Physical modeling tests were conducted on pile foundations to measure the seismic performance of a new ground improvement technology, called passive site stabilization, for use on sites susceptible to liquefaction and liquefaction-induced lateral spreading. The method involves the slow injection of a low-viscosity stabilizer in conjunction with the natural groundwater flow. The effectiveness of the treatment using dilute colloidal silica as the stabilizer was tested by two centrifuge models that simulated soil–pile interaction of a 2×2 end-bearing pile group embedded in a multilayer soil deposit of 10-m thickness. The models utilized a laminar box and involved gently inclined soil profiles with and without the applied soil improvement. Response of the pile groups and the lateral spreading behaviors of the treated and untreated soil under a simulated base shaking were investigated and compared. The results showed that treatment with dilute colloidal silica stabilizer minimized permanent lateral deformations and reduced the liquefaction potential of the soil. Significant reductions occurred in the measured pile bending moments and axial forces because the layer treated with dilute colloidal silica did not liquefy. Thus, the technique can be an alternative to traditional methods of ground improvement.  相似文献   

Mass balance of dissolved lithium in the oceans     

Patricia Stoffynegli  Fred T Mackenzie 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1984,48(4):859-872

A tentative mass balance of dissolved Li in the oceans suggests that basalt-seawater reactions play an important role in the Li cycle. However, removal of dissolved Li by basalt during reactions at low or moderate temperatures cannot compensate totally for inputs owing to basalt-seawater reactions at high temperatures and to continental run-off. We propose that the Li budget in the oceans is balanced by incorporation of Li into authigenic clay minerals. Li concentration profiles in the water column support this model. Basalt-seawater reactions at high temperatures seem to affect strongly the distribution of dissolved Li in interstitial waters of overlying sediments, suggesting that this element can be used as an indicator of hydrothermal reactions in the basaltic basement.  相似文献   

Magmas,mineralization and sea-floor spreading     

J. B. Wright  Patricia Mc Curry 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1973,62(1):116-125

Relationships between granite bodies and mineralization in Nigeria and southwest England are cited as examples to support the thesis that ore solutions associated with igneous bodies do not necessarily develop by magmatic crystallization processes, but may form as independent by-products of magma generation. Similar conclusions have been reached for the metal provinces of western North America (Noble, 1970). Some hydrothermal solutions develop by expulsion of connate brines, mobilized by the passage of hot magma through sediments. Others may develop at deeper levels.Long-lived geochemical culminations in the deep crust or upper mantle (Schuiling, 1967) provide a possible source of reactivated metalliferous emanations in both nonorogenic and orogenic environments. An additional source of metals for ore deposits associated with island arcs and continental margin tectonism and igneous activity, may be provided by the mechanism of sea-floor spreading.The bulk of ocean floor sediments is scraped off and acreted onto non-descending crustal plates at subduction zones²). However, if the lowermost layers of these sediments are sufficiently compacted, they may be carried down into the mantle on the descending oceanic plate.They contain considerable amounts of heavy metals, which could be remobilized to reappear as ore deposits in island arcs and mountain chains of Andean type.In this way, the major episode of late Mesozoic underflow of the northeastern Pacific floor beneath western North America may have been responsible for much of the contemporaneous mineralization of that region. If this view is correct, much of the rich mineralization in the Andes may have a similar origin.Differences in amount and composition of sea floor sediment consumed, could account for regional changes in metal provinces along the tectonic grain. Remobilization of metals at different depths along Benioff zones could explain regional changes across the tectonic grain.

Zusammenfassung Beziehungen zwischen Granitkörpern und Mineralisation in Nigeria und Südwest-England werden als Beispiele angeführt, um die These zu stützen, daß Erzlösungen in Verbindung mit Magmatit-Körpern sich nicht notwendigerweise von magmatischen Kristallisationsprozessen ableiten, sondern sich als unabhängige Nebenprodukte bei der Magmenerzeugung bilden können.Ähnliche Schlußfolgerungen sind für die Erzprovinzen des westlichen Nordamerika gezogen worden (Noble, 1970). Einige hydrothermale Lösungen entwickeln sich durch Ausstoß von connaten Laugen, mobilisiert durch das Durchströmen heißer Magma durch Sedimente. Andere mögen sich in tieferem Niveau entwickeln.Langandauernde geochemische Kulminationen in der tiefen Erdkruste oder im oberen Mantel (Schuiling, 1967) schaffen eine mögliche Quelle von reaktivierten, metallhaltigen Emanationen sowohl unter nichtorogenen als auch unter orogenen Bedingungen. Eine zusätzliche Quelle von Metallen für Erzlagerstätten, die an Inselbögen und Kontinentalrand-Tektonik sowie magmatische Aktivität gebunden sind, mag durch den Mechanismus des Sea Floor Spreading hervorgerufen werden.Die Masse der Ozeanboden-Sedimente wird abgetragen und auf nicht absteigenden Krusten-Plateaus tieferer Zonen angehäuft¹). Wenn jedoch die untersten Schichten ausreichend verdichtet sind, können sie in den Erdmantel auf dem sinkenden Ozean-Plateau hinabgelangen. Sie enthalten beträchtliche Mengen von Schwermetallen, die als Erzlagerstätten remobilisiert in Inselbögen und Gebirgsketten vom Anden-Typus wieder in Erscheinung treten können.Auf diese Weise mag die größere Episode der spät-mesozoischen Unterströmung des nordöstlichen Pazifikbodens unter das westliche Nordamerika für den Hauptanteil der gleichzeitigen Mineralisation dieser Region verantwortlich gewesen sein. Falls dieser Gesichtspunkt richtig ist, mögen viele der reichen Mineralisationen in den Anden einen ähnlichen Ursprung haben.Unterschiede in Menge und Zusammensetzung des aufgezehrten Maaresbodensediments könnten als regionale Veränderungen in Metallprovinzen entlang der tektonischen Struktur gedeutet werden. Remobilisierung von Metallen in verschiedenen Tiefen entlang der Benioff-Zonen könnten regionale Veränderungen quer zur tektonischen Richtung erklären.

Résumé Les auteurs prennent comme exemple les rapports existant entre les corps granitiques et la minéralisation en Nigérie et dans le sud-ouest de l'Angleterre pour soutenir la thèse que les solutions minéralisantes associées avec les corps magmatiques, ne se développent pas nécessairement à partir de processus de cristallisation magmatiques, mais peuvent se former comme sous-produits indépendants de la génération du magma. Semblables conclusions ont été tirées pour les provinces métalliques de l'ouest de l'Amérique du Nord (Noble, 1970). Quelques solutions hydrothermales se développent par l'expulsion de saumures connées, mobilisées par le passage du magma chaud à travers des sédiments. D'autres peuvent se développer à des niveaux plus profonds.Des culminations géochimiques de longue durée dans la croûte terrestre ou dans le manteau supérieur (Schuiling, 1967) fournissent une source possible d'émanations métallifères réactivées, dans des conditions aussi bien non-orogéniques qu'orogéniques. Une source additionelle de métaux pour les gisements qui, comme l'activité magmatique, sont associés avec les guirlandes d'îles et avec la tectonique propre à la bordure continentale, peut être fournie par le mécanisme de l'expansion du fond des mers.La masse des sédiments du fond océanique est érodée et accumulée sur des plateaux crustaux, non en voie d'affaissements de zones plus profondes³).Quand cependant les couches plus inférieures de ces sédements sont suffisamment compactées, elles peuvent être entraînées dans le manteau sur le plateau océanique en voie d'affaissement.Elles contiennent des quantités considéreables de métaux lourds qui, remobilisés sous la forme de gisements de minerais, peuvent apparaître dans les guirlandes d'îles et les chaînes de montagnes de type andin.De cette façon, l'épisode majeur de la subduction, survenue au Mésozoïque supérieur, du fond du Pacifique NE sous l'ouest de l'Amérique du Nord peut avoir été responsable de la majeure partie de la minéralisation de cette région. Si cette opinion est juste, beaucoup de riches minéralisations rencontrées dans les Andes pourraient avoir une origine similaire.Des différences dans la quantité et la composition du sédiment océanique absorbé pourraient expliquer les changements régionaux dans les provinces métalliques tout le long de la structure tectonique. La remobilisation des métaux à des profondeurs différentes le long des zones Benioff pourrait expliquer les changements régionaux survenant transversalement à la direction tectonique.

Simulating midday all-slope surface temperatures along a climatic-latitudinal transect during cloudless summer conditions     

Werner H. Terjung  Patricia A. O'Rourke 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1982,24(4):481-493

Two physically-models of solar radiation transmission and of a steady-state slope energy budget have been coupled. Using climatic observational inputs, averaged in 10-deg latitude bands, a systematic examination was made of changing surface temperatures and differences between surface and air temperatures as functions of varying slope angles (0 to 90 deg) and orientations (south-, west-, and north-facing). Along a latitudinal transect of the east coast of the Americas (northern hemisphere), two contrasting landscapes were examined: barren and grassy. No simple relationship was discovered among the factors regarding shortwave and longwave radiative absorption, components of the energy budget, and surface temperature trends, yet the response of temperatures on a latitudinal basis was systematic and orderly. Characteristically, a great diversity existed among surface temperatures of different slopes and orientations at any particular latitude. Such diversity was accentuated in the higher latitudes. The findings were assumed general enough to encompass most of the possible contrasts encountered in a real-world north-south transect.Dr. O'Rourke is currently a Visiting Scholar at UCLA from Litton Systems, Inc., Data Systems Division.  相似文献

An empirical test of sample size and precision of Robin's method of strain analysis     

Patricia Schnorr  W.M Schwerdtner   《Tectonophysics》1981,73(4):T1-T8

Using Robin's method of strain analysis, we attempted to determine empirically how many inclusions must be measured to obtain principal strain ratios that are reproducible within ± 10%. Six large specimens of deformed leuco-granite with strained lenticular quartz aggregates were studied from a crescentic pluton in the Grenville Province of southeastern Ontario.Between 63 and 177 inclusions were measured per specimen face, and principal strain ratios calculated on that basis. Using sets of 100 measurements, ten separate strain ratios were calculated for each sample size of 10, 15, 20, … 45 inclusions drawn at random from each data set. Only about 35 inclusions need to be measured per specimen face to obtain strain ratios within ± 10%.  相似文献   

Toxicities of ten metals to Crassostrea gigas and Mytilus edulis embryos and Cancer magister larvae     

Michael Martin  Kenneth E. Osborn  Patricia Billig  Neil Glickstein 《Marine pollution bulletin》1981,12(9):305-308

Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas Thunberg) embryos, bay mussel (Mytilus edulis Linnaeus) embryos, and Dungeness crab (Cancer magister Dana) zoea I stage larvae were exposed to arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium, silver, and zinc salts. The two bivalve species were exposed through the completion of embryogenesis (48 h), and the effects of the metals upon abnormal development were monitored. The crab larval stages were exposed to the metal solutions for 96 h. Concentrations (μg l_.^?1 as metal) which caused 50% abnormal development in the two species of bivalve larvae and which were fatal to 50% of the crab larvae ranged from 5.3 (oyster) to 49 (crab) for copper; 5.8 (mussel) to 8.2 (crab) for mercury; 14 (mussel) to 55 (crab) for silver; 119 (oyster) to 456 (crab) for zinc; 232 (crab) to 3000 (mussel) for arsenic; 247 (crab) to 1200 (mussel) for cadmium; 349 (oyster) to 4360 (crab) for nickel; 476 (mussel) to 758 (oyster) for lead; 3440 (crab) to 4538 (oyster) for hexavalent chromium; and selenium greater than 10 000 for the three species. The acute toxicity testing of C. gigas embryo together with two California native species confirmed its usefulness for predicting toxicity to the latter species.  相似文献
