地震反应谱初探

在计算地震荷载时,计算的依据是常规反应谱理论,然而,当质点间出现刚体移动时,用常规反应谱理论计算会出现奇异点.如利用相对加速度进行计算,将常规反应谱理论进行修正,所得结论将更加安全,又弥补了常规反应谱的不足.

通过震害预测研究,探明地震地质灾害源,应用地理信息系统掌握地震地质灾害源空问分布情况,分析其对工程环境的影响范围和影响程度,有助于政府制定防震减灾规划和城市建设与改造。针对广州市部分城区的地震地质灾害源、建筑物、生命线工程、地震次生灾害源的分布情况,应用基于GIS平台的防震减灾信息管理与地震应急辅助决策系统,分析了该区内地震地质灾害破坏对建筑物、生命线工程和地震次生灾害源的影响。结果表明,城市中的建筑物、生命线工程和地震次生灾害源不同程度地受到地震地质灾害的影响。     

2004年9月17日阳江4.9级地震序列的一些特征

2004年9月17日阳江M4．9级地震是1969年阳江M6．4级地震发生后至今震级最大的余震之一,该震中区及附近1970年以来至2004年底的九千余次ML1级以上的地震月频次的统计结果显示,本地4．5级以上地震震前短临时段内,ML1．0级以上小震活动水平增强不明显,但2004年与1986年的地震临震前,ML0．1级以上的微震次数却异常升高;本地4．5级以上地震前3个月至1年左右,b值均处于0．55左右的低值状态。衰减系数日值的计算均大于1,显示本地4．5级以上地震的余震衰减都很快,在较短时间内呈现出孤立型较强的特点。本次4．9级地震作出的震源机制解显示为走滑型,与1969年主震的情况较为类似。     

地倾斜异常的一个特征及其应用

地倾斜与孕震地点存在一定的关系, 即强震前地倾斜的空间分布存在一定的有序性。 基于这一结果对张北地震前的地倾斜方向分布进行了研究, 显示张北地震前地倾斜方向确有指向或背向震中的趋势。 文中探讨了确定孕震区的方法, 利用截止到2004年8月的资料, 对华北、 新疆和川滇地区的地倾斜方向进行了研究。 在华北地区目前地倾斜方向线相交的区域有京津唐地区和山西带, 覆盖面积较大且较为分散, 难以勾画出显著的异常区。 在新疆和川滇地区也未发现类似张北地震前地倾斜方向线集中到同一区域的现象, 故认为截止到2004年8月, 上述区域不具备强震前地倾斜异常空间配套分布的特征。

Earthquake resistant construction techniques and materials on Byzantine monuments in Kiev

The study of the behaviour of historic buildings that have suffered from earthquakes has become a valuable tool for the understanding of earthquake resistant construction techniques and materials. Byzantine monuments of the 11–13th century in Kiev have been studied to provide insights into their effective dynamic properties facing severe earthquake history in the area. The recessed brickworks according to the “concealed course” construction technique of the St. Sophia Cathedral (11th century), the Church of St. Michael in the Vydubytskyi Monastery (11th century), the Tithe Church of the Assumption of the Virgin (10th century) and the Cathedral of Assumption of the Virgin (11th century) in the Monastery of the Caves (Pecherskyi monastery) in Kiev were studied and the material properties of bricks and lime mortars with ceramic fill were investigated (mechanical strength tests, mineralogical, chemical and microstructural analysis). The results show major similarities with those of the Byzantine monuments in Istanbul (Theodosian Walls and Hagia Sophia — 6–11th century construction phases), giving evidence of earthquake resistant construction techniques and materials allowing for continuous stresses and strains. Hence, didactics on proper restoration techniques and materials are deduced aiming at their present safety in the face of future earthquakes.     

A correlation between slope failures and accelerometric parameters: the 26 September 1997 earthquake (Umbria–Marche, Italy)

After the occurrence of the 26 September 1997 earthquake in Umbria–Marche an extensive survey was performed to individuate surface effects induced by the ground motion. Several types of effects occurred on bedrock, calcareous debris and sandy-clay deposits. Shallow soil slides and dry debris slides were mapped by field survey and aerial photograph interpretation in the epicentral area close to Nocera Umbra. This gave the opportunity for testing the prediction maps that can be obtained with the use of empirical laws, proposed by several authors, based on a simple method (Geotechnique 15(2) (1965) 139). Accelerometric records from the permanent and mobile seismic network of the Seismic Survey of Italy have been processed and interpolated to obtain strong ground motion parameters at each site, e.g. Peak Ground Acceleration, Spectral Intensity, Arias Intensity, etc. The different predictions have been tested with the real landslide data to verify their performances. Some of the proposed methods explain quite well the behaviour of slopes during the application of a time history and can therefore be employed for future landslide hazard zonation.     

Hazard-consistent earthquake scenarios

Earthquake-resistant design and seismic analysis often require the earthquake action to be represented in the form of acceleration time-histories. Real accelerograms can be selected based on matching an earthquake scenario, defined by magnitude and distance, and scaled if necessary. The scaled accelerograms should reflect the hazard in terms of the parameters that characterise the inelastic demand on structures, including response spectral ordinates, duration and energy content. In order to maintain realistic ground motions, the scaling factors should not differ greatly from unity. It is found that in many cases, where the hazard is influenced by more than one seismic source, it is impossible to define a single earthquake scenario that is compatible with the results of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment. Even if a hazard-consistent scenario can be defined, there are difficulties encountered in using the results to select and scale real accelerograms.
