A geophysical perspective based on well-acquired gravity, magnetic, and radiometric data provides good insights into the basin architectural elements and tectonic evolution of the Rio do Peixe Basin (RPB), an Early Cretaceous intracontinental basin in the northeast Brazilian rift system, which developed during the opening of the South Atlantic. NW–SE-trending extensional forces acting over an intensively deformed Precambrian basement yielded a composite basin architecture strongly controlled by preexisting, mechanically weak fault zones in the upper crust. Reactivated NE–SW and E–W ductile shear zones of Brasiliano age (0.6 Ga) divided the RPB into three asymmetrical half-grabens (Brejo das Freiras, Sousa, and Pombal subbasins), separated by basement highs of granite bodies that seem to anchor and distinguish the mechanical subsidence of the subbasins. Radiometric and geopotential field data highlight the relationship between the tectonic stress field and the role of a preexisting structural framework inserted in the final rift geometry. The up-to-2000 m thick half-grabens are sequentially located at the inflexion of sigmoidal-shaped shear zones and acquire a typical NE–SW-oriented elliptic shape. The Sousa Subbasin is the single exception. Because of its uncommon E–W elongated form, three-dimensional gravity modeling reveals an E–W axis of depocenters within the Sousa Subbasin framework, in which the eastern shoulders are controlled by NE–SW-trending faults. These faults belong to the Precambrian structural fabric, as is well illustrated by the gamma ray and magnetic signatures of the basement grain. Release faults were identified nearly perpendicular or oblique to master faults, forming marginal strike ramps and horst structures in all subbasins. The emplacement mechanism of Brasiliano granites around the RPB was partially oriented by the same structural framework, as is indicated by the gravity signature of the granitic bodies after removal of the gravity effect of the basin-filling deposits. The RPB major-fault occurrence along the releasing bend of a strong discontinuity – the so-called Portalegre Shear Zone – in addition to the configuration of a gentle crustal thinning, according to gravity field studies, suggests that a crustal discontinuity governs the nucleation of the RPB, followed probably by small displacement in deep crustal levels accommodating low-rate stretching during basin subsidence. 相似文献

Probabilistic seismic assessment requires extensive computational effort resulting from variability both in input ground motions
and mechanical properties. Nonetheless, such methodologies are of considerable importance, namely for pre-earthquake disaster
planning or development of retrofitting programs. A framework for the analytical definition of closed form expressions for
exceedance probabilities of structural component limit states, defined by limit values of structural response parameters,
is proposed herein. The definition of these expressions is based on the probabilistic representation of the ground motion
intensity and on the establishment of suitable expressions characterizing the evolution of structural demand with increasing
earthquake intensity. Distinction is made between deformation-based and force-based structural parameters in the definition
of such relations. Within the proposed framework, the limit states are defined by single deterministic thresholds of structural
response quantities at the component level, as defined in structural codes. Different approaches are also discussed to account
for the randomness of the mechanical properties and ground motion input within the proposed methodology. An application of
the assessment of different limit state probabilities of members from a reinforced concrete building is presented, for which
limit states and limit state capacities are defined according to the upcoming Part 3 of the Eurocode 8. Although the presented
application only deals with member chord rotation and shear force limit state probabilities, the proposed methodology can
be generalized to other deformation-based and force-based structural parameters. 相似文献

The cosmological evolution of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is important for understanding the mechanism of accretion on to supermassive black holes and the related evolution of the host galaxy. In this work, we include objects with very low Eddington ratio (10−3 –10−2 ) in an evolution scenario, and compare the results with the observed local distribution of black holes. We test several possibilities for the AGN population, considering obscuration and dependence with luminosity, and investigate the role of the Eddington ratio λ and radiative accretion efficiency ε on the shape of the evolved mass function. We find that three distinct populations of AGN can evolve with a wider parameter range than is usually considered, and still be consistent with the local mass function. In general, the black holes in our solutions are spinning rapidly. Taking fixed values for ε and λ neither provides a full knowledge of the evolution mechanism nor is consistent with the existence of low-Eddington-ratio objects. 相似文献

The spatial variability of the quality of the soil on the shores of a lagoon affected by hydromorphy and/or salinity can be identified (Laguna de Villacañas, Castilla La Mancha) by the use of multitemporal Landsat images in order to analyse these changes. For this purpose, TM and ETM images along with field observations and certain edaphic laboratory parameters are used. In order to identify saline-hydromorphic soils, the spatial variability of chemical and physical properties of a transect, which includes from Solonchaks to Regosols and Cambisols, have been correlated with the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). This index, chosen for specific dates, has proven to be very useful in detecting halophytic vegetation and relating it to the variability of the quality of these soils. 相似文献

An application of the EC8-3 procedure for safety assessment is presented herein. Besides testing the applicability of the
code procedure, this application aims to assess the consistency of the safety assessment results that are obtained. Based
on the application of the EC8-3 procedure, the study assesses if the different methods of analysis that are permitted lead
to similar safety results and identifies the factors that may affect these results. Furthermore, the results obtained by the
EC8-3 procedure are complemented by a probabilistic approach yielding their corresponding fragility values. By comparing the
D/C ratios and the probabilistic results, the application aims to determine if similar D/C ratios lead to similar probabilistic results. Furthermore, the application tries to determine if a correlation can be established
between the D/C ratios and the expected fragility values. 相似文献

The Pirapemas Lineament is a remarkable 200-km-long, NE-SW trending structure in the Barreirinhas Basin, one of the several Brazilian coastal basins. This lineament splits the study area in two sectors of distinctive morphology, drainage patterns, and sedimentary covers. Terrain northward of the lineament presents a smooth topography with sub-parallel to sub-dendritic drainage patterns, whereas a dissected plateau characterized by incised valleys and rectangular drainage pattern occurs southward, suggesting a structural control by joints and faults. Geological field data, crossed with thermal luminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating, revealed that the surface southward of the lineament consists mostly of Miocene and late Pleistocene sedimentary deposits, represented by the Barreiras Formation and the Post-Barreiras sediments, respectively. In contrast, relatively younger sands mantle most of the northward terrain, as indicated by well-preserved paleodune deposits that grade into active aeolian dunes of the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. Geomorphological and geological data analysis suggests that the northern sector is under the effect of subsidence, proving that the Pirapemas Lineament is an active agent modeling the landscape in the region. Geophysical data (gravity and seismic) confirm that such a structural feature is the surface expression of an active deep-seated basement fault. 相似文献
