江南造山带东段陈蔡地区新元古代高硅埃达克质花岗闪长岩的发现及其构造启示

华南由扬子板块与华夏板块在新元古代拼合而成,其拼合时间与演化模式一直广受争议。江南造山带是其重要的拼合带,带内保留一系列新元古代沉积作用-岩浆活动记录,是研究扬子板块与华夏板块拼贴碰撞时间与演化机制的理想场所。本文针对江南造山带东段陈蔡地区花岗闪长岩,开展了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学、全岩主微量元素及Sr-Nd同位素地球化学研究。代表性样品的~(206)Pb/~(238)U加权平均年龄为838±5Ma和836±4Ma,为花岗闪长岩的原岩结晶年龄。样品K_2O含量为1.30%～2.57%,铝饱和指数(A/CNK)为1.01～1.54,为钙碱性过铝质花岗闪长岩。样品高Si O_2(63.38%～68.97%)、Al_2O_3(15.30%～16.70%)、Na_2O(3.89%～6.24%)、Sr(306×10~(-6)～628×10~(-6))、Sr/Y(26～80)和低Mg O含量(0.64%～1.99%)、K_2O/Na_2O(0.17～0.64)、低Y含量(3.38×10~(-6)～16.10×10~(-6))和Yb含量(0.42×10~(-6)～1.67×10~(-6)),δEu异常不明显,相对富集轻稀土和大离子亲石元素、强烈亏损重稀土和高场强元素、低~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr初始值(0.7015～0.7022)和高ε_(Nd)(t)值(+4.10～+6.13),具有与高硅埃达克岩相似的特征。结合区域构造演化背景,认为陈蔡花岗闪长岩是扬子板块与华夏板块之间的古洋壳向双溪坞陆弧地体俯冲的过程中,俯冲板片熔体被少量地幔楔橄榄岩同化和交代的产物,暗示838～836Ma时江南造山带东段仍处于俯冲消减阶段,扬子与华夏尚未完成最终拼合。综合现有证据,认为扬子与华夏在江南造山带各区段于ca.825～820Ma完成拼合。     

Fault slip and modern tectonic stress field in and around Kunming basin

Kunming basin is a Cenozoic faulted basin under the control of mainly SN-trending active faults. In and around the basin, there are a total of eight major active faults. Seismo-geological survey and fault slip observation show that the SN- and NE-trending active faults are mostly sinistral strike-slip faults, while the NW-trending faults are mostly dextral strike-slip faults. Using stress tensor inversion method with 706 active fault striation data at 22 measurement sites, we determined tectonic stress field of the study area. The result shows that modern tectonic stress field in and around Kunming basin is characterized by NNW-SSE compression, ENE-WSW extension, and strike-slip stress regimes. The maximum principal compressional stress (σ1) is oriented 335o~2o, with an average dip angle of 21°; the minimum (σ3) is oriented 44o~93o, with an average dip angle of 14°, and the intermediate (σ2) has a high, or nearly vertical, dip angle. The inversion result from fault slip data is consistent with the result from focal mechanism solutions.     

Investigating the ancient Martian magnetic field using microwaves

The new microwave palaeointensity technique has been used to investigate samples from the Martian meteorite Nakhla. This technique is a promising new way to obtain absolute palaeointensity information regarding the ancient Martian magnetic field as recorded by the Martian meteorites. Assuming that a part of the magnetic remanence is of thermal origin and originating on Mars the two samples studied yield estimates of 4 μT for the Martian magnetic field at 1.35 Ga.     

Effect of non‐moment braced frame seismic deformations on buckling‐restrained brace end connection behavior: Theoretical analysis and subassemblage tests

In‐plane buckling‐restrained brace (BRB) end rotation induced by frame action is a commonly observed phenomenon in buckling‐restrained braced frames (BRBFs). However, its effect on BRB end connection behavior has not yet been clear. In this study, four BRB end deformation modes for quick determination of end rotational demand are proposed for non‐moment BRBF considering different BRB arrangements, installing story of BRBs, and boundary condition of corner gussets connected with column base. Key factors affecting BRB end rotation and flexural moments are examined theoretically by parametric analysis. Subassemblage tests of seven BRB specimens under horizontal cyclic loading were conducted by adopting two loading frames to impose the expected BRB end deformations. It shows that BRB end rotation subjected BRB ends to significant flexural moments, leading to premature yielding of BRB ends or even tendency of end zone buckling. The deformation modes, the flexural rigidity of BRB ends, and the initial geometric imperfections of BRBs were found to have significant influence on BRB end connection behavior. The triggering moment induced by BRB end rotation was the main contributor to end flexural moment. However, the moment amplification effect induced by flexure of BRB end zones became prominent especially for small flexural rigidity of BRB ends. Implications and future research needs for design of BRB end connections are provided finally based on the theoretical and experimental results. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
