Lateral spreading: Evidence and interpretation from the 2010–2011 Christchurch earthquakes

In the 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquakes widespread liquefaction occurred over nearly half of the urban area of Christchurch. The most severe damage to buildings and infrastructure was often associated with lateral spreading and consequent large ground distortion and permanent ground displacements. This paper presents analysis, results and interpretation of lateral spreads using measurements from detailed ground surveying at a large number of locations along the Avon River. Classification of lateral spreads based on the magnitude and spatial distribution of permanent ground displacements is first presented, and then key characteristics of soil layers and ground conditions associated with different classes of lateral spreads are identified and discussed. Evidence of both global effects from topographic features and local effects related to density, thickness and continuity of critical layers is presented highlighting the need for a systematic approach in the engineering evaluation of lateral spreading in which particular attention is given to key factors governing lateral spreading.     

2013年前郭震群5次MS≥5.0地震远场地震波辐射能特征研究

2013年吉林松原前郭震群是一次典型的爆发式强震群活动,前郭震群MS≥5.0的5次主要地震事件呈现出了较为特殊的起伏特征。本文基于震源谱理论及震群型地震的特点,研究了该震群5次主要地震事件的远场地震波辐射能的特征。选取国家级台站长春台（CN2）,针对前郭震群的地震动观测记录,分析观测记录的时间域、频率域特征,结合考虑震群型地震地震动谱和震源谱参数的关系,计算5次地震事件的远场地震波辐射能,并进一步定量化地描述其在震源谱及地震波辐射能等方面的差异。研究结果表明,前郭震群中5次主要地震事件的第2次地震事件（No.2）为整个震群的转折点,其震级上表现出来的衰减特征与其地震波能量释放特征呈现出了明显的非一致性;实际上,No.2事件是前郭震群中最重要的一次事件,主要表现为相对低的震级和相对高的远场地震波辐射能。     

河北兴济台地电阻率年变特征分析

基于电测深曲线反演结果,利用地电阻率转换函数的递推公式定量模拟分析了地下水位对兴济台地电阻率的影响。结果表明,地下水位下降会造成地电阻率上升,这与兴济台N30°E向的地电阻率观测结果相符;N60°W向的地电阻率的趋势变化与N30°E向的相反,且年变幅较大,这是由于测区供电极和测量极之间存在因取土而积水成坑这个局部异常体引起的。     

探地雷达FDTD数值模拟中不分裂卷积完全匹配层对倏逝波的吸收效果研究

介绍了CPML边界条件的原理,推导了CPML的GPR正演FDTD差分公式,对比分析了Berenger PML、UPML、CPML三种PML对倏逝波的吸收性能.开展了PML边界中关键参数κ和α的选取实验,确定了参数的取值范围与选取原则.然后,以二维TM波为例,研究了倏逝波产生的机理,分析了决定逝波性吸收性能的影响因素.均匀介质的波场快照、检测点的反射误差及全局反射误差对比,说明了3种边界条件对传输波都具有较好的吸收能力,而对低频倏逝波的吸收表现迥异,其中CPML因为引入了参数α,对倏逝波的吸收效果最佳,但离散化造成的全域误差也最大.最后,应用加载UPML和CPML边界条件的FDTD程序,开展了GPR二维剖面法、宽角法矩状地电模型及三维复杂模型的正演,展示了倏逝波反射对雷达正演剖面及波场快照的影响.进一步对比了UPML与CPML对倏逝波的吸收表现优劣,结果显示,CPML可有效减少边界反射误差,并能取得满意的精度,综合考虑对倏逝波的吸收、全域误差、编程难易程度等因素,在GPR正演中推荐使用CPML.     

Experimental analysis of track-ground vibrations on a stretch of the Portuguese railway network

This paper presents a comprehensive experimental campaign developed on a stretch of the Portuguese railway network. The experimental work includes three fundamental and complementary components: the characterization of the ground, the characterization of the track and the measurement of the vibrations generated by railway traffic. The characterization of the ground was performed using a combination of conventional and geophysical tests (cross-hole and SASW). The mechanical characterization of the track was performed through receptance tests and the rail unevenness profile was accurately measured. The vibrations due to the passage of more than 20 trains were measured. First, a selection of the results is presented and analysed in detail; later, the variability of the responses is briefly discussed. The presented data may be used by other researchers (e.g. in the validation of their prediction models), since it can be downloaded from www.fe.up.pt/~csf/DataCarregado.zip.     

Numerical modelling of drop load tests

Assessment of the attenuation of induced vibrations in the ground plays an important role in evaluating comfort and structural safety. Analytical and empirical wave attenuation relationships of increasing complexity and detail are presented in the paper, as well as a numerical model that accurately reproduces wave attenuation for a well-documented site, namely the one of the Tower of Pisa, Italy. A new source model is calibrated on near-field data and used as input for the dynamic coupled consolidation finite element analysis to achieve a satisfactory simulation. The accuracy of simpler analytical and empirical approaches is then comprehensively assessed through comparison with the validated numerical model and the field data obtained from geophones at various distances from the impact source.     

Liquefaction countermeasures by shallow ground improvement for houses and their cost analysis

A large number of houses suffered from liquefaction-induced damages in recent large earthquakes due to lack of economical countermeasures. In this study, the shallow ground improvement, up to several meters deep, was proposed as an economical liquefaction countermeasure for houses. Based on the case studies, the design criteria of allowable tilt angles and penetration settlements of houses were proposed for the required level of serviceability against moderate and large earthquakes. The results of questionnaire survey, airborne LiDAR survey and centrifuge model tests demonstrated that even a few meters of non-liquefiable layers in shallow ground could greatly reduce settlements and tilting of houses. A series of numerical analyses indicated that non-liquefiable layer of three meters thick below ground water table improved by solidification methods can prevent significant damages of houses. Furthermore, cost analyses were carried out for different ground improvement methods for both new and existing houses.     

Ground subsidence due to uniform fluid extraction over a circular region within an aquifer

This paper examines the ground subsidence caused by the uniform extraction of fluids from a disc-shaped region located within a poroelastic halfspace. Biot’s theory of poroelasticity is used to examine the problem. The fluid extraction over the circular region at the interior of the poroelastic domain induces time-dependent axisymmetric surface settlements. The theoretical results are also used to examine the accuracy of a multi-physics computational scheme that can be used to examine more complex geological settings.     

广西岩溶区工程地质灾害及场地处理

为减小岩溶区地质灾害带来的损失,以广西岩溶区为例,分析了广西岩溶地质的分布特点,对广西岩溶区的工程地质灾害进行研究分类,对岩溶区工程场地处理方法进行研究,综述了地表封闭防渗法、地面下加固处理法、结构物跨越法三大方法的原理、实施效果和实用性。研究发现:由于降雨和地下岩石类别差异等因素,广西的岩溶分布类型具有强烈的地域特性,形成了三大岩溶地貌特征;产生岩溶区地质灾害最主要的诱因是地下水的变化,重要工程中定时定点监控地下水变化十分重要;广西的岩溶区溶洞和土洞塌陷主要是人为因素造成的。
