Evaluation of the seismic performance of a three‐story ordinary moment‐resisting concrete frame

This study focuses on the seismic performance of Ordinary Moment‐Resisting Concrete Frames (OMRCF) designed only for gravity loads. For this purpose, a 3‐story OMRCF was designed in compliance with the minimum design requirements in the American Concrete Institute Building Code ACI 318 (1999). This model frame was a regular structure with flexure‐dominated response. A 1/3‐scale 3‐story model was constructed and tested under quasi‐static reversed cyclic lateral loading. The overall behavior of the OMRCF was quite stable without abrupt strength degradation. The measured base shear strength was larger than the design base shear force for seismic zones 1, 2A and 2B calculated using UBC 1997. Moreover, this study used the capacity spectrum method to evaluate the seismic performance of the frame. The capacity curve was obtained from the experimental results for the specimen and the demand curve was established using the earthquake ground motions recorded at various stations with different soil conditions. Evaluation of the test results shows that the 3‐story OMRCF can resist design seismic loads of zones 1, 2A, 2B, 3 and 4 with soil types S_A and S_B . For soil type S_C , the specimen was satisfactory in seismic zones 1, 2A, 2B and 3. For soil type S_D , the OMRCF was only satisfactory for seismic zones 1 and 2A.

Quasi-Wavelet Model of Von Kármán Spectrum of Turbulent Velocity Fluctuations

The von Kármán spectra of turbulent temperature andvelocity fluctuations have been widely used in the literature on turbulenceand electromagnetic, seismic, and acoustic wave propagation in random media.In this paper we provide a phenomenological motivation for the vonKármán velocity spectrum in terms of the quasi-wavelet model ofturbulence developed recently. In this model, turbulence is represented as asuperposition of self-similar localized eddies of many different scales. Wefind a functional form for these eddies that yields the von Kármán velocity spectrum exactly. We also show that other eddy functions producevelocity spectra that have the same general form as the von Kármán spectrum, and we consider possible quasi-wavelet representations of the`Kansas' spectrum and the `-1' spectrum. We also present asystematic determination, based on turbulence similarity theories, of theparameters of the von Kármán spectra of temperature and velocityfluctuations in an unstable atmospheric boundary layer.

以内蒙古锡林河流域典型草原为研究对象,在群落调查和光谱观测数据的基础上,引入主成分分析方法(PCA)研究了与草场健康有关的各生物参数间关系,提出一种草场健康状况监测的新方法:(1)从包含12个反映群落各方面信息的变量中提取出3个有特定生态学意义的主成分,并进一步对其进行分析组合,得出一个能比较敏感、全面反映群落健康状况的新指标—草场健康指数(GHI);其意义在于:它不仅可以反映草场的生物量信息,而且可以反映群落的结构组成信息。(2)从6波段的植被光谱反射数据中提取出2个主成分:可见光因子和红外光因子,它们可以较好反映植被信息。(3)表征群落总量、放牧退化的主成分和GHI与植被光谱反射值有相当的相关性,由此得到GHI与可见光、红外光因子的回归模型。此模型可利用植被光谱较好地反映草场健康状况。

Peak displacement demand of small to moderate magnitude earthquakes in stable continental regions

A theoretical fault‐slip model has been developed for predicting the notional peak displacement demand (PDD) of earthquakes based on a limiting natural period of 5 s, for application in stable continental regions (SCRs). The developed theoretical expression is simple and robust. Importantly, it envelops predictions arising from a number of existing empirical and seismological (stochastic) models included in the comparison. The notional PDD prediction has been made initially for hard rock crustal conditions and at a reference source–site distance of 30 km. Factors have accordingly been introduced to correct for different distances and geological conditions in completing the PDD prediction model. Assuming displacement‐controlled behaviour, the predicted notional PDD may be compared with the displacement capacity of a structure, or component, for purposes of seismic stability assessment.

he dependence of response spectrum on the tectonic ambient shear stress field

It has been analyzed the influence of the tectonic ambient shear stress value on response spectrum based on the previous theory. Based on the prediction equation BJF94 presented by the famous American researchers, CLB20, a new prediction formula is proposed by us, where it is introduced the influence of tectonic ambient shear stress value on response spectrum. BJF94 is the prediction equation, which mainly depends on strong ground motion data from western USA, while the prediction equation SEA99 is based on the strong ground motion data from extensional region all over the world. Comparing these two prediction equations in detail, it is found that after BJF94's prediction value lg(Y) minus 0.16 logarithmic units, the value is very close to SEA99's one. This case demonstrates that lg(Y) in extensional region is smaller; the differences of prediction equation are mainly owe to the differences of tectonic ambient shear stress value. If the factor of tectonic ambient shear stress value is included into the prediction equation, and the magnitude is used seismic moment magnitude to express, which is universal used around the world, and the distance is used the distance of fault project, which commonly used by many people, then regional differences of prediction equation will become much less, even vanish, and it can be constructed the universal prediction equation proper to all over the world. The error in the earthquake-resistant design in China will be small if we directly use the results of response spectrum of USA (e.g. BJF94 or SEA99).     

西藏高原地形扰动对其降水分布影响的研究

利用离散谱空间变换中谱能不变性约束下的谱分析方法和引进相对地形高程(地形扰动)概念,研究了西藏高原地形强迫对该区降水分布的影响机制。研究表明,在相对最大降水高度之下,所谓地形-降水分布剖面一致性(即降水分布曲线相似于地形起伏曲线,雨峰雨谷和山峰山谷基本一一对应)的经典结论在西藏高原不能完全满足。频谱空间中的地形-降水锁相关系能够更本质地反映出地形性降水分布的物理特征。揭示出,两种不同的地形-降水锁相关系即分别对应西藏高原的两种地形-降水分布形态,即雨峰雨谷和山峰山谷基本一一对应的共振分布型;降水随地形增高或增或减的漂移分布型。
