Nonlinear earthquake response analysis and energy calculation for seismic slit shear wall structures

Based on the concept of structural passive control, a new type of slit shear wall, with improved seismic performance when compared to an ordinary solid shear wall, was proposed by the authors in 1996. The idea has been verified by a series of pseudo-static and dynamic tests. In this paper a macro numerical model is developed for the wall element and the energy dissipation device. Then, nonlinear time history analysis is carried out for a 10-story slit shear wall model tested on a shaking table. Furthermore, the seismic input energy and the individual energy dissipated by the components are calculated by a method based on Newmark-β assumptions for this shear wall model, and the advantages of this shear wall are further demonstrated by the calculation results from the viewpoint of energy. Finally, according to the seismic damage criterion on the basis of plastic accumulative energy and maximum response, the optimal analysis is carried out to select design parameters for the energy dissipation device.

The environmental impact of small-scale gold mining in Ghana: identifying problems and possible solutions

This paper examines the environmental impacts of small-scale gold mining in Ghana, and prescribes a series of recommendations for improving environmental performance in the industry. Since the enactment of the Small Scale Gold Mining Law in 1989, which effectively legalized small-scale gold mining in the country, industrial operations, collectively, have made important contributions to national gold output, foreign exchange earnings and employment. Accompanying this pattern of socio-economic growth, however, have been increased environmental complications – namely, mercury pollution and land degradation. The Ghanaian Minerals Commission has been burdened with most of the jurisdictional responsibilities related to small-scale mining, but with a staff of only 35–40 people working with a pool of highly obsolete research resources, it is clearly incapable of facilitating sufficient environmental improvement on its own. It is concluded that marked environmental improvements can only be achieved if: (1) assistance is provided to the Minerals Commission from local governmental bodies and academic units; (2) industry-specific environmental management tools and strategies are designed and implemented; (3) concerted effort is made to prospect for deposits suitable for small-scale gold mining, a key to preventing unnecessary exploration; and (4) a nation-wide industrial mercury study is commissioned, and a mercury retorting programme is implemented.     

北京西部山地景观生态整治与景观规划--以北京房山区史家营乡的典型研究为例

北京市西部山区是因矿区开发使山地景观生态环境破坏的重点地区,在北京市生态环境整治与建设中具有十分重要的典型意义。不合理的煤炭资源开采导致了矿点密度大,采空塌陷区分布广,水资源急剧减少,水质污染严重,植被大规模遭破坏,水土流失严重,泥石流等灾害加重以及煤尘污染问题突出等一系列环境问题,呈现出山地生态系统遭受严重破坏的景观生态特征。本文以史家营为例,在典型调查的基础上,规划了景观生态环境恢复与重建区、种植养殖和观光生态农业示范区、果粮养殖生态农业区、林草放牧生态畜牧业示范区、生态旅游区的五个景观规划区域,探讨了生态型矿业、中低山特色生态农业和生态旅游发展的产业发展模式,并初步提出了景观生态整治的措施。     

陕西省神木县地质灾害发育特征及防治建议

陕西省神木县近年来经济发展迅猛，但随着境内煤炭资源的开发利用和各类基础设施建设的加快发展，崩塌、滑坡、泥石流、矿区塌陷等地质灾害也愈发严重，对人民生命财产造成了巨大危害。笔者等在遥感图像解译和野外详细调查访问的基础上，查明了区内地质灾害类型、数量、规模及其时空展布规律，分析了各类地质灾害的主要形成条件。指出各类灾害中以煤矿开采及煤田自燃引起的矿区地面塌陷分布范围最广、危害最严重，其次是崩塌、滑坡，泥石流灾害仅局部发育。描述了重要灾点特征，提出了相应的防治建议。     

双鸭山矿区矿井充水规律研究

河北省峰峰矿区通二井田石炭系—二叠系砂岩显微组构特征分析

对河北省峰峰矿区通二井田煤系地层砂岩中石英光轴的组构特征进行了显微镜下的观察分析。实测的12个岩组图均呈大圆环带状,表现为多组的极密区和次极密区,并以单斜对称组构为主体,具有一个对称面和垂直对称面的1个二次轴,以该轴两两对称的极密区和次极密区有2对或2对以上,表明研究区发生过不容忽视的旋转或剪切运动,它们的构造变形史可能具有多次活动性,并伴随有地温上升的过程。根据水平相岩组图所做的主应力轨迹图显示F56断层是形成张家庄向斜构造区和集贤村构造区的内部边界条件,并表明通二井田最大主压应力方向在北部以北西—南东向为主,向南逐渐转为东西向;最小主压应力方向在集贤村构造区以北东向为主,在中南部张家庄向斜构造区则以近南北向为主。     

基于应变模态法识别刚架桥梁的损伤

基于应变模态方法，对刚架桥的损伤识别进行了研究。通过对某刚架桥在不同损伤工况下的数值仿真计算，探讨了应变模态方法用于刚架桥损伤识别的能力。计算结果表明：利用应变模态差曲线能比较准确地识别出刚架桥的损伤位置；应变模态差曲线在刚架桥损伤单元处的跳跃幅值随单元损伤程度的增加而增大，依此可定性地识别出刚架桥的损伤程度。
