Behavior of stratified sand–silt–gravel composites under seismic liquefaction conditions

Laboratory seismic liquefaction studies have generally dealt with homogeneous soil conditions only, although stratified soils exist for various soil deposits. The main objective of this research project was to compare the behavior of stratified and homogeneous sand–silt–gravel composites during seismic liquefaction conditions for various silt and gravel contents. An experimental program was undertaken in which a total of eighty stress-controlled undrained cyclic triaxial tests were performed. Two methods of sample preparation were used for each soil type. These methods included moist tamping (representing homogeneous soil conditions) and sedimentation (representing layered soil conditions). The silt contents ranged from 0 to 50%, and soils with 10 and 30% gravel contents were tested. The confining pressure in all test series was 100 kPa. The results indicate that the liquefaction resistances of layered and uniform soils are not significantly different, despite the fact that the soil fabric produced by the two methods of sample preparation is totally different. This finding justifies applying the laboratory tests results to the field conditions for the range of variable studied.     

Mechanism of Liquefaction Response in Sand–Silt Dynamic Centrifuge Tests

The process of dynamically induced liquefaction in two centrifuge soil models is analyzed. These models consist of saturated medium-dense sand overlain by a low permeability silt deposit, and represent prototypes of a level site and an embankment. The recorded lateral accelerations are employed to evaluate shear stress and strain histories at different elevations within the tested soil systems. These histories shed light on the involved liquefaction process, and the associated mechanisms of: (1) lateral deformation; (2) stiffness and strength degradation; and (3) possible densification and regain of stiffness, thereafter. The identified response patterns are found comparable to those documented by laboratory cyclic-loading tests.     

The Environmental benefits and costs of conservation tillage

 Every production practice, including conservation tillage, has positive or negative environmental consequences that may involve air, land, water, and/or the health and ecological status of wildlife. The negative impacts associated with agricultural production, and the use of conventional tillage systems in particular, include soil erosion, energy use, leaching and runoff of agricultural chemicals, and carbon emissions. Several of these impacts are quantified. The conclusions suggest that the use of conservation tillage does result in less of an adverse impact on the environment from agricultural production than does conventional tillage by reducing surface water runoff and wind erosion. Additionally, wildlife habitat will be enhanced to some extent with the adoption of conservation tillage and the benefits to be gained from carbon sequestration will depend on the soil remaining undisturbed. Finally, further expansion of conservation tillage on highly erodible land will unquestionably result in an increase in social benefits, but the expected gains will be modest.     

陕西咸阳东地震砂土液化的发现及意义

地震砂土液化是研究历史地震和古地震的重要手段,其结果对评价一个地区的地震危险性有重要意义。通过对陕西咸阳黄家沟、长兴村砂土液化平面和剖面特征的调查,明确了该地区砂土液化为地震诱发产生。对上述两地砂土液化所穿过的文化层进行考古鉴定,综合分析认为砂土液化形成于明朝时期,对应的地震可能是1556年华县8?级地震、1568年西安东北6?级地震或1487年临潼6?级地震。依据在渭河盆地发现的其他砂土液化,对其有争议的公元前780年岐山≥7级地震和公元600年秦陇6~7级地震的震中和震级进行讨论,认为公元前780年地震的震级定为8级有待更多的证据,公元600年秦陇地震震中应不在西安附近。这一结论为渭河盆地几条主要活动断裂的地震危险性评价提供了新的旁证资料。     

唐山断裂带南西段和北东段土壤气Rn和CO2浓度特征

本文通过测量唐山断裂带南西段王兰庄和北东段巍峰山的土壤气Rn和CO₂浓度, 探讨了Rn和CO₂浓度的空间分布特征及其与断裂活动的关系。 测量结果显示, 王兰庄剖面和巍峰山剖面土壤气Rn浓度范围分别为691~57 671 Bq/m³和471~32 739 Bq/m³, CO₂浓度范围分别为0.17%~7.21%和0.08%~1.71%。 两个剖面Rn和CO₂浓度均高于区域背景值, 这与唐山断裂带断层的开放状态有关。 Rn和CO₂释放强度(K_Q)在王兰庄剖面分别为2.90和4.04, 在巍峰山剖面释放强度分别为0.90和0.99。 王兰庄剖面测线中部土壤气浓度明显高于两端, 而巍峰山剖面测线中部与两端浓度平均值相近, 这种浓度空间分布特征的差异主要是断层破碎程度不同所致。 巍峰山剖面土壤气Rn浓度水平较高, 地球物理学研究发现此区域应力值高, 断层活动性较强, 表明土壤气Rn浓度与断层活动性有着密切的关系。     

GEOLOGICAL HAZARD CHARACTERISTICS AND MACROSCOPIC EPICENTER OF NOVEMBER 25, 2016, ARKETAO,XINJIANG, MW6.6 EARTHQUAKE

The M_W6.6 Arketao earthquake occurred on November 25, 2016 in Muji Basin of the Kongur extensional system in the eastern Pamir. The region is the Pamir tectonic knot, one of the two structural knots where the India plate collides with the Eurasian plate. This region is one of the most active areas in mainland China. The seismogenic structure of the earthquake is preliminarily determined as the Muji dextral-slip fault which locates in the north of Kongur extensional system. Based on field surveys of seismic geological hazard, and combined with the characteristics of high altitude area and the focal mechanism solution, this paper summarizes the associated distribution and development characteristics of sandy soil liquefaction, ground fissures, collapse, and landslide. There are 2 macroscopic epicenters of the earthquake, that is, Weirima village and Bulake village. There are a lot of geological hazards distributed in the macroscopic epicenters. Sand liquefaction is mainly distributed in the south of Kalaarte River, and area of sand liquefaction is 1 000m². The liquefaction material gushed along the mouth of springs and ground fissures, because of the frozen soil below the surface. More than 60% of soil liquefactions are formed in the mouth of springs. According to the trenching, these liquefactions occurred in 1.8 meters underground in the gray green silty clay and silty sand layers. The ground fissures are mainly caused by brittle failure, and the deformation of upper frozen soil layer is caused by the deformation of lower soil layer. The ground fissures at Weirima village are distributed in a chessboard-like pattern in the flood plain of Kalaarte River. In the Bulake village, the main movement features of the ground fissure are tension and sinistral slip, and the directions of ground fissures are 90°~135°. The collapse and landslide are one of the important geological disasters in the disaster area. The rolling stones falling in landslide blocked the roads and smashed the wire rods, and the biggest rolling stone is 4 meters in length. We only found a small landslide in the earthquake area, but there are a large number of unstable slopes and potential landslides in the surroundings. The ground fissures associated with sand liquefaction are an important cause of serious damage to the buildings.     

鄱阳湖典型洲滩湿地水分补排关系

湿地水分在地下水含水层-土壤-植物-大气界面的运移和转换是维持能量和营养物平衡的重要环节,水分运移是湿地生态水文过程研究的关键.数值模型模拟已成为水分运移研究的重要手段,然而限于复杂的湿地自然条件及有限的监测手段,部分界面水分通量连续动态变化数据的获取及定量化工作较为困难,目前应用数值模拟法于湿地水分运移研究的案例仍不多见.本文以鄱阳湖典型湿地为研究区,构建垂向一维数值模型,阐释了湖泊水位显著季节性变化条件下,湿地水分在不同界面的传输过程,量化了湿地水分的补排关系.结果表明:(1)界面水分通量季节性差异大,降雨入渗地面和根系层水分渗漏均对降雨变化响应敏感,主要集中在4—6月,分别占年总量(1450和1053 mm)的65%和73%.土面蒸发和植物蒸腾年总量为176和926 mm,土面蒸发主要受气候条件影响,植物蒸腾还与植物生长特征有关,均集中在7—8月,分别占年总量的30%和47%.深层土壤向浅层根系层的水分补给集中发生在地下水浅埋时段6—8月,占年总量(609 mm)的76%;(2)湿地植物根系层水分补排受鄱阳湖水位季节性波动影响显著.除丰水期(7—9月)主要补给为深层土壤水外,退、枯、涨水期的主要补给均为降水入渗.涨水期(4—6月)和枯水期(12—3月)的主要排泄为根系层水分渗漏,丰水期以植物蒸腾排泄为主,退水期(10—11月),土面蒸发与植物蒸腾为主要排泄,且比重相当.本文定量了鄱阳湖典型湿地不同界面水分连续交换关系,区分了土面蒸发和植物蒸腾,辨析了各界面水分的主要影响因子,研究结果有助于深入理解水分在湿地生态系统地下水含水层-土壤-植物-大气界面的相互作用机制,认识湖泊洲滩湿地水量平衡,为揭示湖泊水情变化对湿地生态的可能影响提供依据,为湿地生态水文过程研究提供重要方法和理论参考.     

Changes associated with Phragmites australis invasion in plant community and soil properties: A study on three invaded communities in a wetland,Victoria, Australia

Phragmites australis invasion is altering plant communities and therefore, soil properties have been changed significantly. This study compared the diversity among three communities in a wetland to assess the impact of invasion by Phragmites and the associated impact on soil properties. Three diversity indices, species richness (S), evenness (E) and Shanon-Weiner index (H) had significantly higher values in uninvaded plots compared to invaded in all the communities. Invaded plots had the lowest diversity, with H = 0 and Simpson’s index (D) = 1, (i.e. they were monospecific). These results support the idea that a reduction in diversity can be expected in wetlands colonized by Phragmites. Phragmites invasion significantly increased soil moisture, EC, phenolics, organic carbon, dehydrogenase activity and microbial biomass (C, N, P) with reduction of pH and arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi spore density compared with uninvaded zones. In addition, the study of antifungal phytochemistry of Phragmites elucidated the decrease of the competitive abilities of native plant Melaleuca ericifolia by interfering with formation of mycorrhizal associations and biomass. Our results suggest that Phragmites invasion has caused significant ecological alterations in communities by demonstrating a combined effect to plant diversity and soil variables.
