Theory and Practice of Soft Clay Engineering

-The shear strength and deformation properties of soft clay are discussed first. Then some methods for predicting the performance of soft clay foundation are proposed. Finally, case histories are presented to illustrate some discussed aspects of soft clay.

东太平洋我国开辟区底层海流锚泊观测

“海洋四号”在执行ＤＹ９５－７和ＤＹ９５－９航次调查任务期间,在东太平洋我国开辟区做了２个测站的底层海流观测。观测资料分析表明,底层流的流速在１．２～１２．０ｃｍ／ｓ之间;底层流有月际和日际变化,并发现底层流存在“不活动”期。     

海底电缆表面多次波衰减方法

海底电缆多次波衰减是国外地球物理研究的热点之一,国内研究关注相对较少,相应理论和实验研究相对匮乏。介绍了OBC多次波的压制方法,对上下行波场反褶积衰减海底电缆表面多次波方法理论及相应技术流程做出了详尽阐述。该方法不需要震源信息、不需要去掉直达波和鬼波,即可达到衰减表面相关多次波的目的,通过理论模型和实际资料的验证,取得了理想的效果。     

Effects of the oophagous bivalve Acesta oophaga on the morphology and fecundity of its deep‐sea tubeworm host,Lamellibrachia luymesi

The deep‐sea bivalve Acesta oophaga lives attached to the anterior end of the vestimentiferan tubeworm, Lamellibrachia luymesi, at cold methane seeps. The bivalve is found almost exclusively on female tubeworms, where it consumes the lipid‐rich eggs of L. luymesi that are spawned year round (Biological Bulletin, 209, 2005, 87). It is apparent that A. oophaga benefits directly from this close association, but the consequences for the tubeworm host may be more complicated than just a simple predator–prey interaction. Since A. oophaga completely surrounds the tube opening and plume of the worm, it is likely that its presence would limit oxygen uptake by L. luymesi, thereby inhibiting worm growth and reproduction. We hypothesized that occupied tubeworms would compensate for this by growing larger plumes for oxygen uptake. To explore the effects of bivalve presence/absence on female tubeworms, several morphological features, including body size, plume length, tube diameter, and tube segment length, as well as instantaneous fecundity, were compared. Results suggest that the mere presence of A. oophaga has a significant impact on the morphology of its host worm, as all measures of worm size, except for tube segment length, were significantly greater with clams present. Additionally, instantaneous fecundity was 3.5 times higher in occupied worms, implying that tubeworms are not oxygen‐deprived or energy limited as a result of bivalve presence. Our findings suggest that the association between these two deep‐sea organisms may be a more complex form of symbiosis than the simple predator–prey relationship, as previously thought.     

Interannual variability in the biochemical composition of newly hatched larvae of the spider crab Maja brachydactyla (Decapoda,Majidae)

The spider crab Maja brachydactyla is an important commercial species in Europe and supports intensive fisheries in the NE Atlantic. A field survey was performed to assess long‐term and consecutive interannual (2005–2010) variation of the biochemical composition of newly hatched larvae of M. brachydactyla. Larval biochemical profiles differed significantly among years, with pronounced differences being recorded in 2010. Differences among batches of newly hatched larvae were mainly explained by the contribution of triacylglycerols and, to a lesser degree, by protein and lipid content. The use of different nutrition indices is discussed. The biochemical composition of newly hatched larvae from M. brachydactyla was highly variable, even though surveyed broodstock was obtained from the same local population and was always sampled during the same season. The unpredictable biochemical profiles of newly hatched larvae may condition their survival and recruitment. This largely overlooked aspect of larval variability should be considered in future fisheries management strategies and captive production of marine organisms that still rely on wild seeds.     

黄河三角洲沉积物压实固结及其对地面沉降贡献估算

利用1987年黄河三角洲综合性工程地质水文地质勘察中的152个钻孔与土力学中的分层总和计算法,对研究区域由沉积物自重压实引起的地面沉降进行了计算。结果表明:整个研究区范围内都不同程度地受到沉积物自重压实影响,总沉降量最小157 mm,最大1 398 mm,平均值669 mm,呈现由西南向东北逐渐增大的趋势。软土层是自重压实沉降的主要贡献层,其占到沉积物压实沉降总量的65%。与研究区内水准监测数据对比显示,沉降量估算结果是合理可靠的。根据对比结果进一步估算了沉积物压实固结分量对地面沉降总量的贡献比,最小值为2.1%,最大值为15.0%,平均值为4.0%,沉积物自重压实固结对今后区域的地面沉降仍将产生长远的影响。     

不同软基处理方法适用性比较

总结分析了国内外现有的软土地基处理的各种方法。通过对采用不同方法进行软基处理的工程实例处理效果的定量对比，发现不同软基处理方法的适用性差异很大，多数工程中仅用一种方法很难达到设计要求，而两种或多种方法联合则可望取得更好的效果。
