Full-scale dynamic testing of response-controlled buildings and their components:concepts,methods,and findings     

Kazuhiko Kasai  Kazuhiro Matsuda 《地震工程与工程振动(英文版)》2014,(Z1)

A series of shake-table tests was conducted by inserting and replacing 4 different types of dampers,or by removing them in a full-scale 5-story steel frame building. The objective is to validate response-control technologies that are increasingly adopted for major Japanese buildings without being attested to-date by a major earthquake. Test results are briefly described,and good performance of the dampers and frame demonstrated. The concepts of the full-scale building tests and various contributions are discussed. The difficulty associated with full-scale dynamic testing is explained.  相似文献

We have carried out surface photometry of six simpleHii regions which are characterized by the existence of an exciting star earlier than B0, and a nearly round shape. On the basis of on balibrated image data and adopting a spherical model, we derive the distributions of gas and dust densities in theHii regions.Paper presented at the IAU Third Asian-Pacific Regional Meeting, held in Kyoto, Japan, between 30 September–6 October, 1984.On leave from the Bosscha Observatory, Institute of Technology Bandung, Indonesia.  相似文献

A survey of emission-line stars in the CMa star formation region     

Suhardja D. Wiramihardja  Tomokazu Kogure  Makoto Nakano  Shigeomi Yoshida  Ken'Ichi Tatematsu 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1986,118(1-2):311-315

A survey of emission-line stars was carried out in the CMa star formation region, based on spectral observations with the Kiso Schmidt telescope. In total, 128 emission-line stars were detected, ranging fromV=6 to 15, and the majority are found withV between 11 and 14. A comparison with the existing catalogues shows that some emission-line stars are common with ours, while some exhibit no detectable emission line on our plates, suggesting the variability of emission-line strength. The two-colour (U–B, B–V) diagram is also shown for the detected stars.Paper presented at the IAU Third-Asian-Pacific Regional Meeting, held in Kyoto, Japan, between 30 September–6 October, 1984.On leave from the Bosscha Observatory, Institute of Technology Bandung, Indonesia.  相似文献   

Provenance implications of Th–U–Pb electron microprobe ages from detrital monazite in the Carboniferous Upper Silesia Coal Basin, Poland     

Monika Agnieszka Kusiak  Artur K&#x;dzior  Mariusz Paszkowski  Kazuhiro Suzuki  Ignacio Gonzlez-lvarez  Boles&#x;aw Wajsprych  Marek Doktor 《Lithos》2006,88(1-4):56-71

This paper reports the results of CHIME (chemical Th–U–Pb isochron method) dating of detrital monazites from Carboniferous sandstones in the Upper Silesia Coal Basin (USCB). A total of 4739 spots on 863 monazite grains were analyzed from samples of sandstone derived from six stratigraphic units in the sedimentary sequence. Age distributions were identified in detrital monazites from the USCB sequence and correlated with specific dated domains in potential source areas. Most monazites in all samples yielded ca. 300–320 Ma (Variscan) ages; however, eo-Variscan, Caledonian and Cadomian ages were also obtained. The predominant ages are comparable to reported ages of certain tectonostratigraphic domains in the polyorogenic Bohemian Massif (BM), which suggests that various crystalline lithologies in the BM were the dominant sources of USCB sediments.  相似文献   

Discovery of a c.370 Ma granitic gneiss clast from the Hwanggangri pebble-bearing phyllite in the Okcheon metamorphic belt, Korea     

Kazuhiro Suzuki  Daniel Dunkley  Mamoru Adachi  Ueechan Chwae 《Gondwana Research》2006,9(1-2):85

The chemical Th–U total Pb isochron method (CHIME) of dating was carried out on accessory minerals in samples from the Okcheon metamorphic belt in Korea. Dated minerals include xenotime and monazite with overgrown mantles in a granitic gneiss clast from the Hwanggangri Formation, metamorphic allanite in garnet-bearing muscovite–chlorite schist of the Munjuri Formation, and polycrase and monazite in post-tectonic granite from the Hwanggangri area. Overgrowth of mantles took place at 369 ± 10 Ma on c. 1750 Ma cores of xenotime and monazite in the granitic gneiss. Allanite, occurring in textural equilibrium with peak metamorphic minerals, yields a CHIME age of 246 ± 15 Ma that is discriminably older than the polycrase (170 ± 6 Ma) and monazite (170 ± 3 Ma) ages of the post-tectonic granite. These chronological data suggest that some of the metasedimentary rocks in the belt formed through a single stage of metamorphism at c. 250 Ma from post-370 Ma sediments. Late Permian age signatures have also been reported from the Precambrian Gyeonggi and Yeongnam massifs that border the Okcheon metamorphic belt, and indicate that parts of the basement massifs and the metamorphic belt were affected by the same regional metamorphic event.  相似文献   

Effect of the development of notches and tension cracks on instability of limestone coastal cliffs in the Ryukyus, Japan   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Tetsuya Kogure  Hisashi Aoki  Akira Maekado  Takashi Hirose  Yukinori Matsukura 《Geomorphology》2006,80(3-4):236-244

Notches cut by waves are currently developing at the base of vertical coastal limestone cliffs in Okinawa, Japan. The cliff height varies from 3.0–22.1 m, and the maximum notch depth is 8.8 m. Many rectangular or cubic blocks, which appear to have originated from cliff failures, are found on platforms in front of the cliffs. On the flat top surface of the cliff, tension cracks often run parallel to the cliff face. The vertical face of the cliffs displays small undulations but no sliding striation, suggesting that cliff failures have been caused by toppling rather than by shearing or sliding. We use slope stability analysis to determine the critical condition for toppling failure. Physical and mechanical properties of the cliff material were first obtained from laboratory tests. The results indicate that the strength of limestone shows a scale effect, such that the strength decreases with increasing size of the test specimens. Based on this result, we estimated the strength of a rock mass corresponding to the size of the coastal cliff. Cliff stability was then analyzed using a cantilever beam model. Comparison of the stability analysis and the dimension of fallen blocks indicates that toppling failure is strongly associated with the development of notches and tension cracks.  相似文献   

Using VLBI fringe-phase information from geodetic experiments for short-period ionospheric studies     

Thomas Hobiger  Tetsuro Kondo  Yasuhiro Koyama  Kazuhiro Takashima  Harald Schuh 《Journal of Geodesy》2007,81(6-8):389-401

The usage of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) fringe-phase information in geodetic VLBI is a new field of research, which can be used for the detection of short-period (i.e., several minutes) variations (scintillations) of the ionosphere. This paper presents a method for the extraction of such disturbances and discusses how dispersive influences can be separated from intra-scan delay variations. A proper functional and stochastic model for the separation of the different effects is presented and the algorithms are applied to real measurements. In an example, it is shown that a traveling ionospheric disturbance in Antarctica can be detected very precisely. A possible physical origin and the propagation properties of the disturbance are presented and the results are compared with GPS measurements. The benefit of this method for other applications is also discussed.  相似文献   

Discrete‐like crack simulation by smeared crack‐based FEM for reinforced concrete     

Yuichi Sato  Kazuhiro Naganuma 《地震工程与结构动力学》2007,36(14):2137-2152

A numerical process that simulates crack propagation in reinforced concrete through post‐crack stress redistribution is presented. This process is developed within the context of the smeared crack approach. Continuity and orientation of the reinforcing bar components are automatically recognized in the pre‐processing stage. The process explicitly outputs crack widths by computing the bond slips along reinforcement, without imposing any additional nodes between the reinforcement and concrete. The process is incorporated with a finite element algorithm, and the validation is investigated through sample 3D static analyses of nine concrete specimens subjected to monotonic shear and flexure loads. These specimens contain relatively well‐distributed steel bars and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets of reinforcement ratio from 0.11 to 0.57%. The analyses predict the crack patterns and crack widths well, although some disagreements are found between the test and the analysis results. The proposed process outputs discrete, continuous in crack directions, and element boundary‐free crack patterns. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Petrology and CHIME geochronology of Pan-African high K and Sr/Y granitoids in the Nkambe area, Cameroon   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Samuel Tetsopgang  Kazuhiro Suzuki  Emmanuel Njonfang 《Gondwana Research》2008,14(4):686

The Central African Belt in the Nkambe area, northwestern Cameroon represents a collisional zone between the Saharan metacraton and the Congo craton during the Pan-African orogeny, and exposes a variety of granitoids including foliated and massive biotite monzogranites in syn- and post-kinematic settings. Foliated and massive biotite monzogranites have almost identical high-K calc-alkaline compositions, with 73–67 wt.% SiO₂, 17–13 wt.% Al₂O₃, 2.1–0.9 wt.% CaO, 4.4–2.7 wt.% Na₂O and 6.3–4.4 wt.% K₂O. High concentrations of Rb (264–96 ppm), Sr (976–117 ppm), Ba (3680–490 ppm) and Zr (494–99 ppm), with low concentrations of Y (mostly< 20 ppm with a range 54–6) and Nb (up to 24 ppm) suggest that the monzogranites intruded in collisional and post-collisional settings. The Sr/Y ratio ranges from 25 to 89. K, Rb and Ba resided in a single major phase such as K-feldspar in the source. Garnet was present in the source and remained as restite at the site of magma generation. This high K₂O and Sr/Y granitic magma was generated by partial melting of a granitic protolith under high-pressure and H₂O undersaturated conditions where garnet coexists with K-feldspar, albitic plagioclase. CHIME (chemical Th–U-total Pb isochron method) dating of zircon yields ages of 569 ± 12–558 ± 24 Ma for the foliated biotite monzogranite and 533 ± 12–524 ± 28 Ma for the massive biotite monzogranite indicating that the collision forming the Central African Belt continued in to Ediacaran (ca 560 Ma).  相似文献
