Influence of structural parameters on dynamic characteristics and wind-induced buffeting responses of a super-long-span cable-stayed bridge

A 3D finite element (FE) model for the Sutong cable-stayed bridge (SCB) is established based on ANSYS. The dynamic characteristics of the bridge are analyzed using a subspace iteration method. Based on recorded wind data, the measured spectra expression is presented using the nonlinear least-squares regression method. Turbulent winds at the bridge site are simulated based on the spectral representation method and the FFT technique. The influence of some key structural parameters and measures on the dynamic characteristics of the bridge are investigated. These parameters include dead load intensity, as well as vertical, lateral and torsional stiffness of the steel box girder. In addition, the influence of elastic stiffness of the connection device employed between the towers and the girder on the vibration mode of the steel box girder is investigated. The analysis shows that all of the vertical, lateral and torsional buffeting displacement responses reduce gradually as the dead load intensity increases. The dynamic characteristics and the structural buffeting displacement response of the SCB are only slightly affected by the vertical and torsional stiffness of the steel box girder, and the lateral and torsional buffeting displacement responses reduce gradually as the lateral stiffness increases. These results provide a reference for dynamic analysis and design of super-long-span cable-stayed bridges.     

Sub-Daily Earth Rotation Parameters and the International GPS Service Orbit/Clock Solution Products

Tidally induced sub-daily Earth Rotation Parameters (ERP) variations, when not properly accounted for, can cause apparent orbit and ERP rate errors, which can significantly exceed the IGS solution errors. All International GPS Service (IGS) Analysis Centers currently apply the conventional sub-daily ERP model in their transformations from ITRF (International Terrestrial Reference Frame) to ICRF (International Celestial Reference Frame), both of which are used for IGS global analyses. However, some IGS Analysis Centers did not apply the sub-daily ERP model when transforming ICRF orbit solutions to ITRF, which is used for IGS orbit/clock products. This transformation inconsistency can cause significant orbit RMS differences that could exceed the 5-cm level. Independent ERP rate solutions are sensitive even to small errors in the sub-daily ERP model, and can be used to verify the sub-daily ERP model at, or below 0.1 mas/day precision level.The Precise Point Positioning (PPP) via precise station position solutions with the IGS orbit/clock combined products, provides an ideal interface to access the IGS realization of ITRF. PPP also yields precise station clock and tropospheric zenith delays (TZD) solutions, all at the sub-cm precision level. However, when using IGS orbit/clock products it is important that the same convention be used with respect to sub-daily ERP. Otherwise, the solutions of station navigation positions, station clocks and TZD's will be affected by significant errors that could exceed the 1-cm level.     

comprehensive study on the changing process of focal mechanisms of the 2014 huoshan ms4.3 earthquake sequence

In this paper, the focal mechanisms of Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake sequence since October 2013 are calculated with the method developed recently by Snoke, which combines the use of first motion of P, SV and SH waves and their amplitude ratios(referred to as Snoke method). We estimate the difference(also referred to consistency parameter θ)between the stress axis direction of focal mechanism solution and the mean stress tensor on one hand, and get the relative changes of focal mechanisms rather than the focal mechanisms themselves on the other hand, by using methods of correlation coefficient of body-wave spectral amplitudes, first motions and amplitude ratios of vertical P wave of single station, as limited by the network layout and density of observation points, focal mechanism solutions of small earthquakes are not easy to obtain. We studied the changing process of focal mechanisms of Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake sequence since October 2013 with many methods such as consistency parameter, correlation coefficient of body-wave spectral amplitudes, first motion and amplitude ratio of vertical P wave of single station, to determine the type of the sequence. The result shows that: before Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake of April 20, 2014, the consistency parameter of the earthquake sequence was lower than the mean for a long period, correlation coefficient of body-wave spectral amplitudes was always at high values(about 0.9), odds ratio of first motions of vertical P wave of single station near the epicenter, defined as the ratio of predominant number to contrast number of first motions, was up to 13.8 at station SJH, 3.8 at BZY and 3.6 at LNA, respectively; first motions of vertical P wave of single station showed an obvious predominant distribution as a whole, and the amplitude ratios of vertical P were consistent, which suggests that before Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake, focal mechanisms were consistent, so the earthquake sequence before Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake is the foreshock sequence. After Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake, correlation coefficient of body-wave spectral amplitudes was lower(about 0.6), first motions and amplitude ratios of vertical P wave of single station were in disorder, which suggest that the focal mechanisms are inconsistent after the Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake, so the earthquake sequence after Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake is the aftershock sequence, and subsequent larger earthquakes are not likely to occur. The focal mechanisms in Huoshan region during the period of Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake experienced a process from scattering to convergency and to scattering again.
