What can the dihedral angle of conjugate-faults tell us?     

《Journal of Structural Geology》2015

Deformation within the upper crust (elastico-frictional regime) is largely accommodated by fractures and conjugate faults. The Coulomb fracture criterion leads us to expect that the average dihedral angle of conjugate-fault sets is expected to be ∼60°. Experiments, however, reveal a significant amount of scatter from this 60° average. The confining pressure under which these rocks are deformed is a contributing factor to this scatter.The Canyon Range syncline, Sevier fold-thrust belt (USA) and the Jebel Bani, Anti-Atlas fold-belt (Morocco) both folded under different depths, within the elastico-frictional regime, by cataclastic flow. Conjugate-fault sets assisted deformation by cataclastic flow. The Canyon Range syncline and the Jebel Bani are used here as natural examples to test the relationship between the dihedral angle of conjugate-faults and confining pressure. Variations is confining pressure are modeled by the difference in depth of deformation and position within the folds.Results from this study show that the dihedral angle increases with an increase in depth and within the hinge regions of folds, where space problems commonly occur. Moreover, the shortening directions based on the acute bisectors of conjugate-faults may not be accurately determined if the dihedral angles are unusually large or small, leading to incorrect kinematic analyses.  相似文献

The impact of aquifer stratification on saltwater intrusion characteristics. Comprehensive laboratory and numerical study

Laboratory experiments and numerical simulations were utilized in this study to assess the impact of aquifer stratification on saltwater intrusion. Three homogeneous and six layered aquifers were investigated. Image processing algorithms facilitated the precise calculation of saltwater wedge toe length, width of the mixing zone, and angle of intrusion. It was concluded that the length of intrusion in stratified aquifers is predominantly a function of permeability contrast, total aquifer transmissivity and the number of heterogeneous layers, being positively correlated to all three. When a lower permeability layer overlays or underlays more permeable zones its mixing zone widens, while it becomes thinner for the higher permeability strata. The change in the width of the mixing zone (WMZ) is positively correlated to permeability contrast, while it applies to all strata irrespectively of their relative vertical position in the aquifer. Variations in the applied hydraulic head causes the transient widening of WMZ. These peak WMZ values are larger during saltwater retreat and are negatively correlated to the layer's permeability and distance from the aquifer's bottom. Moreover, steeper angles of intrusion are observed in cases where low permeability layers overlay more permeable strata, and milder ones in the inverse aquifer setups. The presence of a low permeability upper layer results in the confinement of the saltwater wedge in the lower part of the stratified aquifer. This occurs until a critical hydraulic head difference is applied to the system. This hydraulic gradient value was found to be a function of layer width and permeability contrast alike.  相似文献

地震照明分析是在给定地下背景结构的情况下用模拟方法研究采集系统对地下结构的探测能力.对目标照明的影响主要来自观测系统的设置,上覆地质结构的复杂性以及目标倾角等三项因素.我们将上述因素的影响统一纳入到对照明的定量计算中.本文阐述了关于地震照明的一系列基本概念,并基于波动理论给出对不同类型照明的计算方法.首先将入射和散射波分解到局部角度域并导出局部照明矩阵,它包括了在目标附近所有可能的入射和散射方向对照明的贡献.从照明矩阵出发,研究入射和反射波在角度域中与反射面的相互作用,并由此获得对地下结构的不同照明描述.作为例子,具体给出了对局部照明矩阵,空间体照明,反射面定向照明,反射面照明角度覆盖,以及对反射面可视性的计算方法,并给出了相应的数值计算结果. 最后,讨论了照明分析方法在地震采集设计中的一些可能应用.  相似文献

基于单程波深度延拓算法,得到震源波场在成像点的入射角度,结合对地层倾角的估计,获得入射地震波与界面法线的夹角.通过运用"保幅"的反褶积成像条件和考虑累加的炮数,解决了炮点覆盖不均匀导致的成像幅值误差问题,进而建议了炮域波动方程叠前深度偏移直接产生角道集的方法和流程.与基于空间移动或时移成像条件的波动方程叠前深度偏移提取角道集的方法相比,本文建议的方法只需少量额外的存储空间,又可补偿观测系统非均匀覆盖对成像幅值的影响;其增加的计算量与炮域偏移算法相比几乎可以忽略.文中算例表明,本文方法提取的角道集可为叠前反演提供较精确的AVO振幅特性.此外,就改善地震成像效果本身而言,提取角道集使得可在波动方程叠前深度偏移中应用剩余动校和拉伸切除技术,从而可更好地保持高频成分并提高成像的信噪比.  相似文献   

Correct treatment of rotation of sliding surfaces in a kinematic model of the triple friction pendulum bearing     

Tracy C. Becker  Stephen A. Mahin 《地震工程与结构动力学》2013,42(2):311-317

This paper addresses the treatment of the rotation of the internal components of the triple friction pendulum (TFP) isolation bearing in a numerical model previously presented by the authors. The numerical model is based on the kinematic behavior of the individual sliding surfaces and the constitutive relationships between them. The modification suggested in this paper improves the performance of the model so that the results exactly match that of the one‐dimensional piecewise linear behavior previously derived for the TFP bearing for restricted properties. The improved numerical model simulates bidirectional shear response and places no a priori restrictions on the bearing properties. The modification is put in the form of a technical communication so that the notation used and the basis of the correction could be presented with adequate clarity and so that an example of the benefit of the correction could be presented.

Approximating peak responses in seismically isolated buildings using generalized modal analysis     

Tracy C. Becker  Stephen A. Mahin 《地震工程与结构动力学》2013,42(12):1807-1825

Although the ability to simulate accurately the detailed behavior of nonlinear isolation bearings and the effects of this nonlinearity on dynamic response of the isolated building is desirable, such detailed analyses are not feasible during initial design stages when bearing properties are being selected. However, it would be very beneficial to be able to estimate accurately key engineering demand parameters at the early stages of design to understand the dynamic response characteristics of the isolated structure and to balance and optimize the bearing and structural characteristics to achieve the performance goals set for the building. Unfortunately, classical modal response spectrum analysis methods do not provide accurate results for problems with large, nonclassical damping, as is characteristic of isolated buildings. To find a method capable of predicting peak building responses even with large nonclassical damping, generalized modal response spectrum analysis is implemented. The responses of several buildings having different heights and isolated by linear viscous as well as triple friction pendulum and single friction pendulum isolation systems are investigated. Generalized modal response spectrum analysis methods were found to give significantly better predictions for all systems compared with classical methods. The behavior of buildings isolated with single friction pendulum systems exhibiting sudden changes in stiffness could not be well predicted by either general or classical modal response spectrum analysis when effective damping was increased.

Slope control on the frequency distribution of shallow landslides and associated soil properties,North Island,New Zealand     

Ronald C. De Rose 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2013,38(4):356-371

The extrapolation of results from field trials to larger areas of land for purposes of regional impact assessment is an important issue in geomorphology, particularly for landform properties that show high stochastic variability in space and time, such as shallow landslide erosion. It is shown in this study, that by identifying the main driver for spatial variability in shallow landslide erosion at field scales, namely slope angle, it is possible to develop a set of generic functions for assessing the impact of landslides on selected soil properties at larger spatial scales and over longer time periods. Research was conducted within an area of pastoral soft‐rock Tertiary hill country in the North Island of New Zealand that is subject to infrequent high intensity rainfall events, producing numerous landslides, most of which are smaller than several hundred square metres in size and remove soil to shallow depths. All landslides were mapped within a 0·6 km² area and registered to a high resolution (2 m) slope map to show that few landslides occur on slopes < 20° and 95% were on slopes > 24°. The areal density of landslides from all historical events showed an approximately linear increase with slope above 24°. Integrating landslide densities with soil recovery data demonstrates that the average value of a soil property fluctuates in a ‘saw‐tooth’ fashion through time with the overall shape of the curve controlled by the frequency of landslide inducing storm events and recovery rate of the soil property between events. Despite such fluctuations, there are gradual declines of 7·5% in average total carbon content of topsoil and 9·5% in average soil depth to bedrock, since the time of forest clearance. Results have application to large‐scale sediment budget and water quality models and to the New Zealand Soil Carbon Monitoring System (CMS). Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献
