Late Devonian OIB alkaline gabbro in the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone: Remnants of the Paleo-Tethys?

The Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone (YZSZ) is believed to be composed of material largely derived from the destruction of the Neo-Tethys that occurred from early Mesozoic to early Cenozoic. We report here geochronological and petrological data obtained for newly discovered alkaline gabbro blocks embedded in a mélange zone of the western YZSZ. Single zircon U–Pb analyses from one representative gabbro sample by SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) yielded a combined crystallization age of about 363.7 ± 1.7 Ma (1σ). In situ Hf isotopic analyses yielded ε_Hf(t) values of + 2.6 to + 5.5, suggesting an enriched mantle source. All of the gabbro samples show typical Ocean Island Basalt (OIB) affinity with little or no continental crust contamination. They also display strong geochemical similarities with the Hawaii basalts and the Xigaze seamount basalts suggestive of their intra-oceanic setting. These observations, in combination with the Early Carboniferous layered gabbros reported at Luobusa, indicate that these rocks could represent remnants of the Paleo-Tethys. We propose that a branch ocean separating the Western Qiangtang terrane and the Lhasa terrane from the Gondwana continent might have been present during the Late Devonian and the Early Carboniferous, providing new constrains on the configuration of Paleo-Tethys in Tibetan Plateau during early Late Paleozoic.     

淮南市朱集东矿井新生界松散层地下水开采保证程度评价

利用淮南市朱集东矿井新生界松散层供水水文地质勘探成果和抽水试验资料,查明了区内新生界松散层供水含水层的供水水文地质条件,认为第一含水层埋藏浅,易受污染,水量随季节变化大,不宜作为生活饮用水供水水源,第三含水层水质较差,亦不作为生活饮用水供水水源,确定了第二含水层为矿区主要供水层位。采用解析法对第二含水层的水量进行了计算,并设计了布井方案,计算了井群水量;水位预报结果表明,开采50a后,3#、4#井中的水位最大降深为35.229m,小于其顶板埋深,说明拟建井群布置是合适的。评价结果为矿井供水设计提供了依据。

水工隧洞应用日趋广泛,如何确定水工隧洞初期支护方案是设计中的重点课题。以北京市南水北调配套工程南干渠工程为背景,通过现场试验确定水工隧洞支护施工配合比,然后对网喷混凝土支护及钢纤维喷射混凝土两种初期支护结构进行数值模拟研究,并结合现场监测及现场施工效果,进行浅埋水工隧洞支护方案研究。研究结果表明：采用钢纤维喷射混凝土支护与网喷混凝土支护相比,钢纤维喷射混凝土支护更能保证施工安全。研究成果对于类似隧洞设计及施工具有借鉴和参考价值。     

广清高速公路改扩建工程岩溶塌陷主要影响因素分析

岩溶塌陷对工程建设的影响不容小视。为了研究广清高速公路改扩建工程中影响岩溶塌陷的两个主要因素冲击荷载作用和地下水下降对塌陷的影响程度,在资料收集和现场调研的基础上,统计工程区12处岩溶塌陷的基本情况,总结塌陷特征并分析影响塌陷的主要因素,建立与实际覆盖层结构相符的塌陷地质模型-砂土+粉质黏土+灰岩地质模型。根据极限平衡理论,分别在冲击荷载和水位下降两种力学作用下对塌陷地质模型进行稳定性计算。通过计算得出,最大冲击荷载的作用在一定程度上会影响覆盖层的稳定性,但不是导致地面塌陷的主要因素,而地下水位下降对工程区岩溶塌陷起到了决定性的作用。通过进一步分析水位下降对塌陷的影响程度,确定水位降幅4m为警戒值, 6m为危险值,为保证施工的安全性提供一定的理论依据。     

斯维尔德鲁普盆地天然气水合物成藏条件及分布预测

斯维尔德鲁普盆地是北极地区最重要的含油气盆地之一,研究者普遍认为这一地区可能具有良好的水合物资源潜力,已有的钻井勘探成果也显示了大量天然气水合物存在的迹象;目前国内对北极地区油气的研究尚处于起步阶段,对斯维尔德鲁普盆地也缺乏系统的认识。结合测井资料解释及国内外理论研究成果,介绍了斯维尔德鲁普盆地的油气地质背景,综合分析了盆内水合物成藏的气源条件、温压条件、构造条件和沉积条件,对水合物的分布范围做出了预测并初步估算了盆内水合物所含天然气的资源量。结果表明,斯维尔德鲁普盆地较好地满足了天然气水合物的成藏条件,盆内主要有3个水合物勘探远景区,资源潜力巨大。这一结论对未来在北极地区进行的油气勘探具有重要的参考价值。
