Discrete models for vertical vibrations of surface and embedded foundations     

Francisco C. P. De Barros  J. Enrique Luco 《地震工程与结构动力学》1990,19(2):289-303

A five-parameter discrete model that approximates the dynamic force4isplacement relationship for rigid foundations undergoing vertical vibrations on a uniform elastic half-space is presented. The model involves a combination of two springs, two viscous dampers and a mass. Values of the parameters for circular, square and rectangular foundations placed on the surface or embedded in an elastic half-space are listed. The parameters are obtained by minimizing the discrepancy between the force4isplacement relation for the model and that obtained by solution of the mixed boundary-value problem of the rigid foundation on an elastic half-space. The definition of an appropriate input motion to represent wave excitation is also discussed. The input motion to the discrete model differs from the input motion that should be used in a continuum model.  相似文献

Characteristics of the seismic attenuation in two tectonically active zones of Southern Europe     

E. Del Pezzo  S. De Martino  F. De Miguel  J. Ibanez  A. Sorgente 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1991,135(1):91-106

The seismic energy attenuation in the frequency range of 1–18 Hz was studied in the two tectonically active zones of Irno Valley (Southern Italy) and Granada Basin (South-East Spain). Data were recorded by short period vertical components seismographs for low-magnitude local earthquakes. The method of coda waves, assuming singleS toS scattering approximation, was used to calculate the quality factorQ from the two data set. Results show a quality factor increasing with frequency, following the empirical lawQ=Q _o f ⁿ .Q _o andn are lower for the Irno Valley than for Granada. This result is interpreted in terms of different scattering environments present in the two investigated areas.  相似文献   

Regional gravity investigation of Honduras, Central America     

Mark E. Ander  Carlos L.V. Aiken  Maricio F. De la Fuente 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》1991,45(1-2)

A regional gravity study of Honduras was performed as part of a major study of the geothermal resource potential of Honduras. This study was conducted by Los Alamos National Laboratory, in cooperation with the Honduras government. Regional offshore free-air and onshore Bouguer gravity maps, and residual/isostatic gravity maps of Honduras and surrounding regions were produced. From these data several regional crustal and upper mantle models were produced. These models pass through two local geothermal sites, Platanares and San Ignacio. The regional geologic and tectonic implications of the models and their relevance to the geothermal potential of Honduras and to six well known geothermal sites in particular are examined. No obvious regional structures observed in the gravity data can explain the thermal enhancement in general or the specific geothermal sites. More local tectonic or structural conditions must control the distribution of the thermally enhanced areas.  相似文献   

Surface sensible heat flux over a deep moist convective region and its interplay with synoptic and mesoscale features     

R. Pradhan  U. K. De  P. K. Sen 《Journal of Earth System Science》1994,103(3):353-367

The surface parameters are being evaluated using a methodology which considers the vertical temperature structure of MONTBLEX ’90. For this 30 metre micrometeorological tower data are utilised. In this process, a concept of isolated layers has been introduced. The parameters have been evaluated following two successive iterative processes to give a consistent value both in the flux-profile relation and the related similarity relation. The heat flux obtained using the present methodology, is then utilised to examine its interplay with the synoptic as well as mesoscale features. The existence of such an interplay is observed.  相似文献   

Characteristics and mitigation of the snow avalanche hazard in Kaghan Valley,Pakistan Himalaya     

Fes A. De Scally  James S. Gardner 《Natural Hazards》1994,9(1-2):197-213

Snow avalanche hazards in mountainous areas of developing countries have received scant attention in the scientific literature. The purpose of this paper is to describe this hazard and mitigative measures in Kaghan Valley, Pakistan Himalaya, and to review alternatives for future reduction of this hazard. Snow avalanches have long posed a hazard and risk to indigenous populations of the Himalaya and Trans-Himalaya mountains. Land use intensification due to population growth, new transportation routes, military activity and tourism is raising levels of risk. The history of land use in the study area is such that investigations of avalanche hazard must rely on different theoretical bases and data than in most industrialised countries. Despite the intensive use of valley-bottom land which is affected by avalanches, a number of simple measures are currently employed by the indigenous population to mitigate the hazard. Out-migration during the winter months is the most important one. During the intensive use period of summer avalanche-transported snow provides numerous resources for the population. In Kaghan the avalanche hazard is increasing primarily as a result of poorly located new buildings and other construction projects. The large scale of avalanche activity there rules out any significant improvement or protection of the currently difficult winter access. Instead, future mitigation of the hazard should focus on protecting the small number of winter inhabitants and minimising property damage.  相似文献   

On love wave dispersion in a homogeneous layer lying over a laterally heterogeneous half-space     

T. K. De 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1985,123(1):43-58

A method is proposed for the determination of the dispersion equation of Love waves propagating in a homogeneous layer lying over a laterally inhomogeneous half-space. The proposed method can be made to work only when the lateral inhomogeneities in the lower half-space are finite in nature so that their Fourier transforms are available. As an illustration the dispersion equation of Love waves is obtained for one of such media in which the shear-wave velocity and the rigidity in the lower half-space either increases or decreases along the direction of propagation of waves according as the parameter of heterogeneity is positive or negative.  相似文献   

Selenium in a shore bird,the dunlin,from the Dutch Waddenzee     

A.A. Goede  M. De Bruin 《Marine pollution bulletin》1985,16(3):115-117

The hypothesis that Se is secreted by birds via the preen gland or salt glands, thus contaminating the feathers, has been investigated. It is concluded that the feather vanes show indirectly in this way the birds' e?posure to Se. Therefore they can be used as an indicator tissue for this element.  相似文献   

Organic geochemical studies of a Messinian evaporitic basin,northern Apennines (Italy) I: Hydrocarbon biological markers for a hypersaline environment     

H.L. Ten Haven  J.W. De Leeuw  P.A. Schenck 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1985,49(10):2181-2191

This paper describes the occurrence and significance of hydrocarbons present in two bituminous marl layers and one distinct gypsum layer from a Messinian sedimentary basin, where hypersaline conditions prevailed. Several new compounds were detected and tentatively identified: of these 20R and 20S 4α, 24-dimethyl-5α(H),14β(H),17β(H) and 20R and 20S 4β,24-dimethyI-5α(H),14β(H),17β(H) cholestanes; 4-methylspirosterenes; 4,4-dimethyl-5α(H),14β(H),17β(H) pregnanes and homopregnanes are discussed in this paper. Several of these compounds might be considered as biological markers for a (hyper)saline environment. The short side chain 4-desmethylsteranes, 5α(H),14β(H),17β(H), 5α(H),14β(H),17α(H) and 5α(H),14α(H), 17α(H) pregnanes and homopregnanes, are the most abundant compounds in the extract from the gypsum sample. It is suggested that in this case these compounds do not reflect the stage of diagenesis but are related to certain organisms exclusively occurring in hypersaline environments. In addition the very low pristane/phytane ratio, often considered as an indicator for anoxicity, could also be interpreted as a useful indicator for hypersalinity.  相似文献   

An57Fe mössbauer effect study of ankerite     

E. De Grave  R. Vochten 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1985,12(2):108-113

A natural sample of ankerite has been characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis. The composition was found to be (Ca_1.11Mg_0.50Fe_0.33Mn_0.09) [Co₃]_1.99.⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer effect measurements were performed at temperatures between 4.2 and 400 K. At low temperatures (T < 25 K) relaxation effects are clearly dominant. The temperature dependence of the center shift is remarkably well reproduced by a model based on the Debije approximation of the lattice vibrations. In contrast, the temperature dependence of the quadrupole splitting cannot be described by any reasonable crystal field model. It is argued that an orbit-lattice coupling might explain the observed quadrupole splittings. A spectrum recorded in an applied field of 6 T reveals a positive electric field gradient from which an orbital doublet ground state is concluded. Highly anisotropic field reductions are derived but cannot be quantitatively explained due to a lack of knowledge concerning the magnetic structure of ankerite. The line widths decrease significantly with increasing temperature which is only partly due to the decreasing Mössbauer fraction.  相似文献
