Effect of soil interaction on the performance of liquid column dampers for seismic applications

The effects of soil–structure interaction (SSI) while designing the liquid column damper (LCD) for seismic vibration control of structures have been presented in this study. The formulation for the input–output relation of a flexible‐base structure with attached LCD has been presented. The superstructure has been modelled by a single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) system. The non‐linearity in the orifice damping of the LCD has been replaced by equivalent linear viscous damping by using equivalent linearization technique. The force–deformation relationships and damping characteristics of the foundation have been described by complex valued impedance functions. Through a numerical stochastic study in the frequency domain, the various aspects of SSI on the functioning of the LCD have been illustrated. A simpler approach for studying the LCD performance considering SSI, using an equivalent SDOF model for the soil–structure system available in literature by Wolf (Dynamic Soil–Structure Interaction. International Series in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. Prentice‐Hall: Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1985) has also been presented. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

试论多种水源的联合运用 ——以西安市为例

多种水源的联合运用是缓解乃至解决城市水荒的必然选择。运用动态规划方法，对西安市多种水源的联合供水进行了水量调配演算，得出在一般水文干旱年和特别水文干旱年可分别获得城市所需水量，并且调出水区基本不受影响，西安市地下水在多数年份得到涵养。     

DELIMITING THE PHYSICAL CITY: DISPARITIES BETWEEN VARIOUS METHODS OF CALCULATING POPULATION DENSITIES*

The legal city and the urbanized area fail to depict accurately the physical area of urban development and therefore prevent an accurate calculation of population densities. When underbounding occurs, densities tend to be unrealistically high and with overbounding they are low. Delimitations made by air photo interpretation demonstrate that the physical city, measured on a 21/2 acre scale of generalization, provides a more accurate basis for calculating population densities of urban areas than either the legal city or urbanized area because the bounding problems are eliminated.     

贺兰山群变质杂岩中的变余动力变质岩

贺兰山群变质杂岩形成于晚太古代,遭受过多期变质和变形的改造,其中发育了不同期次和层次的动力变质岩。变余韧性剪切带内发育了条带状片麻岩和变粒岩,相伴有变余鞘褶皱和构造透镜体,变余韧性剪切带的变形发生在较低的温度、压力条件下,地壳加厚作用的初期。变余糜棱岩貌似条带状片麻岩,但在青石中保留了早期石英拔丝构造和加粗的动态重结晶长石集合体。糜棱岩化作用的温度在550℃以上,变形后沿面理形成了饼状或椭圆状青石,变晶时温度近600℃,压力近300MPa。
