly after the water level reached 135 m, many slopes began to deform and some landslides occurred. The Qianjiangping landslide is the largest one; it occurred on the early morning of July 14, 2003 and caused great loss of lives and property. Field investigation revealed that, although failure occurred after the reservoir reached 135 m, the stability of the slope was already reduced by preexisting sheared bedding planes. To study the mechanism of the rapid motion of this reactivated landslide, two soil samples were taken from a yellow clay layer and a black silt layer in the sliding zone, respectively, and a series of ring shear tests were conducted on the samples. One series of ring shear tests simulates the creep deformation behavior, while the other series simulates different shear rates. Conclusions drawn from analysis of the ring shear tests indicate that the mechanism of the rapid motion of the reactivated landslide was caused by the rate effect of the black silt layer during the motion phase after the creep failure. The yellow clay layer did not play any important role in the rapid motion in the 2003 event.     

杨溪岩体中黑云母的特征及其地质意义

杨溪岩体黑云母为１Ｍ型的铁质黑云母，其特征说明岩体为壳源改造型花岗岩，但有幔源物质混入。离铌钽矿化点较近的黑云母表现出明显富铝、多锰、贫镁、少硅、少钛的特点。离白钨矿矿区较近的黑云母与远离矿区的黑云母在特征上差别不大，说明杨溪岩体黑云母的特征变化对成矿影响不大，但岩浆活动是重要的成矿因素之一。

沙南凹陷古近系中深层砂岩储层特征与岩性油气藏勘探

渤海湾盆地沙南凹陷陡坡带古近系沙河街组二段发育辫状河三角洲相砂岩储集层,该储层受构造位置、埋藏速率、古地温变化、断裂作用的影响,在不同构造区特别是中深层,其物性具有明显的差异性。笔者等利用钻井、测井、地震及分析化验等资料,对中深层砂岩储层沉积相、成岩作用及孔隙演化特征进行研究,提出优质储层的主控因素及演化规律。结果表明,研究区中深层砂岩以岩屑长石砂岩为主,孔隙以粒间溶孔、粒内溶孔为主,储层存在中孔中渗型、中孔低渗型、低孔低渗型和低孔特低渗型4类,且以中孔低渗型为主。储层孔隙总体比较发育,储层整体表现为中等孔隙度、中等渗透率,储层物性较好。对区内优质储层发育的控制因素进行研究表明,富含石英、长石的物源区母岩是区内优质储层发育的物质基础,三角洲分流河道沉积相是优质储层发育的主要沉积相类型,成岩晚期方解石胶结物经过强溶蚀作用是优质储层发育的关键因素。对中深层优质储层时空演化规律分析表明,沙南凹陷南次洼曹妃甸14- e构造区发育辫状河三角洲相砂体,且这些砂体都位于有效烃源岩内,油气运聚条件优越,所以岩性油气藏勘潜力较大。已钻井也证明了区内厚油层的存在,说明该区是沙南凹陷岩性油气藏勘探最有利场所。
