水平及竖向地震共同作用下双线隧道的响应分析

基于有效的土-结相互作用有限元数值模拟方法,利用有限元软件ABAQUS对水平及竖向地震共同作用下双线盾构隧道的地震响应进行分析研究。地震动输入选取近场地震Loma、ChiChi、Mammoth和WoLong的基岩水平及竖向加速度时程记录。结果表明,不同近场地震记录对隧道结构的作用不同,隧道的地震反应与场地性质及地震动的频谱特性密切相关。对比隧道在水平及竖向地震动共同作用下的响应与单向水平地震动作用下的响应,发现隧道的最大地震附加内力及其分布均发生较大的变化,在隧道结构抗震设计中需引起重视。另外,分析中还考虑了在双向地震动共同作用下,隧道间距、土-结接触面的摩擦系数、土-结相对刚度、输入的地震记录和竖向地震动相对强度对隧道地震响应的影响等,研究结果对隧道工程的抗震设计具有一定的参考价值。

Empirical approaches in prediction of reservoir sediment distribution——An experience of 57 reservoirs in the USA and India

An accurate prediction of sediment distribution may minimize economic losses through proper and timely planning of the functional activities of a reservoir.This study assesses different temporal and spatial factors that affect for sediment deposition in a reservoir and its distribution.This study also focuses on evaluation of two popular distribution prediction methodologies,Area Increment and Empirical Area Reduction,based on experience with sediment distribution in 57 reservoirs in the USA and India.A non-iterative processed empirical distribution model(NPEDM) and a linear regression trend model(LRTM) are proposed to predict sediment distribution.Silt contributing area and inflow entering a reservoir are found to be the most significant factors affecting in reservoir sediment deposition.Compared to the Empirical Area Reduction method,the Area Increment method provided better prediction.The reservoir classification approach and empirical design distribution type curves given by Borland and Miller(1960) are found to be rational.Shape factor values for different periods indicate that reservoir shape(type) changes with time.Thus,long term prediction is not desirable in Type-Ⅱ Ⅲ reservoirs using the Empirical Area Reduction method.Newly developed the NPEDM shows reasonably good prediction of sediment distribution.The NPEDM is very easy to apply and can be used in any reservoir of any size.Extrapolation of the trend of sediment distribution obtained from the LRTM indicates an accurate short term prediction in a few reservoirs as causes of temporal and spatial variations of sediment distribution including the factors of uncertainties of sediment deposition are implicit within the methodology.     

四万年以来南海西北次海盆地磁场古强度演化及其地球动力学意义

海洋沉积物能够记录较为连续的古地磁信息.对沉积物记录的天然剩磁(NRM)进行归一化处理,可以构建过去较为连续的地磁场相对古强度(RPI)信息,这对于研究地磁场演变与全球记录对比具有重要的科学意义.本文以南海西北次海盆地区L07岩芯作为研究对象,利用等温剩磁(IRM)作为NRM的归一化参数,构建了南海西北次海盆地区37ka以来的RPI曲线.实验结果显示,L07岩芯中载磁矿物的成分较为单一,以单畴(SD)-细粒准单畴(PSD)低矫顽力磁铁矿为主,能够作为古强度记录的载体.此外,在11.5ka处RPI出现峰值.进一步结合东亚地区鄂霍茨克海岩芯的RPI记录以及中国黄土10Be的丰度变化,我们认为该RPI峰值是由于地球非偶极子场影响所致.这说明东亚正磁异常的影响范围可以达到中国南海等中低纬度地区,这为理解东亚地区磁场演化提供了新证据,同时也为该区千年尺度RPI记录变化特征提供了新机制.     

大地测量观测和相对海平面联合约束的冰川均衡调整模型

利用大地测量和历史相对海平面变化数据,结合地震剪切波层析模型,联合确定了新的末次冰期冰川均衡调整（GIA）模型,其中地幔黏滞度不仅沿径向而且沿横向变化.研究思路是,先尝试性地选择比例系数β,利用与地震剪切波速异常的线性关系,计算地幔黏滞度横向扰动,并与横向均匀的黏滞度参考模型叠加给出3D地幔黏滞度模型;再利用耦合拉普拉斯方程的有限元法算法进行GIA预测;然后,重复该过程,直到预测与观测之间的吻合满意为止.主要结论有：（1）给出了横向非均匀的地幔黏滞度模型（RF3L20(β=0.4)）,发现了黏滞度显著的横向非均匀性和其对GIA预测的显著影响,指出横向非均匀不完全是由热效应引起的,可能还与化学组分等其他因素有关,该模型可用于地幔动力学研究.（2）给出了全球现今多种GIA预测速率,可为板块运动、陆地水储量、海水质量变化和冰川冰雪质量非平衡监测提供重要的改正.     

南极冰盖的形成与消融对全球大地水准面与海面的影响

采用球函数表征了南极冰川覆盖的高度,并运用位理论与地壳均衡观念,研究了南极冰盖形成、消融对大地水准面与相对海面的影响。结果表明,冰盖形成后的大地水难面发生了明显变化,在南极为＋115m,在南纬25°带上为－37m,在北极为＋8m;若地壳为弹性固体而地幔为流体,设地慢密度为3270kg／m3,则在冰川消融、地壳均衡调整后的沿海大陆相对海面的变化仅为2．8m。     

Preliminary results on a near-real-time rock slope damage monitoring system based on relative velocity changes following the September 5, 2022 MS 6.8 Luding,China earthquake

Relative seismic velocity change (dv/v) is important for monitoring changes in subsurface material properties and evaluating earthquake-induced rock slope damage in a geological disaster-prone region. In this paper, we present a rapid damage assessment on three slow-moving rock slopes by measuring dv/v decrease caused by the 2022 ?M_S 6.8 Luding earthquake in Southwest China. By applying the stretching method to the cross-correlated seismic wavefields between sensors installed on each slope, we obtain earthquake-induced dv/v decreases of ～2.1%, ～0.5%, and ～0.2% on three slopes at distances ranging from ～86 to ～370 ?km to the epicenter, respectively. Moreover, based on seismic data recorded by 16 sensors deployed on the rock slope at a distance of ～370 ?km away from the epicenter, a localized dv/v decease region was observed at the crest of the slope by calculating the spatial dv/v images before and after the earthquake. We also derive an empirical in situ stress sensitivity of ?7.29?10^?8/Pa by relating the dv/v change to the measured peak dynamic stresses. Our results indicate that a rapid dv/v assessment not only can help facilitate on-site emergency response to earthquake-induced secondary geological disasters but also can provide a better understanding of the subsurface geological risks under diverse seismic loadings.     

Quantitative SIMS analysis of trace Au in pyrite using the infinite velocity (IV) method

The quantitative analysis of trace concentrations of Au in pyrite using a new procedure of SIMS quantification is investigated. Analysis of an Au implanted pyrite standard demonstrates the infinite velocity (IV) method as a viable procedure for evaluation of trace concentrations of Au in pyrite. Comparison of naturally occurring trace concentrations of Au in pyrite using standard-derived relative sensitivity factor (RSF) and IV quantification methods is shown as a means of evaluating the chemical environments in which Au is found in pyrite.     

区域闪电活动对地面相对湿度的响应

全球闪电活动表现出明显的地域差异,温度和湿度是造成这种差异的基本气象因素.本文利用美国全球水资源和气候中心提供的1995～2002年全球闪电资料和NCEP气象再分析资料,研究了区域闪电密度对地面相对湿度(RH)的响应.发现在平均相对湿度RH<72%的经度带里闪电密度与RH呈正相关.而在RH>73%的经度带里,闪电密度与RH呈负相关;在RH>74%的赤道地区闪电活动与RH呈负相关, 而在RH<72%的中高纬地区闪电密度与RH呈正相关.得到结论：当地面相对湿度过大时,相对湿度的增加不利于闪电活动的发生;而当相对湿度较小时,相对湿度的增加有利于闪电活动的发生.地面相对湿度的临界值域约为72%～74%.此结论在不同经、纬度的几个典型区域均得到了验证,并探讨了过大的相对湿度抑制闪电活动发生的可能原因.     

末次冰期以来雷州半岛北部C3/C4植物相对丰度变化及其驱动因素

末次冰期以来陆地植被中C₃/C₄植物相对丰度变化及其驱动因素是当前古生态古气候研究中的重要内容.本文利用雷州半岛北部下录和屋山两处泥炭沉积有机碳同位素组成(δ¹³C_org)重建了该区域末次冰期以来C₃/C₄植物相对丰度演化历史,并探讨了其可能的驱动因素.结果表明,在MIS-3阶段初期,屋山地区的植被以C₃和C₄混合植被为主,在此后的MIS-3阶段绝大部分时期,下录和屋山地区的植被主要为C₃植被,在个别时段C₄植物也曾一度有所扩张;在MIS-2阶段,下录地区C₃植物含量显著降低,区域植被以C₄植物为主;在全新世初期,下录地区的C₃植物含量呈现出增加趋势,气候环境变得有利于C₃植物生长.对比研究表明,由于在末次冰期乃至冰期最盛期阶段,雷州半岛地区的气温下降幅度可能仅在5~8℃左右,温度足以满足C₃/C₄植物的生长需要,从而使得受东亚夏季风强度直接影响的降水增多或减少成为控制本区域C₃/C₄植物相对丰度变化的主导因素.此外,大气CO₂浓度可能对该地区C₃/C₄植物相对丰度变化也具有一定的影响.
