Damage‐based seismic planar pounding analysis of adjacent symmetric buildings considering inelastic structure–soil–structure interaction

In cities and urban areas, building structures located at close proximities inevitably interact under dynamic loading by direct pounding and indirectly through the underlying soil. Majority of the previous adjacent building pounding studies that have taken the structure–soil–structure interaction (SSSI) problem into account have used simple lumped mass–spring–dashpot models under plane strain conditions. In this research, the problem of SSSI‐included pounding problem of two adjacent symmetric in plan buildings resting on a soft soil profile excited by uniaxial earthquake loadings is investigated. To this end, a series of SSSI models considering one‐directional nonlinear impact elements between adjacent co‐planar stories and using a method for direct finite element modeling of 3D inelastic underlying soil volume has been developed to accurately study the problem. An advanced inelastic structural behavior parameter, the seismic damage index, has been considered in this study as the key nonlinear structural response of adjacent buildings. Based on the results of SSSI and fixed base case analyses presented herein, two main problems are investigated, namely, the minimum building separation distance for pounding prevention and seismic pounding effects on structural damage in adjacent buildings. The final results show that at least three times, the International Building Code 2009 minimum distance for building separation recommended value is required as a clear distance for adjacent symmetric buildings to prevent the occurrence of seismic pounding. At the International Building Code‐recommended distance, adjacent buildings experienced severe seismic pounding and therefore significant variations in storey shear forces and damage indices.

Climate change and runoff response based on isotope analysis in an arid mountain watershed of the western Kunlun Mountains

Climate change and runoff response were assessed for the Tizinafu River basin in the western Kunlun Mountains, China, based on isotope analysis. We examined climate change in the past 50 years using meteorological data from 1957 to 2010. Results of the Mann-Kendall non-parametric technique test indicated that temperature in the entire basin and precipitation in the mountains exhibited significant increasing trends. Climate change also led to significant increasing trends in autumn and winter runoff but not in spring runoff. By using 122 isotope samples, we investigated the variations of isotopes in different water sources and analysed the contributions of different water sources based on isotope hydrograph separation. The results show that meltwater, groundwater and rainfall contribute 17%, 40% and 43% of the annual streamflow, respectively. Isotope analysis was also used to explain the difference in seasonal runoff responses to climate change. As the Tizinafu is a precipitation-dependent river, future climate change in precipitation is a major concern for water resource management.

二维TI介质非结构网格弹性波矢量逆时偏移

波场延拓得到的多分量波场中既包含纵波信息也包含横波信息,能否在全波场中实现纵横波的分离对各向同性和各向异性逆时偏移都有非常重要的意义.传统的散度旋度分离只适应于各向同性介质而对各向异性介质却无效.在非规则、非结构网格的弹性波数值模拟方法的基础上,发展了一种适应于各向异性介质的波场分离方法.该方法通过求解Christoffel方程,得到相角和极化角的关系,再利用群角和相角的关系,直接得到群角和极化角的关系.该方法与现存的各向异性波场分离相比,获得的计算效率改进更显著,而且存储量小.用简单各向异性模型和SEG各向异性Hess模型进行测试,都得到了较好的效果,证明了本文方法的有效性.     

基于纵横波解耦的三维弹性波逆时偏移

纵横波波场分离是弹性波偏移方法的必要条件,通过纵横波成像的差异可以获取更多地下介质的信息.目前所用的纵横波波场分离方法多采用Helmholtz分解,这样得到的波场不仅物理意义发生了变化,振幅和相位也会发生改变.本文采用纵横波解耦的弹性波方程,将其应用于三维介质,对比分析了纵横波解耦方法相对传统Helmholtz分解方法在相位、振幅上的优势.将该解耦的波场分离方法应用于弹性波逆时偏移,能得到相位、振幅和物理意义不受改变的偏移结果.但是该解耦方法分离得到的纵横波波场均为矢量场,将该波场分离方法用于弹性波逆时偏移,还需要解决矢量场如何得到标量成像结果的问题.本文引入了Poynting矢量,通过Poynting矢量对矢量波场进行标量化,这样就能得到保振幅、相位,且无极性反转的标量PP和PS成像结果.同时针对S波Poynting矢量求取不准确的问题,采用拟S波应力场和S波速度场得到了更加准确的S波Poynting矢量.理论计算证明了本文采用的3D波场解耦的矢量波场分离方法的正确性和引入Poynting矢量对矢量波场进行标量成像的有效性.     

基于新的惩罚因子算法的波场重构反演

全波形反演是一种高精度的反演方法,其目标函数是一个强非线性函数,易受局部极值影响,而且反演过程计算量较大.波场重构反演是近几年提出的一种改进的全波形反演理论.该反演方法通过将波动方程作为惩罚项引入到目标函数中,通过拓宽解的寻找空间减弱了局部极小值的影响,而且反演过程不需要计算伴随波场,提高了计算效率.但该反演方法一直缺少准确的惩罚因子算法,直接影响到该方法的准确度.本文将波场重构反演拓展到时间域并利用梯度法进行波场重构.频率域的惩罚因子用来加强波动方程的约束,而时间域惩罚因子表现为调节模拟波场和实际波场的权重因子.为此,我们根据约束优化理论,在波动方程准确以及重构波场与反演参数解耦的假设下,提出以波动方程为目标函数的新的惩罚因子算法.根据波形反演在应用时普遍存在的噪音干扰、子波错误和低频信息缺失的情况下,应用部分Sigsbee2A模型合成数据对本文提出的算法进行实验.数值实验结果表明：基于新的惩罚因子算法,在其他信息不准确的情况下,波场重构反演可以给出高精度的反演结果.     

Efficient reflection waveform inversion using a locally normalized zero-lag correlative objective function

Full-waveform inversion is characterized by cycle-skipping when the starting background model differs significantly from the true model and low-frequency data are unavailable. To mitigate this problem, reflection waveform inversion is applied to provide a background velocity model for full-waveform inversion. This technique attempts to extract background velocity updates along the reflection wavepath by matching the reflection waveforms. However, two issues arise during the implementation of reflection waveform inversion: amplitude and efficiency. The amplitude is always underestimated due to the complex subsurface parameter (i.e. the source signature, density, attenuation etc.). This makes it unreasonable to match the reflection amplitude involved in waveforms, especially in the filed data cases. In addition, generating the background velocity gradient requires the simulation of the reflection wavefield. However, simulating the reflection wavefield is time-consuming. To address the former, we introduced a locally normalized objective function, while for the latter, we used an efficient strategy by avoiding the explicit generation of the reflection wavefield. Results show that applying the proposed method to both synthetic and field data can provide a good background velocity model for full-waveform inversion with high efficiency.
