Effect of the various concentrations of NaCl and CaCl₂ on the four different soil-bentonite mixtures has been evaluated. The results show that the liquid limit of the mixtures decreases with an increase in the salt concentration. Liquid limit decreased significantly with an increase in CaCl₂ concentration from 0 to 0.1 N. However, a further increase in the concentration did not produce any significant decrease in liquid limit. A quite opposite trend was observed for the NaCl solution. An increase in NaCl concentration from 0 to 0.1 N did not produce any major decrease in the liquid limit, but a further increase in concentration from 0.1 to 1 N decreased the liquid limit significantly. Consolidation tests were carried out on the mixtures to evaluate the effect of mineralogical composition of the bentonite on the hydraulic conductivity (k) of the mixture in the presence of various salts concentrations. The k for any mixtures was found to be decreasing with decrease in the salt concentration. At relatively low concentration, Ca²⁺ had more effect on the k in comparison to the same concentration of Na⁺. However, at 1 N of NaCl and CaCl₂ almost an equal value of k was observed. A comparison of the performance of four bentonites showed that the mixture with bentonite having highest exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) exhibited the lowest k when permeated with de-ionized (DI) water, however, k increased with an increase in the salt concentration. Similarly, mixture with a bentonite of lower ESP exhibited a higher k with DI water but with the increase in the salt concentration alteration in the k, compared to all other mixtures, was relatively less.  相似文献   

Zircon U–Pb ages from tuff beds of the upper Mesozoic Tetori Group in the Shokawa district,Gifu Prefecture,central Japan†

Abstract The upper Mesozoic Tetori Group contains numerous fossils of plants and marine and non‐marine animals. The group has the potential to provide key information to improve our understanding of the Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous biota of East Asia. However, the depositional age of the Tetori Group remains uncertain, and without good age constraints, accurate correlation with other areas is very difficult. As a first step in obtaining reliable ages for the formations within the Tetori Group, we used laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry to measure the U–Pb ages of zircons collected from tuff beds in the Shokawa district, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture, central Japan. The youngest reliable U–Pb ages from the tuff beds of the Ushimaru, Mitarai and Okurodani Formations are 130.2 ± 1.7, 129.8 ± 1.0 and 117.5 ± 0.7 Ma, respectively (errors represent 2 SE). These results indicate that the entire Tetori Group in the Shokawa district, which was previously believed to be correlated to the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous, is in fact correlated to the Lower Cretaceous. The maximum ages of the Ushimaru, Mitarai and Okurodani Formations are late Hauterivian to Barremian, late Hauterivian to Barremian and Barremian to Aptian, respectively.  相似文献   

Transition of eruptive style in an arc–arc collision zone: K–Ar dating of Quaternary monogenetic and polygenetic volcanoes in the Higashi-Izu region, Izu peninsula, Japan

K-Ar ages were measured on Quaternary polygenetic and monogenetic volcanoes in the Higashi-Izu region, Izu peninsula, central Japan, using the unspiked sensitivity method with mass-fractionation correction procedure to investigate when eruptive style changed, whether a hiatus existed between the two types of eruptive activity, and the effect of tectonics on the change in eruptive style. The K-Ar ages range from 0.3-0.08 Ma for monogenetic volcanoes and from 1.8-0.2 Ma for polygenetic volcanoes; thus, no volcanic hiatus was found between the two types of eruptive styles. The transition from polygenetic to monogenetic volcanism occurred during a time of overlap between 0.3 and 0.2 Ma, after collision of the Izu block (the future Izu peninsula) with central Japan, estimated as 1.0-0.8 Ma by previous researchers. Based on the review of several tectonic models of the area, the measured age of transition in eruptive style is interpreted to correspond to the change in the stress field of the Higashi-Izu region.  相似文献   

Pyroclastic flows from the 1991 eruption of Unzen volcano,Japan   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Takahiro Yamamoto  Shinji Takarada  Shigeru Suto 《Bulletin of Volcanology》1993,55(3):166-175

Pyroclastic flows from Unzen were generated by gravitational collapse of the growing lava dome. As soon as the parental lobe failed at the edge of the dome, spontaneous shattering of lava occurred and induced a gravity flow of blocks and finer debris. The flows had a overhanging, tongue-like head and cone- or rollershaped vortices expanding outward and upward. Most of the flows traveled from 1 to 3 km, but some flows reached more than 4 km, burning houses and killing people in the evacuated zone of Kita-kamikoba on the eastern foot of the volcano. The velocities of the flows ranged from 15 to 25 m/s on the gentle middle flank. Observations of the flows and their deposits suggest that they consisted of a dense basal avalanche and an overlying turbulent ash cloud. The basal avalanche swept down a topographic low and formed to tongue-like lobe having well-defined levees; it is presumed to have moved as a non-Newtonian fluid. The measured velocities and runout distances of the flows can be matched to a Bingham model for the basal avalanche by the addition of turbulent resistance. The rheologic model parameters for the 29 May flow are as follows: the density is 1300 kg/m³, the yield strength is 850 Pa, the viscosity is 90 Pa s, and the thickness of the avalanche is 2 m. The ash cloud is interpreted as a turbulent mixing layer above the basal avalanche. The buoyant portions of the cloud produced ash-fall deposits, whereas the dense portions moved as a surge separated from the parental avalanche. The ash-cloud surges formed a wide devastated zone covered by very thin debris. The initial velocities of the 3 June surges, when they detached from avalanches, are determined by the runout distance and the angle of the energy-line slope. A comparison between the estimated velocities of the 3 June avalanches and the surges indicates that the surges that extended steep slopes along the avalanche path, detached directly from the turbulent heads of the avalanches. The over-running surge that reached Kita-Kamikoba had an estimated velocity higher than that of the avalanche; this farther-travelled surge is presumed to have been generated by collapse of a rising ash-cloud plume.  相似文献   

The hydrogeology of granitic rocks in deep boreholes used for compressed air storage     

Takumi Shidahara  Takahiro Oyama  Kameichiro Nakagawa 《Engineering Geology》1993,35(3-4):207-213

The compressed air energy storage(CAES) is a much-awaited new system for load leveling power supply. An economical system must be developed, preventing leakage of stored air (with pressures of more than 20 atm) using groundwater pressure surrounding an unlined cavern in hard rock. The air tightness of the rock around the cavern must be confirmed. In this study, the hydrogeology of the test site was examined prior to field air tightness tests in the borehole. The results indicate that, when evaluating the hydrogeology of the test site related to the air tightness of rocks, it is necessary to understand the geological structure and fracture characteristics of the site. This is done by means of a field survey, investigations and tests in and between the boreholes, and the examination of the distribution of permeability and pore water pressures.  相似文献   

Upper limit of heaving pressure derived by pore-water pressure measurements of partially frozen soil     

Tsutomu Takashi  Takahiro Ohrai  Hideo Yamamoto  Jun Okamoto 《Engineering Geology》1981,18(1-4):245-257

Experiments were conducted to estimate heaving pressures of saturated soil partially frozen in a closed system. Temperatures at both ends of a specimen were kept constant, i.e., positive at the top and negative at the bottom. When the overburden pressure P was maintained at a constant value, the pore-water pressure P_w, which showed a certain value before freezing, decreased gradually as freezing progressed, finally attaining a specific value, whereafter the specimen ceased taking water into it. The pressure difference between P and P_w, at this stage was defined as the upper limit of heaving pressure σ_u, which evidently depended on the temperature θ_c of the cooling end, in accordance with the relation: σ_u = −11.4 θ_c (kg/cm²)

It corresponds to the modified Clausius-Clapeyron's formula, which gives the freezingpoint depression of an ice—water system, where the pressure acting on the ice differs from that on the water. This is the same as the value obtained by Radd and Oertle (1973). It is considered, however, that, when θ_c lowers, the value of θ_u reaches finally a constant value smaller than the one obtained by the above equation. Denoted by σ_{u max}, it was defined as a maximum heaving pressure. The value of σ_{u max} depended on soil type.  相似文献

Synchrotron X-ray analysis of norbergite, Mg_2.98Fe_0.01Ti_0.02Si_0.99O₄(OH_0.31F_1.69) structure at high pressure up to 8.2?GPa

The natural norbergite, Mg_2.98Fe_0.01Ti_0.02Si_0.99O₄(OH_0.31F_1.69) is examined by synchrotron X-ray diffraction analysis at pressures up to 8.2 GPa. The measured linear compressibilities of the crystallographic axes are β _a  = 2.18(4) × 10⁻³, β _b  = 2.93(7) × 10⁻³, and β _c  = 2.77(7) × 10⁻³ (GPa⁻¹), respectively and the calculated isothermal bulk modulus of the norbergite is K _T = 113(2) GPa based on the Birch–Murnaghan equation of state assuming a pressure derivative of K′ = 4. The crystal structures of norbergite are refined at room temperature and pressures of 4.7, 6.3, and 8.2 GPa, yielding R values for the structure refinements of 4.6, 5.3, and 5.3%, respectively. The bulk moduli of the polyhedral sites are 293(15) GPa for the tetrahedron, 106(5) GPa for the M2 octahedron, 113(2) GPa for the M3 octahedron, and 113(3) GPa for the total void space. The bulk modulus exhibits a good linear correlation with the filling factor for polyhedral sites in structures of the humite minerals and forsterite, reflecting the Si⁴⁺ + 4O²⁻ ⇔ □ + 4(OH, F)⁻ substitution in the humite minerals. Moreover, two simply linear trends were observed in the relationship between bulk modulus and packing index for natural minerals and dense hydrous magnesium silicate minerals. This relationship would reflect that the differences in compression mechanism were involved with hydrogen bonding in these minerals.
