Characteristics of axially-sourced turbidite sedimentation on an active wedge-top basin (Annot Sandstone,SE France)     

《Marine and Petroleum Geology》2014

In order to develop viable depositional models for wedgetop basins, the control exerted by active structural relief on turbidite depositional patterns should be well understood at different scales (from limb slope to interconnected synclinal troughs). This is particularly the case for systems with axial sediment supply, for which little data are available. This paper presents a detailed field study of two depocentres in the Upper Eocene – Lower Oligocene Annot Sandstone of the alpine foreland basin of SE France, which was fed axially from the Corsica–Sardinia Massif to the south. The depocentres are partially preserved in a series of outliers. The Annot outlier preserves turbidites deposited on the gently dipping limb of an asymmetrical syn-depositional syncline, while, to the north, the NE Grand Coyer outlier preserves highly confined turbidites deposited on a steep and complex synclinal limb. Structural, stratigraphic and sedimentological data demonstrate that these turbidite depocentres were controlled by active folding and faulting, including oblique structures. Structural controls were more complex on the steep eastern synclinal limbs than on shallowly dipping western limbs. Integration of palaeocurrent data allow feeder pathways and their evolving interconnections to be traced between successive downstream depocentres in space and time. A 3D depositional model for axially supplied active wedgetop depocentres is proposed and compared to transversely fed wedgetop systems, particularly in terms of facies distributions and variations in reservoir quality. Axially supplied systems are marked by a higher lateral confinement and, as a consequence, are more sensitive to relief created by oblique structures. As a result facies distributions are more strongly controlled by (active or inactive) substratum relief than by intrinsic flow properties, leading to a higher potential for stratigraphic traps.  相似文献   

Seismic upgrading of old masonry buildings by seismic isolation and CFRP laminates: a shaking-table study of reduced scale models   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0

The efficiency of improving the seismic resistance of old masonry buildings by means of seismic isolation and confining the structure with CFRP laminate strips has been investigated. Five models of a simple two-story brick masonry building with wooden floors without wall ties have been tested on the shaking table. The control model has been built directly on the foundation slab. The second model has been separated from it by a damp-proof course in the form of a PVC sheet placed in the bed-joint between the second and the third course, whereas the third model has been isolated by rubber isolators placed between the foundation slab and structural walls. Models four and five have been confined with CFRP laminate strips, simulating the wall ties placed horizontally and vertically at floor levels and corners of the building, respectively. One of the CFRP strengthened models has been placed on seismic isolators. Tests have shown that a simple PVC sheet damp-proof course cannot be considered as seismic isolator unless adequately designed. Tests have also shown that the isolators alone did not prevent the separation of the walls. However, both models confined with CFRP strips exhibited significantly improved seismic behavior. The models did not collapse even when subjected to significantly stronger shaking table motion than that resisted by the control model without wall ties.  相似文献   

2D modelling of a dry joint masonry wall retaining a pulverulent backfill     

A. S. Colas  J. C. Morel  D. Garnier 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2010,34(12):1237-1249

This work focuses on an analysis of dry joint retaining structures based on yield design theory: the stability of the masonry is assessed using rigid block and shear failure mechanisms in the wall and its backfill. An application of this simulation on 2D scale‐down brick and wood models is then addressed, showing close agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental results. Further development on this work, including application of this theory on dry‐stone retaining walls, is discussed as a conclusion. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Behaviour of chromium VI in a multilayer aquifer in the industrial zone of Annaba,Algeria     

H. Khérici-Bousnoubra  N. Khérici  E. F. Derradji  C. Rousset  R. Caruba 《Environmental Geology》2009,57(7):1619-1624

Industrial wastewater is characterised by the presence of a great quantity of metallic micro-pollutants, among which chromium by its mobility, contaminates the surface and groundwater. The study of different aquifers within the area of Annaba (Algeria) shows extremely variable chromium concentrations in the unconfined aquifer (0–0.22 mg l⁻¹), which becomes practically null in dry period; on the other hand, they remain relatively constant in the deep confined aquifer (about 0.04 mg l⁻¹). To specify the mechanisms of chromium migration in the aquifer system, a study of space–time evolution of chromium concentrations in unconfined aquifer was undertaken, while considering the kinetics of diffusion in the deeper aquifer. Chromium, indirectly reduced microbiologically by sulphate-reducer bacteria in the upper aquifer, is likely to anticipate the auto-depuration capacity of the ground and to reduce the quality of groundwater.  相似文献

High-resolution analysis of submarine lobes deposits: Seismic-scale outcrops of the Lauzanier area (SE Alps, France)     

Thierry Mulder  Yannick Callec  Philippe Joseph  Cécile Robin  Tristan Salles  Jonathan Allard  Emmanuelle Ducassou  Brice Ferger  Vincent Hanquiez  Elodie Marchès  Sébastien Zaragosi 《Sedimentary Geology》2010,229(3):160-191

The Lauzanier area represents the northernmost extension of the Annot Sandstone series and contains deposits between 650 and 900 m-thick. This basin was active from upper Bartonian or lower Priabonian to early Rupelian. It is composed of two superposed units separated by a major unconformity. The sediment supply is due to channelled flows coming from the south. Flow processes include mass flow to turbidity currents. The size of the particles and the absence of fine-grained sediment suggest a transport over a short distance. The Lower Unit is made of coarse-grained tabular beds interpreted as non-channelled lobe deposits. The Upper Unit is made of massive conglomerates interpreted as the channelled part of lobes. These lobe deposits settle in a tectonically confined basin according to topographic compensation that occurs from bed scale to unit scale. The abrupt progradation between the lower and the upper unit seems related to a major tectonic uplift in the area. This uplift is also suggested by a change in the petrographic nature of the source and an abrupt coarsening of the transported clasts.This field example allows providing high resolution analysis for depositional sedimentary sequences of terminal lobe deposits in a coarse-grained turbidite system. The outcrop analysis shows the lateral evolution of deposits and the system progradation allows a longitudinal analysis of facies evolution by superposing on the same outcrops the channelled lobe system and the non-channelled lobe system. These results of high-resolution outcrop analysis can be extrapolated to results obtained on sedimentary lobes in recent deep-sea turbidite system that are either restricted to cores, or with a lesser resolution (seismic).  相似文献

Performance improvement studies of masonry houses using elastic post‐tensioning straps     

Ahmet Turer  Serra Zerrin Korkmaz  Hasan Husnu Korkmaz 《地震工程与结构动力学》2007,36(5):683-705

Unreinforced masonry houses are composed of building blocks with weak inter‐binding action between them which commonly possess low tensile strength. The principal tensile stresses generated by out‐of‐plane bending and in‐plane shear forces cannot be tolerated well and leads to heavy structural damage and brittle collapse beyond linear capacity of the material. Remedies such as externally applied mesh reinforcement and post‐tensioning improves post and pre‐cracking performances; however, yielding of reinforcement material or shortening of walls due to cracking causes loss of integrity and post‐tensioning force. This paper discusses a research programme on earthquake strengthening of masonry houses using post‐tensioning by elastomeric straps and related shaking table tests on 1/10 scale single storey rural dwelling models. The aim of the study is to assess the use and effectiveness of post‐tensioning rubber straps at several different configurations especially for houses with heavy earth roofs supported on wooden logs. Full‐scale application can be conducted using scrap automobile tyres, which might be implemented as an economic and environment friendly alternative strengthening technique for poor residents of low‐cost dwellings. The performance and validity of the proposed strengthening techniques were tested on 1/10 scale models using a simplistic shaking table. The structural performance of the reinforced models with vertical post‐tensioning rubber straps was significantly improved as compared to the original specimen; the results were even better when vertical and horizontal straps were used. Obtained results show promise for seismic strengthening using rubber straps for post‐tensioning. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献
