Flood dynamics of a concrete-lined,urban stream in Kansas City,Missouri

Brush Creek drains a 76·1 km² watershed within urban Kansas City, Missouri and eastern Kansas. A concrete-lined reach trending 6·1 km through the Plaza District of Kansas City, Missouri has been the focus for several major floods over the past ten years. Channel geometry, slope, and floodwater elevations were determined in the field for segments of the concrete-lined section of Brush Creek for a flood event that occurred on September 18, 1986. Discharge was computed by indirect methods and compared to a value determined from a rating curve established by the Water Resources Division of the U.S.G.S. Boundary shear stress, unit stream power, and average velocity were also computed in order to establish a quantitative relationship between sediment distribution, volume, and size fractions; and flow dynamics operating throughout the channel during this event. Boundary shear stress ranged from 91-96 Nm^?2, stream power was 528-557 Wm^?2, while average velocity was 5-8 ms^?1. These values were sufficient to displace concrete slabs as large as 5 m long by 4·6 m wide by 0·23 m thick weighing an estimated 12 245 kg. As the channel was sediment free and unsecured prior to the flood, the distribution of deposits and subsequent channel scour provide valuable evidence for potentially hazardous sections of this urban stream.     

Static deformation of two welded half-spaces due to very long strike-slip dislocations

Closed form analytic expressions for displacement and stresses at any point of either of the two homogeneous, isotropic, perfectly elastic half-spaces in welded contact due to very long strike-slip dislocations are obtained. Both cases of vertical and horizontal strike-slip dislocations are discussed in detail. Variation of the displacement with horizontal distance from the fault and with vertical distance from the interface for a vertical strike-slip fault is studied numerically.     

莫尔－库仑强度理论的修正

本文对莫尔－库仑（Ｍｏｈｒ－Ｃｏｕｌｏｍｂ）强度理论作了重要修正。指出静水应力不仅对材料固有强度，而且对剪切滑移也有影响，从而得到了一个计及中间主应力影响的剪切强度公式。根据断裂力学的分析，该公式可进一步用于材料的断裂强度的计算。     

Pressure Solution of Sulphides in Some Massive Sulphide Zinc—lead Deposits of Western Canada：Its Significance in Mobilization of Ore—forming Materials

Pressure solution is a common phenomenon in massive sulphide zinc-lead deposits of western Canada and may have been an important factor leading to the mobilization of ore-forming materials during diagenesis, deformation and metamorphism of sedimentary ores.The control of ductile shear zones over gold mineralization could be explained in view of pressure solution of gold-bearing miner-als under shearing stress and the tesultant mobilization of this metal.

三道溜河地区太古宙岩浆－构造事件

三道溜河地区处于中朝准地台北东缘，北西起自著名的夹皮沟金矿，南东至四道砬子河，太古宇出露广泛。笔者在此进行１：５万区调时，共发现了六次岩浆－构造事件，由老至新依次为：７８７角闪辉石岩、岭东片麻岩、大朝阳沟斜长角闪岩、三道溜河ＴＴＧ岩组、唐胡店沟二长花岗岩、五道砬子河变辉长辉绿岩（发生在元古宙早期，在时空上与太古宇关系密切）。上述事件，表现为基性岩类与酸性岩类交替出现。基性岩事件依次为超基性岩－基性岩－偏碱性基性岩，稀土元素总量由高至低，微量元素Ｂａ、Ｍｎ、Ｚｒ递增，Ｐｂ、Ｚｎ递减。酸性岩事件依次为中酸性岩－酸性岩－偏碱性酸性岩，稀土元素的Ｌａ／Ｌｕ、ΣＣｅ／ΣＹ由低到高，总量变化不大，微量元素Ｃｏ、Ｃｒ、Ｎｉ、Ｃｕ递减。本区的构造运动与岩浆侵入活动相辅相成，古穹窿构造及北西向韧性剪切带控制了Ａｕ、Ａｇ、Ｃｕ等矿产的展布。     

Flow and grainsize pattern in a sharply curved river bend

The main characteristics of river flow and grainsize in a bend of the sand bedded meandering river Dommel, The Netherlands, are presented. Measurements were carried out at a relatively low discharge in a sharply curved bend following a long straight reach. In the studied bend, secondary circulation is restricted to the thalweg area; only in the downstream part of the bend it exists over the entire cross-section. Therefore, on the entire pointbar platform, which comprises the larger part of the bend, the median sedimentation diameter of the bedload material is governed by the distribution of the longitudinal components of the bed shear stress only.

华北地区的共轭地震构造带

本文采用小地震活动图象和４．０级（Ｍｓ）以上地震震源机制资料的构造分析方法，得到一幅华北地区震源构造在地面的投影分布图，它显示４条ＮＮＥ－ＮＥ向和１条ＮＷＷ－ＮＷ向地震构造带交切成的共轭剪切构造格架。每条地震构造带又由一系列共轭剪切构造组成。由发生在带内的５个大震序列共轭破裂特征发现，共轭地震构造的孕震与控震作用是地震构造带形成的机制。     

Time effects on dynamic soil properties under random excitation conditions

Two types of clayey soils, a kaolinite and a bentonite, were tested using a resonant column apparatus under random excitation conditions. The concept of root mean square (rms) strain was utilized for the purpose of strain calculations during random loading. The conventional estimator of the transfer function was used for random vibration analysis. The effect of confinement duration (at a constant pressure) on dynamic soil properties, namely damping and shear modulus, was evaluated. The results indicate that for both cohesive soils, the effect of time was less pronounced during random vibration than sinusoidal loading at the same rms strain. This effect is however more pronounced when the peak shearing strain of sinusoidal loading is considered. Furthermore, time effects were more pronounced at low strain levels than at high strain levels.
