Seismic bearing capacity of shallow strip footings in soil has been obtained in the form of pseudo-static seismic bearing capacity factors N_cd, N_qd and N_d, denoting the cohesion, surcharge and unit weight components, respectively, by an extensive numerical iteration technique. Limit equilibrium method of analysis with composite failure surface is assumed. The validity of the principle of superposition is examined. Effects of both the horizontal and vertical seismic acceleration coefficients have been found to always reduce the ultimate bearing capacity significantly. Results obtained by the present method of analysis are compared with the available results and are found to be the least in the seismic case.  相似文献   

Optimum design of nailed soil slopes   总被引：12，自引：0，他引：12  

C.?R.?PatraEmail author  P.?K.?Basudhar 《Geotechnical and Geological Engineering》2005,23(3):273-296

In this paper, a generalized method of computer based optimum design of soil-nailed slopes is reported. A limit equilibrium formulation satisfying overall and internal equilibrium and considering the effect of tensile resistance of the reinforcement has been used in computing the stability of nailed slopes. The quantity of steel requirement for raising the factor of safety to a desired value is estimated. The location, size (length and diameter) and orientation of the nails and the location and shape of the critical shear surface have been treated as variables. The solutions have been isolated by formulating the problem as one of non-linear programming. The applicability of the developed method has been verified by comparing the predicted failure surfaces with those observed in model tests as well as in the field and also reported theoretical results.  相似文献

Non-Existence Of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Dimensional Static Plane Symmetric Solutions In Bimetric Relativity Theory     

K.?S.?AdhavEmail author  S.?D.?Katore  S.?V.?Thakare 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2005,299(3):233-238

A problem of static plane symmetric metric in the perfect fluid, the mesonic massive scalar field and in their coupling is studied in Rosen’s (1973) bimetric theory of relativity. It was found that the matter field like either perfect fluid or mesonic massive scalar field or their coupling does not survive in bimetric theory of gravitation when the space–time is governed by n-dimensional static plane symmetric metric.  相似文献

Morphotectonic evaluation of the Delhi region in northern India,and its significance in environmental management     

B.?L.?Kaul  M.?K.?PanditEmail author 《Environmental Geology》2004,46(8):1118-1122

This paper deals with the morphotectonic evaluation of the Delhi region in northern India to understand its impact on land use and urban development. To accommodate heavy urbanization and population rise (being the capital of India), the area has undergone tremendous environmental degradation resulting from a mismatch between adopted land use and morphotectonic considerations. The geomorphic and drainage signatures of the region have evolved out of interaction of varied geological parameters including neotectonic activities. We have evaluated the changes in the drainage pattern of the Yamuna River in the Delhi region to underline its significance in geomorphic evolution and subsequent land use and/or land suitability. The Yamuna River has shown variations both in channel position and geometry over the last two centuries. The observed migration pattern of the river (shifting of confluences, position and disposition of palaeochannels, etc.,) cannot be attributed to normal river phenomenon and appears to have been effected by neotectonic changes. In addition, some case studies are discussed to underline the significance of geomorphic factors in urban development.  相似文献   

A simplified method for simulation of strong ground motion using finite rupture model of the earthquake source     

A.?JoshiEmail author  S.?Midorikawa 《Journal of Seismology》2004,8(4):467-484

We present a simplified method to simulate strong ground motion for a realistic representation of a finite earthquake source burried in a layered earth. This method is based on the stochastic simulation method of Boore (Boore, D. M., 1983, Bull. Seism. Soc. Am. 73, 1865–1894) and the Empirical Greens Function (EFG) method of Irikura (Irikura, K., 1986, Proceedings of the 7th Japan Earthquake symposium, pp. 151–156). The rupture responsible for an earthquake is represented by several subfaults. The geometry of subfaults and their number is decided by the similarity relationships. For simulation of ground motion using the stochastic simulation technique we used the shapping window based on the kinetic source model of the rupture plane. The shaping window deepens on the geometry of the earthquake source and the propagation characteristics of the energy released by various subfaults. The division of large fault into small subfaults and the method for accounting their contribution at the surface is identical to the EGF. The shapping window has been modified to take into account the effect of the transmission of energy released form the finite fault at various boundaries of the layered earth model above the source. In the present method we have applied the correction factor to adjust slip time function of small and large earthquakes. The correction factor is used to simulate strong motion records having basic spectral shape of ² source model in broad frequency range. To test this method we have used the strong motion data of the Geiyo earthquake of 24th March 2001, Japan recorded by KiK network. The source of this earthquake is modelled by a simple rectangular rupture of size 24 × 15 km, burried at a depth of 31 km in a multilayered earth model. This rupture plane is divided into 16 rectangular subfaults of size 6.0 × 3.75 km each. Strong motion records at eight selected near-field stations were simulated and compared with the observed records in terms of the acceleration and velocity records and their response spectrum. The comparison confirms the suitability of proposed rupture model responsible for this earthquake and the efficacy of the approach in predicting the strong motion scenario of earthquakes in the subduction zone. Using the same rupture model of the Geiyo earthquake, we compared the simulated records from our and the EGF techniques at one near-field station. The comparison shows that this technique gives records which matches in a wide frequency range and that too from simple and easily accessible parameters of burried rupture.  相似文献

滇黔桂盆地及邻区的二叠系包括船山统、阳新统和乐平统。船山统与阳新统之交的黔桂运动主幕不整合面、阳新统和乐平统之交的东吴运动主幕不整合面的不整合特征明显,同时因其代表了研究区沉积盆地性质发生较大变化的界面而成为较为典型的I型层序界面。滇黔桂盆地及邻区的二叠系以其明显的沉积相分异而引人注目：在连陆台地上发育含煤地层,而在连陆台地边缘及孤立台地上发育海绵生物礁,形成一个典型的“台-盆-丘-槽”的古地理格局。伴随着强烈的东吴运动第一幕,研究区西北部发生强烈的火山活动,形成分布范围较广的峨嵋山玄武岩;东南部的“钦防残留海槽”关闭,使研究区的古地理格局发生了较大变化。二叠系与三叠系之交发生的较为典型的台地淹没事件形成了一个较为典型的淹没不整合面。根据沉积物的时间演化序列和沉积相的空间展布形式所指示的规律,研究区的二叠系可以划分为以下三级层序：船山统与下伏石炭系顶部的地层构成一个三级层序(SQ¹⁹),阳新统包含四个三级层序(SQ²⁰到SQ²³),乐平统包括两个三级层序(SQ²⁴和SQ²⁵)。在层序地层框架内,系列古地理图和系列层序地层格架栅状图较为系统地反映了研究区二叠纪复杂而有序的时间和空间相变特征。主要的时间相变面即形成层序界面,具有明显的“跳相”和地层间断现象,由于在不同地点间断的时限不一致而造成“间断面穿时”;沉积环境的空间变化,以及伴随着时间变化中的相带迁移所造成的空间相变,其相应的相变面总是斜交时间面而造成“相变面穿时”;不同沉积阶段的层序具有不同的相序组构,并在空间上形成有序的变化,从而代表了不同的古地理背景。因此,层序地层研究的核心内容是“沉积物的时间演变序列和沉积相的空间展布形式所代表的规律性”,结合生物地层特征,这种规律性本身也可以作为地层划分和对比的标志。  相似文献

We present MUSE, a software framework for combining existing computational tools for different astrophysical domains into a single multiphysics, multiscale application. MUSE facilitates the coupling of existing codes written in different languages by providing inter-language tools and by specifying an interface between each module and the framework that represents a balance between generality and computational efficiency. This approach allows scientists to use combinations of codes to solve highly coupled problems without the need to write new codes for other domains or significantly alter their existing codes. MUSE currently incorporates the domains of stellar dynamics, stellar evolution and stellar hydrodynamics for studying generalized stellar systems. We have now reached a “Noah’s Ark” milestone, with (at least) two available numerical solvers for each domain. MUSE can treat multiscale and multiphysics systems in which the time- and size-scales are well separated, like simulating the evolution of planetary systems, small stellar associations, dense stellar clusters, galaxies and galactic nuclei. In this paper we describe three examples calculated using MUSE: the merger of two galaxies, the merger of two evolving stars, and a hybrid N-body simulation. In addition, we demonstrate an implementation of MUSE on a distributed computer which may also include special-purpose hardware, such as GRAPEs or GPUs, to accelerate computations. The current MUSE code base is publicly available as open source at http://muse.li.  相似文献
