Performance evaluation of steel reduced flange plate moment connections

This study details a new moment connection that overcomes difficulties in achieving field‐weld quality and eliminates steel beam buckling encountered in steel moment connections. This study presents cyclic test and finite element analysis results of full‐scale subassemblies using steel reduced flange plates (RFPs) to connect steel beam flanges and the column without any other direct connection. Since the RFP connection is designed as strong column‐strong beam‐weak RFPs, the RFP functions as a structural fuse that eliminates weld fractures and beam buckling. Test and analytical results show that (1) the connections transferred the entire beam flexural strength to the column and reached an interstorey drift of 4% with minor strength degradation, (2) failure of the connections was owing to buckling or fracturing of the RFP and not of the beam, and (3) the RFP connection subassembly, modelled using the nonlinear finite element computer program ABAQUS, exhibited hysteretic behaviour similar to that of the flange plate (FP) moment connection subassembly. The inelastic buckling force of the RFP was also evaluated by nonlinear regression analyses performed on a nonlinear model that relates buckling force to RFP geometries.

我国地震地下流体观测研究40年发展与展望

本文简要回顾了我国地震地下流体学科40年观测研究发展的历史,分析了目前存在的主要关键科学问题和当前国际地震流体观测研究动态,并对今后的发展趋势提出了一些认识。     

三峡水库蓄水对地下流体动态影响的研究

三峡水库是举世闻名的特大水利水电工程,坝高175 m,库容393亿m3.为了确保工程的地震安全性,在库首区建立了诱发地震监测系统,其中包括地震地下流体前兆监测台网(简称三峡井网).该井网由8个井台组成,观测水位、水温与土氡3个地下流体前兆测项,另有气压、降雨、气温与库水位等配套观测,全为无人职守的自动数字化观测.该井网于2000年3月开始运行,各项动态的正常变化规律基本清楚.     

阿尔金茫崖地区早古生代蛇绿岩的地球化学特征

阿尔金茫崖地区基性火山岩属拉斑玄武岩系列,稀土配分模式均为LREE略富集型,Ti/V值为37～62,Th/Ta值接近1,少数大于1.5, Nb/Th值为7.7～16.8,显示了EMORB或OIB的特征。[HT5]ε[HT5\"]Nd(t)值为3.95～4.12,表明其源区来自亏损 地幔,但又有富集地幔物质的加入。茫崖基性火山岩的微量元素特征与冰岛Galapagos群岛Alcedo玄武岩的一致,说明阿尔金茫崖蛇绿岩产出在洋脊环境中,其源区是上地幔亏损物质和与地幔柱有关的富集地幔物质混合作用的结果。

山东半岛两次秋季台风远距离大暴雨的特征分析

利用常规观测资料和NCEP/NCAR FNL资料对“狮子山”（1006）和“天兔”（1319）两个台风造成山东半岛秋季远距离大暴雨的特征进行了诊断分析。结果表明：1）造成两次大暴雨的天气形势和物理量特征有相似,也有差异。2）两个台风的生成源地、移动路径以及强度差别均很大,大暴雨发生在台风登陆后从广东移到广西的过程中,高空北支冷槽、台风倒槽和850 hPa切变线是造成山东半岛大暴雨的主要天气系统。3）台风东侧和副热带高压之间850 hPa偏强东南气流将东海、黄海的水汽源源不断输送到山东半岛并在此辐合;低层辐合、高层辐散和垂直上升运动均利于大暴雨的发生;大暴雨发生前大气处于不稳定大气层结;台风和中纬度系统相互作用形成两层或三层锋区的斜压性特殊结构及高空急流的增强是山东半岛秋季台风远距离大暴雨的重要特征。4）两次大暴雨过程中低空急流特征、锋区斜压性结构特征、不稳定大气层结特征存在较大差异。     

Permian copper–polymetallic mineralization in the southern Great Xing’an Range,Northeast China: the Daolundaba copper–polymetallic deposit example

The Daolundaba Cu–polymetallic deposit is a newly discovered Cu–W–Sn deposit on the western slopes of the southern Great Xing’an Range, and its mineralization was related to an early Permian coarse-grained biotite granite. However, there is little information on the age of formation of the deposit. In this article, we present the results of our investigation into the age of the Daolundaba Cu–polymetallic deposit, which involved the selection of chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite samples for Rb–Sr isochron dating. A Rb–Sr isochron defined by the chalcopyrite samples yielded a Rb–Sr isochron age of 290.0 ± 11 Ma (MSWD = 1.2) with an initial Sr isotopic composition (I_Sr) of 0.71446. The pyrrhotite samples yielded a Rb–Sr isochron age of 283.0 ± 2.6 Ma (MSWD = 1.16) with an initial Sr isotopic composition (I_Sr) of 0.71447. The Rb–Sr isochron age determined from the chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite is 282.7 ± 1.7 Ma (MSWD = 1.13). These results indicate that the Daolundaba Cu–polymetallic deposit formed during the early Permian (282.7–290.0 Ma). The Rb and Sr contents of the chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite range from ~0.1325 to ~3.6810 ppm and from ~0.1219 to ~9.5740 ppm, respectively, and the initial Sr isotope ratios (I_Sr) range from 0.71047 to 0.71869, with an average of 0.714723. These isotopic characteristics indicate the ore-forming minerals of the Daolundaba Cu–polymetallic deposit originated mainly from the crust, but with small amounts of mantle material involved. The copper was derived from the associated magma whereas the W and Sn was derived from the surrounding strata. The Permian mineralization of the Xing’an–Mongolia region occurred in an active continental margin setting during subduction of the Palaeo-Asian oceanic plate beneath the Siberian Plate.
