Pseudodynamic tests on rubber base isolators with numerical substructuring of the superstructure and strain‐rate effect compensation

A pseudodynamic testing procedure has been applied by which the seismic response of a base‐isolated building is obtained by using as specimen the isolators, while the superstructure is numerically simulated. The procedure also takes advantage of the continuous pseudodynamic testing capabilities of the ELSA laboratory, which increase the accuracy of the results and reduce the strain‐rate effect of the rubber bearings. A simple proportional correction of the measured forces compensates the remaining strain‐rate effect due to the unrealistic speed of the test. The correction factor is obtained by means of a characterizing test on the specific rubber isolators. The developed method has been successfully applied to the prediction of the seismic response of a base‐isolated four‐storey building submitted to several specified accelerograms. The results for those earthquakes as well as the effects of some changes of the parameters of the system are discussed. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Mobility of Phosphorus during the Weathering of Volcanic Ashes     

S. B. Felitsyn  V. Yu. Kirianov 《Lithology and Mineral Resources》2002,37(3):275-278

Data are presented on phosphorus mobility during the weathering of rhyolite–dacite tephra of the modern and ancient eruptions. Distal tephra cannot be considered a phosphorus source, since phosphorous has low mobility during weathering both in subaerial and subaqueous sedimentation conditions. However, volcanic ashes exert a fertilization effect, providing the supply of nutrient elements into the ecosystem of internal basins and coastal zones.  相似文献   

Chemical composition of stars in the galactic halo     

S. V. Ermakov  V. G. Klochkova  V. E. Panchuk  G. Zhao 《Astronomy Reports》2002,46(11):874-886

The chemical compositions of the atmospheres of six metal-poor stars are analyzed. Spectra with signal-to-noise ratios of no less than 100 and a resolution of R≈17 000 were obtained using the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The abundances of Li, O, α-process elements (Mg, Si, Ca, Ti), Na, K, Sc, iron-peak elements (Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn), and s-process elements (Y, Ba) are derived. The star G251-54 ([Fe/H]=?1.55, T _eff=5541 K, logg=3.58) is deficient in some elements compared to both stars with similar metallicities and the Sun. The atmosphere of G251-54 has the following elemental abundances relative to iron: [O/Fe]=+0.47, [α/Fe]≈?0.3, [Na/Fe]=?0.60, [Sc/Fe]=?0.57, [Cr, Ni, Fe]≈0, [Zn/Fe]=+0.16, [Cu/Fe]=?0.66, [Y/Fe]=?0.70, and [Ba/Fe]=?1.35. The remaining five stars have metallicities in the range ?1.6<[Fe/H]相似文献   

Facies Associations of Riphean Sedimentary Sequences     

A. V. Maslov 《Lithology and Mineral Resources》2002,37(5):462-474

Large-scale facies associations typical of intra- and pericratonic Riphean sections of the Volga–Ural region, western slope of the Urals, Timan–Pechora region, Kola Peninsula, outer and inner parts of the Siberian, North American, and Indian platforms are considered. The reconstruction of their lateral and vertical relationships makes it possible to reconstruct principal trends in the evolution of late Precambrian sedimentary basins. Recommended special studies aimed at the restoration of spatial architecture of associations retained in fragments of Riphean sedimentary basins could yield a substantially new information on the basin filling. Such approach has important implications for estimation of the potential of late Precambrian sedimentary basins with respect to the exploration for mineral resources including hydrocarbons.  相似文献   

Specific Compositional Features of Sediments from the Haakon Mosby Mud Volcano,Southwestern Barents Sea     

Krupskaya  V. V.  Andreeva  I. A.  Sergeeva  E. I.  Cherkashev  G. A. 《Lithology and Mineral Resources》2002,37(2):130-137

The submarine Haakon Mosby mud volcano was studied in detail during several cruises, resulting in the collection of an abundant and diverse lithological material. Comprehensive field and laboratory studies made it possible to identify different types of sediments with specific granulometric and pelite fraction (<0.005 mm) compositions, as well as the regularity of their spatial distribution relative to various morphostructural zones of the mud volcano.  相似文献   

Seismic Hazard for Selected Sites in Greece: A Bayesian Estimate of Seismic Peak Ground Acceleration   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1  

A. A. Lyubushin  T. M. Tsapanos  V. F. Pisarenko  G. Ch. Koravos 《Natural Hazards》2002,25(1):83-98

A procedure for estimating maximum values of seismic peak ground accelerationat the examined site and quantiles of its probabilistic distribution in a future timeinterval of a given length is considered. The input information for the method areseismic catalog and regression relation between peak seismic acceleration at a givenpoint and magnitude and distance from the site to epicenter (seismic attenuation law).The method is based on Bayesian approach, which simply accounts for influenceof uncertainties of seismic acceleration values. The main assumptions for the method are Poissonian character of seismic events flow and distribution law of Gutenberg-Richter's type. The method is applied to seismic hazard estimation in six selected sitesin Greece.  相似文献

Intermediate-brightness equatorial spectrophotometric standards     

V. M. Tereshchenko 《Astronomy Reports》2002,46(3):224-232

We have obtained spectral energy distributions for 41 7^m–8^m stars near the celestial equator (δ=±3°). The λλ3100–7600 Å spectral range is studied with a spectral resolution of 50 Å. The relative rms error in the visible is 1–2%, increasing to 3–5% towards the edges of the wavelength interval studied. All stars are referenced to a single standard, the circumpolar star HD 221525. The synthetic colors of common stars are compared with those observed in four photometric systems: U BV, W BV R, uvby, and that of the TYCHO catalog. The program stars are recommended as secondary spectrophotometric standards.  相似文献   

Peculiarities of the Lithology of Neopleistocene–Holocene Sediments in the Russian Arctic     

Kosheleva  V. A. 《Lithology and Mineral Resources》2002,37(2):137-147

A comprehensive lithological–geochemical study of Neopleistocene–Holocene sediments from Russian Arctic showed that these sediments formed in rather similar sedimentation conditions, which were common for polar lithogenesis. This is reflected in the lithology of bottom sediments and their relatively close compositions.  相似文献   

The Cone-in-Cone Structure and Its Origin   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Kolokol'tsev  V. G. 《Lithology and Mineral Resources》2002,37(6):523-535

Morphostructural investigation of carbonate cone-in-cone formations allows to conclude that they belong to self-organizing (dissipative, according to I. Prigogine's terminology) systems of the geological past formed in a thermogradient field at the expense of energy of heat and mass transfer (Prigogine and Stengers, 1984). First, the fluid-convective metasomatic hypothesis unites and reconciles the most well-known hypotheses that previously seemed to be incompatible and transforms them to rather consistent particular cases of a more intricate multistage geological phenomenon. Second, it helps to identify the morphologically and genetically analogous noncarbonate structures that mimic biogenic ones. The probable indicative role of cone-in-cone structure in the mapping of fluid-conducting systems is a consequence of the proposed hypothesis.  相似文献
