Thermal evolution of the Ryoke metamorphic belt, southwestern Japan: Tectonic and numerical modeling

Abstract The Ryoke metamorphic belt of southwestern Japan is composed of Cretaceous Ryoke granitoids and associated metamorphic rocks of low-pressure facies series. The Ryoke granitoids are divided into sheet-like bodies (e.g. Gamano granodiorite) and stock-like bodies. The Gamano granodiorite intruded concordantly into the high-grade metamorphic rocks without development of a contact metamorphic aureole, and the intrusion ages of the granodiorite are similar to the ages of thermal peak of the low pressure (low-P) metamorphism. It is suggested that the low-P Ryoke metamorphism resulted from the intrusion of the Gamano granodiorite. In this study, a simple 1-D numerical model of conductive heat transfer was used to evaluate the thermal effects of emplacement of the Gamano granodiorite. Calculated temperature-time ( T-t ) paths are characterized by a rapid increase of metamorphic temperature and a relatively short-lived period of high temperature. For example, the T-t path at the 15-km depth is characterized by a rapid average increase in temperature of 1.4 × 10-³°C/year and high temperatures for < ca 0.5 Ma. The calculated peak temperature for each depth is nearly equal to the petrologically estimated value for each correlated metamorphic zone. The results suggest that the magma-intrusion model is one possible thermal model for low-pressure facies series metamorphism.     

Deterministic sliding block methods for estimating seismic displacements of earth structures

A review and quantitative comparison of existing deterministic sliding block methods for predicting permanent displacements of earth structures subjected to seismic loading is presented. The reviewed sliding block methods are divided into two main groups based on the characteristic earthquake parameters referenced in each method. One group uses the maximum horizontal ground acceleration and velocity, and the other uses the maximum horizontal ground acceleration and the predominant period of the acceleration spectrum. Displacement functions published by previous authors are reformulated to give common non-dimensionalized displacement functions of the critical acceleration ratio which are then used to compare the different methods for the estimate of permanent seismic displacement of soil structures. The results show that despite the fact that the different methods were formulated using a wide range of earthquake records and different characteristic seismic parameters, permanent displacement values predicted using these methods fall within a reasonably narrow band. Selected acceleration data from three recent earthquakes that occurred in California are used to evaluate and compare the accuracy of the reviewed displacement methods for practical applications.

南海双船地震勘探介绍

双船地震法包括ESP和SAP法是研究地壳深部结构和构造的有效方法.本文介绍了这两种方法资料处理的主要问题和步骤.预处理工作主要是解决在海洋动态环境下,两船和两套系统同时工作带来的一系列与定位、计时和地震系统有关的问题.着重介绍了用ESP的τ-p记录及x-t域记录进行速度分析的各种方法,它们大都不受反射波时距曲线是双曲线假设的限制.各种方法有各自的特点和限制,用户可根据实际工作的条件和需要选用.SAP的资料处理按四个子系统分别进行,处理方法与一般水平叠加剖面的常规处理相同,获得高质量剖面的关键是求准各层速度得到符合实际情况的叠加速度文件.仔细对比四个子剖面,反复进行处理,最后再有条件地将四个子剖面合成浅、中、深都清晰的合成排列剖面.在资料处理和解释过程中,两种方法相互配合、互为补充.
