Influence of Seawater on the Suction and Swelling Behavior of Clayey Soils     

Hasan Firat Pulat 《Marine Georesources & Geotechnology》2013,31(5):466-472

The present study examines the suction characteristics and swelling behavior of clayey soils when exposed to natural seawater with respect to distilled water. The effects of saline waters on the engineering behavior of soils need to be determined since the salinity of the pore fluid of soils near coastal areas increases continuously. Six clayey soil samples with different mineralogy and characteristics were gathered and tested to determine the suction and swelling characteristics in the presence of natural seawater and distilled water. The results show that the total suction values of the samples are higher in the presence of seawater than in distilled water. The samples with high swelling potential have lower matric suction values than nonswelling soils. Moreover, in contrast to swelling-type soils, the matric suction values of the nonswelling soils remain similar in the presence both distilled water and seawater. The modified free swell index (MFSI) of the samples is well correlated with the liquid limit (LL), plasticity index (PI), and cation exchange capacity (CEC) in distilled water. However, coefficients of determination decreased in the presence of seawater. Also, there is no significant correlation existing between total and matric suction values and the MFSI values of the samples.  相似文献   

Evaluation of Liquefaction Potential Index Along Western Coast of South Korea Using SPT and CPT     

Min-Woo Seo  Scott M. Olson  Myoung-Hak Oh 《Marine Georesources & Geotechnology》2013,31(3):234-260

For South Korea, liquefaction potential along the western coast has not been widely assessed because South Korea is considered to be a low seismic hazard. However, recent earthquake events and historical records indicate that the seismic hazard of South Korea should not be ignored. Moreover, as artificial fills are extensively used along the western coast for development, liquefaction evaluation of the soils in this area is necessary. In this paper, we present: (1) the seismic characteristics of the study area; (2) procedures for evaluating liquefaction potential, focusing on the liquefaction potential index (LPI) approach; and (3) LPI distributions at several representative locations along the western coast of South Korea under various seismic scenarios. The liquefaction potential index represents the liquefaction potential over the upper 20 m of a boring or sounding. Using cone penetration test (CPT) and standard penetration test (SPT) data from two coastal sites, we compare and discuss CPT-based and SPT-based LPI values, particularly values computed in nonplastic, silt-rich soils. In these soils, it appears that the CPT yields lower liquefaction resistance, resulting in large LPI values. Finally, discussion and suggestions are provided for CPT- and SPT-based liquefaction assessment of low plasticity and high fines content soils.  相似文献   

黄河三角洲海参养殖池塘微型浮游植物多样性研究   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  

王育红  杨建敏  张明亮  宋向军  王卫军  孙国华  韦秀梅 《海洋与湖沼》2013,44(2):415-420

采用相关性分析方法研究了温度、盐度、营养盐等环境因子对黄河三角洲海参养殖池塘微型浮游植物多样性的影响。结果表明,群落多样性指数H′值主要受营养盐特别是PO43-P、NH4+-N限制,温度、盐度对H′值影响不显著。丰富度指数d值受营养盐影响不显著。温度、盐度是d值的主要影响因素,在温度15—30℃、盐度22—32范围之内,d值随温度、盐度升高而降低。均匀度指数J值受营养盐影响不显著,但受温度、盐度影响作用较为明显,在温度15—30℃、盐度22—32范围之内,J值随着温度、盐度升高而升高。由于池塘内温度、盐度、营养盐波动较大,浮游植物群落并不稳定,多样性一直处于受干扰状态。  相似文献   

Reproductive biology of horse mackerel Trachurus capensis and Trachurus trecae in Namibia and Angola     

《African Journal of Marine Science》2013,35(2):141-150

Harvest control measures for Namibia and Angola are defined using reference points for spawning biomass, which requires knowledge of spawning potential and dynamics of fishery stocks. The reproductive biology of two species of horse mackerel, Trachurus capensis and Trachurus trecae, in these waters was investigated for spawning distribution in time and space. Samples were collected during two scientific cruises conducted in February and July/August 2007 off the coast of Namibia and Angola. A total of 396 fish ovaries was examined to determine the spawning dynamics of the two species. The ovaries were histologically analysed and their oocyte distributions mapped. The length (TL)–weight relationships of the two species differed significantly. The observed development of oocyte recruitment and absence of a hiatus in the oocyte distribution indicated that these species are indeterminate spawners. Analyses of the data from the NatMIRC database (2001–2004) indicated annual changes in gonadosomatic index (GSI) for T. capensis at different latitudes, but these changes were small. GSI also fluctuated between years and areas, but there were no clear spatial or temporal trends, with averages ≤4.0% at all stations. The GSI of both species was not indicative of the histologically determined development of gonad maturity. Oocyte maturation for T. capensis indicated that smaller and younger fish spawn first. Batch fecundity (F) for T. trecae was best described by F = 4 986 TL (cm) – 99 645 (r ² = 0.83). This study provided the first analyses of oocyte development in time and space for the two species in the region.  相似文献

亚洲夏季风各子系统主要变率相互关系初析   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

吴进  何金海  张祖强  祁莉 《热带气象学报》2011,(5):619-625

使用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料和CMAP月平均降水资料分析了亚洲夏季风各个子系统的相互关系。结果表明亚洲夏季风子系统之间存在显著相关。从同期强度变化可知,当东亚季风偏强时,大尺度亚洲季风、东南亚季风、南亚季风均偏弱,相关区域降水偏少;而同时大尺度亚洲季风偏强时,东南亚和南亚季风偏强,相关区域降水偏多;东南亚季风偏强时,南亚季风偏弱,南亚地区降水偏少;反之亦然。从不同周期强度变化可知各个子系统相关仍然显著。   相似文献   

梯度反褶积法及其在矿产勘探中的应用     

马国庆  杜晓娟  李丽丽  李文成  王凤刚 《吉林大学学报(地球科学版)》2013,43(1):259-266

梯度探测技术以其信息量大、精度高、干扰小等优点在地球物理领域中得到广泛应用,但现今针对梯度数据的反演方法还比较少。笔者提出一种新的梯度数据解释方法--梯度反褶积法,该方法以梯度数据为基础获得场源体的位置信息,在计算公式中消除了构造指数,避免了因构造指数选取不当引起的误差。通过理论模型试验证明,梯度反褶积法能有效地完成目标体的反演工作,反演结果与理论值之间的误差小于5%,且相对于常规欧拉反褶积法更加稳定、准确。将梯度反褶积法应用于实测航磁梯度异常的解释,获得了地下铁矿的分布状态。  相似文献

杨建玲  冯建民  穆建华  郑广芬  谭志强  王素艳 《冰川冻土》2013,35(4):949-958

干旱作为我国西北地区东部影响最大的气象灾害, 可引起农业减产、水资源短缺、土地荒漠化和生态环境恶化等严重问题.在国家新一轮西部大开发战略实施之初, 在全球气候变暖背景下, 有必要对干旱发展的最新特征和演变趋势进行详细分析研究, 为加强防旱、抗旱,促进经济发展提供科学决策依据和参考.采用国家干旱标准综合干旱指数(CI指数), 利用西北地区东部74个气象代表站逐日气温、降水资料, 分析了西北地区东部不同级别干旱日数在各个季节的时空分布和变化趋势. 结果表明: 在气候变暖背景下, 西北地区东部从长期趋势看, 春、夏、秋季干旱呈加剧趋势, 冬季干旱呈减轻趋势. 21世纪以来春、夏季干旱进一步加剧, 尤其是夏季加剧更显著, 而秋、冬季干旱出现了减弱的新趋势. 在西北地区东部主降水期3-11月重-特旱加剧趋势比轻-中旱加剧显著, 南部干旱化趋势比北部更加明显. 尤其是宁夏同心地区春旱加剧非常显著, 已成为西北地区东部重-特旱最严重的地区.对于干旱发展的这一新动态, 必须引起有关部门的高度重视, 采取科学、有效手段加强防旱、抗旱.  相似文献

沙莎  郭铌  李耀辉  任余龙  李忆平 《冰川冻土》2013,35(4):990-998

使用1982-2006年GIMMS AVHRR NDVI数据集与同期的CI、K、Pa、SPI、Z、PDSI等干旱指数做了对比分析, 讨论了河南省植被状态指数VCI对气象干旱的滞后效应及干旱监测能力. 结果表明: VCI指数与气象干旱指数的相关性受不同下垫面的影响较大, 农地的VCI与气象干旱指数相关性要明显高于林地, 农地VCI与气象干旱指数呈现正相关关系. 在河南省不同的作物生长阶段, VCI对气象干旱有着不同的滞后效应, 其中, 3-5月份冬小麦生长期VCI对气象条件的反应滞后1~3个月, 7、9月份夏玉米生长期VCI对气象条件的反应滞后1月. 总体上看, 结合前期的气象数据, VCI对河南省气象干旱有一定的指示作用和监测能力.  相似文献
