Seasonally frozen soil effects on the dynamic behavior of highway bridges

Frozen ground is significantly stiffer than unfrozen ground. For bridges supported on deep foundations, bridge stiffness is also measurably higher in winter months. Significant changes due to seasonal freezing in bridge pier boundary conditions require additional detailing in order to ensure a ductile performance of the bridge during a design earthquake event. This paper reports the latest results obtained from a project that systematically investigated the effects of seasonally frozen soil on the seismic behavior of highway bridges in cold regions. A bridge was chosen and was monitored to study its seismic performance and assess the impact of seasonally frozen soil on its dynamic properties. A Finite Element (FE) model was created for this bridge to analyze the impact of seasonal frost. It was found that when frost depth reaches 1.2 m, the first transverse modal frequency increases about 200% when compared with the no-frost case. The results show that seasonal frost has a significant impact on the overall dynamic behavior of bridges supported by pile foundations in cold regions, and that these effects should be accounted for in seismic design.     

滇东北富乐铅锌矿床微量元素和S-Pb同位素地球化学研究

富乐铅锌矿床位于我国西南川滇黔铅锌多金属矿集区的东南部,矿体呈层状、透镜状赋存于中二叠统阳新组白云岩中,受层间破碎带控制。该矿床铅锌金属资源量超过50万吨,铅锌平均品位大于15. 6%。碳酸盐岩围岩溶蚀、重结晶和热液角砾岩化是该矿床普遍发育的热液蚀变类型,是酸性热液流体与碳酸盐岩围岩化学反应的结果。热液白云岩在成矿期前、成矿期和成矿期后都可形成,晚期形成的热液白云岩往往会部分替换早期形成的白云石,热液沿裂隙充填过程中,会引起围岩重结晶作用,形成明显的蚀变晕。矿石中主要硫化物包括闪锌矿、方铅矿和黄铁矿,伴有少量的黄铜矿和黝铜矿,白云石和方解石是主要脉石矿物。矿石的主要构造有致密块状、浸染状、脉状和角砾状。本次工作在富乐矿床厘定出三种颜色闪锌矿,即黑色、红色和棕色。LA-ICPMS研究表明,三种颜色闪锌矿中Cd、Cu、Ga和Ge等元素不同程度富集,而Fe、Mn和In等元素有不同程度亏损。在LA-ICPMS时间分辨率剖面图中,上述元素均呈水平直线出现,与Zn和S等主要元素的含量曲线平行,表明它们可能以类质同象形式赋存于闪锌矿中。而Sb、Pb和Ag等元素在LA-ICPMS时间分辨率剖面图中,呈较大波动趋势,暗示这些元素可能以微细粒包体存在,这与显微观测发现闪锌矿中有方铅矿微小矿物颗粒相吻合。本研究初步认为富乐闪锌矿颜色可能是Ni、Cu、Tl、Ga、Hg、Fe和Cr等多种元素共同引起的,其中Ni、Cu和Ga使闪锌矿呈紫色,Cu使闪锌矿呈红色,Ga使闪锌矿呈黄色。三种颜色闪锌矿样品的硫同位素组成变化较小,其δ~(34)S值变化范围为12. 2‰～14. 6‰,具有富集34S特征,与二叠系海相硫酸盐的δ~(34)S值相似,暗示热化学硫酸盐还原作用(TSR)可能是该矿床HS~-或S~(2-)离子形成的主要机制。不同颜色闪锌矿的~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb、~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb和~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb值分别为15. 604～15. 737、18. 570～18. 732和38. 532～38. 667。大部分闪锌矿的Pb同位素组成与基底昆阳群浅变质岩石的Pb同位素组成相似,少量闪锌矿具有与峨眉山玄武岩和赋矿沉积岩相似的Pb同位素组成,表明富乐铅锌矿床的成矿金属主要来源于基底岩石,并可能受到沉积岩和玄武岩的影响。综上所述,本文认为富乐铅锌矿床是一个形成于挤压背景下、受层间构造控制的高品位、富分散元素后生碳酸盐岩容矿型铅锌矿床。     

腈菌唑在茶园土壤中的对映体选择性降解与碳同位素分馏

运用对映体分馏分析(EFA)与单体同位素分析(CSIA)技术研究了三唑类杀菌剂腈菌唑在4种不同种植年限茶园土壤中的对映体选择性降解规律。腈菌唑的降解符合一级反应动力学方程,半衰期为28.4~70.5 d。4种茶园土壤中均表现为(+)腈菌唑优先降解,并均有碳同位素富集,表明发生了显著的微生物降解。腈菌唑在茶园土壤中的降解半衰期和对映体比在50年茶园土中最小,显著低于100年、20年和2年茶园土壤(P<0.05)。降解半衰期与砂粒含量显著相关(P<0.05),对映体选择性与粉粒含量显著相关(P<0.05)。运用Rayleigh方程计算各土壤中腈菌唑的碳同位素富集因子,并建立生物降解评估模型。应用两种方法评估生物降解所得结果与总降解率趋势相同。     

基于离散元方法对走滑拉分盆地演化及次级断裂扩展过程研究

拉分盆地是一种与走滑断裂带密切相关的特殊拉张构造,因其重要的构造意义,及其与火山活动、中小地震群集、特殊的成矿作用间的伴生关系而受到研究者的高度重视。关于拉分盆地的形成演化过程,已有较多的研究成果,但是由于研究手段的限制,缺少对盆地演化中次级断裂扩展过程的研究。基于离散元的数值计算方法是研究断裂扩展方式的理想方法。本文采用基于离散元的颗粒流方法,揭示纯走滑拉分盆地发育过程中的断裂扩展和连接过程,为拉分盆地演化机理和断裂扩展提供新的研究方法。同时,根据主走滑断层与块体运动方向的夹角不同,建立不同的张扭性拉分盆地模型,系统研究张扭性盆地的断裂扩展和演化机理。将上述理论研究结果与死海盆地等经典拉分盆地实例相结合,探讨了死海盆地、土耳其Cinarcik盆地、哥伦比亚El Paraiso盆地等的形成演化机理和断裂扩展方式。      

Calibration of oxygen isotope fractionation and calcite-corundum thermometry in emery at Naxos,Greece

Corundum (Crn), including sapphire, occurs in emery pods surrounded by marble on the island of Naxos, Greece. The emery formed from bauxite deposited in karst that was metamorphosed to 400–700°C at 20–15 Ma. Many of these rocks initially appeared well suited for refractory accessory mineral (RAM) thermometry, which uses oxygen isotope fractionation between a RAM – corundum – and a modally dominant phase with faster diffusion of oxygen – calcite (Cc) – to determine peak metamorphic temperatures. However, previous attempts at oxygen isotope thermometry were confounded by highly variable fractionations (Δ¹⁸O) measured at mm-scale and the uncertain calibration of Δ¹⁸O(Cc-Crn) versus temperature. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) permits in situ analysis of δ¹⁸O in corundum and calcite at the 10-μm scale in adjacent grains where textures suggest peak metamorphic equilibrium was attained. SIMS analyses of adjacent mineral pairs in eight rocks yield values of Δ(Cc-Crn) that systematically decrease from 7.2 to 2.9‰ at higher metamorphic grade. Pairing these data with independent temperature estimates from mineral isograds yields an empirical calibration of 1,000 lnα(Cc-Crn) = 2.72 ± 0.3 × 10⁶/T² (T in K). The new fractionations (2.7‰ at 1,000 K) are significantly smaller than those calculated from the modified increment method (6.5‰ at 1,000 K; Zheng, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1991, 55:2299–2307; Zheng, Mineral Mag, 1994, 58A:1000–1001), which yield unreasonably high temperatures of 630 to 1,140°C when applied to the new Naxos data. The new calibration of Δ(Cc-Crn) can be combined with published fractionations to calculate A-factors for corundum versus a range of 14 other minerals. These new fractionation factors can be used for thermometry or to constrain the genesis of corundum. A compilation of gem corundum δ¹⁸O values shows that many igneous sapphires, including important deposits of basalt-associated sapphire, are mildly elevated in δ¹⁸O relative to the calculated range in equilibrium with mantle values (4.4–5.7‰) and formed from evolved magmas.

Controlling factors on the charging process of oil and gas in the eastern main sub-sag of the Baiyun Sag,Zhujiang River (Pearl River) Mouth Basin

The eastern main sub-sag (E-MSS) of the Baiyun Sag was the main zone for gas exploration in the deep-water area of the Zhujiang River (Pearl River) Mouth Basin at its early exploration stage, but the main goal of searching gas in this area was broken through by the successful exploration of the W3-2 and H34B volatile oil reservoirs, which provides a new insight for exploration of the Paleogene oil reservoirs in the E-MSS. Nevertheless, it is not clear on the distribution of “gas accumulated in the upper layer, oil accumulated in the lower layer” (Gas_upper-Oil_lower) under the high heat flow, different source-rock beds, multi-stages of oil and gas charge, and multi-fluid phases, and not yet a definite understanding of the genetic relationship and formation mechanism among volatile oil, light oil and condensate gas reservoirs, and the migration and sequential charge model of oil and gas. These puzzles directly lead to the lack of a clear direction for oil exploration and drilling zone in this area. In this work, the PVT fluid phase, the origin of crude oil and condensate, the secondary alteration of oil and gas reservoirs, the evolution sequence of oil and gas formation, the phase state of oil and gas migration, and the configuration of fault activity were analyzed, which established the migration and accumulation model of Gas_upper-Oil_lower co-controlled by source and heat, and fractionation controlled by facies in the E-MSS. Meanwhile, the fractionation evolution model among common black reservoirs, volatile reservoirs, condensate reservoirs and gas reservoirs is discussed, which proposed that the distribution pattern of Gas_upper-Oil_lower in the E-MSS is controlled by the generation attribute of oil and gas from source rocks, the difference of thermal evolution, and the fractionation controlled by phases after mixing the oil and gas. Overall, we suggest that residual oil reservoirs should be found in the lower strata of the discovered gas reservoirs in the oil-source fault and diapir-developed areas, while volatile oil reservoirs should be found in the deeper strata near the sag with no oil-source fault area.
