This paper investigates the changes in Lisan Marl properties upon leaching the soluble minerals and collapse potential. Finite
element method was used to model dike construction and the relationships between soil parameters. To validate the chosen model
and obtain the required input data, one dimensional oedometer and drained direct shear tests were carried out. The models
were further validated by comparing the results with available published data. The results proved that the chosen model is
efficient in assessing the geotechnical behavior of the studied soil. 相似文献

Measured settlements of buildings on the weathered Keuper Marl appeared to be much smaller than calculated settlements, which
were based on stiffness modulus from standard oedometer tests. Therefore, both special triaxial K
0-tests and oedometer tests were carried out for an accurate determination of stiffness moduli. Modulus obtained in the triaxial
K
0-tests were at least two to three times the values obtained in the oedometer tests. To verify observations from the laboratory
tests, the loads and the settlements of two single footings on weathered Keuper mudstone have been measured during construction
of a building over 1 year. Also, a large scale footing load test with measurements of deformations were conducted on the weathered
Keuper mudstone. The measured settlements of the two single footings and the tested foundation were compared with the settlements
based on conventional calculations with moduli from oedometer tests and triaxial K
0-tests. Up to a foundation pressure of σ v = 500 kN/m2 the calculated settlement based on E
S-modulus obtained from triaxial K
0-tests was found to correspond well to the measured deformation. For foundation pressure beyond 500 kN/m2, the foundation
response was highly non-linear and it could not be described any more with the linear-elastic model. Therefore the footing
load test was also simulated by FEM analyses. 相似文献

The distribution, relationships, and stratigraphical significance of the microfaunas (mainly foraminifera) in the Upper Cretaceous deposits of Western Australia are discussed, and palaeogeography and palaeoecology considered.Formations deposited during the Cenomanian-Turonian are the Gearle Siltstone and Alinga Greensand and perhaps the Molecap Greensand. Among the foraminifera recorded are the stratigraphically restricted planktonic forms Globotruncana ( Praeglobotruncana) stephani subspp. and G. helvetica.The Gingin Chalk and the lower part of the Toolonga Calcilutite were deposited during the Santonian. These formations contain the crinoid genera Marsupites and Uintacrinus, several species of Globotruncana and Neoflabellina, and Bolivinoides strigillata. Santonian beds are known in sub-surface sections as far north as the area of the Warroora Anticline.The Toolonga Calcilutite extends up into the lower Campanian, and Globotruncana arca appears in the fauna. The occurrence of Campanian beds in the Perth Basin cannot be proved; most of the Poison Hill Greensand may be of this age. On foraminiferal evidence, deposition of the Korojon Calcarenite began during the Campanian. Important species identified are Globotruncana arca, Cibicides voltziana and Bolivina incrassata.The upper beds of the Korojon Calcarenite and the Miria Marl are of Maestrichtian age. The Miria Marl contains the species Globotruncana stuarti, G. citae and G. contusa. The upper beds of the Poison Hill Greensand may range into the Maestrichtian.Published by permission of the Director, Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics, Canberra, Australia. 相似文献

The geochemical history of Lake Lisan, the Pleistocene precursor of the Dead Sea, has been studied by geological, chemical and isotopic methods.Aragonite laminae from the Lisan Formation yielded (equivalent) Sr/Ca ratios in the range 0.5 × 10 ?2?1 × 10 ?2, Na/Ca ratios from 3.6 × 10 ?3 to 9.2 × 10 ?3, values between 1.5 and 7%. and from ?7.7 to 3.4%..The distribution coefficient of Na + between aragonite and aqueous solutions, , is experimentally shown to be very sensitive to salinity and nearly temperature independent. Thus, Na/Ca in aragonite serves as a paleosalinity indicator.Sr/Ca ratios and values in aragonite provide good long-term monitors of a lake's evolution. They show Lake Lisan to be well mixed, highly evaporated and saline. Except for a diluted surface layer, the salinity of the lake was half that of the present Dead Sea (15 vs 31%).Lake Lisan evolved from a small, yet deep, hypersaline Dead Sea-like, water body. This initial lake was rapidly filled-up to its highest stand by fresh waters and existed for about 40,000 yr before shrinking back to the present Dead Sea. The chemistry of Lake Lisan at its stable stand represented a material balance between a Jordan-like input, an original large mass of salts and a chemical removal of aragonite. The weighted average depth of Lake Lisan is calculated, on a geochemical basis, to have been at least 400, preferably 600 m.The oxygen isotopic composition of Lake Lisan water, which was higher by at least 3%. than that of the Dead Sea, was probably dictated by a higher rate of evaporation.Na/Ca ratios in aragonite, which correlate well with values, but change frequently in time, reflect the existence of a short lived upper water layer of varying salinity in Lake Lisan. 相似文献

Relatively pure lacustrine carbonates referred to as marl are being deposited in Littlefield Lake, central Michigan, a hard-water lake with little terrigenous clastic influx. Thick accumulations of marl form both progradational marl benches along lake margins, and islands or lakemounts in the lake centre. Marl benches develop flat platforms up to 20 m wide in very shallow water and steeply inclined slopes, up to 30°, extending into deep water. The flat landward platform is frequently covered by algal pisoliths while the upper portion of the lakeward-sloping bottom is overgrown by Chara which in the summertime becomes thickly encrusted with low-magnesian calcite. Marl islands are flat-topped features that formed over relict highs on Pleistocene drift which underlies the lake basin. These are fringed by marl benches identical to those found along lake margins. Marl benches are composed of four units: two thin facies deposited on the shallow-water bench platform and two thicker faces deposited on the bench slope developed in moderate water depths. These in turn overlie a fifth facies deposited in deep water. A coarsening-upward sequence is developed in these sediments as a result of both mechanical sorting, and primary production of carbonate sand and gravel in shallow water. In addition to facies sequences and size grading, trends upsection of increasing carbonate content and decreasing insoluble content may serve to identify temperate-region lacustrine carbonate deposits in the rock record. 相似文献

We investigated the Sea-Rain-Lake relation during the Last Glacial-Holocene in the East Mediterranean region by comparing the δ 18O and δ 13C records of authigenic aragonite deposited in Lake Lisan, the Dead Sea, Mediterranean foraminifera, and speleothems. The Lisan Formation data display long- and short-term variations of δ 18O, representing steady-state conditions of the lake (e.g., 5.6‰ ± 0.5‰ and 4.5‰ ± 1‰ in the Upper and Lower Members of the Lisan Formation, respectively), and short-term excursions reflecting large floods and droughts. The long-term (steady-state) δ 18O values of the Lisan aragonites show similarity to the corresponding time-equivalent records of the Eastern Mediterranean foraminifera and Judea Mountain speleothems: The Last Glacial deposits are in all of them 2‰-3‰ heavier than the Holocene ones. We interpret this similarity as reflecting the significance of the source effect on the long-term behavior of isotopic reservoirs: Speleothem δ 18O is strongly influenced by the marine reservoir that contributes its vapor to rain formation; the lake δ 18O is dominated by the composition of the inflowing water. Short-term variations in the isotopic composition of rainfall are dominated by the amount effect and the temperature and those of the Lake’s upper water mass by the lake’s water balance.δ 13C values are more variable than δ 18O in the same Lisan sequences (e.g., δ 13C in the Lower Member is 1.0‰ ± 1.7‰, whereas δ 18O is 4.6‰ ± 0.7‰) and are 1‰ to 1.5‰ higher in the Upper Member than in the Lower and Middle Members of the Lisan Formation. These variations reflect significant increase in primary productivity of the lake and algal bloom activity. It appears that the hypersaline-saline lakes were not as “dead” as the Dead Sea is and that algal activity had an important impact upon the geochemistry of Lake Lisan.The δ 18O data combined with independent geochemical and limnologic information (e.g., level fluctuations) indicate that Lisan time was characterized by high precipitation-high lake stands-high atmospheric humidity, whereas the Holocene Dead Sea shows the opposite behavior. This paleoclimatic reconstruction is consistent with independent evidence for significantly wetter conditions in the East Mediterranean region during the Last Glacial period. 相似文献

This paper discusses the results of a large experimental program designed to investigate in a systematic manner the main features of the incremental response of fine‐grained soils. The results are obtained from triaxial stress probing experiments carried out on a French silty clay (Beaucaire Marl). All the tests have been performed on reconstituted specimens, normally consolidated to an initial state which is either isotropic or anisotropic. In the interpretation of the experimental results, extensive use is made of the concept of strain response envelope. The response envelopes obtained for different stress increment magnitudes are remarkably consistent with each other and indicate an inelastic and irreversible material response, i.e. a strong dependence on the stress increment direction, also at relatively small strain levels. A companion paper ( Int. J. Numer. Anal. Meth. Geomech., this issue, 2006) assesses the performance of some advanced constitutive models in reproducing the behaviour of reconstituted Beaucaire Marl as observed in this experimental program.

This paper presents a framework for assessing the probability of exceeding a specified liquefaction-induced settlement at a given site in a given exposure time. This framework deals not only with the effect of liquefaction (in terms of settlement) but also with probabilistic characterization of all possible ground motions at a given site (in terms of a joint distribution of amax and Mw). Additionally, a new concept, referred to herein as liquefaction-induced settlement hazard curve, is introduced for assessing the annual rate of settlement exceedance at a given site. This settlement hazard curve concept has the potential to be a very useful tool in the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering. Satisfactory results are obtained in the demonstration examples analyzed with the proposed framework. Whereas the proposed framework is simple and effective, further refinements to this framework, especially on the treatment of epistemic uncertainty, are warranted. 相似文献

The Dead Sea is surrounded by chemical and detrital sediments that were deposited in its larger precursor lakes, Lake Samra and Lake Lisan. The sedimentary history of these lakes was recon-structed by means of 230Th/ 234U ages of 30 samples, mostly of argonite laminae, from 8 columnar sections up to 110 km apart. The general validity of the ages was demonstrated by subjecting them to tests of internal isotopic consistency, agreement with stratigraphic order, and concordance with 14C ages. In the south, only the part of the Samra Formation older than 170,000 yr is exposed, while the aragonite-detritus rhythmites found in the central and northern region are generally younger than 120,000 yr. The Lisan Formation started accumulating about 63,000 yr B.P., with the clay and aragonite beds in the south-central area reflecting a rise in water level to at least −280 m. The upper part of the Lisan Formation, the aragonite-rich White Cliff Member, started accumulating about 36,000 yr B.P. The lake probably reached its highest level sometime after this, based on the ages of Lisan sediments preserved in the southernmost reaches of the basin. 相似文献

The demand for water resources in the area south of the Dead Sea due to continued development, especially at the Arab Potash
Company (APC) works necessitates that water quality in the area be monitored and evaluated based on the local geology and
hydrogeology. The objective of this paper is to provide information on the past and present status of the main aquifers under
exploitation or planned for future development. Two main aquifers are discussed: the Safi water field, presently being operated,
and the Dhiraa water field, which is being developed. The aquifer developed in the Safi water field is shallow and fed by
the Hasa fault system, which drains a significant portion of the Karak mountains. This aquifer seems to be well replenished
within the core, where no obvious long-term degradation in water quality can be identified. However, in the low recharge areas
within the distal portions of the alluvial fan, there has been a degradation in water quality with time. The degradation is
caused by the dissolution of the Lisan Marl, which is present at the outskirts of the fan system, based on hydrochemistry
of water in the wells. The Dhiraa field is a deep (800–950 m) aquifer drilled specifically for the extraction of brackish
water present in the Kurnub aquifer. Available data indicate that there are at least three distinct water types within this
field. These water types are variable in quality, and there may be potential for mixing of these waters, thus affecting the
quality of the freshest waters presently available. Tritium and oxygen isotope analysis indicate that the water is old and
possibly nonrenewable.

Lakes Samra, Lisan and the Dead Sea occupied the Dead Sea basin during the Last Interglacial (∼140–75 ka BP), last glacial (∼70–14 ka BP) and Holocene periods, respectively. The age of Lake Lisan and Samra was determined by U–Th dating of primary aragonites comprising parts of the lacustrine sedimentary sequences. The lakes have periodically deposited sequences of layered calcitic marls (Lake Samra) or laminated primary aragonite (Lake Lisan). The deposition of aragonite as the primary carbonate phase reflects the contribution of the incoming freshwater (loaded with bi-carbonate) and high Mg-, Ca-chloride brine that originated from the subsurface vicinity of the Dead Sea basin. Deposition of calcitic marls suggests a minor effect of the brines. The Ca-chloride subsurface brine has been migrating in and out of the wall rocks of the Dead Sea basin, reflecting the regional hydrological conditions. During most of the last glacial period and during the late Holocene, sufficient precipitation above the Judea Mountains pushed the subsurface Ca-chloride brines into the lakes causing the deposition of aragonite. During the Last Interglacial period the rain that precipitated above the Judea Mountains was insufficient to induce brine flow toward Lake Samra. It appears that sporadic floods provided calcium, bicarbonate and detritus to produce the Samra calcitic marls. Travertines deposited at the Samra–Lisan boundary indicate the early stage in the resumption of groundwater (springs) activity that led to the resurgence of Ca-chloride brine and rise of Lake Lisan. Similar variations in the regional rain precipitation and hydrological activity probably characterized the long-term geochemical evolution of Pleistocene lacustrine water-bodies in the Dead Sea basin, enabling the use of the carbonates as paleo-hydrological monitors. 相似文献

An instrumented trial-fill dike was constructed on soft, laminated soils of the Lisan Peninsula foreshore of the Dead Sea.
The earthwork had base dimensions of 180 m by approximately 70 m wide and was raised in two stages to a maximum height of
12.5 m above original ground level. The geotechnical data of the dike were monitored in order to: assess the short- and long-term
strength of the foundation, obtain and analyze the pore-pressure response of the foundation soils for potential use in construction
control, obtain data on embankment settlement in order to refine end-of-construction and post-construction settlement assessments,
and optimize the height of the dike to be constructed by providing information on the construction sequence for use in calculation
of capital costs and alternative layouts and dike heights. The successful completion of the trial dike has demonstrated that
steep-side dikes up to 12.5 m high can be constructed rapidly on soft soils. The construction of the trial dike has therefore
proved a very substantial benefit to the evaluation of the likely performance of a dike constructed along the Lisan shore.
The key factor which made this fast construction possible was the unexpected, very rapid consolidation of the majority of
the foundation soil which has been shown to occur. The principal observations from the trial dike were: (1) end of construction
settlements may be calculated using drained stiffnesses where E′/s u initial has a value of around 65; (2) post-construction settlements can be calculated using a coefficient of secondary compression,
Cα equal to 0.015; (3) a rapid increase in undrained shear strength occurred when loading the soil up to a value of s u equal to around 30 kPa. The value of s u/σ v′ was as high as 0.5 at this stage. With further loading the strength increase was more modest and s u/σ v fell to around 0.25 for a vertical effective stress of 160 kPa; (4) for the undrained stability analyses of the trial dike,
the mean vane shear-strength profile provided an appropriate assessment of the short-term factor of safety against failure,
5) For the drained stability analyses of the trial dike, lower bound effective strength parameters for the foundation and
embankment fill (c′=0, φ′=30° and c′=2 kN/m 2, φ′=33°, respectively), combined with field measurements of end of construction pore water pressures provided an analysis
which was broadly compatible with the undrained analysis; and (6) the trial dike has been stable, pre- and post-construction,
because of the well drained nature of its foundation which prevented the build up of high pore water pressures and led to
rapid consolidation.

A detailed study of the syndepositional Masada Fault Zone (MFZ) provides an example for fundamental characteristics of earthquakes, such as long term temporal clustering, repeated faulting on the same planes for a limited time of the order of a few thousands of years, and the formation of subaqueous breccia layers interpreted as seismites. The MFZ was studied in outcrops of 70–15 ka Lake Lisan sediments. Detailed columnar sections on both sides of well-exposed faults show that each individual fault exhibits a cluster, up to 4 ky long, with 3–5 slip events on the same plane. Each slip event is associated with the formation of widespread layers exhibiting soft sediment deformation, which are interpreted to be seismite layers. The uppermost part of the Lisan section, about 5 m, is not faulted, hence the last cluster of slip events ended about 25 ky ago. The clusters of activity of individual faults coalesce to form larger clusters. These are evident in the distribution of seismite layers throughout the entire Lisan section which shows earthquake clustering during periods of 10 ky. The clusters are separated by relatively quiescent periods of comparable duration. 相似文献

The problem of settlement of shallow foundations is among the most important ones in classical soil mechanics. And while for the settlement of flexible foundations elastic solutions are widely used, for rigid rectangular foundations where the actual contact pressure distribution is still unknown, the problem is approximated either analytically assuming a contact pressure distribution or semi‐empirically combining the theory of elasticity with experimental and/or numerical results. A third and often attractive choice is the use of simple empirical relationships or relevant tabulated values relating the elastic settlement of rigid foundations (ρR) with the settlement of the respective flexible foundations (e.g. at the center, ρCe). Reviewing the relathionships of this third approach, the author revealed serious lack of consesous between the various sources; for example, according to the literature, ρR ranges between 68 and 125% of ρCe, the time when it is well-known that ρR?<?ρCe. In this paper, comparison of the settlement of 210 rigid foundation cases derived from 3D elastic finite element analysis, with the settlement of the respective flexible foundations derived from the theory of elasticity, led to simple empirical relationships between ρR and ρCe as well as between ρR and ρAv (ρAv?=?average settlement of the flexible foundation) with coefficient of determination (R2) almost unity. The analysis showed that these relationships are largely independent of the aspect ratio of foundations and the thickness and Poisson’s ratio (ν) of the compressible medium, although separate relationships are given for ν?=?0.5, slightly increasing R2. Finally, a correction factor for foundation rigidity is given exploting the known linear relationship that exists between the relative stiffness factor of foundations and settlement. 相似文献

The settlement of a structure founded on clay comprises of immediate and consolidation settlements. In the case of clays, consolidation settlement is more than immediate settlement. The parameters influencing consolidation settlement of a normally loaded clay layer are degree of saturation ( S%), void ratio ( e) of soil prior to excavation, amount of overburden (σ o) removed, amount of rebound and intensity of loading (σ) upon building superstructure. This paper presents the effect of the above parameters on compressibility characteristics of a clay. The different steps undertaken for footing construction were simulated in the laboratory. Remoulded clay samples were prepared from oven-dry fraction passing 425 μm sieve. The density of the samples was kept constant at 13 kN/m 3. Degree of saturation was varied at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The surcharge on the samples (overburden in the case of field clay layer) was varied as 25 kPa, 50 kPa and 100 kPa. Compressibility characteristics such as initial compression under the applied surcharge (overburden), rebound upon removal of surcharge and recompression were studied through one-dimensional consolidation tests. The rate and amount of initial compression, rebound, e-σ and e-log σ curves, compression index ( Cc), coefficient of compressibility ( av) and coefficient of volume compressibility ( mv) were studied. 相似文献

A series of centrifuge model tests of geogrid-reinforced slopes with superstructure was conducted under differential settlement condition. The influence of reinforcement placement on the deformation and failure behavior of the slope and superstructure is investigated by considering different numbers of geogrid layers. The response of the slope and superstructure is analyzed based on a full-field displacement measurement via image analysis. The differential settlement induces distinguishable superstructure movement and slope deformation above the subsidence zone. The slope displacement, close to the vertical direction, appears only in a limited zone. An integrated analysis scheme of deformation and failure processes is adopted to reveal the failure mechanism of both the unreinforced and reinforced slopes: a certain level of deformation localization induced by differential settlement results in the local failure, and adversely, the local failure aggravates the deformation localization near it. The geogrid reinforcement mechanism is further clarified as the reduction on the deformation localization of the slope due to geogrid placement. The geogrid reinforcement effect can be comprehensively described with two respects: hooping effect and shielding effect, which illustrates the influence sphere and degree of geogrid reinforcement on restraining the slope deformation. The geogrid reinforcement is proven effective to improve the safety of the slope and superstructure. 相似文献

通过三维模型试验对桩承式路堤中土拱效应发挥过程进行了研究,重点分析了不同桩顶盖板尺寸、不同加筋方式下应力折减系数与差异沉降之间的关系。结果表明,土拱效应随变形的增加而发挥;加筋材料的设置减小了差异沉降,削弱了填土中的土拱效应,荷载向桩顶的传递是土拱效应和拉膜效应共同作用的结果。采用有限元法对桩间距、填土高度等未能在模型试验中考虑的关键因素进行了参数敏感性分析,总结了土拱效应发挥过程的相关规律。根据有限元计算结果、试验数据和文献中收集到的实测资料,提出用土拱效应发挥系数和归一化位移来描述土拱效应的发挥过程,建议二者之间采用双曲线方程模拟,从而在设计中体现土拱效应随位移的发展,并满足路堤填土、加筋材料和地基之间的变形协调要求。 相似文献

Artificial substrate collectors were used to sample settled brachyuran megalopae in Terrebonne Bay, Louisiana, northern Gulf
of Mexico. Three taxa, Callinectes sapidus, Uca spp., and Rhithropanopeus harrisii, were the most common settlers. Settlement occurred almost year-round, although settlement densities were highest in late
summer and early fall. In 1990, all three taxa had several simultaneous settlement peaks; in 1991, one simultaneous settlement
peak occurred. Fewer C. sapidus and Uca spp. settled in 1991 than in 1990, but settlement abundance of R. harrissii was similar between years. Local weather events, such as heavy precipitation, may have influenced the lower abundances of C. sapidus and Uca spp. in 1991. The megalopae of C. sapidus and Uca spp., which re-invade the estuary from higher salinity offshore waters where larval development occurs, may have been more
affected by the lower 1991 estuarine salinity values than the larvae of R. harrissii, which are retained within the estuary throughout larval development. Settlement of C. sapidus and Uca spp. was correlated with maximum tidal height, tidal amplitude, salinity, temperature, and lunar phase. In 1990, settlement
of C. sapidus was correlated with lunar declination cycles; settlement peaks occurred during equatorial minimum amplitude tides. The settlement
of R. harrisii was associated with tidal amplitude and lunar phase. Associations between environmental variables and settlement of megalopae
were not consistent between the two years sampled. The opposing or reinforcing effects of various environmental variables
on settlement, e.g., tidal height and rainfall, are superimposed on long-term hydrologic cycles so that dramatically altered
cycles of settlement occur among years. 相似文献
