Slip line theory applied to a retaining wall–unsaturated soil interaction problem

An extension of slip line theory to unsaturated soils is presented and applied to the problem of a rigid retaining wall rotating about its toe into unsaturated soils. Suction is introduced using the effective stress concept. Soil–wall interface friction is defined carefully. The influence of suction on limiting passive earth pressures is analysed for two soils under steady state evaporation and infiltration. Suction increases the limiting passive stress at the soil–wall interface, with a dependence on the steady state flow type. The displacement of the retained soil is studied assuming the wall undergoes a rotation increment. The results show a clear difference in the displacement for evaporation and infiltration.     

Test and numerical research on wall deflections induced by pre-excavation dewatering

Numerous studies have been devoted to the performance of excavations and adjacent facilities. In contrast, few studies have focused on retaining wall deflections induced by pre-excavation dewatering. However, considerable inward cantilever deflections were observed for a diaphragm wall in a pre-excavation dewatering test based on a long and narrow metro excavation, and the maximum deflection reached 10 mm (37.6% of the allowable wall deflection for the project). Based on the test results, a three-dimensional soil–fluid coupled finite element model was established and used to study the mechanism of the dewatering-induced diaphragm wall deflections. Numerical results indicated that the diaphragm wall deflection results from three factors: (1) the seepage force around the dewatering well and the soil–wall interaction caused the inward horizontal displacement of the soil inside the excavation; (2) the reduced total earth pressure on the excavated side of the diaphragm wall above approximately 1/2 of the maximum dewatering depth disequilibrated the original earth pressure on both sides of the diaphragm wall; and (3) the different negative friction on the excavated and retained sides of the diaphragm wall led to the rotation of the diaphragm wall into the excavation.     

时变重力场的非各向同性高斯滤波比较

使用GRACE反演地球表层的质量异常,其结果取决于构造的平滑函数即滤波方法。本文阐述了两种在经典高斯滤波基础上构造的Fan滤波和Non-isotropic Gaussian(Non)滤波,两者均对GRACE的阶和次起作用。在同一阶下,两者的权重随着次数的升高而衰减,但衰减的趋势不同,比如在20阶时,Fan滤波呈抛物线变化,而Non滤波则为线性衰减;在40和60阶,两者均呈抛物线变化。使用CSR发布的GRACE Level-2 RL05数据反演地表质量异常,两者的结果相近。     

辽河油田曙一区杜84块兴隆台油层构造应力场研究

根据辽河油田已有地层、构造资料，研究了杜84块构造格架、主要断裂特点，在此基础上,建立了构造应力场模拟的三维地质模型，用3D-σ软件进行了构造应力场三维有限元模拟研究。其结果表明，杜84块油层受构造应力状态为最大和中间主应力近水平，最小主应力垂直。在此应力场作用下，区内断层运动方式为正断兼水平扭动。三维有限元模拟计算结果表明，沿断层带均发生压应力和剪应力集中现象,从而有利于断层发生扭张性运动。位移分析表明，有明显的呈阶梯状组合的正断位移。据破坏率分析，在现有应力场作用下，油层所在岩体局部会产生裂缝。     

磁场中p模/s模的转换及黑子对声波的吸收

在柱坐标下将黑子周围的环形区域（黑子除外）内的振荡分解为朝向黑子传播的（入射的）波和离开黑子传播的（出射的）波。对无黑子的环形区域内的振荡也进行了同样的分解。将黑子周围的入射波看成是被黑子磁流管磁化了的介质（介质内的磁场基本是水平的）中的波。而无黑子区的入射波看成是非磁化介质中的波。比较这两种波在固定波数下功率随频率的分布发现，在磁化介质中不同径向除ｎ的声波（ｐ模）频率系统降低，同时功率也降低，降低的功率最高达非磁化介质中波的功率的３０％。而比较在固定频率下功率随波数的分布发现，磁场中ｆ模及ｎ＝１，２，３的ｐ模的脊向高波数方向位移，功率的降低受频率调制，即声波在某些有限的频带中被吸收。这些观测表明，在磁场中ｐ模与磁声重力波（ＭＡＧ）产生了模式混合或耦合。模式混合的存在支持了模式转换作为ｐ模式被黑子吸收的机制的解释。此外，本文还分析了转换的ＭＡＧ波进入黑子磁流管（其中的磁场基本上是垂直的）后进一步被吸收，吸收的功率最高达ＭＡＧ波的２０％。在磁流管内没有进一步观测到模式的转换     

Generalized Hough transform for the stress inversion of calcite twin data

Since the mechanical twinning along calcite e-planes has a critical resolved shear stress, not only principal stress axes but also differential stress can be determined from the orientations of twin lamellae. Based on the five-dimensional stress space that fulfills the principle of coordinate invariance, it is shown in this article that the inversion of twin and untwin data is comparable with fitting a spherical cap to data points on a unit sphere in the space. The principal stress orientations and stress ratio are indicated by the center of the cap, whereas differential stress is denoted by the size of the cap. Based on this geometrical interpretation, the generalized Hough transform was applied to the inversion of the data in this study. The new method is demonstrated to be robust to sampling bias, variability in the critical resolved shear stress. The determination of differential stress was difficult when the differential stress to be detected was ∼10 times larger than the critical resolved shear stress. Stresses were separated by the method from heterogeneous data successfully as long as the spherical caps corresponding to the stresses to be detected had no or a small intersection.

Lithospheric flexure, uplift and expected horizontal strain rate in the Pannonian Carpathian region

The Apuseni Mountains are located between the Pannonian Basin and the Transylvanian Basin along a direction of SE convergence with the Carpathian belt. A flexural model based on the cylindrical bending of a semi-infinite, isostatically supported, thin elastic plate is here examined with the Apuseni playing the role of flexural bulge, and under the assumption that the plate is deforming under the action of a vertical shear force and a bending moment applied at the end of the plate, beneath the Carpathians. The model yields estimates of the plate thickness ranging between 13 and 14.5 km, depending on the assumed density contrast between crust/sediments and mantle providing buoyancy. The vertical shear force which is necessary to bend the plate is in the range between 60 and 300 × 10¹¹ N m^− 1, depending on the assumed density contrast. This force is shown to be modelled by a gravitational ‘slab pull’ force, using model parameters derived from seismic tomography. If the height of the flexural bulge, after correction for erosion, is allowed to increase, the model yields an estimate of the horizontal strain rate at the top of the bulge. For example, 5 mm/yr vertical change of the flexural bulge of a 14 km thick plate results in a horizontal deformation rate of approximately 7 nanostrain/yr at the top of the bulge, a value which is at the threshold of sensitivity of continuous GPS measurements. Different vertical rates will change the horizontal strain rate almost proportionally.     

Stress Measurement by Overcoring at Shallow Depths in a Rock Slope: the Scattering of Input Data and Results

This paper describes a field experiment of stress measurement using the overcoring method performed in a rock slope, called Rochers de Valabres (located in France’s Southern Alps Region), a field laboratory site prone to rockfalls. Six measurements were conducted at shallow depths from the surface, moving deeper along a sub-horizontal borehole. The experiment was conducted in heterogeneous and anisotropic gneiss, with the overcored rock elastic properties, as evaluated by biaxial and uniaxial tests, being widely scattered. Since stress calculations are sensitive to all input data uncertainties, strain inversion was, thus, performed using an experimental device and Monte Carlo simulations. The experimental device allows the assessment of rather broad confidence intervals for both stress magnitude and orientation. The results indicate that the stress state in the surface area is quite heterogeneous and may be correlated with topography. The measurements show a nonlinear stress distribution with distance to the free surface, along with high values of principal stresses, despite the vicinity of the surface. Although influenced by local topography, orientations of the principal computed stresses are characterized by a high turnover due to local heterogeneities. The results are roughly in accordance to a 2D finite element model of the site.
