黏土中自升式钻井船插桩对邻近桩基影响的分析方法

自升式钻井船是广泛用于浅、中水域油气资源开发的重要设施,经常紧邻固定式导管架平台进行作业。钻井船插桩就位过程中大量土体被排开,挤土效应会导致邻近导管架平台桩基承受很大的附加荷载,影响平台的正常设计性能,该效应在黏土中尤为显著。针对黏土中钻井船插桩对邻近桩基的影响这一实际问题,现有规范和分析方法存在明显不足。为此,建立了一套数值分析方法,把这一复杂问题分解成相对独立、简单的两个方面进行分析：一是采用任意拉格朗日-欧拉（ALE）数值方法,计算自由场地插桩周围土体产生的位移场;二是利用桩基水平力与位移关系曲线,即P-Y曲线,采用杆系-土弹簧的传统方法计算土体位移产生的桩体加载。通过与已有离心试验数据的比较,验证了该方法的可靠性和适用性。研究揭示了自由场地土体的变形模式和流动机制,阐明了由于插桩邻近桩基产生的附加荷载变化规律,特别是发现了黏土变形参数 对插桩引起的自由场地土体位移场有显著影响,但对插桩引起的桩基加载影响较小。最后,针对导管架对桩基的桩头约束条件和插桩及导管架自身对桩基的线性叠加加载适用性问题给出了详细说明。

晚上新世-早更新世北太平洋和黄土高原的风尘沉积记录的初步对比

保存在陆地、海洋和冰芯中的风尘沉积物与粉尘源区的干旱化历史、过去大气环流模式及其强度的演化密切相关,因而,直接的海陆风尘记录对比一直是古气候研究中的热点.为了获得对亚洲粉尘源区的干旱化波动和东亚季风演化的全面认识,较高分辨率地提取了北太平洋ODP 885站深海沉积物中的风尘组分,进而估算了晚上新世-早更新世时段北太平洋中部的风尘通量变化.结果表明,亚洲内陆粉尘源区的干燥度具有大时间尺度的变化特征,在2.Ma左右急剧增加,随后在2.～1.5Ma时段逐渐减小,自1.5Ma开始又逐渐增加.此外,在2.～0.9Ma时段,粉尘源区经历了多次显著的轨道时间尺度上的干湿波动.通过对北太平洋和黄土高原的风尘记录的直接对比,发现在距今约2.Ma,东亚地区的古环境发生了显著的变动,表现为亚洲内陆干旱化的加剧和大幅度冬、夏季风环流的盛行.然而,自2.Ma开始,尤其是1.5Ma以后,由于北太平洋和黄土高原与亚洲粉尘源区的距离不同,两地的风尘通量所揭示的干旱化趋势和变化幅度存有明显差异.北太平洋远离亚洲内陆,其风尘通量变化基本不受粉尘源区范围变化的影响,因而更能反映源区干燥度的变化.相反,黄土高原由于距离粉尘源区较近,风尘通量的变化可能同时受到粉尘源区干燥度和范围的变化以及携带粉尘的风动力强度变化的影响.显然,海洋和陆地古气候记录的直接对比,可为深入认识过去气候变化提供新的思路.     

库姆塔格沙漠的“羽毛状沙丘”形态的观测

参照卫星照片和地形图,实地观测了库姆塔格沙漠“羽毛状沙丘”分布区域的地貌。新月型“沙垄”是该区域的主导性地貌类型,垄间地形波状起伏。如果将“沙垄”喻为“羽轴”,垄间的波状起伏地形为“羽枝”,则可构成卫星照片所显示的“羽毛状沙丘”。新月型“沙垄”的走向为NE-SW,由新月形沙丘前一沙丘的迎风坡与后一沙丘的东翼相连而成,高3~19m,宽约50m,长15~22km。“垄”间起伏地形的波长为100~300m,振幅为40~100cm,与“沙垄”成60~105°夹角。在波状起伏地形的波峰与波谷过渡区堆积颜色较浅的细沙,厚2~7cm,构成了“大沙波”。实地观测的“羽毛状沙丘”的形态与卫星照片显示的形态有一定差异。     

The influence of wind and river pulses on an estuarine turbidity maximum: Numerical studies and field observations in Chesapeake Bay

The effect of pulsed events on estuarine turbidity maxima (ETM) was investigated with the Princeton Ocean Model, a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The theoretical model was adapted to a straight-channel estuary and enhanced with sediment transport, erosion, deposition, and burial components. Wind and river pulse scenarios from the numerical model were compared to field observations before and after river pulse and wind events in upper Chesapeake Bay. Numerical studies and field observations demonstrated that the salt front and ETM had rapid and nonlinear responses to short-term pulses in river flow and wind. Although increases and decreases in river flow caused down-estuary and up-estuary (respectively) movements of the salt front, the effect of increased river flow was more pronounced than that of decreased river flow. Along-channel wind events also elicited non-linear responses. The salt front moved in the opposite direction of wind stress, shifting up-estuary in response to down-estuary winds and vice-versa. Modeled pulsed events affected suspended sediment distributions by modifying the location of the salt front, near-bottom shear stress, and the location of bottom sediment in relation to stratification within the salt front. Bottom sediment accumulated near the convergent zone at the tip of the salt front, but lagged behind the rapid response of the salt front during wind events. While increases in river flow and along-channel winds resulted in sediment transport down-estuary, only reductions in river flow resulted in consistent up-estuary movement of bottom sediment. Model predictions suggest that wind and river pulse events significantly influence salt front structure and circulation patterns, and have an important role in the transport of sediment in upper estuaries.     

Estimating coefficients of volume compressibility from compression of strata and piezometric changes in a multiaquifer system in west Taiwan

This paper estimates the coefficients of volume compressibility from variation in compressible layer thickness and changes in piezometric heads by using detail ground surface surveys and a multilayer monitoring well at a selected site (Shigang) within the Choshui River alluvial fan in west Taiwan. The paper integrates various types of in situ monitoring tools, including leveling surveys, continuous global position system (GPS) stations, multilevel layer compression and groundwater pressure head-monitoring wells, to investigate the situation and progress of the subsidence problem in the region. The results from the cross-analyses of the measured data show that surface settlement caused by the compression of strata is between the depths of 60 and 210 m where the clayey stratum within 120-180 m was most pronounced and contributes up to 53% of the total compression. The results indicate that the clayey stratum is under normal consolidation. The results also reflect the fact that 20% of settlement contribution comes from the sandy stratum within 90-120 m; the elasto-plastic behavior of this sandy stratum is clear. The coefficients of volume compressibility of the clayey and sandy stratum analysed from the stratum's compression records; they were 6.38×10⁻⁸ and 5.71×10⁻⁹ m²/N, respectively. Ultimately, this parameter estimation would permit to control and predict land subsidence based on change in pressure head which are related to groundwater extraction.

1990—2018年中巴经济走廊冰湖时空变化特征

中巴经济走廊是贯通南北丝路的关键枢纽。在全球变暖的背景下, 区域内冰川变化情况复杂, 部分冰川出现前进或跃动现象, 冰湖溃决的风险在不断上升, 进而威胁中巴经济走廊的建设与民生安全。基于1990—2018年Landsat TM/ETM+/OLI遥感影像, 利用目视解译方法提取了中巴经济走廊3期冰湖编目数据, 并分析了28年来该区域内冰湖的总体变化趋势、 空间异质性以及成因。结果表明： 中巴经济走廊目前共发育有2 380个冰湖, 总面积为（131.76±19.08） km², 集中分布于喀喇昆仑山脉和喜马拉雅山脉; 1990—2018年期间, 冰湖总体面积扩张速度为0.48%·a^-1, 但各个山脉不同规模冰湖面积变化差异较大。中巴经济走廊在气温和降水的共同作用下, 区内冰湖面积呈扩张趋势, 同时气温和降水变化率的空间差异使得冰湖面积变化存在空间差异; 冰川的快速退缩增加了区内冰湖溃决的风险。
