砂土中桩土侧向相互作用的应变楔模型修正

提出了砂土中水平受荷单桩的修正应变楔方法。从3个方面对应变楔模型进行了修正,首先假设三维被动土楔后桩身的水平位移呈非线性变化,从而使得楔形体内的水平应变不再是一常量,而是沿深度变化。其次引入了两个双曲线型的模型分别用以模拟楔形体中土体的水平应力增量-应变关系和桩-土界面处桩侧剪应力-位移关系。然后通过算例验证了修正方法的有效性,模拟结果与实测结果吻合较好。最后分析了各个修正因素对计算结果影响,结果显示,非线性位移假设的引入对原应变楔模型计算的水平承载力偏高有明显地改善,新的水平应力增量-应变关系和桩侧剪应力-位移关系的引入使得应变楔方法更加简便有效。     

Lateral loading of a pile using strain wedge model and its application under scouring

The scour hole around a pile will reduce the capacity of a laterally loaded pile. The strain wedge model is capable to derive a p–y curve for the analysis of a lateral loaded pile on a nonlinear Winkler foundation. To improve and extend the ability of the strain wedge method, a modified strain wedge (MSW) method is developed, in which a nonlinear lateral deflection of the pile is assumed to describe the varied soil strain distribution in the passive wedge. And then by treating the soil weight involved in the strain wedge as a vertical load at the bottom of the scour hole, an equivalent wedge depth is obtained to consider the effect of scour hole dimensions on the response of laterally loaded piles in sand. The validity of the MSW model is proved by comparisons with a centrifuge test without scour. And its applicability in the problem of a pile with scour is performed by a comparison with a model test and a FE analysis. The analysis shows the pile displacement at the pile head with scour can be obtained by multiplying the corresponding deflection without scour with an amplification factor related to scour depth at large load level.     

Influence of beach morphodynamics on the bivalve Donax hanleyanus and Mesodesma mactroides populations in Argentina

Five exposed microtidal sandy beaches of North-eastern Buenos Aires (Argentina) were analysed to evaluate the influence of coastal dynamics on the abundance of the intertidal clams Donax hanleyanus and Mesodesma mactroides over a 1-year period. The physical characterisation of each beach was performed using 15 environmental variables and six morphodynamic indices. The population densities of both clam species were estimated by the number of individuals per strip-transect. Analysis of similarities revealed a significant multivariate environmental difference among beaches, which could be aggregated into a northern and a southern group. The former group was characterised by an intermediate morphodynamic state and by having, in general, high density values for both clam species. The latter was composed of beaches with an intermediate reflective state and showed, in general, low density values. Beach Index and Area showed the lowest temporal variation. Total density values, as well as density values of recruits and adults of D. hanleyanus and M. mactroides did not follow a north–south latitudinal gradient. Spatial and temporal fluctuations of density values were best explained by changes in individual physical variables rather than by changes in composite indices.     

节理岩体关键块体稳定的概率分析

基于地下岩体受节理面的控制,节理面的几何和力学参数随机分布,从而导致岩体系统具有高度不确定性,提出以关键块体理论为基础,考虑节理几何和力学参数随机性的岩体开挖可靠度分析方法,并给出了块体稳定的总失效概率评价模型。以澳大利亚阿德莱德地区一铜矿地质条件为例,以节理面倾角、倾向、摩擦系数和黏聚力为随机变量,通过Monte Carlo模拟和概率图方法,进行了岩体可靠度和失效概率的计算。最后,采用条件概率的分析方法,计算了单面滑动块体的总失效概率。计算结果表明,块体沿单面滑动并且出现的概率为11.0%,总的失效概率为3.85%,超过一般岩体工程可允许的风险水平,认为该方法可以作为评价块体可靠性的依据。     

成都平原第四纪化石冰楔的发现及古气候意义

最近,在成都平原西缘,大邑城西氮肥厂附近,斜江河西岸,上新统-下更新统大邑砾岩剖面的北端新开挖的露头上,发现了4条化石冰楔。这里的地理坐标是30°35'N103°31'E,海拔530m.这些冰楔发育于大邑砾岩露头的顶部。其中最大的一条,顶部宽3m,向下延伸2.5m.这些冰楔垂直向下延伸,与大邑砾岩层面斜交。所以,它们是在大邑砾岩沉积之后并经过构造变动后形成的,是大邑砾岩的后生冰楔。化石冰楔的充填物的特征与大邑砾岩有明显差别:前者为棕黄色,后者为灰白-黄色;前者砾径分选较好,砾径较细,一般长5cm~15cm,而后者砾径分选较差,粗大者20cm~30cm;前者的砾石含量高,约95%,后者的砾石含量低,约85%;前者砾石ab面产状无优势方向,而后者的ab面产状显示优势方向,倾向170°~210°,倾角30°~40°.由于两者有上述差别,所以,化石冰楔在露头上可以被识别出来。采用ESR法测定冰楔充填物的时代为0.171Ma.由此看来,这些冰楔的形成时代可能相当于V28-238深海岩心氧同位素曲线第6气候期(0.195Ma~0.128Ma),也可与中国黄土L_2~5(0.195Ma~0.180Ma)和L_2~4(0.180Ma~0.167Ma)所记录的气候波动和青藏高原倒数第二次冰期对比。
一般认为,冰楔是多年冻土的指示器,所以这些化石冰楔反映了成都平原在第四纪曾一度发育多年冻土。据研究,冰楔只能形成于年均温<-6℃的地方,高海拔多年冻土下界大致与-2℃~-4℃年均等温线相符。现今,大邑附近年均温约16℃.那么,化石冰楔形成时期,成都平原年均温至少比现今下降了18℃.      

前陆褶皱冲断带冲起构造发育特征:基于砂箱构造物理模拟实验研究

冲起构造广泛发育于挤压逆冲构造体系和走滑构造体系,具有极其重要的油气勘探价值,因而备受关注。砂箱模拟模型已经被证明是强大的可视化工具,用来模拟不同岩层中复杂的构造现象。基于相似初始砂箱构造模型条件下不同挤压速率(0.3 mm/s、0.1 mm/s、0.005 mm/s)变形过程,揭示出褶皱冲断带发育过程中的典型两类冲起构造：叠加冲起构造和单一冲起构造,它们对于褶皱冲断带演化过程及其油气勘探具有明显不同的重要性。砂箱物理模拟实验揭示楔形体扩展变形序列对前陆褶皱冲断带冲起构造发育类别具有重要控制作用,即褶皱冲断带前缘以前展式扩展变形为主,主要发育单一冲起构造;后缘以后展式扩展变形为主,主要发育叠加冲起构造。     

Magmatic and hydrothermal zircon growth during multiple orogenic cycles in an evolving mantle wedge

The Hongseong area of the Hongseong-Imjingang Belt in the central-western Korean Peninsula forms part of a subduction-collision system that is correlated with the Qinling-Dabie-Sulu Belt in China. Several serpentinized ultramafic bodies carrying blocks of metamorphosed mafic rocks occur in this area. Here we investigate zircon grains in serpentinites from Bibong(BB) and Wonnojeon(WNJ), and high-pressure(HP) mafic granulite from Baekdong(BD) localities based on U-Pb, REE and Lu-Hf analyses. The zircons from BD HP mafic granulite show distinct age peaks at 838 Ma, 617 Ma and 410 Ma, with minor peaks at1867 Ma, 1326 Ma and 167 Ma. The Neoproterozoic age peaks in these rocks as well as in the serpentinites suggest subduction-related melt-fluid interaction in the mantle wedge at this time. The older zircon grains ranging in age from the Early to Middle Paleoproterozoic might represent detrital grains from the basement rocks transferred to the wedge mantle through sediment subduction. The BD HP mafic granulite shows a Middle Paleozoic age peak(Devonian; 410 Ma). The 242-245 Ma age peaks in the compiled age data of zircon grains serpentinites from BB and WNJ correspond to a major Triassic event that further added melts and fluids into the ancient mantle wedge to crystallize new zircons. In the chondrite normalized rare earth element diagram, the magmatic zircon grains from the studied rocks show LREE depletion and HREE enrichment with sharply negative Eu and Pr anomalies and positive Ce and Sm anomalies. The REE patterns of hydrothermal zircons show LREE enrichment, and relatively flat patterns with negative Eu anomaly. Zircon Hf signature from the WNJ serpentinite show negative εHf(t)(-18.5 and-23.5) values indicating an enriched mantle source with TDM in the range of 1614 Ma and1862 Ma. Zircons from the BD HP mafic granulite also show slightly negative εHf(t)(average-4.3) and TDM in the range of 1365-1935 Ma. Our study provides evidence for multiple zircon growth in an evolving mantle wedge that witnessed melt and fluid interaction during different orogenic cycles.     

西昆仑阿卡阿孜山岩体的年代、源区和构造意义

阿卡阿孜山岩体是西昆仑造山带中面积最大的花岗岩侵入体，主要由花岗闪长岩和二长花岗岩组成。对其中花岗闪长岩的黑云母^40Ar/^39Ar定年获得了精确的213Ma的表面年龄。这一结果与较早前根据单颗粒锆石U-Pb法获得的年龄结果在误差范围内一致，表明阿卡阿孜山岩体并非是一个多期次的复式岩基，而是同一次岩浆活动的产物。地球化学研究表明阿卡阿孜山岩体为次铝质－轻微过铝质的钙碱性－高钾钙碱性岩体，尽管花岗闪长岩和二长花岗岩之间存在化学组分上的差异，二均具有轻稀土富集的稀土分布模式和相似的微量元素特征。然而二的初始Sr同位素组成存在一定的差异，表明二长花岗岩并非是花册 长岩分异作用的产物。二的Sr-O的同位素共同构成了负相关，排除了在其形成过程中幔源岩浆介入的可能性，反映其源区为包含长英质组分和基性－超基性组分的增生楔物质。由于增生楔的部分熔融需要较高的能量输入，因而阿卡阿孜山岩体不大可能形成于与消减作用有关的大陆边缘环境。此次的黑云母^40Ar/^39Ar年龄十分接近早前的锆石U－Pb年龄，表明该岩体的冷却速率相当快，应反映一种碰撞后抬升的环境。这种环境的出现表明西昆仑古特提斯洋在晚三叠纪时已经闭合。     

西昆仑早古生代岩浆作用过程:布隆花岗岩地球化学和锆石U-Pb-Hf同位素组成研究

西昆仑布隆二长花岗岩出露于西昆仑库地蛇绿混杂岩两侧。地球化学特征显示,布隆二长花岗岩主要为高钾钙碱-钾玄岩系列、过铝质花岗岩(A/CNK=1.1)。岩石具有低的Rb/Sr(0.67～0.88)、Sr/Y比值(13.2～16.6),弱的负Eu异常(Eu/Eu^*=0.68～0.84)和中等Sr(214×10^-6～247×10^-6)、Rb含量(165×10^-6～191×10^-6),指示布隆二长花岗岩主要为黑云母和角闪石脱水熔融源区,其原岩可能来自于杂砂岩或壳源中性岩类。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果显示该花岗岩的结晶年龄为441±2 Ma(MSWD=0.33)。锆石的ε_Hf(t)值(平均值为-3.0)和Hf两阶段模式年龄值(1 493～1 116 Ma)反映该花岗岩来自于中新元古代地壳的熔融。新获得的资料显示,西昆仑早古生代花岗岩均发育于库地蛇绿混杂岩两侧,且具有多个期次: 507～500 Ma、471～468 Ma、447～430 Ma和408～404 Ma,推测西昆仑早古生代花岗岩为古特提斯洋在该地区长期俯冲的背景下形成的产物。
