Progressive rock‐fall failures in natural rock slopes are common in many environments, but often elude detailed quantitative documentation and analysis. Here we present high‐resolution photography, video, and laser scanning data that document spatial and temporal patterns of a 15‐month‐long sequence of at least 14 rock falls from the Rhombus Wall, a sheeted granitic cliff in Yosemite Valley, California. The rock‐fall sequence began on 26 August 2009 with a small failure at the tip of an overhanging rock slab. Several hours later, a series of five rock falls totaling 736 m3 progressed upward along a sheeting joint behind the overhanging slab. Over the next 3 weeks, audible cracking occurred on the Rhombus Wall, suggesting crack propagation, while visual monitoring revealed opening of a sheeting joint adjacent to the previous failure surface. On 14 September 2009 a 110 m3 slab detached along this sheeting joint. Additional rock falls between 30 August and 20 November 2010, totaling 187 m3, radiated outward from the initial failure area along cliff (sub)parallel sheeting joints. We suggest that these progressive failures might have been related to stress redistributions accompanying propagation of sheeting joints behind the cliff face. Mechanical analyses indicate that tensile stresses should occur perpendicular to the cliff face and open sheeting joints, and that sheeting joints should propagate parallel to a cliff face from areas of stress concentrations. The analyses also account for how sheeting joints can propagate to lengths many times greater than their depths behind cliff faces. We posit that as a region of failure spreads across a cliff face, stress concentrations along its margin will spread with it, promoting further crack propagation and rock falls. Published in 2012.

An approximate procedure for seismic analysis of concrete arch dams which is based on the smeared crack method is described. Features include construction sequence modelling, water and foundation interaction, crack formation, opening and closing of joints and cracks, frictional sliding, presence of shear keys, action of internal water pressure, and a reliable solution algorithm. Complete solutions can be obtained in an hour on a fast workstation computer, allowing parameter studies to be run. Results suggest that an arch dam can suffer significant cracking during strong ground shaking and still remain stable. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Crack widths and rock temperatures were monitored on an andestic bedrock cliff in the summit area of the Daisetsu Mountains, Hokkaido, northern Japan. Sequential data recorded the gradual widening of a crack to the point of critical crack extension, which resulted in catastrophic rock breakage. The data indicate that a combination of liquid water in?ltration into crack tip and subsequent freezing is the most signi?cant factor contributing to critical crack extension. The recorded sub‐critical crack movements involved a number of minor crack extensions and contractions, the timing of which correlates well with the magnitude of the reconstructed thermal stresses at the crack tip derived from thermal deformation of the plate‐shaped rock fragment. Larger crack extensions occurred when stress at the crack tip exceeded a threshold value, possibly re?ecting the control of rock fracture mechanics by which cracks are thought to propagate when the stress intensity factor at the crack tip exceeds the threshold values for stress corrosion cracking and the fracture toughness of the material.

Owing to the devastating M7.6 earthquake of 20 June 1990 that occurred in the northern province of Iran, Sefid‐rud concrete buttress dam located near the epicenter was severely shaken. The crack penetrated throughout the dam thickness near slope discontinuity, causing severe leakage, but with no general failure. In this study, nonlinear seismic response of the highest monolith with empty reservoir is investigated experimentally through model testing. A geometric‐scaled model of 1:30 was tested on a shaking table with high‐frequency capability to study dynamic cracking of the model and serve as data for nonlinear computer model calibration. Three construction joints are set up in the model to simulate effects of construction aspects. The experimental results are then compared with smeared crack and damage mechanics finite‐element simulations using nonlinear concrete constitutive models based on fracture mechanics. The crack patterns obtained from numerical models are in good agreement with those obtained from shaking table tests for the case of including construction joint effects and rigid foundation.

A numerical process that simulates crack propagation in reinforced concrete through post‐crack stress redistribution is presented. This process is developed within the context of the smeared crack approach. Continuity and orientation of the reinforcing bar components are automatically recognized in the pre‐processing stage. The process explicitly outputs crack widths by computing the bond slips along reinforcement, without imposing any additional nodes between the reinforcement and concrete. The process is incorporated with a finite element algorithm, and the validation is investigated through sample 3D static analyses of nine concrete specimens subjected to monotonic shear and flexure loads. These specimens contain relatively well‐distributed steel bars and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets of reinforcement ratio from 0.11 to 0.57%. The analyses predict the crack patterns and crack widths well, although some disagreements are found between the test and the analysis results. The proposed process outputs discrete, continuous in crack directions, and element boundary‐free crack patterns. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In this paper, a simple cyclic cracking model incorporating crack dilatancy effect is proposed to model the behaviour of reinforced
concrete structures under earthquake-like dynamic loading. This model has been implemented into a FE programme [LUSAS (2004)
Luscas User Manual (version 12.3), FEA Ltd., London, England] to simulate reversed and cyclic loading. A shaking table test performed in Switzerland
at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Zurich (ETHZ) has been chosen for comparison. The test performed on the shaking
table simulated a wall of a 3-storey building. The natural frequency and the crack pattern have been calculated and show reasonable
agreement with the experimental results 相似文献

Inspired from the simplified single degree of freedom modeling approach used in the preliminary design of concrete gravity dams, a pseudo‐dynamic testing method was devised for the seismic testing of a concrete gravity dam section. The test specimen was a 1/75 scaled section of the 120‐m‐high monolith of the Melen Dam, one of the highest concrete gravity dams to be built in Turkey. The single degree of freedom idealization of the dam section was validated in the first stage of the study using numerical simulations including the dam–reservoir interaction. Afterwards, pseudo‐dynamic testing was conducted on the specimen using three ground motions corresponding to different hazard levels. Lateral displacement and base shear demands were measured. The crack propagation at the base of the dam was monitored with the measurement of the crack widths and the base sliding displacements. After the pseudo‐dynamic loading, a static pushover test was conducted to determine the reserve capacity of the test specimen. Despite major cracking at the base of the monolith, neither significant sliding nor a stability problem that might jeopardize the stability of the dam was observed.

The design of a three‐story buckling‐restrained braced frame (BRBF) with a single‐diagonal sandwiched BRB and corner gusset was evaluated in cyclic tests of a one‐story, one‐bay BRBF subassembly and dynamic analyses of the frame subjected to earthquakes. The test focused on evaluating (1) the seismic performance of a sandwiched BRB installed in a frame, (2) the effects of free‐edge stiffeners and dual gusset configurations on the corner gusset behavior, (3) the frame and brace action forces in the corner gusset, and (4) the failure mode of the BRBF under the maximum considerable earthquake level. The subassembly frame performed well up to a drift of 2.5% with a maximum axial strain of 1.7% in the BRB. Without free‐edge stiffeners, the single corner gusset plate buckled at a significantly lower strength than that predicted by the specificationof American Institute of Steel Construction (2005). The buckling could be eliminated by using dual corner gusset plates similar in size to the single gusset plate. At low drifts, the frame action force on the corner gusset was of the same magnitude as the brace force. At high drifts, however, the frame action force significantly increased and caused weld fractures at column‐to‐gusset edges. Nonlinear time history analyses were performed on the three‐story BRBF to obtain seismic demands under both design and maximum considerable levels of earthquake loading. The analytical results confirmed that the BRB and corner gusset plate achieved peak drift under cyclic loading test. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Effects of vertical seismic acceleration on 3D slope stability 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The conventional pseudo-static approach often neglects the effect of the vertical seismic acceleration on the stability of a slope, but some analyses under plane-strain (2D) conditions show a significant effect on the slope stability. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the vertical acceleration on the safety of three-dimensional (3D) slopes. In the strict framework of limit analysis, a 3D kinematically admissible rotational failure mechanism is adopted here for 3D homogeneous slopes in frictional/cohesive soils. A set of stability charts is presented in a wide range of parameters for 3D slopes under combined horizontal and vertical seismic loading conditions. Accounting for the effects of the vertical seismic acceleration, the difference in safety factors for 3D slopes can exceed 10%, which will significantly overestimate the safety of the 3D slopes. 相似文献

Separation of volatile components from rocks under mechanical loading as the source of hydrogeochemical anomalies preceding earthquakes 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

One of the most important problems for the theory and practice of earthquake prediction is that of the source of substances in the formation of precursory hydrogeochemical anomalies. Volatile components that are separated from rocks at mechanical loading present one of the sources. A large-scale model experiment is conducte with a 50 000-ton press; the results reveal the regularities of water, radon, mercury, and helium separation from large basalt and granite samples that are subjected to a cyclically increasing, uniaxial pressure to fracture (at 75 and 180 MPa for basalt and granite, respectively). Premonitory rock fracture is found to be accompanied by the separation of volatile components from rocks. Predictive properties of the components are associated with their chemical nature and the forms in which they exist in rocks. Water release during mechanical loading increases gradually with the increase in loading. Helium separation begins at the early stages of the cracking process. Comparison of the data on degassing with data on bulk strain and acoustic emission shows that the major part of radon is released at the stage of avalanche-type crack interaction and at the dynamic stage of the formation of an earthquake source, whereas mercury degasses mainly at the dynamic stage immediately before fracture of the sample. 相似文献

Upper mantle low anisotropy channels below the Pacific Plate 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
J.-P Montagner 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》2002,202(2):263-274
A new 3D anisotropic model has been obtained at a global scale by using a massive dataset of seismic surface waves. Though seismic heterogeneities are usually interpreted in terms of heterogeneous temperature field, a large part of lateral variations are also induced by seismic anisotropy of upper mantle minerals. New insight into convection processes can be gained by taking seismic anisotropy into account in the inversion procedure. The model is best resolved in the Pacific Plate, the largest and the most active tectonic plate. Superimposed on the large-scale radial (ξ parameter) and azimuthal anisotropy (of VSV velocity) within and below the lithosphere, correlated with present or past Pacific Plate motions, are smaller-scale (<1000 km) lateral variations of anisotropy not predicted by plate tectonics. Channels of low anisotropy down to a depth of 200 km (hereafter referred to as LAC) are observed and are the best resolved anomalies: one east-west channel between Easter Island and the Tonga-Kermadec subduction zones (observed on both radial and azimuthal anisotropies) and a second one (only observed on azimuthal anisotropy) extending from the south-west Pacific up to south-east Hawaii, and passing through the Polynesia hotspot group for plate older than about 40 Ma. These features provide strong constraints on the decoupling between the plate and asthenosphere. They are presumably related to cracking within the Pacific Plate and/or to secondary convection below the rigid lithosphere, predicted by numerical and analog experiments. The existence and location of these LACs might be related to the current active volcanoes and hotspots (possibly plumes) in the Central Pacific. LACs, which are dividing the Pacific Plate into smaller units, might indicate a future reorganization of plates with ridge migrations in the Pacific Ocean. 相似文献

储层中的裂隙会导致介质表现出各向异性.传统等效介质方法假定储层可以被等效成为横向各向同性介质,不适用于复杂裂缝储层的弹性等效建模和各向异性特征分析.本文在前人研究基础上,利用最小二乘方法开展3D复杂裂隙弹性等效数值模拟研究,并与常规等效介质理论方法进行比较,验证数值方法的精确性.数值方法不仅能有效避免Hudson理论和Eshelby-Cheng理论等解析方法在大裂隙密度条件下的参数估计误差,而且兼顾裂隙扰动作用对等效介质参数的影响.数值研究表明,数值方法能够较好地描述复杂裂缝介质的各向异性特征,为复杂裂缝储层地震波各向异性参数反演提供依据. 相似文献

In marine acquisition, reflections of sound energy from the water–air interface result in ghosts in the seismic data, both in the source side and the receiver side. Ghosts limit the bandwidth of the useful signal and blur the final image. The process to separate the ghost and primary signals, called the deghosting process, can fill the ghost notch, broaden the frequency band, and help achieve high‐resolution images. Low‐signal‐to‐noise ratio near the notch frequencies and 3D effects are two challenges that the deghosting process has to face. In this paper, starting from an introduction to the deghosting process, we present and compare two strategies to solve the latter. The first is an adaptive mechanism that adjusts the deghosting operator to compensate for 3D effects or errors in source/receiver depth measurement. This method does not include explicitly the crossline slowness component and is not affected by the sparse sampling in the same direction. The second method is an inversion‐type approach that does include the crossline slowness component in the algorithm and handles the 3D effects explicitly. Both synthetic and field data examples in wide azimuth acquisition settings are shown to compare the two strategies. Both methods provide satisfactory results. 相似文献

表面多次波是海洋地震勘探中的主要问题.目前,二维数据驱动的表面多次波压制技术(SRME)已经比较成熟,并且已经成为工业界压制海洋表面多次波的主流方法.但是由于二维SRME算法没有考虑横测线方向上多次波的贡献,导致在处理实际三维海洋资料时存在比较大的误差.将二维SRME算法扩展到三维空间后可以得到三维SRME算法,但是由于目前实际采集的三维海洋资料的观测系统存在拖缆漂移,而且横测线方向采样过于稀疏,直接应用三维SRME算法无法准确预测表面多次波.本文提出的通过数据规则化配合稀疏反演的三维表面多次波压制方法能够解决这种实际资料和三维SRME算法之间的矛盾.本文通过研究数据规则化与反规则化技术,使得数据分布满足三维SRME的要求;通过研究稀疏反演技术,有效解决了横测线方向采样稀疏对于多次波预测的影响,三维实际海洋资料的应用结果验证了方法的有效性和可行性. 相似文献

针对2015年4月25日发生于印度板块北边界中段的尼泊尔8.1级地震后,青藏高原中强以上地震活动呈现NE向条带分布的现象,本文将区域地质构造动力环境和以GPS水平位移为约束的数值模拟相结合,初步分析研究了这一地震活动条带的基本特征和形成机理;进而将其与1996年前后出现在青藏高原及东北部邻区的"西藏榭通门-内蒙古包头"NE向地震活动条带、以及该条带形成后强震活动由东向西的迁移状况进行比较,探讨了目前的NE向地震活动条带对未来强震活动趋势的预示意义。结果认为:尼泊尔8.1级地震后青藏高原NE向中强以上地震活动条带,是在印度板块北推挤压动力持续作用下,因青藏高原NE向构造应力加强引起的构造活动响应,并与尼泊尔大地震低角度逆冲错动和地壳介质能量传递影响有关;而未来地震趋势可能使该条带附近强震活动"填空",进而使该条带东、西两侧较大范围强震活动性增强。 相似文献
