中晚全新世科尔沁沙地演化与气候变化

科尔沁沙地位于东亚季风区的东北缘,环境对气候变化反应非常敏感。地层沉积相、粒度与地球化学参数表明中晚全新世科尔沁沙地环境与气候变化可以分为以下3个阶段：7.0~3.6 cal ka BP,沙地逐渐固定、缩小,冬季风减弱,夏季风不断增强,气候趋于暖湿;3.6~1.3 cal ka BP,沙地总体上较为稳定,但也存在活化、扩张,与上一阶段相比夏季风强度有所降低,但仍强于冬季风,气候相对暖湿;1.3~0.65 cal ka BP,沙地出现多次活化、扩张和固定、缩小,冬夏季风交替频繁,气候呈现冷干-相对暖湿的组合。具体来讲,中晚全新世以来科尔沁沙地存在8次活化、扩张和8次固定、缩小期,气候变化也存在8次冷干和8次相对暖湿期,两者存在明显的对应关系。太阳辐射与全球冰量变化是中晚全新世科尔沁沙地演化与气候格局的主要驱动力。

Design and development of safety evaluation system of buildings on a seismic field based on the network platform

This paper describes a set of on-site earthquake safety evaluation systems for buildings, which were developed based on a network platform. The system embedded into the quantitative research results which were completed in accordance with the provisions from Post-earthquake Field Works, Part 2: Safety Assessment of Buildings, GB18208.2-2001, and was further developed into an easy-to-use software platform. The system is aimed at allowing engineering professionals, civil engineeing technicists or earthquake-affected victims on site to assess damaged buildings through a network after earthquakes. The authors studied the function structure, process design of the safety evaluation module, and hierarchical analysis algorithm module of the system in depth, and developed the general architecture design, development technology and database design of the system. Technologies such as hierarchical architecture design and Java EE were used in the system development, and My SQL5 was adopted in the database development. The result is a complete evaluation process of information collection, safety evaluation, and output of damage and safety degrees, as well as query and statistical analysis of identified buildings. The system can play a positive role in sharing expert post-earthquake experience and promoting safety evaluation of buildings on a seismic field.     

基于MPGA的复杂应力状态边坡稳定性分析

极限平衡法在边坡稳定性分析中处于主导地位,该算法通常建立在一定的假设之上,没有考虑边坡土体的非线性应力-应变关系,不能用于未达到极限状态以及加固后边坡的稳定性分析。为了解决以上问题,将有限元计算与多种群遗传算法（MPGA）相结合,建立一种基于MPGA的复杂应力状态边坡稳定性分析通用模型,通过数值应力场求解安全系数,并为多种群遗传算法构建适应度函数;再利用多种群遗传算法为安全系数的计算提供滑移面。为了保证分析的高效、合理,根据滑移面发展趋势,动态产生初始滑移面,并增加一个滑移面约束条件。最后,通过均质边坡和软弱夹层边坡两个典型算例分析验证了该方法的合理性;通过分析土钉加固的软弱夹层边坡,证明了该方法可用于加固等复杂应力状态边坡的稳定性分析。     

Characteristics analysis of spatial and temporal variation on extreme weather events in Anhui Province for recent 50 years

To mitigate the impact of natural or man-made hazards on the services of an infrastructure facility, it is important to quantitatively assess its available capacity. For example, in a post-disaster scenario, critical infrastructure is likely to experience (i) excessive demand for the service of an infrastructure and/or (ii) compromised capacity because of damage to the infrastructure and the failure of infrastructure interdependencies. As the demand grows and nears the capacity limit of an infrastructure facility, a shortage of services required for the community’s recovery will occur. The development of mitigation strategies and an assessment of their effectiveness require a systematic approach. In this paper, a functional stress–strain principle for infrastructure facilities is proposed to quantitatively assess their serviceability in post-disaster scenarios. Functional stress in infrastructure management represents a service-related demand on an infrastructure facility, while strain indicates its coping capacity. The dynamic nature of infrastructure services will be considered depending on the relationship between demand and available capacity. The allowable range of functional stress is then defined, considering plastic and elastic patterns of responses of a facility during recovery to explore strain capacity variations. The proposed principle facilitates a systematic understanding of how infrastructure facilities can adapt themselves to growing stress and the maximum level of stress they can handle. The application of the proposed functional stress–strain principle is demonstrated through case studies of two infrastructure facilities in a post-earthquake scenario: a medical facility and a power facility.     

A geo-ontology-based approach to decision-making in emergency management of meteorological disasters

Ontology as a kind of method for knowledge representation is able to provide semantic integration for decision support in emergency management activities of meteorological disasters. We examine a meteorological disaster system as composed of four components: disastrous meteorological events, hazard-inducing environments, hazard-bearing bodies, and emergency management. The geospatial characteristics of these components can be represented with geographical ontology (geo-ontology). In this paper, we propose an ontology representation of domain knowledge of a meteorological disaster system descending from an adapted geospatial foundation ontology, designed to formally conceptualize the domain terms and establish relationships between those concepts. The class hierarchy and relationships of the proposed ontology are implemented finally at top level, domain level/task level, and application level. The potential application of the ontology is illustrated with a case study of prediction of secondary disasters and evacuation decision of a typhoon event. The multi-level ontology model can provide semantic support for before-, during-, after-event emergency management activities such as risk assessment, resource preparedness, and emergency response where the formed concepts and their relationships can be incorporated into reasoning sentences of these decision processes. Furthermore, the ontology model is realized with a universally used intermediate language OWL, which enables it to be used in popular environments. This work will underlie the semantic integration among human beings, between heterogeneous systems and between human beings and systems, enable spatial semantic reasoning, and will be useful in guiding advanced decision support in emergency management of meteorological disasters.     

Spatial characters of nutrients in Wujiangdu Reservoir in karst river,SW China

A preliminary assessment of the Wujiangdu Reservoir examined nutrient distribution and transport. Water samples were collected in the summer (July) of 2004, during the high-flow season. Inorganic nutrients (N, P, Si) and chlorophyll a (chl a) concentrations of the Wujiangdu Reservoir and its inflow rivers were analyzed. Other water parameters (dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, and electrical conductivity) were measured as well. The results show gradually decreasing concentrations of NO₃ ^?-N and dissolved silicate in the surface water moving downstream to the dam of the Wujiangdu Reservoir. Additionally, soluble reactive phosphorus concentrations measured very low, with most falling below the sensitivity threshold of the method used in surface waters. Particulate phosphorus and NO₃ ^?-N were the predominant species of phosphorus and nitrogen in the reservoir, respectively. The concentration of nutrients in the Yeji River was the largest of all inflow rivers. The maximum concentration of chl a was found near the dam. These results reflect upstream conditions similar to that of a river, and reservoir conditions near the dam similar to that of a natural lake system.     

西藏拉萨地块南缘雄村矿集区首次发现早石炭世辉长岩:古特提斯洋的残留?

拉萨地块是研究特提斯洋形成演化和青藏高原陆内汇聚作用的关键地区,前人对拉萨地块中新生代构造演化过程进行了大量的研究,而对于古生代演化阶段研究较为薄弱。本文以拉萨地块南缘雄村矿集区新发现的辉长岩为研究对象,对雄村辉长岩进行锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年,探讨其反映的构造意义。雄村辉长岩中锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄为(341.55±0.89)Ma,表明其形成于早石炭世。结合区域地质演化过程,认为早石炭世雄村辉长岩可能是古特提斯洋的残留,新的年龄数据将为研究拉萨地块和特提斯洋的演化过程提供重要的约束。     

Capacities and failure modes of suction bucket foundation with internal bulkheads

Suction bucket foundations can be divided into four compartments by cruciform internal bulkheads, thereby yielding better capacity in certain conditions than those without internal bulkheads. As yet, no systematic study has been conducted regarding the effects of cruciform internal bulkheads on the capacities of suction bucket foundations. In this study, we established a large number of finite element models of suction bucket foundations with and without cruciform internal bulkheads and of solid embedded circular foundations. We found the uniaxial capacities and failure modes of suction bucket foundations with various depth ratios to remain basically unaffected by internal bulkheads in uniform clays. However, in inhomogeneous clay with high strength heterogeneity, we observed the uniaxial moment and horizontal capacities and corresponding failure modes of suction bucket foundations with a low depth ratio to be obviously affected by internal bulkheads. In this case, the uniaxial moment capacities, in particular, as well as the horizontal capacities of suction bucket foundations with cruciform internal bulkheads become obviously greater than those without internal bulkheads. Under combined loading, we found the failure envelopes of suction bucket foundations with and without cruciform internal bulkheads and of solid circular foundation to also be basically consistent in uniform clays. However, in inhomogeneous clay with high strength heterogeneity, cruciform internal bulkheads can obviously change the shapes of the failure envelopes of bucket foundations with a small depth ratio. We conclude that when the acting vertical load or foundation depth is relatively small, suction bucket foundations with cruciform internal bulkheads can be subjected to larger moment and horizontal loads in soft clays with high strength heterogeneity.
