Introduction to dynamics of stone arches

The dynamic analysis of stone arches, made up of rigid voussoir laid dray, can be performed in two phases. First of all the value of the horizontal acceleration necessary to turn the structure into a mechanism and the corresponding mechanism must be determined. Then the dynamic behaviour of such a mechanism under a given acceleration time history can be studied. The first step is a static matter. The second one requires the solution of the non-linear equation of motion of the one-degree-of-freedom system in which the arch is turned. In this paper an iteration procedure is proposed to find out the mechanism. Then the structural behaviour of the mechanism is analysed. Both free and forced vibrations are investigated and the study is limited to the first-half cycle of vibration. Damping is not considered and sliding between the blocks at the hinge sections is not allowed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

“This is a Montreal Issue”: Negotiating responsibility in global production and investment networks

While geographers have increasingly focused on how global commodity and production networks create new ‘geographies of responsibility’ there has been little empirical work considering how responsibility is worked into management systems and social activism in such networks. Drawing on literature from global production networks, geographies of responsibility and other literatures, this paper explores the dynamic and contested ways in which concepts of responsibility can play a role in network regulation. Both foreign direct investment and commodity networks (here referred to as ‘global production and investment networks’) are subject to complex negotiations and compromises involving corporate social responsibility and sustainability initiatives as well as shareholder activist, human rights, labor, and environmental activism. This is illustrated by reference to conflicts in Canada over Alcan, Inc.’s investments from 1993 to 2007 in the Utkal Alumina Project in Orissa, India. The project involved significant socio-environmental conflict. In Canada, Alcan’s investment was met by civil society campaigns that tested the company’s commitments to sustainability and corporate social responsibility. The case study suggests revising theories of geographies of responsibility. While foreign direct investment can create new relationships between distant others, these are fluid and contingent and not necessarily desirable. Rather than see networks as a source of responsibility we should work to ensure that the relationships that networks foster be structured to ensure our deeper values are respected.

Industry-academe linkages in the Philippines: Embedding foreign investors,capturing institutions?

The global sourcing of services from developing countries has made human capital a key local asset for attracting foreign direct investment. This paper analyses to what extent individual companies engage in linkages and collaborations with universities and how the education sector responds to the new demands of the knowledge economy. Offshore services are generally recognised as ‘footloose’ investments with limited local linkages. A case study of industry-academe linkages in the growing business process outsourcing sector in the Philippines finds that foreign investors engage in active embedding and develop linkages with human resource providers, leading to increased territorial embeddedness. This paper investigates the kind of linkages created, which actors engage in them and their motivations, to understand the resulting implications for local economic development. Interviews with foreign investors and higher education institutions reveal that most collaboration is initiated by large call centre companies and focuses on entry-level skills development for their operations. I argue that multinational corporations have been able to capture local institutions and introduce changes in the education system to supply mainly lower-end skills. While increasing the available talent pool and raising the competitiveness for further investments, this presents challenges for upgrading into higher value-added services and potentially transforms the country into a dependent market economy.     

川中地区上三叠统须四段砂体成因及对油气运移影响分析

川中地区上三叠统须四段砂体沉积过程中,由于构造活动强弱的变化,导致物源供应速率与可容纳空间增长之间关系的变化,须四段厚层砂体自下而上由水退式、加积式和水进式3种不同成因类型的砂组纵向叠合而成.水退式砂组主要由高能削截式河道、削截式河口坝和远砂坝组成,加积式砂组主要包括冲蚀下切式河道和高能削截式河道,水进式砂组主要包括低能河道、低能削截式河道、完整式河口坝和下缺式河口坝.不同砂组中砂体类型不同,颗粒大小分异不同,水动力强弱的差异,不同成因砂体间形成了不同的成岩相和储集相,加积式砂组以绿泥石衬边和溶蚀成岩相为主,物性好,为好的储集体;水进式砂组由压实和胶结相为主,物性较差;水退式砂组中溶蚀相和胶结相发育,物性较好,为中等的储集体.须四段三种成因砂组中,加积式砂组中发育高能削截式河道,形成了在平面上广泛分布的高能水道,砂体厚度大,延伸长,发育有利的成岩相,物性较好,为油气的富集提供了足够的空间;同时加积式砂组与水退式砂组呈沉积不整合相接触,呈现相嵌关系,对天然气的运移起到通道作用,加积砂组向上的水进式砂组容易发生储层致密化,形成有利的盖层,使加积式砂组发育区成为川中天然气富集的有利部位.     

东昆仑五龙沟金矿田地质特征与成矿地质体厘定

五龙沟金矿田位于东昆仑造山带中段,矿田内金矿床主要沿岩金沟、萤石沟-红旗沟、三道梁-苦水泉三条NWW向构造破碎带发育。本文通过金矿床地质特征的综合分析,认为金矿床类型属于中—低温热液型,矿化类型为构造破碎带蚀变岩型,金成矿作用的温度为195~319℃,成矿物质具有壳源为主,部分幔源混合特征,成矿流体为岩浆水和大气降水的混合,矿物组合以微细黄铁矿、微细针状毒砂和不可见金为特征。同时通过地质体与矿床的空间关系、地质体与矿床物质成分的相关性、地质体形成时代与矿床形成时代及其时间差的对比研究,确认红旗沟脑片麻状花岗闪长岩体是五龙沟金矿田成矿地质体,也是金元素重要提供者。岩体含有大量被拉长的闪长岩包体,矿物发生明显的韧性变形,具有壳源为主的壳幔同熔作用形成、在定向应力作用下同构造侵位的特点,成岩年龄239~244Ma。壳幔同熔作用过程中幔源物质的加入带来了更多的金元素,定向应力作用下同构造侵位使金元素更容易活化迁移,进入成矿作用过程。金矿床主成矿期为印支早期,成矿年龄237Ma左右;后期被210Ma含浸染状黄铁矿的中酸性杂岩体侵位吞噬破坏。金矿床受成矿地质体和NWW向构造破碎带联合控制,矿化主要发育于距成矿地质体1.0~3.0km范围内的NWW向构造破碎带中;如果在成矿地质体影响范围内,没有NWW向构造破碎带,金矿体就没有赋存空间;而虽有NWW向构造破碎带,但离开成矿地质体的影响范围,金矿化则迅速减弱。进一步找矿方向是红旗沟脑片麻状花岗闪长岩成矿地质体影响范围之内有NWW向偏脆性构造破碎带发育的部位,或者是有隐伏成矿地质体的附近。

试论工程项目投资控制

工程项目投资控制是工程项目管理的重要内容。如何减少投资，并最大限度地提高企业投资收益，已为广大房地产开发商及项目管理者热切关注，即为热点又是难点。长期以来，人们总是把投资控制放在审查施工单位的进度款和决算方面，然而这种控制存在明显的缺陷。因为在施工过程中，经常发现那些因设计不科学、不合理脱离实际而造成的投资浪费，且又无法得到纠正的情况，从而使工程投资控制限于十分被动的局面。     

厚层切叠砂体自然层描述方法:以北一区断东葡一组1-4小层为例

将多期切叠河道砂体归类合并,建立一个“垂向连续,横向联通的表外砂岩空间体”(其中砂岩间夹层厚度≤0.4 m)的自然层概念来控制多期河道复合切叠厚砂体。以北一匹断东萄一组1-4小层为例,利用自然层间砂体厚度、切叠程度、测井曲线形态、相叠加类型及砂体叠加期次将自然层分为5类;再依据砂体间切叠位置、切叠程度和切叠形态的差异建立自然层剖面表征方法;依据砂体叠加期次,建立自然层在平面上表征模式。
