Mechanical compression release device in steel bracing system for retrofitting RC frames     

H. Ghaffarzadeh M.R. Maheri 《地震工程与工程振动(英文版)》2006,5(1):151-158

1 Introduction Braced steel frames are commonly used to resist seismic loads. Their seismic behavior was extensively studied during the past decades (Bertero et al.., 1989; Roeder, 1989; Jain, 1978). Their design is governed by the buckling behavior of the bracing members (ASCE, 1994,2002; CSA, 1994). To prevent or delay the seismic buckling of compressive members in concentrically braced frames in steel structures, a great number of methods have been proposed. These include the use of sp…  相似文献   

A Modified Form of Mild-Slope Equation with Weakly Nonlinear Effect   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6

Nonlinear effect is of importance to waves propagating from deep water to shallow water.Thenon-linearity of waves is widely discussed due to its high precision in application.But there are still someproblems in dealing with the nonlinear waves in practice.In this paper,a modified form of mild-slope equa-tion with weakly nonlinear effect is derived by use of the nonlinear dispersion relation and the steady mild-slope equation containing energy dissipation.The modified form of mild-slope equation is convenient to solvenonlinear effect of waves.The model is tested against the laboratory measurement for the case of a submergedelliptical shoal on a slope beach given by Berkhoff et al,The present numerical results are also comparedwith those obtained through linear wave theory.Better agreement is obtained as the modified mild-slope e-quation is employed.And the modified mild-slope equation can reasonably simulate the weakly nonlinear ef-fect of wave propagation from deep water to coast.  相似文献

1 Introduction High mountain landscapes above the tree-line are often regarded as close to nature, although human impact has obviously changed the environment, partly exceeding its carrying capac- ity (L?ffler, 2000). Due to their fragility regarding expected environmental changes and an increasing land use pressure in many regions, high mountain landscapes recently became a major focus within the discussion on a sustainable development in a worldwide (Messerli and Ives, 1997), and regional p…  相似文献   

Decollements in slate belts,examples from the European variscides and the Qin Ling Belt of Central China     

Dr. Ph. Matte  Q. Xu Zhi 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1988,77(1):227-238

Decollements are conspicuous features of collision belts as a result of shortening and shearing of rocks of different competencies in response to intracontinental subduction and crustal stacking. When these decollements occur at upper levels, the classical thin skin tectonics of the foredeeps without important internal strain results; at mid crustal levels slaty cleavage and foliation development occurs. In the more internal parts of the chains, in the lower crust, near the crust mantle boundary, the more severe conditions (granulitic metamorphism) result in ductile deformation in the deepest parts of the mountain belts. Examples of middle and lower crust are well documented in Central China and the Variscan Belt of Europe from field evidence and deep seismic profiling.From these examples it appears more and more likely that most of the mid-crustal slate belts showing vertical slaty cleavage at the erosion surface overly flat decollements.At greater depth large decollements must occur as well in the lower continental crust and at crust-mantle boundary. Typical features of the deep seismic vertical profiles such as the strongly layered lower crust may represent the image of such deep decollements.

Zusammenfassung Abscherungen sind charakteristische Strukturen von Kollisions-Orogenen. Sie sind das Ergebnis von Verkürzung und Scherung verschieden kompetenter Gesteine infolge intrakontinentaler Subduktion und Krustenüberlagerung. Zu unterscheiden sind Überschiebungen oberer Zonen, wie in den Randgebirgsbereichen ohne bedeutende innere Deformation, von internen metamorphen Zonen mit Schieferung und Plättung. In den tiefen Krustenzonen und im Krusten-Mantelbereich gehen sie einher mit hochgradiger Metamorphose, allgemein in der Granulitfazies.Beispiele der mittleren und tiefen Zonen sind gut erschlossen im paleozoischen Orogen Zentralchinas und im Variszikum Europas und belegt sowohl durch die Geologie wie tiefenseismische Profile. Diese Beispiele zeigen mehr und mehr, daß geschieferte Gebirgsstockwerke mit an der Oberfläche steilstehender Schieferung von flachen Abscherungen unterlagert werden.Die typische Erscheinung einer seismisch gut geschichteten Strukturierung der Unterkruste könnte in dieser Hinsicht als Deckenbahnen interpretiert werden.

Résumé Les décollements sont des structures typiques des chaînes de collision. Ils résultent du raccourcissement et du cisaillement de roches de différentes compétences en réponse à la subduction continentale et à l'empilement crustal. On peut distinguer des décollements superficiels surtout dans les bassins d'avant chaîne où les roches charriées ont subi une déformation interne faible à nulle (plis et chevauchements sans schistosité). Des décollements plus profonds dans le tiers supérieur de la croûte accompagnés de schistosité et de foliation, dans les parties plus internes métamorphiques des chaînes. Enfin des décollements très profonds à la base de la croûte ou entre croûte et manteau, accompagnés ou suivis d'un métamorphisme de haut degré, généralement granulitique.Ces deux derniers types de décollement sont clairement exprimés dans la chaîne Varisque d'Europe et dans la chaîne Paléozoïque Qin Ling de Chine Centrale. Il apparaît ainsi de plus en plus évident que la plupart des zones plissées à schistosité verticale, non liées à des décrochements, passent en profondeur à de grands décollements plats. On les met en évidence sur le terrain ou/et grâce à des profils de sismique réflexion écoute longue. Des aspects caractéristiques de ces profils comme par exemple la croûte inférieure litée pourraient représenter l'image sismique de tels décollements profonds.

The correlation between geochemical data and SPOT satellite imagery of lateritic terrain in southern Mali     

C. Roquin  T. Dandjinou  Ph. Freyssinet  J.C. Pion 《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》1989,32(1-3)

Detailed geochemical mapping of superficial lateritic formations is compared with recent high-resolution SPOT satellite images in the Dagadamou prospect in southern Mali.The two main landscape features standing out in SPOT images are expressed by thematic indices derived from multispectral data. They reflect the distribution of vegetation cover and the distinction between silty clay soils in the valleys and ferruginous duricrust exposed on the plateaus. Geochemical differentiation factors are closely related to the nature of sampled materials and reflect the relative amounts of major constituent minerals estimated by normative calculation.Duricrust samples with high Fe and Al content are also enriched in trace elements, P, V, Cr, As, Mo, Nb and Cu, immobilized in the weathering profile with secondary oxihydroxide minerals.Soils of flats are composed mainly of quartz and kaolinite; they also concentrate heavy minerals characterized by high contents of Zr, Ti, Ce and Y.Accumulation of detrital material at the periphery of duricrust plateaus is marked by a geochemical halo of higher contents in Zr and quartz at their periphery. This feature is clearly visible on SPOT imagery as a zone of high reflectance, devoid of vegetation.The density of vegetation on duricrust is related to its kaolinite content. Its distribution is characterized by a striped pattern, which is probably controlled by bedrock lithological structures preserved in the lateritic cover.This study shows the relationships, both direct and indirect, existing between spectral reflectance and geochemical composition of superficial lateritic formations. Many other landscape features identified with high resolution on SPOT images provide complementary information, which could be very helpful at various stages of geological and mineral exploration in lateritic terrain.  相似文献   

Intercomparison of NO column measurements during MAP/GLOBUS 1985     

R. L. McKenzie  W. A. Matthews  Y. Kondo  R. Zander  Ph. Demoulin  P. Fabian  D. G. Murcray  F. J. Murcray  O. Lado-Bordowsky  C. Camy-Peyret  H. K. Roscoe  J. A. Pyle  R. D. McPeters 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》1988,7(4):353-367

Column measurements of nitric oxide were made using several techniques during the MAP/GLOBUS campaign in France in September 1985. The data sets are nearly co-located and simultaneous, therefore allowing a valid intercomparison of the various measurement methods. The range of altitudes sampled differs from instrument to instrument. This complicates the comparison because the data sets are to some extent complementary. The NO distributions apparently vary significantly from day to day, and possibly over shorter timescales. Changes in dynamics may be responsible for these variations. The results from the instruments which measure in the infrared and the ultraviolet are self-consistent, and show good agreement with photochemical predictions. On 19 September, when the intercomparison was made, the profile measured by the in-situ chemiluminescent instrument differed significantly from the predicted profile, and the measured columns were generally higher.  相似文献   

Organic carbon release by phytoplankton and bacterial reassimilation   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Mauricette Feuillade  Ph. Dufour  J. Feuillade 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1988,50(2):115-135

The release of organic carbon by phytoplankton and its reassimilation by bacteria were studied in Lake Geneva during four daily kinetics, using¹⁴C techniques. Gentamycin was used to suppress bacterial activity. Size fractionation was used to measure¹⁴C fixation in 2 particulate fractions (≥1 μm and 0.2 to 1 μm) and in a third fraction: dissolved organic carbon. Measurements of bacterial biomass and¹⁴C glucose uptake as the H¹⁴CO ₃ ⁻ uptake by samples prefractionated before incubation showed that the whole algae were retained on 1 μm pore size Nuclepore filters, but bacteria were retained on 1 μm and 0.2 μm filters. Concentration of 20 μg.ml⁻¹ gentamycin resulted in incomplete bacterial inhibition while phytoplankton was affected. Phytoplankton released less of 20% of its photoassimilated carbon of which a large proportion was utilized by bacterioplankton.  相似文献   

THE TROPICS: ENVIRONMENTS AND HUMAN IMPACTS UNDERSTOOD AND REINTERPRETED     

Ian Douglas  M.A.  B.Litt.  Ph.D. 《Singapore journal of tropical geography》1994,14(2):103-122

In the 1950s, few people had travelled widely through different parts of the tropics and interpretations on tropical landforms, soils, vegetation and climate largely rested on impressions gained from residence or long sojourns in particular tropical countries. Most academic geography on the tropics was then written by expatriates and lacked the perspective gained from long experience of tropical regions. Particular problems of understanding arose as people attempted to extrapolate from one part of the tropics to another. Since then, understanding has advanced enormously, largely through the efforts of tropical scientists working in their own institutions and through the greater technological ability to study tropical lands both remotely and through easier field access. The establishment of a number of field stations, aimed primarily at the biological sciences, but also facilitating the work of geographers, has been a major stimulus to this effort. Concerns over practical issues, particularly local development and global climatic change have prompted new avenues of research, many of which have been assisted by the great increase in data collection in tropical countries. For the future, South-South dialogue between tropical physical geographers is needed to improve their ability to ask meaningful questions so that they can contribute to teach the rest of their discipline more about serious applied and applicable geography.  相似文献   

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY OF THE AMERICAN TROPICS: A FORTY-YEAR REVIEW     

Kent Mathewson  Ph.D. 《Singapore journal of tropical geography》1994,14(2):123-156

For a decade or so after World War II, human geographers working in the American tropics found socio-political conditions and resultant research topics little changed from those before the war. This was in contrast to the Old World tropics where decolonization processes and the demands of economic development and new nation building produced divergent research currents, For the first half of the period under review, the American tropics continued to be the province largely of geographers with culturalhistorical questions grounded in natural historical bases. The legacy is Humboldt's; the practitioners most notably students of Carl Sauer or German counterparts such as Carl Troll. French and British regionalist approaches, strong in the region before World War II, survived less successfully. By the 1980s, however, broad pan-tropical currents of geographic discourse and debate had become established. New practices and theories were formulated and tested as North Atlantic geographers borrowed from antipodean innovators and others working in the Asian and African tropics. Since the 1980s, there have been greater efforts at dialogue and collaboration with host country colleagues. As might be expected in this era of ‘globalization’, national research styles and agendas have become less evident. This paper offers a highly selective map of research nodes within tropical Americanist geography since the early 1950s. The selection of examples includes qualitative criteria, but more importantly, research that signify stasis or intensification as well as turning points and departures in the overall development of this literature. The contours of this history suggest some highly evolved, even idiosyncratic enterprises, but in the main, it is an unfolding that suggests broad congruencies with human geographic work elsewhere in the tropics.  相似文献   

PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF TROPICAL LATIN AMERICA: THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL HETEROGENEITY OF ENVIRONMENTS     

Karl S. Zimmerer  Ph.D.  Robert P. Langstroth  M.S. 《Singapore journal of tropical geography》1994,14(2):157-172

For the past 40 years, studies of physical geography in tropical Latin America have concentrated on the spatial and temporal diversity of biophysical environments and biota. Environmental heterogeneity arises from historical and present-day interaction between climatic, geomorphologic, edaphic, and biogeographic systems. Recent research emphasizes three major themes involving these systems: Quaternary climate change; human-altered biophysical environments; and geomorphologic activity. Findings on these themes are evaluated with respect to the tropical highlands, the tropical lowlands and related extra-tropical areas. Research on physical geography in Latin America promises numerous contributions toward a better understanding of environmental conservation.  相似文献
