不排水抗剪强度非平稳随机场模拟及边坡可靠度分析

边坡可靠度分析中通常假定采用平稳或准平稳随机场表征土体参数的空间变异性,然而大量现场试验数据表明,土体参数如不排水抗剪强度沿土体埋深常呈现明显的非平稳分布特征,即其均值和标准差均随埋深发生变化,因此亟需发展土体参数非平稳随机场模型及其模拟方法。针对目前不能有效单独模拟土体参数趋势分量和随机波动分量的不确定性,提出了一种有效的不排水抗剪强度参数非平稳随机场模型,并给出了土体参数二维非平稳随机场模拟方法计算流程,同时将新提出的模型与现有非平稳随机场模型及平稳随机场模型进行了系统比较。最后通过不排水饱和黏土边坡算例验证了提出模型的有效性,并揭示了不排水抗剪强度非平稳分布特征对边坡可靠度的影响规律。结果表明：提出模型能够有效地单独模拟土体参数趋势分量和随机波动分量的不确定性,考虑土体参数均值和标准差随埋深增加而增大的特性,可为表征土体参数非平稳分布特征提供了一条有效的途径。此外,与采用非平稳随机场模拟土体参数空间变异性相比,采用常用的平稳随机场模型会低估边坡失效概率,从而造成偏危险的边坡工程设计方案。     

Towards error‐free hybrid simulation using mixed variables

Two procedures are developed and implemented in a hybrid simulation system (HSS) with the aim of enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the online, i.e. pseudo‐dynamic, test results. The first procedure aims at correcting the experimental systematic error in executing the displacement command signal. The error is calculated as the difference between command and feedback signals and correlated to the actuator velocity using the least‐squares method. A feed‐forward error compensation scheme is devised leading to a more accurate execution of the test. The second procedure employs mixed variables with mode switching between displacement and force controls. The newly derived force control algorithm is evaluated using a parametric study to assess its stability and accuracy. The implementation of the mixed variables procedure is designed to adopt force control for high stiffness states of the structural response and displacement control otherwise, where the resolution of the involved instruments may favour this type of mixed control. A simple pseudo‐dynamic experiment of steel cantilever members is used to validate the HSS. Moreover, two experiments as application examples for the two developed procedures are presented. The two experiments focus on the seismic response of (a) timber shear walls and (b) reinforced concrete frames with and without unreinforced masonry infill wall.

A comparison of tectonic ambient shear stress value in China with that in western USA

Introduction The stress status of the earths crust is closely related to global structure, the direction of plate movement, the drive mechanism of plate, earthquake cause, etc. Therefore the researches of the stress status of the earths crust and the process of dynamic evolution are paid a great attention to by many people around the world (Zoback, Zoback, 1980; Zoback, et al, 1989; Zoback, 1989; Spence, 1997; Fuchs, 1997; Plenefish, Bonjer, 1997; Muller, et al, 1997; XU, et al, 1989; WAN…     

重力方法研究河南区域构造及控煤作用

河南地区存在三个明显的重力异常区,与其区内三个次一级的构造分区相一致,其重力异常曲线的挤压扭曲特征、剪切平移特征、张性舒展特征分别对应构造挤压变形机制、平移剪切机制及变形拉张机制。这些变形受印支、燕山及喜马拉雅期三大构造运动控制,其中印支期剥蚀及沉降程度是构成现今煤层埋藏条件的重要因素,燕山期形成河南煤田的逆冲推覆型控煤构造,喜马拉雅期构造运动,最终确立了河南煤系的展布范围及赋存状态,这表明控煤模式是构造运动的结果。     

双轴压缩条件下颗粒材料中力链的演化

针对无黏性颗粒材料,开展了柔性边界双轴压缩数值试验,分析了不同围压下力链的数量、方向概率等随轴向应变的变化。研究结果表明：不断加载使得游离的高应力颗粒有所减少,荷载更多的被力链承担;统计意义上,力链最大长度为9个颗粒。轴向±30o范围内力链概率随应变的发展与偏应力一致,而与其邻接的[40o,60o]和[120o,140o]两个方向上的力链概率随应变的发展与偏应力相反;双轴试样剪切破坏时有单剪切带和双剪切带两种模式,当[40o,60o]和[120o,140o]两个角度区间的力链概率有较大差异时,剪切带出现在力链较少的角度区间;当这两个角度区间力链概率接近时,试样中将出现两个剪切带。     

考虑各向异性的原状软黏土微观结构变化机制研究

采用电镜扫描仪（SEM）对在复杂应力路径作用下剪切前后的黏土样进行微观观察,并从剪切前后孔隙排列、孔隙形态、孔隙尺度变化特征3方面分析宏观试验原状软黏土归一化抗剪强度各向异性的微观本质。试验表明：剪切前后孔隙排列无序,孔隙排列方向变化很小,对黏土宏观性质影响很小;当中主应力参数b=0时,剪切过程中孔隙形态的变化对剪切后黏土归一化抗剪强度表现出的各向异性贡献较大;当b =0.5时,剪切过程中孔隙尺度的变化对剪切后黏土归一化抗剪强度表现出的各向异性贡献较大。因此,当中主应力参数不同时,影响剪切后黏土归一化抗剪强度各向异性的土的微观变化因素不同。     

Shallow earthquakes in a viscoelastic shear zone with depth-dependent friction and rheology

Summary. Most crustal earthquakes of the world are observed to occur within a seismogenic layer which extends from the Earth's surface to a depth of a few tens of kilometres at most. A model is proposed in which the shear zone along a transcurrent plate margin is represented as a viscoelastic medium with depth-dependent power-law rheology. A frictional resistance linearly increasing with depth is assumed on a vertical transcurrent fault within the shear zone. Such a model is able to reproduce a continuous transition from the brittle behaviour of the upper crust to the ductile behaviour at depth. Assuming that the shear zone is subjected to a constant strain rate from the opposite motions of the two adjacent plates, it is found that there exists a maximum depth H below which tectonic stress can never reach the frictional threshold: this may be identified as the maximum depth of earthquake nucleation. The value of H is consistent with observations for plausible values of the model parameters. The stress evolution in the shear zone is calculated in the linear approximation of the constitutive equation. A change in rigidity with depth, which is also introduced in the model, may reproduce the high vertical gradient of shear stress, which has been measured across the San Andreas fault, and the fact that most earthquakes are nucleated at some depth in the seismogenic layer. A crack which drops the ambient stress to the dynamic frictional level is then introduced in the model. To this aim, a crack solution is employed without a stress singularity at its edges, which is compatible with a frictional stress threshold criterion for fracture. A constraint on the vertical friction gradient is obtained if such cracks are assumed to be entirely confined within the seismogenic layer.     

青藏高原东北缘大陆岩石圈现今变形和位移

川青地块在地貌上为川西高原,亦是青藏高原东北边缘最重要的构造单元。新的GPS监测资料表明,在欧亚框架内,川青地块及其邻近的龙门山带和华南地块西缘的地壳运动水平速度,具有自西向东由25.66mm/a递变下降到6.99mm/a的总趋势。速度矢量表现出顺时针涡旋转动。川青地块内具有局部应变积累的非均一的区域剪切。横切鲜水河断裂带中段新的GPS测量结果揭示,两侧地块间的平均左旋滑动速率约8mm/a;由于局部应变积累,断裂系南西侧的主断裂的移动速率为9.3mm/a,其间为拉分盆地和小的横向伸展断裂。鲜水河断裂系的左旋断裂滑动作用,调节了川青地块与川滇地块之间的相对运动。     

Discrimination between nuclear explosions and earthquakes based on consideration of tectonic ambient shear stress values

IntroductionFor the need of a nuclear test ban treaty, international society must make great efforts to find effective methods for discrimination between earthquake and nuclear explosion. Thereupon, many methods of discrimination of nuclear explosion appeared. But, at present, there is some uncertainty to discriminate middle or small nuclear explosion (Peppin, McEvilly, 1974; Richards, Zarales, 1990). When we study tectonic ambient shear stress field of Southern California, we find that str…     

甘肃滴水山金矿不同构造岩相带岩石地球化学特征及构造控矿机理探讨

滴水山金矿床位于北祁连加里东褶皱带的西段,分布于北西西向剪切带内,通过野外实地观察和镜下鉴定、样品测试,对该剪切带内Au2矿体构造-岩相特征及其地球化学元素变化特征进行了研究,结果表明：①该剪切带存在2期变形,早期为由北向南斜冲的韧-脆性剪切变形,晚期为斜向下滑的脆性变形。②根据元素分析结果,Au元素含量从安山质晶屑凝灰岩带→糜棱岩化安山质晶屑凝灰岩带→蚀变碎裂岩带→金矿化蚀变碎裂岩带逐步增高。根据相关性分析,Au与Ag相关性最好,其次为Pb、Mo,与As、Hg相关性一般。研究认为,滴水山金矿床北西西向剪切带早期韧-脆性变形有利于成矿元素的活化迁移,为Au元素的运移和初步富集提供了通道,晚期脆性变形主要形成各种张裂隙和构造破碎带,由于构造体制发生转换,导致Au元素的再次富集形成金矿体。
