Recent developments in seismically isolated buildings in Japan

The Building Standard Law of Japan and related Enforcement Order and Notifications have been substantially revised since the year 2000 to introduce a performance-based regulatory and deregulation system for building control systems. Up to then, time-history analyses were mandatory for isolated buildings and had to be specially approved by the Minster of the Ministry of Construction (MOC). Simplified design procedures based on the equivalent linear method for seismically isolated buildings have been issued as “Notification 2009 — Structural calculation procedure for buildings with seismic isolation” from MOC, and are now integrated into the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transportation (MLIT). Along with Notification 2009, “Notification 1446 of year 2000 — Standard for specifications and test methods for seismic isolation devices” was also issued. Buildings with heights equal to or less than 60m and that are designed according to these Notifications, including base isolated buildings, only need approval from local building officials, and no longer require the special approval of the Minister of MLIT. This paper summarizes: 1) some statistics related to buildings with seismic isolation completed up to the end of 2001; 2) simplified design procedures required by Notification 2009 of year 2000; and 3) performance of seismic isolation devices required by Notification 1446 of year 2000.     

基于试验与模型的根系增强抗剪强度分析

在总结近代学者对植物根系固土作用机制研究的基础上,采用大盒直剪试验与物理模型,对重庆缙云山地区6种常见植物:马尾松、香樟、广东山胡椒、四川大头茶、白毛新木姜子、四川山矾根系的增强抗剪强度进行对比。通过自制的大盒直剪仪对植物实际固土效果进行了测定,该大直剪仪具有简单、经济、易行等特点。通过对多种植物根系进行抗拉试验和根土复合体受力分析,确定了植物根系的抗拉强度与植物根面积比率。利用Wu模型对6种植物的根系固土效能进行模型计算。结果表明,不同的植物根系类型对增强抗剪强度值的影响非常显著。在重庆缙云山地区的土壤质地情况下,Wu的根土复合体模型高估了根系增强土壤的抗剪强度约为90%。基于该结论,为使Wu模型计算的根系固土强度值较为准确,修订Wu模型中的k值为0.63。     

Velocity profiles and incipient motion of frazil particles under ice cover

A series of experiments for the incipient motion of frazil particles under ice cover have been carried out in laboratory under different flow and boundary conditions.Measurements on flow velocities across the measuring cross-section at different water depths have been conducted.Based on these experiments under both ice-covered and open flow conditions,the impacts of solid boundary(such as ice cover and flume sidewall) on the distribution of flow velocity profiles have been discussed.The criteria for the inc...     

板钉连接CFST柱-RC梁节点梁端塑性铰区受力性能数值模拟

建立竖板-栓钉连接钢管混凝土（CFST）柱-钢筋混凝土（RC）梁节点试件（SSJD）拟静力加载试验有限元模型,并在节点损伤情况、梁端荷载-位移曲线等数值模拟结果与试验结果吻合较好的基础上,进一步开展了RC梁混凝土强度、配筋率ρs和连接竖板长度Lb及界面连接情况等对CFST柱-RC梁节点梁端塑性铰区域力学性能的影响。研究结果表明,RC梁混凝土强度对试件SSJD塑性铰区域受力性能的影响较小;适筋范围内RC梁配筋率增加可适当提高试件SSJD承载力和延性;随着连接竖板长度的增加,梁端塑性铰区域外移,梁破坏荷载增大;本研究给出的RC梁与CFST柱之间的界面抗剪承载力模拟值与计算值吻合较好,可用于界面抗剪设计。     

磨西-田湾剪切带氡异常及其对金矿化的指示

测氡方法是寻找深部隐伏矿的一种放射性地球物理方法.在川西田湾大发沟矿床,由于金矿化严格受剪切带和辉绿岩脉控制,且剪切带与辉绿岩脉密切伴生,因此,应用测氡方法寻找剪切带和辉绿岩脉可以达到间接找金矿的目的.     

内藏钢桁架混凝土组合低剪力墙抗震性能试验研究

进行了3个1/3缩尺的低剪力墙的抗震性能试验研究,包括1个普通混凝土低剪力墙、1个内藏钢框架混凝土组合低剪力墙和1个内藏钢桁架混凝土组合低剪力墙。在试验研究基础上,对比分析了各剪力墙的刚度及其衰减过程、承载力、延性、滞回特性、钢筋应变、耗能能力及破坏特征。试验表明:内藏钢框架和内藏钢桁架混凝土组合低剪力墙的抗震性能比普通混凝土低剪力墙明显提高。     

根据构造环境剪应力值水平区分地震和核爆炸

根据地震破裂的断裂力学模式,导出了震源参数与地震发生处的构造环境剪应力值t0之间的函数关系．据此,可以大量计算震源处的构造环境剪应力值或背景应力值．若把核爆炸当作地震来计算,发现核爆炸的t0值平均在20MPa左右,明显地高于同震级地震的t0值．其结果可以作为区分地震与核爆炸的依据．     

横波测井技术在海洋工程中的应用

单孔波速测试的传统做法是在地面激振,在孔中接收,但该方法测试深度受限,测试精度较低,且对于海上钻孔来说,根本无法实现激振,故对于海洋工程钻孔的波速测试,则需要新技术来实现横波波速的获取.笔者介绍的悬挂式波速测井法将震源和检波器同时放入井孔中,摆脱了笨重的地面敲击震源,实现了波速测井设备的轻便化,由相距1 m的两个检波器接收S波的传播信号,为一发双收装置,利用传感器接收到震源传来的S波信号到达时间(初至)差,来确定钻孔所在处地层波速的一种新技术.该方法在南堡油田平台场址调查中发挥了重要作用,对120 m深的钻孔进行了横波测井,取得了良好的测试成果,为该工程项目提供了准确的剪切波速,为划分该场址的场地土类别发挥了重要作用.
