Origin of the high variability of water mineral content in the bedrock aquifers of Southern Madagascar

This study assesses the causes of the high spatial variability of the mineral content of groundwater in crystalline bedrock of Southern Madagascar. Although many kilometres from the coast and at a mean altitude of 400 m a.s.l, wells drilled in this area produce water with electrical conductivities in the range of 300–30,000 μS cm⁻¹ with a high spatial variability. Chemical and isotopic data are used to identify the processes involved in the groundwater mineralization. It is shown that the chemical composition of the groundwater in this region has its origin in (i) normal silicate and carbonate weathering reactions and (ii) input of marine salts, probably via rainfall recharge, modified by evapo-concentrative processes probably including precipitation and re-dissolution of secondary evaporites in the unsaturated zone. To obtain a better understanding of the spatial salinity distribution, well parameters such as yields, weathered zone thickness, weathered materials and morphological positions (upper slope, mid-slope, lower slope or valley bottom) are scrutinized.

A correlation was found between high salinity and low flow, shallow groundwater environments (flat hill tops, valley bottoms, weakly developed and clayey weathered zones) and between low salinity and high flow environments (granular, well-developed weathered zones and situation on valley slopes).     

瓦屋山水电站厂房区红层岩体古滑坡稳定性研究

红层岩体以其岩体结构的软硬相间及软弱夹层发育而在边坡稳定方面表现为易滑地层。瓦屋山水电站厂房区边坡为顺向坡,砂岩类岩石与黏土岩类岩石呈缓倾、互层状(倾角10~20)产出。构造与表生改造作用下,在这两类软硬相间的岩石界面上常形成分布较为连续的软弱夹层,这类岩体较易沿软弱夹层产生顺层滑动。地质历史时期,瓦屋山厂房区就是在这样的地质背景下,形成了多个古滑坡体,如颜湾和庙子岩古滑坡,它们在自然状态下已基本稳定。随后因风化剥蚀等作用,古滑坡体形态被改变或被来自后缘斜坡的坡残积层所掩埋,使其在勘察期间难以被发现。庙子岩滑坡即是这样一个被掩埋的古滑坡体坡,施工开挖过程中,由于切脚及降雨作用,使其重新滑动复活。本文以反复剪试验得到的滑动面抗剪参数,采用边坡稳定极限分析能量法(Energy Method Upper Baond Limit Analysis),简称EMU法,对庙子岩古滑坡在各种工况下的稳定作了计算,并据其结果采取了相应的抗滑处理。本文可作为红层岩体地区该类型滑坡勘察和工程处理设计的参考。     

布达拉宫西印经院地基应力特征与结构变形分析

世界各国在文物建筑保护领域形成共识的技术标准非常有限,而岩土工程研究与文物建筑保护研究的融合是目前斜坡岩体古建筑保护研究的一个发展方向。在世界文化遗产布达拉宫西印经院保护研究的过程中,采用岩土工程和结构工程技术手段,对红山岩体及结构主体进行调研和勘察,揭示了影响该文物建筑结构稳定的三个因素,即斜坡岩体地基非均质性、建筑物刚度具有较大差异性和结构荷载分布的不均匀性。进一步分析了地基中的应力分布特征,模拟研究了三个因素综合影响下的地基沉降及结构变形力学机制,为斜坡岩体古建筑的保护提供依据。     

The influence of bedrock orientation on the landscape evolution,surface morphology and denudation (10Be) at the Niesen,Switzerland

Landscape evolution and surface morphology in mountainous settings are a function of the relative importance between sediment transport processes acting on hillslopes and in channels, modulated by climate variables. The Niesen nappe in the Swiss Penninic Prealps presents a unique setting in which opposite facing flanks host basins underlain by identical lithologies, but contrasting litho‐tectonic architectures where lithologies either dip parallel to the topographic slope or in the opposite direction (i.e. dip slope and non‐dip slope). The north‐western facing Diemtigen flank represents such a dip slope situation and is characterized by a gentle topography, low hillslope gradients, poorly dissected channels, and it hosts large landslides. In contrast, the south‐eastern facing Frutigen side can be described as non‐dip slope flank with deeply incised bedrock channels, high mean hillslope gradients and high relief topography. Results from morphometric analysis reveal that noticeable differences in morphometric parameters can be related to the contrasts in the relative importance of the internal hillslope‐channel system between both valley flanks. While the contrasting dip‐orientations of the underlying flysch bedrock has promoted hillslope and channelized processes to contrasting extents and particularly the occurrence of large landslides on the dip slope flank, the flank averaged beryllium‐10 (¹⁰Be)‐derived denudation rates are very similar and range between 0.20 and 0.26 mm yr^?1. In addition, our denudation rates offer no direct relationship to basin's slope, area, steepness or concavity index, but reveal a positive correlation to mean basin elevation that we interpret as having been controlled by climatically driven factors such as frost‐induced processes and orographic precipitation. Our findings illustrate that while the landscape properties in this part of the northern Alpine border can mainly be related to the tectonic architecture of the underlying bedrock, the denudation rates have a strong orographic control through elevation dependent mean annual temperature and precipitation.

基岩弯曲河段洪水水流结构的试验研究

低坡度基岩弯曲河流在地质构造控制区域广泛存在（床面坡度小于5‰）,洪水对基岩弯曲河流的河床淤积与侵蚀具有较大影响,但以往研究对基岩弯曲河流的洪水动力结构认识不足。通过几何概化基岩弯曲河段,考虑Froude相似与边壁粗糙,建立基岩弯曲河道概化模型,分析洪水下的弯道水面线分布、时均流场与湍流结构特性。结果表明:在洪水流量下,弯顶上游出现最小水面横比降、凸岸水流分离、凹岸双环流发育、流速下潜且二次环流强度达到最大,在弯顶下游水面横比降达到最大并出现环流分裂;床面切应力分布于凸岸水流分离以及弯顶上游中心区域,横向动量输移集中于弯顶上游。试验结果为基岩弯曲河道中的床面侵蚀与沿程淤积提供了水动力方面的解释。
