Analysis of Magnetic Shear in An X17 Solar Flare on October 28, 2003

An X17 class (GOES soft X-ray) two-ribbon solar flare on October 28, 2003 is analyzed in order to determine the relationship between the timing of the impulsive phase of the flare and the magnetic shear change in the flaring region. EUV observations made by the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) show a clear decrease in the shear of the flare footpoints during the flare. The shear change stopped in the middle of the impulsive phase. The observations are interpreted in terms of the splitting of the sheared envelope field of the greatly sheared core rope during the early phase of the flare. We have also investigated the temporal correlation between the EUV emission from the brightenings observed by TRACE and the hard X-ray (HXR) emission (E > 150 keV) observed by the anticoincidence system (ACS) of the spectrometer SPI on board the ESA INTEGRAL satellite. The correlation between these two emissions is very good, and the HXR sources (RHESSI) late in the flare are located within the two EUV ribbons. These observations are favorable to the explanation that the EUV brightenings mainly result from direct bombardment of the atmosphere by the energetic particles accelerated at the reconnection site, as does the HXR emission. However, if there is a high temperature (T > 20 MK) HXR source close to the loop top, a contribution of thermal conduction to the EUV brightenings cannot be ruled out.

Pressure calibration and sound velocity measurement to 12 GPa in multi-anvil apparatus

We performed the pressure calibration to 12 GPa for 14/6 type (octahedron edge length/WC truncated edge length, in mm) cell assembly in DS 6 × 1400 multi-anvil apparatus by using the phase transitions in Bi (I-II 2.55 GPa, III-V 7.67 GPa) and ZnTe (LPP-HPP I 9.6 GPa, HPP I-II 12.0 GPa). As verification and application, sound velocity measurements on polycrystalline Al₂O₃ to 12 GPa at room temperature were conducted and the ultrasonic result is in good agreement with previous reports. It demonstrates the feasibility of performing sound velocity measurements close to the mantle transition zone pressure condition in our laboratory.

     

高桩码头抗震简化分析方法

国际贸易的迅速发展,加快了港口工程建设的速度,同时对港口工程的抗震性能提出了更高的要求。高桩码头作为港口工程中最常用的结构型式之一,在我国港口工程建设方面得到了广泛应用。目前对高桩码头的抗震简化分析方法以及桩基特性对高桩码头地震响应的影响方面研究较少。基于此,本文利用开源有限元数值计算平台OpenSees,介绍了高桩码头简化分析方法模型的建立途径,并分析了桩基特性参数对高桩码头关键地震响应量的影响。研究结果表明：钢筋弹性模量对码头桩基的地震响应影响较小,可减少考虑;钢筋的强化阶段对截面达到屈服曲率后的弯矩承载力起主要作用;混凝土抗压强度的增加可降低结构的位移响应峰值;过大或过小的混凝土抗压强度和钢筋屈服强度,都不利于码头结构对地震能量的耗散。     

高能级强夯法处理深厚吹填砂土地基现场试验

沿海吹填砂土地基地下水位较高、常含软土夹层,地基处理难度大。为了研究高能级强夯在这类吹填砂土地基上的加固效果,在山东沿海某吹填砂土场地开展6 000和8 000 kN·m能级强夯加固试验。试验结束后分别运用标准贯入试验、静力触探试验、平板载荷试验进行现场检测。通过对比分析了设计要求深度范围内标准贯入试验和静力触探试验,发现夯前夯后标准贯入试验击数和静力触探锥尖试验阻力均明显提升,有效消除了饱和砂土和饱和粉土的液化势;通过平板载荷试验p-s曲线及夯后静力触探锥尖阻力标准值与承载力特征值的关系式,得到夯后砂土地基承载力特征值≥120 kPa,验证了高能级强夯方案的可行性。其次,对软土夹层位置和地下水位高度展开研究,发现软土层会阻碍夯击能传递,减小强夯有效加固深度,且软土层位置不同对强夯加固效果影响程度不同,强夯影响临界范围处存在软土层时,有效加固深度为软土层顶部位置处;对砂土地基进行4 000 kN·m能级强夯试验时,发现未降水强夯后有效加固深度为5 m,降水至地面以下3 m强夯后有效加固深度达到了7 m,提高了加固效果。在高能级强夯研究基础上,对现场吹填砂土地基进行了75万m²的大面积高能级强夯施工,发现处理后地基能够满足建筑用地要求。

海绵城市建设以低影响开发为核心,其核心技术措施中的“渗、蓄、滞、净、用、排”与地质环境密切相关。从地质环境适宜性的角度出发,以常州城市规划区为对象,基于GIS类软件,使用层次分析法、综合评分法等方法,综合考虑研究区的地形地貌、包气带特征、浅层含水层特征及地质灾害情况,构建了常州城市规划区海绵城市建设地质环境评价模型,分析了影响海绵城市建设的主要地质因素,并评价了该区地质环境适宜性。主要结论有:浅层含水层岩性与厚度、包气带岩性及地质灾害易发性是影响常州市海绵城市建设最主要的地质因素;研究区海绵城市地质环境整体较好,适宜性在中等及以上地区分布面积占总面积的89.69%。构建的地质环境评价模型可为同类型海绵城市地质环境评价与城市建设提供技术支撑。
