Influence of the ground profile on the reduction of earthquake motion at the filled man-made islands in the Kobe harbor during the 1995 Hyogoken Nambu earthquake

During the 1995 Hyogoken Nambu earthquake in Kobe, the ground motion at the filled man-made islands in the Kobe harbor was not as severe as that at the mainland. The building damage was also less compared to that on the mainland. It was found by comparative study of earthquake records that the magnitude of acceleration response on the ground surface decreases at the islands as opposed to the mainland. One dimensional effective stress analysis is adopted in this study. Input data has been generated from test results, e.g. the SPT N-value by standard penetration test and shear wave velocity V_s by PS logging. Results obtained by the analyses showed good agreement with the observed records, which is an indication of the suitability of the adopted analysis procedure. From this study, the followings are concluded. By the increase of SPT N-value of the filled layers, liquefaction near ground surface is restrained and damage modes such as ejection of water and soil can be prevented. Since the ground profile at the islands is that considerably soft filled layer and marine clay layers, etc. are present and the thickness of the surface layer is large, the initial natural period of the ground is above 1 s and the natural period is elongated further under the earthquake excitation, which is deemed to be the principal reason for the reduction of the earthquake motion at the ground surface.     

巴林左旗-阿鲁科尔沁旗5.9级地震余震序列精确定位及分布特征

2003年8月16日内蒙古巴林左旗与阿鲁科尔沁旗间发生5．9级地震，使内蒙古东部地震活动再次进入活跃阶段。通过对巴林左旗-阿鲁科尔沁旗5．9级地震余震序列分析表明，序列的空间位置变化不太大，集中发生在较小的区域内，说明该震震源体较小。整个余震序列以NWW向条带分布为主，条带的走向与宏观烈度等值线长轴方向及震源机制B节面方向一致。ML≥3．0余震形成NW和NE两条相互垂直的条带，主震发生在NW条带的北西端。分析余震序列深度剖面图，说明NW向可能为此次地震的主破裂方向。     

Systematic Analysis Method of Shear-Wave Splitting：SAM Software System

In order to make a more effective use of the data from regional digital seismograph networks and to promote the study on shear wave splitting and its application to earthquake stressforecasting, SAM software system, i.e., the software on systematic analysis method of shear wave splitting has been developed. This paper introduces the design aims, system structure,function and characteristics about the SAM software system and shows some graphical interfaces of data input and result output. Lastly, it discusses preliminarily the study of shear wave splitting and its application to earthquake forecasting.     

地震时空丛集程度的度量及震前异常特征初探

从Ｍｏｒｉｓｈｉｔａ空间丛集度出发，定义出其时间丛集度的表达式，并计算了几次大震前空间丛集度Ｊｓ和时间丛集度Ｊｔ的时间扫描曲线。从计算结果分析，无论是空间丛集度Ｊｓ还是时间丛集度Ｊｔ在大震发生前大都会出现高值异常。将Ｊｓ和Ｊｔ做了对比，从而对Ｍｏｒｉｓｈｉｔａ指数的含义进行了探讨，分析了各自的优缺点。结果表明，Ｊｓ和Ｊｔ可以做为一项地震活动性指标引入到地震预报中来

安徽省属饮用天然矿泉水资源比较丰富的省份之一，产地多，但类型较为单一。在已通过鉴定的７４处矿泉水中，以偏硅酸锶型天然矿泉水最为普遍，占矿泉水总数的７６％，次有溴碘型天然矿泉水，开发条件优越，开发前景良好，其形成和分布具有明显的规律性。本文试图通过矿泉水赋存的地质环境、水化学特征和形成条件等的综合分析，进而划分饮用天然矿泉水的成因类型．并在勘查研究和开发利用方面提出有关意见和建议。     

滑坡危险性分析中地震动的概率性估算及地震滑坡的危险性评判

论述了滑坡危险性分析中如何科学地估算地震力的问题。主要思路概括为：将滑坡体视为一个完整体系的结构物（或震动对象）,将滑坡场点视为一个工程场点,利用比较成熟的地震危险性概率分析方法计算滑坡体未来若干年内可能遭遇的不同超越概率水平下的地震峰值加速度,这种不确定性的地震加速度是由地震预报的不确定性带入的,由此计算地震力和惯性力。最后,对地震触发滑坡的机理展开讨论。

Current and Future Applications of 3-D Global Earth-Ionosphere Models Based on the Full-Vector Maxwell’s Equations FDTD Method

Advances in computing technologies in recent decades have provided a means of generating and performing highly sophisticated computational simulations of electromagnetic phenomena. In particular, just after the turn of the twenty-first century, improvements to computing infrastructures provided for the first time the opportunity to conduct advanced, high-resolution three-dimensional full-vector Maxwell’s equations investigations of electromagnetic propagation throughout the global Earth-ionosphere spherical volume. These models, based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, are capable of including such details as the Earth’s topography and bathymetry, as well as arbitrary horizontal/vertical geometrical and electrical inhomogeneities and anisotropies of the ionosphere, lithosphere, and oceans. Studies at this level of detail simply are not achievable using analytical methods. The goal of this paper is to provide an historical overview and future prospectus of global FDTD computational research for both natural and man-made electromagnetic phenomena around the world. Current and future applications of global FDTD models relating to lightning sources and radiation, Schumann resonances, hypothesized earthquake precursors, remote sensing, and space weather are discussed.
