Random vibration analysis of long-span structures subjected to spatially varying ground motions

On the basis of the pseudo-excitation method (PEM), a random vibration methodology is formulated for the seismic analysis of multi-supported structures subjected to spatially varying ground motions. The ground motion spatial variability consists of the wave passage, incoherence and site–response effects. Advantages of this method are that less computation effort is required and that the cross-correlations both between normal modes and between excitations are automatically included. Random seismic responses of a realistic long-span bridge due to the wave passage, incoherence and site–response effects are extensively investigated. It is shown that all these effects have significant influence on the seismic response of the structure.     

准噶尔盆地结构及其圈闭类型

准噶尔盆地是复合叠加前陆盆地 ,其原型分别形成于板块俯冲、碰撞、造山带后期复活、拗拉槽回返和板内皱陷作用有关的大地构造环境。其古生代盆地的形成与相邻的阿尔泰山和东、西准噶尔山、天山及博格达山的造山作用相关。中新生代盆地的形成和改造与其南部特提斯域板块俯冲碰撞造山引起的盆地相邻造山带的复活有关。相邻造山带时空上不均一的造山作用对盆地的影响不同 ,形成了盆地独特的结构。各坳陷均由与其形成有关的造山带前缘冲断带、陡坡带、山前凹陷、缓坡带和前隆及前缘皱陷等构成 ,前隆之间的叠加构成了盆地的大型隆起 ,皱陷叠加构成了盆地的中央坳陷。不同类型的圈闭在坳陷中有规律地分布着

四川攀枝花2008年8月31日Ms 5.6地震震源深度的确定

利用四川区域数字地震台网记录,采用滑动时窗相关法识别sPn震相,测定了四川攀枝花2008年8月31日Ms 5.6地震的震源深度.研究结果显示,震源深度为17 km,表明震源位于中上地壳.元谋-绿汁江断裂带上中强地震分布与断裂走向吻合,震源机制解以走滑为主,这些表明此断裂近乎直立.结合此次地震的震源深度,我们推测此断裂可能达到20 km深.

Impact of phased uplift of Tibetan Plateau on environmental changes since late Middle Pleistocene: Palynological records in the three terraces of Middle Shiquan River

Three fluvial terraces in Porougong River in the middle reach of Shiquan River were identified, and the palynological records were investigated to decipher the paleoenvironmental changes in the west inland of the Tibetan Plateau. Three phases of uplift in the west inland of the Tibetan Plateau are suggested to be associated with the third, second, and first fluvial terraces (T₃, T₂, and T₁) being formed at ca.126-25.1 ka B.P., 25.1-4.5 ka B.P., and 4.5-1.3 ka B.P., respectively. The differentiated uplift rate infers that the inland Tibetan Plateau shows an earlier uplift than the surroundings. Coincident with the phased uplift, three episodes of the changes in paleovegetation and paleoclimate since late Middle Pleistocene could be identified by the spore-pollen records, including the forests under the warm-wet climate featured by the assemblage of Picea + Pinus-Betula-Ulmus-Chenopodiaceae-Epheara in the third terrace, the forest-grassy vegetation under the semi-arid and semi-wet climate as shown by the Picea + Pinus-Chenopodiaceae-Epheara assemblage in the second terrace, and the grassland under the cold-dry climate indicated by the Chenopodiaceae-Artemisia-Ephedra assemblage in the first terrace. The association of the paleovegetation and paleoclimate changes with the phased uplift of the fluvial terraces has revealed the important impact of the Plateau uplift.     

陆相渐新统划分中的问题及新进展

近年来国际上关于始新世－渐新世界线的研究取得了重大进展，其同位素年龄被确认为３４Ｍａ，北美哺乳动物年代表已据此重新厘定。通过对哺乳动物群的分析和对比，论证了我国原认为是早渐新世的乌兰戈楚期和呼尔井期的时代应改归晚始新世，原认为是中渐新世的三达河期的时代应为早渐新世。在亚洲始新世－渐新世的界线不是在乌兰戈楚期之末，而是在呼尔井期与三达河期之间。

Research on fluid inclusions of the Yinshan polymetallic deposit, Jiangxi Province, China

In this paper some new advances in the study of fluid inclusions of the Yinshan deposit in Jiangxi Province,China,are presented.The fluid inclusions of the deposit can be divided into four types:1) gas-rich inclusions;2)liquid-rich inclusions;3)salt-saturated H2O inclusions;and 4)single-phase or multiphase CO2-rich inclusions.Homogenization temperatures of the fluid inclusions range from 100 to 520℃,aminly in the range 120-400℃.The daughter crystal-bearing multiphase inclusions present in quartz porphyries(including Nos.13 and 4 dikes)have been observed.In ore veins,some daughter crystal-bearing multiphase inclusions have been observed.too.On the basis of the results of fluid inclusion research,the authors suggest that the ore-forming fluid must have a close genetic relation to magmatic hydrothermal solution.The ore-forming fluid was dominantly originated from the depth and the mixing of magmatic solution with meteoric water was enhanced during ascending of the fluid,accompanying immiscibility and boiling of fluid.Teher may be a conceales igneous body at the depth of the Yinshan deposity,which furnishes the scientific basis for metallogenic prognosis at th depth of the Yinshan deposit.     

Why are halo coronal mass ejections faster?

Halo coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have been to be significantly faster than normal CMEs, which is a long-standing puzzle. In order to solve the puzzle, we first investigate the observed properties of 31 limb CMEs that clearly display loopshaped frontal loops. The observational results show a strong tendency that slower CMEs are weaker in white-light intensity. Then, we perform a Monte Carlo simulation of 20000 artificial limb CMEs that have an average velocity of ～523km s -1. The Thomson scattering of thes...
