Influence of large-diameter pipe pile driving on surrounding marine soils and adjacent submarine pipelines

Abstract

With the large-scale development and utilization of ocean resources and space, it is inevitable to encounter existing submarine facilities in pile driving areas, which necessitates a safety assessment. In this article, by referring to a wharf renovation project as a reference, the surrounding soil response and buried pipe deformation during pile driving in a near-shore submarine environment are investigated by three-dimensional (3D) numerical models that consider the pore water effect. Numerical studies are carried out in two different series: one is a case of a single pile focusing on the effect of the minimum plane distance of the pile–pipe, and the other is a case of double piles focusing on the effect of the pile spacing.     

柿竹园钨多金属矿床的Re-0s同位素等时线年龄研究

柿竹园钨多金属矿床产于千里山复式岩体与泥盆系碳酸盐岩的接触部位。其成矿时代以往都是用矿体附近的花岗岩体年龄来间接推断。我们最近采用辉钼矿的Re-Os等时线定年法直接测定了与千里山第一期花岗岩有关的夕卡岩型矿体的矿化年龄为151.0±3.5Ma。该年龄晚于第一期花岗岩,但早于第二期花岗岩,从而证实了钨多金属矿化在花岗岩系列的早期早阶段也可以成矿。该年龄与野外观察的地质情况十分吻合,而辉钼矿是热液矿床中的常见矿物,说明这种测年方法是一种研究热液矿床成矿时代及其成因的重要手段。     

辉钼矿铼－锇同位素年代学研究简介

辉钼矿铼－锇同位素年代学测定依据该矿物中含有由１８７Ｒｅ通过β－衰变而形成的放射性成因１８７Ｏｓ。这一同位素年代学方法由于８０年代以来微量铼、锇同位素质谱技术的成熟而逐渐应用于研究中，获得了具有地质意义的年龄值。对辉钼矿年龄测定的成功与否，选择适当的样品至关重要。一般而言，红外透光性（ｉｎｆｒａｒｅｄｔｒａｎｓｐａｒｅｎｃｙ）大于３．５的辉钼矿样品适合于铼－锇同位素年代学研究，其辉钼矿的铼－锇同位素年龄值十分接近于围岩的钾－氩或其它常规同位素方法的年龄值。     

西藏墨竹工卡县邦铺钼(铜)矿床辉钼矿稀土—微量元素特征及对成矿流体性质的指示

文章以西藏墨竹工卡县邦铺钼(铜)矿床辉钼矿为研究对象,采用高精度电感耦合等离子质谱( ICPMS)对辉钼矿进行了稀土和微量元素测试.测试结果显示辉钼矿具有轻稀土富集的右倾配分模式,轻重稀土内部分馏明显.辉钼矿稀土元素不同程度地出现铕负异常和铈负异常现象,分析得出其铕负异常可能是继承了成矿流体自身铕亏损的特征,而铈负异常...     

西藏曲水县达布斑岩铜(钼)矿床成岩成矿年代学研究

本文采用锆石LA-ICP-MS微区U-Pb测年技术,对冈底斯成矿带东段曲水县达布斑岩Cu(Mo)矿床北部达布矿区含矿斑岩体、南部显角囊含矿花岗闪长斑岩岩体进行了年代学研究,通过对3件岩体样品中单颗粒锆石的分析,达布主矿体花岗闪长斑岩样品206Pb/238U年龄加权平均值为16.5±0.05Ma(n=15,MSWD=3),达布主含矿体二长花岗斑岩样品年龄为16.1±0.13Ma(n=15,MSWD=1.03),南部显角囊矿体花岗闪长斑岩年龄为16.2±0.04Ma(n=13,MSWD=0.0064)。对达布矿床斑岩Cu(Mo)矿床主矿体中4件辉钼矿样品,显角囊矿体中6件辉钼矿样品,分别进行了Re-Os同位素测试,等时线年龄分别为14.6±0.50Ma(MSWD=0.35,主矿体)、14.8±0.23Ma(MSWD=1.3,显角囊)。结合前人研究以及本次测年结果认为:1)达布斑岩铜(钼)矿床岩体侵位的年龄应限定在16Ma左右,成矿时代为14Ma左右,成矿时间差小于0.86Ma,与区域上"成矿瞬时发生"的成矿规律是一致的;2)矿床产出于印度-亚洲大陆板块后碰撞伸展环境。     

内蒙武川后石花金矿床辉钼矿Re-Os同位素年龄及其地质意义

后石花金矿是华北克拉通北缘一小型石英脉型金矿床。对矿体5件辉钼矿样品的ReOs同位素分析,获得了介于280.3±3.8~283.0±3.9Ma,加权平均为282.0±1.8Ma(MSWD=0.28)的同位素模式年龄,以及一个相关性很好的等时线年龄281.9±1.8Ma(MSWD=0.57),表明矿床形成于早二叠世,推测是海西晚期古亚洲洋俯冲体制下陆缘弧背景中构造-热液成矿事件产物。综合区域资料认为,华北北缘中段在海西晚期曾发生过重要成矿作用,但多在后期被剥蚀破坏。华北北缘中段大陆弧范围内,叠加在前寒武纪结晶基底韧性剪切带之上的脆性断裂构造带,以及华北北缘早古生代增生带内部,是形成海西晚期金、钼矿床的有利部位。     

Modelling of Ocean Shallow Convection under Fast Ice in the Arctic

Ocean convection in the Antarctic has been studied many times and has been revealed to be responsible for ice-cover reduction. In the Arctic, proof of that phenomenon has not been documented. It is believed that this phenomenon happens on a smaller scale in the Arctic when local circulation of deep warmer water melts and slows ice production. An example of this is the North Water (NOW) polynya in northern Baffin Bay. A polynya is an area of open water in an otherwise ice-covered area. As ice forms under the fast ice near the boundary of the polynya, ocean salts (brine) are ejected from the newly formed ice. This water, which has an increased concentration of salt, sinks and is replaced by warmer water from below, and this slows ice formation. In our study a coupled one-dimensional thermodynamic snow–fast ice model incorporating ocean heat flux input via a shallow convection model was used. Ice thickness was calculated using a thermodynamic model that included a current-induced entrainment model and a convection model to account for brine rejection during ice growth. Atmospheric observations from Grise Fiord and Thule and ocean profiles around the NOW polynya near these sites were used as input to the model. This purely thermodynamic study enables us to obtain ice thickness values that can be compared with qualitative observations. This modelling study compares two sites related to the NOW polynya. The results indicate that the shallow convection model simulates the reduction of fast ice near Thule but not near Grise Fiord.     

高温密闭溶样电感耦合等离子体质谱准确测定辉钼矿铼-锇地质年龄

采用Carius管高温密闭溶样,电感耦合等离子体质谱(ICP MS)法对采自两个不同金属矿床的辉钼矿样品的Re Os同位素地质年龄进行了准确测定。所得出的Re Os年龄的平均值分别为14.26±0.19Ma和34.39±0.81Ma,相对标准偏差分别为1.3%(以2s计算,n=6)和2.4%(以2s计算,n=7)。采用国际通用的ISOPLOT软件按Model1模式对这两组样品分别进行处理,所得Re Os等时线年龄分别为14.32±0.46Ma和34.52±0.38Ma(均为95%置信水平)。同批次样品中所带的内部管理样JDC的Re Os年龄与国际先进实验室采用负离子热表面电离质谱测量所得的结果吻合也较好。说明在严格的质量体系保证及有效地降低实验室空白水平的前提下,ICP MS完全可以准确地测定辉钼矿的Re Os年龄。     

The evolution of rifting on the volcanic margin of the Pelotas Basin and the contextualization of the Paraná–Etendeka LIP in the separation of Gondwana in the South Atlantic

The Pelotas Basin is the classical example of a volcanic passive margin displaying large wedges of seaward-dipping reflectors (SDR). The SDR fill entirely its rifts throughout the basin, characterizing the abundant syn-rift magmatism (133–113 Ma). The Paraná–Etendeka Large Igneous Province (LIP), adjacent to west, constituted the pre-rift magmatism (134–132 Ma). The interpretation of ultra-deep seismic lines showed a very different geology from the adjacent Santos, Campos and Espírito Santo Basins, which constitute examples of magma-poor passive margins. Besides displaying rifts totally filled by volcanic rocks, diverse continental crustal domains were defined in the Pelotas Basin, such as an outer domain, probably constituted by highly stretched and permeated continental igneous crust, and a highly reflective lower crust probably reflecting underplating.The analysis of rifting in this portion of the South Atlantic is based on seismic interpretation and on the distribution of regional linear magnetic anomalies. The lateral accretion of SDR to the east towards the future site of the breakup and the temporal relationship between their rift and sag geometries allows the reconstitution of the evolution of rifting in the basin. Breakup propagated from south to north in three stages (130–127.5; 127.5–125; 125–113 Ma) physically separated by oceanic fracture zones (FZ). The width of the stretched, thinned and heavily intruded continental crust also showed a three-stage increase in the same direction and at the same FZ. Consequently, the Continental-Oceanic Boundary (COB) shows three marked shifts, from west to east, from south to north, resulting into rift to margin segmentation. Rifting also propagated from west to east, in the direction of the final breakup, in each of the three segments defined. The importance of the Paraná–Etendeka LIP upon the overall history of rupturing and breakup of Western Gondwanaland seems to have been restricted in time and in space only to the Pelotas Basin.     

Constraining the timing of porphyry mineralization in northwest Iran in relation to Lesser Caucasus and Central Iran; Re–Os age data for Sungun porphyry Cu–Mo deposit

The Neo-Tethyan subduction in Iran is characterized by the Urumieh–Dokhtar magmatic arc (UDMA), formed by northeast-ward subduction of the oceanic crust beneath the central Iran. This belt coincides with the porphyry copper metallogenic belt that comprises several metallogenic zones, including Ahar–Jolfa in northwest Iran. The Ahar–Jolfa metallogenic zone encompasses two main batholiths of Qaradagh and Sheyvardagh and numerous intrusive bodies of Cenozoic, which have produced many base and precious metal deposits and prospects. The former is considered as continuation of the Meghri–Ordubad pluton in South Armenian Block (SAB), which also hosts porphyry copper deposits (PCDs). The Sungun PCD is the largest occurrence in northwest Iran. Rhenium-Osmium ages of Sungun molybdenites are early Miocene and range between 22.9 ± 0.2 and 21.7 ± 0.2 Ma. Comparison of the ages obtained here with published ages for mineralization across the region suggests the following sequence. The earliest porphyry Cu–Mo mineralization event in northwest Iran is represented by Saheb Divan PCD of late Eocene age, which is followed by the second epoch of middle Oligocene, including the Cu–Mo–Au mineralization at Qarachilar and the Haftcheshmeh PCD. Mineralization in Sungun, Masjed Daghi, Kighal and Niaz deposits corresponds to the third mineralization event in northwest Iran. The first epoch in northwest Iran postdates all Eocene mineralizations in SAB, while the second epoch is coeval with Paragachay and the first-stage of Kadjaran PCDs. Its third epoch is younger than all mineralizations in SAB, except the second stage in Kadjaran PCD. Finally, the Cu mineralization epochs in northwest Iran are older than nearly all PCDs and prospects in Central Iran (except the Bondar Hanza PCD), altogether revealing an old to young trend along the UDMA and the porphyry Cu belt towards southeast, resulted from diachronous, later closure of the Neo-Tethyan oceanic basin in central and SE Iran.
