Effects of aperture on Marchenko focussing functions and their radiation behaviour at depth

A focussing function is a specially constructed field that focusses on to a purely downgoing pulse at a specified subsurface position upon injection into the medium. Such focussing functions are key ingredients in the Marchenko method and in its applications such as retrieving Green's functions, redatuming, imaging with multiples and synthesizing the response of virtual sources/receiver arrays at depth. In this study, we show how the focussing function and its corresponding focussed response at a specified subsurface position are heavily influenced by the aperture of the source/receiver array at the surface. We describe such effects by considering focussing functions in the context of time-domain imaging, offering explicit connections between time processing and Marchenko focussing. In particular, we show that the focussed response radiates in the direction perpendicular to the line drawn from the centre of the surface data array aperture to the focussed position in the time-imaging domain, that is, in time-migration coordinates. The corresponding direction in the Cartesian domain follows from the sum (superposition) of the time-domain direction and the directional change due to time-to-depth conversion. Therefore, the result from this study provides a better understanding of focussing functions and has implications in applications such as the construction of amplitude-preserving redatuming and imaging, where the directional dependence of the focussed response plays a key role in controlling amplitude distortions.     

Uncertainty in stage–discharge rating curves: application to Australian Hydrologic Reference Stations data

The purpose of this paper is to determine uncertainty in the gauged range of the stage–gauged discharge relationship for 622 rating curves from 171 Australian Bureau of Meteorology Hydrologic Reference streamgauging Stations (HRS). Water agencies use many methods to establish rating curves. Here we adopt a consistent method across all stations and develop rating curves based on Chebyshev polynomials, and estimate uncertainties from standard regression errors in which residuals from the polynomials are adjusted to ensure they are homoscedastic and normally distributed. Uncertainty in input water level is also taken into account. The median uncertainties in mean response of the available gauged discharge relationship at median daily discharges for the HRS dataset range from +4.5 to ?4.2% (95% confidence band) and for individual gaugings from +29 to ?22% incorporating a water level uncertainty of ±4 mm. The uncertainties estimated are consistent with values estimated in Australia and elsewhere.     

华北克拉通西部块体北缘及邻区地壳厚度与泊松比分布特征

收集了2010—2011年华北克拉通西部块体北缘及邻区布设的36个流动地震台和2009—2016年内蒙古自治区数字地震台网17个宽频带固定地震台站的远震事件波形数据, 采用接收函数H-κ算法分析获得了53个基岩台站下方的地壳厚度和泊松比结果。 此外, 结合已有的81个台站的研究成果, 给出华北克拉通西部块体北缘及邻区地壳厚度与泊松比分布特征。 综合分析认为, 研究区地壳厚度在整体上呈现自东向西渐变的特征, 最厚的地方出现在华北克拉通西端的阿拉善地块(～48.7±3.0 km)。 研究区平均泊松比为0.27, 泊松比高值异常出现在河套断陷带, 意味着可能具有较高的地壳温度或者存在壳内部分熔融。 研究区内不同构造单元呈现出显著的地壳厚度和泊松比分布特征的差异性, 意味着在华北克拉通构造演化过程中, 不同地区经历了不同的地壳改造过程。     

用改进的经验格林函数方法模拟唐山地震动

建筑物的抗震设防需要尽可能地掌握未来大地震强震动记录信息,但大地震强震动记录的匮乏阻碍了抗震设防实践的发展。经验格林函数方法作为模拟地震动的主要方法,可以提供可靠的大地震强震动记录,但也存在着许多问题,如缺乏对大地震断层滑动分布不均匀的描述、用经验确定小震数目、模拟方法受到大小地震相似条件的限制等。文中对上述经验格林函数方法存在的问题进行了研究,改进的经验格林函数方法,有效地解决了上述问题。并用其对唐山大地震进行了模拟,并把模拟的地震动时程和反应谱与实际记录相比较,发现用改进方法模拟的地震动加速度反应谱比用未改进方法模拟结果更接近实际的地震动记录加速度反应谱。由此说明改进的经验格林函数可更准确的模拟地震动。     

Time-variant fragility analysis of the bridge system considering time-varying dependence among typical component seismic demands

This paper presents a copula technique to develop time-variant seismic fragility curves for corroded bridges at the system level and considers the realistic time-varying dependence among component seismic demands. Based on material deterioration mechanisms and incremental dynamic analysis, the time-evolving seismic demands of components were obtained in the form of marginal probability distributions. The time-varying dependences among bridge components were then captured with the best fitting copula function, which was selected from the commonly used copula classes by the empirical distribution based analysis method. The system time-variant fragility curves at different damage states were developed and the effects of time-varying dependences among components on the bridge system fragility were investigated. The results indicate the time-varying dependence among components significantly affects the time-variant fragility of the bridge system. The copula technique captures the nonlinear dependence among component seismic demands accurately and easily by separating the marginal distributions and the dependence among them.     

利用接收函数研究程海断裂带莫霍面深度和地壳内S波速度结构特征

利用程海断裂带附近27个数字地震台站远震波形资料,提取每一个台站的接收函数,计算出各台站莫霍面深度同时利用时间域线性反演方法,获得了各个台站下方的横波速度。结果显示:程海断裂带莫霍面深度从南部42km增至北部的54km,南部和北部莫霍面深度有明显的不同。从程海断裂带下方不同深度S波速度剖面可以看出,宾川及其北东部地区中下地壳存在明显的低速层,此低速层可能与还没有固结的热物质有关。而永胜南部地区,地壳中S波速度垂直变化剧烈,低速异常高速异常交替丛生,这可能是此区地震频发的主要原因。同时,本文对宽频带地震仪和短周期地震仪得到的接收函数进行了初步的对比分析。

基于震灾图像维度分析下景观带毁损程度评估的探讨

地震灾害是所有自然灾害中破坏程度最为严重的灾害之一,当景观带遭到地震破坏时,景观带中的规则建筑结构发生改变,景观带毁损程度评估是城市避震减灾体系研究的重点内容,因此对景观带中规则建筑毁损程度研究有重要意义。为深入探讨景观带毁损程度评估的问题,基于震灾图像维度分析下对景观带毁损程度的评估方法进行尝试。根据规则建筑震灾图像质量,按图像维度的变化特征对规则建筑结构的破碎程度进行划分,获取破碎概率分布,根据破碎概率划分最佳阈值,采用分数维方法提取图像维度特征,根据提取到的规则建筑震灾图像维度特征,将毁损的规则建筑空间自相关程度转换成正态分布曲线,进而构建评估模型对规则建筑毁损程度进行评估。针对实例分析,实现基于震灾图像维度分析下景观带毁损程度评估方法并进行了探讨。     

层状饱和场地中圆柱形基础的阻抗函数

本文利用间接边界元法,建立层状饱和场地中三维土-基础动力相互作用模型,研究了孔隙中流体的存在、场地动力特性和圆柱形基础的高度对基础阻抗函数的影响。数值结果表明,孔隙中流体的存在对基础阻抗函数有明显的影响,尤其是水平和竖向分量;场地动力特性也对基础阻抗函数有明显的影响,层状饱和场地中阻抗函数围绕相应均匀半空间结果振荡,且基岩与土层刚度比越大或土层厚度越小,振荡的幅度越大,土层厚度越小,振荡的周期越小;另外,基础高度也对阻抗函数有明显的影响,随基础高度增大,阻抗函数逐渐增大。     

钢筋-沥青隔震层非线性震动特性研究

为了研究钢筋-沥青隔震层的材料与几何非线性震动特性,对钢筋-沥青隔震结构进行了振动台试验,分析了结构在不同加速度幅值输入时的隔震性能。同时,在钢材的应力-应变关系基础上,考虑构件竖向力的二次矩效应,提出了钢筋-沥青隔震层骨架曲线的计算方法,并结合双线型恢复力模型的滞回规则,建立了相应的恢复力模型。利用建立的恢复力模型,编制程序进行了弹塑性时程分析,并与试验结果作对比。结果表明:当钢筋-沥青隔震层的受力钢筋进入弹塑性阶段时,隔震层能够吸收大部分地震能量,显著降低上部结构的地震反应;弹塑性时程分析结果与试验结果吻合较好,由此建立的恢复力模型准确并且适用,可为钢筋-沥青隔震层的工程设计与非线性地震反应分析提供参考。
