一种假说：湛江港（湾）成因问题之思考

对湛江港（湾）的成因提出如下假说：1）第四纪晚更新世时期,湛江地区可能发生过一次天体撞击地球的突变事件,撞击地点在麻斜海;2）从撞击坑中升起的大量尘烟被风向北吹送,在湛江港（湾）以北地区沉落下来,形成了面积颇广、厚约50 cm的风成黄土层;3）受此撞击事件影响,南三岛分裂成3个小岛,还诱发了周边的火山活动;4）湛江港（湾）上端伸入陆地的溺谷湾区域,出现“X”形裂痕,该裂痕在其后的低海面时期,遭受地表流水的侵蚀作用而加深、拓宽,再于冰后期海侵时成为溺谷湾。以上猜想,主要依据对以下3方面的现象及问题的观察与思考得出：一是湛江以北大面积、铺天盖地而来的风成黄土源于何处;二是麻斜海象是一个“坑”,坑中物质及其周边环境有一些异常;三是湛江溺谷湾发育的基础像一条裂谷。     

中亚哈萨克斯坦南部VA黄土剖面过去～25 000 a来沉积地层特征

选取位于中亚哈萨克斯坦中南部的VA剖面作为研究对象,剖面厚7 m,野外采样以及实验分析间距均为5 cm。在AMS ¹⁴C测年基础上,综合野外地层考察和实验室指标（包括磁化率、碳酸盐、有机质和粒度）分析,结果表明：I：该剖面过去～25 000 ¹⁴C a BP以来地层主要可以分为五个地层单元：（1） ～26 000 ¹⁴C a BP—～22 000 ¹⁴C a BP,河流作用过的黄土层;（2） ～22 000 ¹⁴C a BP—～19 000 ¹⁴C a BP,潜育化的黄土层;（3） ～19 000 ¹⁴C a BP—～10 000 ¹⁴C aBP,弱土壤层;（4） ～10 000 ¹⁴C a BP—～5 000 ¹⁴C a BP,典型的黄土层;（5） 过去～5 000 ¹⁴C a BP以来,土壤层。II：将VA剖面与欧洲区以及东亚区黄土沉积对比发现：研究区过去～25 000 ¹⁴C a BP 以来地层沉积与欧洲黄土沉积类似,全新世地层序列与东亚区具有反相位关系：中亚区早全新世为黄土沉积,晚全新世发育土壤层,说明研究区过去25 000 ¹⁴C a以来主要受西风带和地中海气候控制,具有西风区气候特征。III：VA剖面MIS2记录到的潜育化黄土层以及弱土壤层显示研究区在MIS2时段气候相比东亚区更为湿润。     

非饱和黄土非线性K-G模型试验研究

K-G模型较之E-μ模型有较好的优越性,每个参数都能与土的剪切模量或体变模量直接联系,便于岩土工程的非线性理论和计算分析。以西部甘肃永登非饱和黄土为研究对象,进行大量不同湿度下的非饱和黄土常规三轴试验,获得不同初始饱和度下的K-G模型参数,进一步研究这些参数随初始饱和度的变化规律,建立模型参数和初始饱和度的相关表达式。在实际工程中,用测得的非饱和黄土的湿度指标,就可以得到黄土的K-G模型参数进行非饱和黄土的增湿数值模拟计算分析,避免吸力的量测和计算,具有一定的工程实际应用价值。     

郑西高速铁路豫西段黄土现场浸水自重湿陷特征研究

通过现场浸水试验,研究了郑西高速铁路豫西段典型黄土场地浸水后的自重湿陷特征,分析了湿陷土层深度随浸水时间的演化规律,判定了浸水水平向影响范围。研究表明：浸水边界对沉降的影响十分明显,浸水后的湿陷速率呈现出慢-快-慢直至稳定的特点,在浸水10 d后已完成总沉降量的60%,浸水30 d时完成总沉降量的约90%;该场地实测因地区土质而异的修正系数 为1.30,大于规范推荐的0.9,说明该地区黄土的湿陷程度比以往认识地更为强烈;该场地自重湿陷土层下限深度室内试验值是19 m,而现场实测值是16 m,前者是后者的1.2倍。通过综合判定,该场地浸水后的湿陷变形范围为距试坑边缘20 m,与试坑的直径相当,建议在郑西高速铁路沿线此类黄土场地,线路两侧20 m范围内不得积水。该研究成果已在郑西高速铁路建设中得到应用,也可为该地区类似工程提供参考。     

A call for Australian loess: discussion and commentary

A study of loess in Australia brings the idea of 'desert' loess back into view. Production of particles in deserts still presents problems, but deserts do make adequate storage regions for loess particles – usually produced in adjacent mountains. Straightforward for Central Asia or China (a particle source in High Asia and convenient deserts en route to eventual deposition), but the Sahara and Australian deserts traditionally present problems. If loess material is allowed to be silt-sized clay agglomerate particles as well as the usual clastic primary minerals, then loess in Australia seems reasonable. Loess acquires its remarkable loessic qualities via aeolian deposition – the nature of the particles is perhaps of lesser importance. A more generalised approach to airborne sediments might be attempted, with two major types of suspension material recognised: large dust (maybe coarse and very coarse silt, say 20–60 µm, or perhaps 4–6 phi) and small dust (fine and very fine silt, 2–8 µm, 7–9 phi). Loess is made from large dust.     

Chronology of the Holocene loess-paleosol section and its deposition and pedogenesis on the south of Chinese Loess Plateau

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating for polymineral fine-grained loess samples, collected in Laoguantai (LGT) section on the south of the Chinese Loess Plateau, was made by application of single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocol. A ‘Double-SAR’ procedure in which aliquots are subjected to both infrared (IR) and blue stimulations was used, and two sets of equivalent dose (De) determinations were produced and assumed to relate predominantly to feldspathic and quartz fine grain populations respectively. The OSL ages estimated from IRSL signals are smaller than those estimated from [post-IR] OSL signals due to the anomalous fading of feldspar IR signals, based on fading experiment. The young ages of the samples near ground surface may be originated from the post-depositional disturbance by the intensifying humanity’s cultivation since 3.0 ka BP in the Guanzhong Basin, south of the Chinese Loess Plateau. Based on OSL dating, as well as field observations and stratigraphic correlation, we determine the chronology of the LGT loess-paleosol sequence. In combination with climate proxy records, it is indicated that aeolian loess deposition and pedogenesis underwent polyphase changes during the Holocene, likely to have been driven by shifts in the East Asian monsoon. This suggests that aeolian loess deposition is episodic and highly variable, with contributions from non-aeolian processes such as alluvial deposition found in the area.     

Chemical weathering intensity and element migration features of the Xiashu loess profile in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province

The chemical weathering intensity and element migration features of the Xiashu loess profile in Zhenjiang are studied in this paper. (1) The Xiashu loess profile underwent moderate chemical weathering. It seems that the precipitation is a more important factor than the temperature in controlling the process of the chemical weathering. (2) The major elements such as Si, K, Na, Ca, Mg, Mn and P were migrated and leached, while the elements Fe and Ti were slightly enriched. The migration features of the major elements reveal that the Xiashu loess finished the primary process of chemical weathering characterized by leaching of Ca and Na, and almost reached the secondary process characterized by leaching of K. Except the elements Sr and Ga, other trace elements such as Th, Ba, Cu, Zn, Co, Ni, Cr and V were enriched. It might be caused by both the biogeochemical process and the adsorption of trace elements by clay mineral and organic materials. (3) The difference of element migration down the Xiashu loess profile reveals that the climate was warm and wet at the early-middle stage of the middle Pleistocene. At the end of the middle Pleistocene, it became dry and cool. At the early stage of the Late Pleistocene, the paleoclimate became warm and wet again. As a whole, the paleoclimate generally became drier and cooler in this region from the beginning of the middle Pleistocene.     

兰州九州重塑黄土的抗拉变形破坏机理

通过对不同干密度及含水量的重塑黄土进行室内抗拉强度试验,探究轴向压裂法致使试样破坏的机理及一般规律。结果表明,黄土的抗拉变形破坏可分为4种类型：I类,高干密度低含水量（干密度大于1.65 g·cm^-3,含水量小于15%）,抗拉强度介于8~12 kPa;Ⅱ类,低干密度低含水量（干密度小于1.60 g·cm^-3,含水量小于15%）,抗拉强度介于4~8 kPa;Ⅲ类,高干密度高含水量（干密度大于1.65 g·cm^-3,含水量大于17%）,抗拉强度介于4~8 kPa;IV类,低干密度高含水量（干密度小于1.60 g·cm^-3,含水量大于17%）,抗拉强度介于3~4 kPa。I类、Ⅱ类破坏类型属于脆性破坏,Ⅲ类、IV类属于塑性破坏。重塑黄土抵抗变形最弱的含水量为15%。通过对比分析黄土、普通黄黏土、红黏土及膨胀土的抗拉强度发现,在最优含水量处,不同干密度下黄土的抗拉强度均最小。黏性土的持水能力远超过黄土。黏土及膨胀土的抗拉强度均在最优含水量处达到最大值,而黄土的抗拉强度随着含水量的增加持续减小。研究结果对黄土强度特性的理解具有一定的参考意义。     

基于SRTM DEM的地形起伏度对天水市黄土滑坡的影响分析

以天水市辖区30 m分辨率的SRTM DEM数据为基础,首先利用GIS空间分析模块中邻域统计分析法,依次选取2×2、3×3、4×4、…、28×28、29×29、30×30共29个矩形邻域分析窗口,运用均值变点分析法进行最佳计算单元的计算分析。结果表明：12×12的网格大小（12.96×10⁴ m²）为曲线突变的拐点,作为曲线由陡变缓的阈值,确定12×12的网格大小（12.96×10⁴ m²）为研究区地形起伏度计算的最佳单元,生成研究区地形起伏度分级图。进而采用确定性系数法（CF）、证据权法、信息量法和条件概率法对研究区发育的黄土滑坡灾害与地形起伏度之间的相关关系进行了定量分析。研究结果表明,区内地形起伏度影响因子层中地形起伏度60~120 m的分级因子层为黄土滑坡灾害的易发因子层,而其中60~90 m区间的值最大,为黄土滑坡灾害的优势因子区间,对滑坡的响应最敏感。     

东乡县湿陷性黄土回填碾压的施工控制措施

针对东乡县湿陷性黄土回填碾压质量要求及控制工序,用运碾压厚度试验、含水率试验、碾压遍数试验、碾压速度试验等,从湿陷性黄土回填碾压的两个控制工序,即黄土回填和黄土碾压出发,全面系统的分析了压实度影响因素并提出了施工控制措施。研究表明,在相同压实条件下,适宜的回填厚度有益提高压实度质量和效益;确定最佳含水率后,在施工中不影响施工质量的前提下,相对扩大土的含水率控制范围,既能达到整体压实稳定,又能加快施工进度;在相同的回填条件下,同一深度的压实度随压实机械功能增大,压实度越高;在相同压实功能条件下,同一深度范围内碾压遍数越多,压实度越高;增加压实功能的办法提高土基强度的效果有一定限度,吨位增加到一定限度以上,效果提高愈为缓慢;碾压速度加倍时,碾压遍数相应加倍,应针对具体碾压材料层和所用压路机,通过铺筑试验区域选择合适的碾压速度。
