In this study, we address the effective method to apply a novel reliability method integrated with finite element models to
the safety assessment of pilot site Scheldt in the Netherlands. This site was considered as one of the three main pilot sites
in Europe to assess the application of newly suggested techniques in order to reduce and manage the flood risk in the Floodsite
project. , 2004–2009). The novel method of dynamic bounds (DB) is applied to this site after a successful experience in (Rajabalinejad in Reliability
methods for finite element models, 1 edn. IOS Press, Amsterdam, 2009). In this study, the bi-functional response of the finite element model is considered, and the dimensional uncertainty is
defined presenting the expected uncertainty for a certain dimension in the DB method. The uncertainty is used as a judgment
tool to choose the dimension for the DB method for the desired accuracy. The results obtained by applying this technique are
presented in this paper. 相似文献
We used new precise leveling data acquired 40 days after the Bam earthquake in combination with radar interferometry observations
from both ascending and descending orbits to investigate static deformation associated with the 2003 Bam earthquake. We invert
this geodetic data set to gain insight into the fault geometry and slip distribution of the rupture. The best-fitting dislocation
model is a steeply east-dipping right-lateral strike-slip fault that has a size of 11 by 8 km and strikes N2°W. We find that
such smooth geometry fits available geodetic data better than previously proposed models for this earthquake. Our distributed
slip model indicates a maximum strike slip of 3 m occurring about 3 to 5 km deep. The slip magnitude and depth of faulting
taper to the north, where the fault approaches the Bam city. Inclusion of crustal layering increases the amount of maximum
slip inferred at depth by about 4%. 相似文献

Petrophysical properties have played an important and definitive role in the study of oil and gas reservoirs, necessitating that diverse kinds of information are used to infer these properties. In this study, the seismic data related to the Hendijan oil field were utilised, along with the available logs of 7 wells of this field, in order to use the extracted relationships between seismic attributes and the values of the shale volume in the wells to estimate the shale volume in wells intervals. After the overall survey of data, a seismic line was selected and seismic inversion methods (model-based, band limited and sparse spike inversion) were applied to it. Amongst all of these techniques, the model-based method presented the better results. By using seismic attributes and artificial neural networks, the shale volume was then estimated using three types of neural networks, namely the probabilistic neural network (PNN), multi-layer feed-forward network (MLFN) and radial basic function network (RBFN). 相似文献
The Dena rainstorm in Iran in March and April 2019 caused about US$ 8.3?×?109 damage in the country; however, it resulted in the replenishment of half of the dam reservoirs and 35% of ponds and lakes. Also, it increased the volume of groundwater stored in aquifers by 3.6?×?109 m3. In arid and semiarid regions such as most parts of Iran, which usually face water scarcity, getting water from rainstorms is essential for replenishing water resources. This research aims to quantify the direct and indirect effects of the Dena rainstorm on the replenishment of Iran’s groundwater storage using the groundwater balance method and water-table fluctuation method. Studies showed that the main mechanisms for replenishment of groundwater storage due to the rainstorm included increases in precipitation recharge, surface runoff recharge, and artificial recharge, and reductions in irrigation withdrawal and evapotranspiration, while the contribution of each factor is estimated to be about 23, 28, 2, 15, and 32%, respectively.
