The performance of pile foundations in offshore soft deposits is frequently dominated by passive loading from approach embankments for reclaimed land in Korea. This is mainly because of a Korean offshore soil profile, involving an over 30 m normally consolidated soil, with a strength that varies linearly with depth. This paper presents the results of an investigation on short- and long-term passive loading on the piles using two dimensional elastoplastic-consolidation coupled FEM analyses with large strain mode. This numerical scheme is essentially based on an updated Lagrangian formulation, which is favorably validated in cases of both centrifuge tests and field measurements. Although a parametric study is limited by some of the application, it is shown that passive pile loading is primarily affected by soil profile, pile head boundary condition, magnitude of embankment load, and average degree of consolidation. Simultaneously, time-dependent effect of shear transfer at the pile head is explicitly identified and a useful starting point in design is recommended for passive pile loading in construction (short-term) and consolidation (long-term) phases.  相似文献   

Characterization of organic matter in sediment cores of the Todos os Santos Bay, Bahia, Brazil, by elemental analysis and 13C NMR

The impact of human activity on the sediments of Todos os Santos Bay in Brazil was evaluated by elemental analysis and ¹³C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (¹³C NMR). This article reports a study of six sediment cores collected at different depths and regions of Todos os Santos Bay. The elemental profiles of cores collected on the eastern side of Frades Island suggest an abrupt change in the sedimentation regime. Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) analysis corroborates this result. The range of depths of the cores corresponds to about 50 years ago, coinciding with the implantation of major onshore industrial projects in the region. Principal Component Analysis of the ¹³C NMR spectra clearly differentiates sediment samples closer to the Subaé estuary, which have high contents of terrestrial organic matter, from those closer to a local oil refinery. The results presented in this article illustrate several important aspects of environmental impact of human activity on this bay.  相似文献   

An alternative approach for the Istanbul earthquake early warning system     

Hakan Alcik  Oguz Ozel  Yih-Min Wu  Nurcan M. Ozel  Mustafa Erdik 《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2011

Two recent catastrophic earthquakes that struck the Marmara Region on 17 August 1999 (M_w=7.4) and 12 November 1999 (M_w=7.2) caused major concern about future earthquake occurrences in Istanbul and the Marmara Region. As a result of the preparations for an expected earthquake may occur around Istanbul region, an earthquake early warning system has been established in 2002 with a simple and robust algorithm, based on the exceedance of specified thresholds of time domain amplitudes and the cumulative absolute velocity (CAV) levels (Erdik et al., 2003 [1]). In order to improve the capability of Istanbul earthquake early warning system (IEEWS) for giving early warning of a damaging earthquake in the Marmara Region, we explored an alternative approach with the use of a period parameter (τ_c) and a high-pass filtered vertical displacement amplitude parameter (Pd) from the initial 3 s of the P waveforms as proposed by Kanamori (2005) [2] and Wu and Kanamori (2005) 3 and 4. The empirical relationships both between τ_c and moment magnitude (M_w), and between Pd and peak ground velocity (PGV) for the Marmara Region are presented. These relationships can be used to detect a damaging earthquake within seconds after the arrival of P waves, and can provide on-site warning in the Marmara Region.  相似文献   

Modelling the initial shear stiffness of unsaturated soils as a function of the coupled effects of the void ratio and the degree of saturation

Existing models for predicting the small strain behaviour of unsaturated soil are not capable of predicting the initial shear stiffness during suction reduction under normally consolidated conditions. This problem has been addressed in the present study by combining an existing elastoplastic model and recent experimental data to provide a new model for the initial shear stiffness. The model, which is similar to that typically adopted for saturated soils, uses the average skeleton stress and an additional function of the degree of saturation. This new model not only captures the behaviour of the new experimental results, but it also describes a unique relationship between saturated and unsaturated soils.  相似文献   

Dam deformation analysis based on BPNN merging models     

Jingui Zou  Yangxuan Xiao  Chinh Van Doan 《地球空间信息科学学报》2018,21(2):149-157

Hydropower has made a significant contribution to the economic development of Vietnam, thus it is important to monitor the safety of hydropower dams for the good of the country and the people. In this paper, dam horizontal displacement is analyzed and then forecasted using three methods: the multi-regression model, the seasonal integrated auto-regressive moving average (SARIMA) model and the back-propagation neural network (BPNN) merging models. The monitoring data of the Hoa Binh Dam in Vietnam, including horizontal displacement, time, reservoir water level, and air temperature, are used for the experiments. The results indicate that all of these three methods can approximately describe the trend of dam deformation despite their different forecast accuracies. Hence, their short-term forecasts can provide valuable references for the dam safety.  相似文献

本文对渤海湾盆地不同孔隙结构样品的孔、渗、核磁、岩电、压汞、X衍射及铸体薄片等配套岩石物理实验数据进行了综合分析,通过逐一考察同一套岩芯样品的地层因素与渗透率、压汞喉径均值、储层品质指数之间的实验关系,并分别与地层因素-孔隙度交绘图进行对比分析,发现储层渗透性与地层因素之间并非简单的单调函数关系,孔隙度相近但孔隙结构类型不同、渗透率差异明显的岩芯可以具有相近的地层因素,导电能力接近.在实验数据分析的基础上通过理论分析证明了这一实验关系的合理性,并指出孔隙度及导电能力相近的岩芯,其渗透率差异与喉径均值的平方比、孔隙曲折度及几何形态相关.  相似文献

首都圈数字地震台网覆盖京、津和河北中部,其中自2002年5月—2003年12新记录1级以上地震1186个,台站记录的纵、横波到时差约2~25 s。选取被5个以上台站所记录到的地震,震中位于网内或者网缘附近,计算其平均波速比。分析认为:(1)通过HYPODD修订震源位置,绝大多数震源深度在8~10 km,平均波速比所反映的是地壳上层的状态。(2)无论是从较长的时间尺度还是从较大的空间范围来看,平均波速比值都是非常稳定的。(3)平均波速比的可靠性有赖于较多的台站数目,以满足拟合精度的要求。少数台站的测定结果往往伴随较大的误差,单一地震的平均波速比值大幅度的涨落,不宜表征地壳介质性质的改变。  相似文献

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE COHERENT STRUCTURE OF THE TURBULENT BOUNDARY LAYER IN OPEN-CHANNEL FLOW     

Hongwu TANG  Yang XIAO 《国际泥沙研究》2003,(2)

1 INTRODUCTION The coherent structure of turbulence is the most important discovery of turbulence studies in the last several decades. The coherent structure is a joint spatial state (Liang, 1999). In this space, there exist all kinds of motions that are organized and related. Namely, strip structures, large vortical structures, and other organizing flows are present. In 1932, researchers found that turbulence wasn抰 a fully random phenomenon and came to realize that the repeated emergen…  相似文献
