Surface conductivity in rocks: a review

Electrical properties of rocks depend on composition (i.e. bulk properties of the constituents), micro structure (i.e. geometrical arrangement of the constituents) and interfacial effects. We consider here a rock as a three component system — grains, pores, and interfaces — in order to account for the observed behaviour. We review first the main results relative to DC. conductivity. Surface conductivity effects show up clearly in the case of shaly formations or at low salinities. Although Archies' law (1942) and Waxman and Smits model (1968) are widely used, a more physically based model is that of Johnson and Sen (1988). We review also the variable frequency conductivity (complex conductivity) data and models. The important effect in that case is the enhancement of the dielectric constant at low frequencies (Knight and Nur, 1987) which can be interpreted as a geometrical effect although electrochemical interactions may also play an important role at low frequencies, depending on the rock type.     

Dynamic of the freshwater–saltwater interface in a karstic aquifer under extraordinary recharge action: the Merida Yucatan case study

A hydraulic analysis of the interface between freshwater–saltwater behavior was done in the Merida Yucatan zone, two machines that constantly register the groundwater levels were installed, and three electric conductivity logs were taken from wells. When comparing the measured results with the ones obtained using theoretical equations developed to calculate the freshwater–saltwater interface position, it was proved that in some cases these equations can be applied, and in others not. Two effects that rule the behavior of karst aquifers in extraordinary conditions were found.     

A device for measuring downwearing rates on cohesive shore platforms

The device described in this paper, known as the traversing erosion beam, is believed to be the first to be designed specifically for measuring rates of downwearing of cohesive foreshores, such as clay shore platforms, under high‐energy wave conditions. It is primarily constructed of Flexlink Aluminium Structural System components and consists of a horizontal beam with a main leg and two further support legs. A sliding ‘dolly’ module is moved along the beam at precise intervals using a longitudinal scale as a reference. The topographic profile of the measurement surface is transferred to the dolly by a vertical sliding steel alloy rod, from which the relative height differences are measured by a separate engineer's digital height gauge placed on the dolly. The main leg of the device fits into a marine grade stainless steel box, which is deeply embedded into the foreshore or shore platform to act a permanent datum. The box is robust and can be expected to have a lifetime of at least a year, and possibly even five years or more. Sample data are provided from a clay shore platform at Warden Point in the Isle of Sheppey, Kent (UK), which demonstrate that the TEB can provide information on seasonal as well as annual rates of downwearing. The device has also been tested successfully on a peat and clay foreshore at Pett Level in Sussex and on a shore platform cut in glacial till at Easington, Yorkshire.

开放式地理信息系统(OpenGIS)与互操作技术分析

地理信息系统技术在取得巨大发展的同时，其孤立性、封闭性的缺陷越来越不适合现代信息社会的要求，开放式地理信息系统（OpenGIS）规范和互操作技术的提出，不仅为数据共享提供了崭新的思路，而且将GIS带入了开放的时代，从而使得各个系统间实现不同类型地理数据和地理处理方法的透明访问成为可能。本文主要就OpenGIS规范和互操作技术作了一些探讨，最后结合我国的实际情况，分析了OpenGIS在我国的应用现状与未来展望。

硫化物固—液界面电化学效应实验探讨

硫化物作为一类重要的常见矿物，目前国内外对其表面矿物学特征研究有限。具体到硫化物固－液界面处的行为机理，前人的研究程度就更低了。笔者自行设计了一个Fe1-xS-Cr^6 原电池，通过实测电动势（E），t-E关系曲线，溶液可见光吸收谱及其λ－A关系曲线，阐明硫化物与Cr^6＋溶液间的界面行为机理。认为其界面行为过程为；硫化物溶解→离子反应（氧化还原）→吸附Cr^3 。该原电池与一般原电池结构不同，其主要差别在于将反应电极和测量电极分开，从而解决电极反应过程中的浓度极化问题，提高了电化学实验的精度。该研究成果有助于揭示矿物－液体相互作用机理，完善和丰富表面矿物学研究内容，深化化界面成矿理论，并对环境治理，矿物材料应用等开发领域具有重要的参考价值。     

岩体与锚固体间粘结强度的确定

在预应力锚索设计参数的确定中，岩体与锚固体间粘结强度的确定是其十分重要的环节。现有的确定方法大多基于经验与现场试验的结合，费时费工，故有必要根据已有的试验资料确定一种定量方法。通过对国内30余例工程的统计分析表明，岩体与锚固体的粘强度不仅与岩石单轴抗压强度有关，还与内锚固段裂隙的分布与性质有关。通过室内外试验进一步建立了适合国内岩体质量指标确定的粘结强度经验公式与内锚段长度设计系数的图系，同时，也可为岩锚加固数值仿真提供经验判据。实例计算表明，所提供的确定方法与岩锚试验结果较为吻合。
