Paleomagnetic dating of the Cenjiawan Paleolithic site in the Nihewan Basin, northern China

It draws much attention of scientists how early hu- mans occupy and adapt to the rigorous climate and environment at high northern latitudes in East Asia after they stepped out of Africa, passed West Asia and finally arrived in East Asia[1-4]. Reliable age determi- nations of Paleolithic sites from northeastern Asia not only help to find out the earliest occupation of early humans in this region, but also relate to the founda- tion of the overall framework of human origin and migration[1-8]…     

Seismic vulnerability estimation of the building considering seismic environment and local site condition

Introduction The estimation of damage probability distribution among different damage states of rein-forced concrete buildings is a key component of earthquake loss estimation for modern city or a group of cities. With the development of city, the reinforced concrete buildings are major compo-nent parts of modern cities. Vulnerability estimates for these kinds of buildings are of importance to those responsible for civil protection, relief, and emergency services to enable adequate contin-genc…     

丘陵山区农村宅基地选址地质灾害防范工作方法研究

目前对于农村分散宅基地的地质灾害防范问题尚未形成一套便于有效操作的管理办法,尤其是对于地处丘陵山区的地区而言,由于易发区覆盖面广,地质灾害点密度大,因而涉及的问题更多。文章主要针对丘陵、山区的农村宅基地选址、审批过程中的地质灾害防范工作做出评述,同时对评价管理的工作程序进行探讨。针对在易发区内相对合理用地的地质灾害防范问题,对丘陵、山区农村宅基地审批过程中涉及的易发区地质灾害防范及危险性评估(价)的工作,应结合面临的形势、当地具体条件及工作的可操作性做相应的调整。通过60个点(地块)的普遍样本及30个点的典型样本的调查及归纳,通过对各种类型宅基地有可能出现的不良地质现象应对措施的制定,笔者认为可通过7种途径进行丘陵、山区农村宅基地选址的地质灾害防范工作。     

基于旅游影响感知的丽江古城居民类型划分

快速的旅游发展对旅游地居民产生了一定的影响。利用实证研究和统计分析的方法，作者对世界遗产地丽江古城居民就旅游影响的感知与态度进行了实地调查，采用快速聚类法将旅游地居民被调查居民被分为一定程度的憎恨者、积极的支持者和谨慎的支持者三种类型。居民中年长者、本地出生者多为一定程度的憎恨者；与旅游联系少、对旅游业依赖小的居民多为一定程度的憎恨者和谨慎的支持者；而在职的、与旅游业联系紧密、依赖大的居民多为积极的支持者。     

基坑形状与基坑稳定性关系的实测与分析

在基坑监测实践中发现了基坑平面形状与基坑稳定性的内在联系,给出了椭圆形基坑、圆形基坑、矩形基坑的应力与位移监测数据,以实测数据为依据,指出了类圆形基坑的优越性,得出了类圆形基坑承载能力与坑壁稳定性优于矩形基坑的结论,利用三维有限差分理论分析了类圆形基坑和矩形基坑的承载能力与坑壁稳定性,介绍了基坑监测采用的方法和监测过程。

Choosing a municipal landfill site by analytic network process

In this study, analytic network process (ANP), one of the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) tools has been used to choose one of the four alternative landfill sites for the city of Eskisehir, Turkey. For this purpose, Super Decision Software has been used and benefit opportunity cost and risk (BOCR) analysis has been done to apply ANP. In BOCR analysis, each alternative site has been evaluated in terms of its benefits, costs and risks; the opportunity cluster has been examined under the benefit cluster. In this context, technical, economical and social assessments have been done for the site selection of sanitary landfill. Also, results have been compared with analytic hierarchy process (AHP) which is another MCDM technique used in the study conducted before. Finally, the current site has been determined as the most appropriate site in both methods. These methods have not been commonly used in the discipline of environmental engineering but it is believed to be an important contribution for decision makers.     

Estimation of seismic spectral acceleration in Peninsular India

Peninsular India (PI), which lies south of 24°N latitude, has experienced several devastating earthquakes in the past. However, very few strong motion records are available for developing attenuation relations for ground acceleration, required by engineers to arrive at rational design response spectra for construction sites and cities in PI. Based on a well-known seismological model, the present paper statistically simulates ground motion in PI to arrive at an empirical relation for estimating 5% damped response spectra, as a function of magnitude and source to site distance, covering bedrock and soil conditions. The standard error in the proposed relationship is reported as a function of the frequency, for further use of the results in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis.     

二维复杂工程场址设计地震动的修正分析方法

地震安全性评价中工程场地设计地震动通常采用一维等效线性化水平成层的分析模型，但对一些较复杂的场地条件，如蓄能电站所处场地，仅考虑一维场地是不够的，而需考虑二维场地的影响。常规采用的二维有限元很难考虑诸多因素，为工程设计带来了很大的困难。提出了可考虑二维复杂工程场地影响的设计地震动的修正分析方法和简化方法，该方法还可考虑非线性对场地的影响及吸能边界等因素，而且计算简单，并易于同常用的一维等效线性化方法结合。实例分析结果合理，对工程场地地震动的确定具有重要意义。     

液化大变形条件下地铁车站结构动力反应大型振动台试验研究

本文对浅埋于可液化南京细砂地基中的地铁车站结构的大型振动台试验结果进行了进一步的整理,主要分析了地铁车站结构侧向地基土发生液化大变形时车站结构的应变反应、加速度反应和土与结构侧墙之间接触面的动土压力反应,结果表明:地铁车站结构侧向土体发生液化大变形时,地基土的大变形造成地铁车站结构中柱和侧墙都发生较大的不可恢复的残余变形;在侧墙底部记录的动土压力反应幅值明显比中部和顶部处记录的值要大,中板处的峰值加速度都比底板处的对应值要大。
