The wave velocity for two types of granitoids was measured using the analytic method of full-wave vibration at high pressure
and high temperature. The laws of velocity changes for them differ with the pressure boost and temperature rise, and the velocity
change of S-type is more violent than that of I-type. The “softening point” of compressional wave velocity (V μ) is also revealed
during the measurement for two types of granitoids imitating the pressure and temperature at a certain depth. But the depth
of “softening”, Vp after “softening” and the percentage of Vp’s drop around the “sofrening point” for two types of granitoids are obviously different. The depth of “softening” is 15 km
approximately and Vp after “softening” is 5.62 km/s for S-type granitoid. But for I-type granitoid the depth of “softening” is 26 km approximately
and Vp after “softening” is 6. 08 km/s. Through careful analysis of rock slices after the experiment, it was found that the “softening”
of elastic-wave velocity is caused by the partial melting of granite. Combined with the results of geophysical prospecting,
these results suggest that the low-velocity layers developing in the interior of Earth crust are related to thc partial melting
of different types of granitoids. The formation of the low-velocity layer in the upper-middle Earth crust is closely related
to the development of S-type granitoid, but that in the lower Earth crust is closely related to the development of I-type
granitoid. 相似文献
The deep seismic reflection data on profile HY2 are reprocessed by the method of simultaneous inversion of velocity distribution
and interface position. By the travel-time inversion with the data of the diving wave Pg and fault plane reflection wave,
we determine the geometric form and velocity of Haiyuan fault zone interior and surrounding rock down to 10 km depth. The
measured data show that the amplitudes have strong attenuation in the range of stake number 37–39 km, suggesting the fault
zone has considerable width in the crustal interior. The results of this paper indicate that to the north of the fault zone
the crystalline basement interface upheaves gradually from southwest to northeast and becomes shallow gradually towards northeast,
and that to the south of the fault zone, within the basin between Xihua and Nanhua mountains, the folded basement becomes
shallow gradually towards southwest. The obliquity of the fault zone is about 70° above the 3 km depth, about 60° in the range
of the 3–10 km depths. From the results of this paper and other various citations, we believe that Haiyuan fault zone is in
steep state from the Earth’s surface to the depth of 10 km.

Fluid flow in fractured rock is an increasingly central issue in recovering water and hydrocarbon supplies and geothermal energy, in predicting flow of pollutants underground, in engineering structures, and in understanding large-scale crustal behaviour. Conventional wisdom assumes that fluids prefer to flow along fractures oriented parallel or nearly parallel to modern-day maximum horizontal compressive stress, or SHmax. The reasoning is that these fractures have the lowest normal stresses across them and therefore provide the least resistance to flow. For example, this view governs how geophysicists design and interpret seismic experiments to probe fracture fluid pathways in the deep subsurface. Contrary to these widely held views, here we use core, stress measurement, and fluid flow data to show that SHmax does not necessarily coincide with the direction of open natural fractures in the subsurface (>3 km depth). Consequently, in situ stress direction cannot be considered to predict or control the direction of maximum permeability in rock. Where effective stress is compressive and fractures are expected to be closed, chemical alteration dictates location of open conduits, either preserving or destroying fracture flow pathways no matter their orientation. 相似文献
Based on one type of practical Biot's equation and the dynamic-stiffness matrices of a poroelastic soil layer and half-space, Green's functions were derived for uniformly distributed loads acting on an inclined line in a poroelastic layered site. This analysis overcomes significant problems in wave scattering due to local soil conditions and dynamic soil-structure interaction. The Green's functions can be reduced to the case of an elastic layered site developed by Wolf in 1985. Parametric studies are then carried out through two example problems. 相似文献
The Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy) has been the site of intense seismic activity over the past decades. This area is densely populated and includes important towns such as Napoli with historical sites and supporting many industries. For the proper use and management of the region, the evaluation of the dynamic properties of near-surface rocks is necessary.
The volcanological pattern has been reconstructed from the lithostratigraphies of several drillings. The most interesting and widespread pyroclastic products are the pozzolana deposit (soil) and the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (rock). Both pozzolana and tuff products are covered by recent eluvial and coastal sandy deposits and younger volcanic products (<12 000 years). The characteristic ranges of the shear wave velocity (Vs) of the Campi Flegrei–Neapolitan soils and tuffs are defined and the primary influencing factors are evaluated. For the sandy deposits, the results show that eluvial and lacustral products have lower shear wave velocities than coastal products. For the volcanic products younger than 12 000 years b.p. the influence of vertical pressure is emphasized. As regards the pozzolana deposit (soil) and the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (rock), a major influencing factor is shown by the textural characteristics and the different hardening degrees as a consequence of the diagenetic processes. The scattering of the Vs velocities for the same formation is so wide that only the variability ranges can be individuated. These results suggest a need to carry out detailed Vs measurements or, at least, to make a parametric study of the effect of the Vs ranges on seismic response analysis in order to give safe building codes. 相似文献
