江汉盆地潜江凹陷古近系潜江组含盐岩系沉积特征与沉积环境

潜江组盐层间的层段（盐间段）由砂岩和非砂岩两部分组成。其中非砂岩分布广泛，主要由单层厚度为毫米-厘米级累积厚度达几十厘米至几米的含盐韵律组成，并多为复成分的蒸发盐矿物、碳酸盐矿物及陆源的粘土和细碎屑矿物组成的混积岩。过去，人们对盐间段非砂岩的研究主要基于对岩性的认识，对于其沉积特征和沉积环境方面的研究较薄弱。本文通过对潜江凹陷西北部王场构造3口井共约151米岩芯的精细研究，对盐间段沉积特征和沉积环境进行了系统分析。认为潜江组盐间段湖盆环境为常年性较深水分层盐湖，大体可分为微咸水湖、半咸水湖、咸水湖和盐湖，水体深度自下而上逐渐变浅。     

Far-field analysis of effects of unilateral rupturing fault on the space correlation of strong ground motion

IntroductionThe data of strong motion arrays indicate that the variation of strong motion is intensive within several kilometers. The effect of this kind of variation to long-span or extended structure is very large and has attracted the attention of scientists of earthquake engineering for a long time (FENG, HU, 1981; Abrahamson, et al, 1987, 1991; Abrahamson, 1992; Yamazaki, Turke, 1992). It is well-known that temporal and spatial variation of ground strong motion is generally affected b…     

Dynamic Analysis of Submarine Pipelines on an Elastic / Viscoelastic Foundation

This paper presents a new finite element method for solving static and dynamic problems in laying operation of pipelines. The effect of the viscoelastic soil behavior is considered by using the Pasternak foundation model. Some examples are also presented.     

Perturbed solution of sea-air oscillator for the El Nino/ La Nina-Southern Oscillation mechanism

A class of coupled system of the El Nino/La Nina-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) mechanism is studied. Using the perturbed theory, the asymptotic expansions of the solution for ENSO model are obtained and the asymptotic behavior of solution for corresponding problem is considered.     

Structural Styles of Longmen Mountain Thrust Belt,SW China

Through field geological investigation and seismic interpretation of the Longmen (龙门) Mountain thrust belt, we summarized the following structural styles: thrust belt, fault-related fold (fault bend fold, fault propagation fold, and fault decollement fold), pop-up, triangle zone, duplex, superimposed fold, ductile deformation structures, reverse thrust fault, klippe, decollement structure,etc.. These structural styles have evident distribution characteristics; they had zonation and segmentation in plane. Th...     

Statistical Characteristics of Strong Ground Motion Specified by Response Spectrum and Power Spectral Density Function

The statistical characteristics of strong ground motion specified by response spectrum and power spectral density function are studied using 190 strong-motion records of the Haicheng and Tangshan earthquakes in China and 138 earthquakes in the western United States.The response spectrum is normalized by the peak ground acceleration(i.e.,represented as spectral magnification factor),and the power spectral density function is described by the Kanai-Tajimi spectrum.The statistics and dependence of parameters are evaluated,and correlations between the spectral magnification factor or Kanai-Tajimi spectral parameters and the site condition,epicentral distance,or local magnitude are investigated.The statistical characteristics of spectra China and the U.S.A.are compared.Based on the results obtained the values of the statistics on spectral parameters for earthquake engineering applications in China are suggested.     

Response analysis of buried pipelines crossing fault due to overlying soil rupture

A 3-D soil-pipe nonlinear finite element model with contact element is suggested and the influences of the rupture mode, thickness and rigidity of overlying soil on the response of buried pipeline are analyzed. The numerical results show that the soil rupture mode determines the location of the large deformation or failure of the pipeline, and the plastic deformation of the pipeline occurs at the zone where the plastic deformation or rupture of the overlying soil appears. When the fault dip angle on bedrock...     

Effect of Longitudinal Plastic Bending of Pipeline on Buckle Propagation Pressure

A plastic ring-beam model simulating the longitudinal transition zone of submarine pipelines in the buckle propagation is presented. The nonlinear relationships between the buckle propagation pressure and the length of the transition zone and the position parameter of the longitudinal plastic hinge are derived using the energy principle. The related values are obtained by means of solving a set of nonlinear equations. The model conforms better to reality than the ring models for considering the effect of the longitudinal plastic bending of the transition zone. The computations for some stainless steel and aluminium tubes with different geometrical parameters are performed. The results obtained agree better with the experimental results than existing theoretical predictions.     

黔东南地区褶皱构造样式及其断层突破模式

黔东南地区发育隔槽式褶皱组合和逆冲断层.通过对褶皱和地层的平面展布、断层的产状和性质以及滑脱层的分析, 结合典型地震剖面解释和平衡剖面恢复, 对黔东南地区构造特征及其成因进行了探讨.结果表明, 隔槽式褶皱的发育不仅与滑脱深度和剥蚀差异有关, 而且与逆冲断层的推覆距离、逆冲断层的产状、断坪断坡长度比、断层突破方式和多层次滑脱等方面存在着密切联系.结合区域构造演化和推覆距离的制约, 建立了黔东南地区的隔槽式褶皱构造样式的几何学和运动学模型, 确定其主要影响因素是断坪断坡长度比较小、多种方式断层突破和多层次滑脱.
