Uplift of certain abutment bearings during earthquake may be utilized as a safety mechanism for the protection of the bridge against excessive stress. For this reason design codes such as Eurocode 8 permit the uplift of such bearings under certain conditions. Uplift of an abutment bearing occurs when the torque at the deck end exceeds a critical value. Therefore the torsional stiffness of the deck, before or after concrete cracking, is an important factor. In this work realistic values for the cracked torsional stiffness of the bridge deck are estimated from a parametric study of typical thin-walled prestressed box girders, based on non-linear analysis of softened space truss models proposed in the literature. Moreover the interaction between bearing uplift and pier flexural response is investigated and recommendations for the seismic design of bridges are proposed, taking into account the possibility of uplift of abutment bearings before or after yielding of the piers.  相似文献   

Fluvial sequence pattern and its response of geomorphy in depression phase of rift basin: A case study of the Lower Member of Neogene Minghuazhen Formation in Shaleitian Uplift area,Bohai Bay Basin

The sequence classification is a difficulty of sequence stratigraphic study on rivers that are distal to coast area during the depression phase of rift basin. Based on the integrated analysis of logging,cores and seismic data,the case study shows that the Lower Member of Neogene Minghuazhen Formation in the Shaleitian Uplift area in the western Bohai Sea region corresponds to one complete third-order sequence which can be divided into four fourth-order sequences(i.e. SQm1-SQm4). Sedimentary hiatus,wide and shallow incised valley and amalgamated channel sand bodies are the main recognition of sequence boundaries in fluvial sequence stratigraphy of the study area. Each fourth-order sequence comprises low and high accommodation systems tracts. According to seismic sedimentological and quantitative geomorphological analysis,low-sinuosity rivers including braided river and low-sinuosity meandering river are well developed in the low accommodation systems tract,whereas the medium- to high-sinuosity meandering rivers are well preserved in the high accommodation systems tract. The change in the new creation of accommodation and the sediment supply exert a significant control on the stacked pattern within different systems tracts.  相似文献

与断层相关的假玄武玻璃被认为是地震化石,记录了地震发生过程和断裂机制的重要信息,对认识断层地震活动性具有重要意义.本文综合地表露头及汶川科钻（WFSD-1、WFSD-2）岩心研究,对映秀—北川断裂带南段彭灌杂岩中发育的假玄武玻璃进行详细的结构、构造及矿物成分分析.这些假玄武玻璃以断层脉和单个/网状贯入脉的形式产出,厚度由几毫米到数十厘米不等,与碎裂岩和超碎裂岩相伴生.显微结构观察发现假玄武玻璃中发育大量熔融特征构造,如港湾状熔蚀边、蜂窝状气孔构造、黏滞性流动构造以及针状、球粒状、羽状、纤维状、粒状等多种形态的微晶及微晶集合体,表明其为断层滑动摩擦熔融的产物,指示摩擦熔融润滑是断层滑动过程中最主要的弱化机制.同时热增压和机械润滑机制可能存在于断层滑动的不同阶段.此外,从野外和显微镜下都观察到假玄武玻璃脉具有浅灰、深灰、浅褐、棕褐色及黑色等不同的颜色,可能代表着不同程度的脱玻化作用,并且不同颜色有相互穿插交切关系,可能指示存在多期假玄武玻璃,也就是说,产生假玄武玻璃的大地震事件沿映秀—北川断裂带重复发生.最近的研究认为这些假玄武玻璃形成于晚三叠世时期地下~10—15 km深度.结合须家河组地层中发育的厚层断层泥和角砾岩,~180—280 m宽的映秀—北川断裂岩带是断裂长期活动演化的产物.作为龙门山地区最陡峭的地形边界,映秀—北川断裂带长期地震活动造成的地壳缩短加厚可能是龙门山快速隆升的主要原因.  相似文献

柴达木盆地东部周缘造山带内保存有较完整的晚古生代-早中生代沉积记录,但盆地内至今仍未发现二叠系-三叠系.为探讨柴东地区二叠纪-三叠纪有无沉积及隆升历史等关键地质问题,本文首先利用古温标法恢复晚海西-印支期剥蚀量,随后,通过物源分析法获得印支期柴东北缘隆升的沉积学证据.结果表明,印支运动前,柴东地区残留石炭系顶界面埋深普遍超过2500m,晚海西-印支期剥蚀量为2100~4300m,剥蚀量从南往北逐渐减小.柴东地区曾沉积了2000~3000m的二叠系-三叠系,随后被整体剥蚀.晚二叠世以来,随着古特提斯洋往北俯冲,盆地周缘开始隆升.早三叠世柴东北缘经历了一次快速隆升,先期的多套沉积地层与结晶基底被迅速剥蚀并为宗务隆南缘的隆务河群砾岩沉积提供物源.中三叠世海水往北和往东退出研究区.晚三叠世,松潘-甘孜地体强烈碰撞挤压使得东昆仑-柴达木地体下地壳显著缩短和增厚,柴东地区被整体抬升,并且形成了南高北低的古地貌格局,在古气候与水系作用下,二叠系-三叠系与部分石炭系被全部剥蚀并搬运至宗务隆、南祁连及松潘-甘孜一带.  相似文献   

黔中隆起的油气勘探壁垒——兼论海相碳酸盐岩烃源岩   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  

支家生 《海相油气地质》2006,11(3)

黔中隆起在地质构造上属于扬子地块的滇黔隆褶带,南华纪晚期初现雏形,震旦纪—奥陶纪为水下隆起,燕山运动使其整体抬高,喜马拉雅运动时急剧隆升,构造地貌长期相对隆起。地表油苗油样分析结果显示,在红外吸收谱图中缩合芳烃结构及含氧基团吸收明显,有机质热成熟度高,且遭受了氧化蚀变;震旦系以上地层大量暴露,地表水溶蚀下渗深度在黔西南地区可达3000～4000m;作为长期存在的古隆起,经历了多次抬升,直至挽近仍处于严重剥蚀阶段。地腹可能存在酸性岩浆热源使有机质过度热演化、保存条件不佳以及缺少勘探目的层,是黔中隆起油气勘探的三大壁垒。兼谈了碳酸盐岩烃源岩问题,认为形成大油气田的烃源岩主要是泥质岩系,“碳酸盐岩烃源岩”只是从属性的,分布在泥质烃源岩系的边缘或局部范围。  相似文献   

Maturity modelling integrated with apatite fission-track dating: Implications for the thermal history of the Mid-Polish Trough (Poland)     

M. Resak  U.A. Glasmacher  M. Narkiewicz  R. Littke 《Marine and Petroleum Geology》2010

The Mid-Polish Trough (MPT) is situated in the easternmost part of the Central European Basin System (CEBS) and stretches NW–SE across the Polish Basin. It was characterised by pronounced subsidence and thick sediment accumulation between the Permian and the Late Cretaceous. Late Cretaceous–early Paleogene basin inversion led to the formation of the Mid-Polish Swell (MPS). The study area is located within the Pomeranian segment of the MPT/MPS (NW Poland) and experienced up to 7 km Permian-Mesozoic subsidence. PetroMod 1-D modelling was performed on several well-sections in order to study Permian to recent burial-uplift evolution. The modelling was calibrated with new vitrinite reflectance (VR_r) data and allowed to constrain the magnitude of uplift and related erosion as well as provided a first overview of the temperature history. The base of the studied Permian–Mesozoic successions attained maximum burial depths of 4800–5400 m before the onset of the inversion, less than in the axial trough area. The thickness of pre- and most probably also syn-inversion Upper Cretaceous deposits is estimated as 300 m. Erosion associated with inversion processes removed between 900 and 1400 m of the Mesozoic sediments, i.e. 1000–1500 m less than in the most inverted central part of the trough. VR_r data suggest constant Permian–Mesozoic heat flows corresponding to present-day values (40–45 mW/m²). Apatite fission-track (AFT) ages modelled with the PetroMod module PetroTracks show a good fit with AFT ages directly measured on well samples, and further support the assumption of steady heat flow in the range 40–45 mW/m². Palaeotemperatures appear to have decreased towards the East European Craton margin, which is compatible with the present day distribution of heat flow. Thermal history modelling shows a relatively simple Permian–Mesozoic heat flow pattern in the Pomeranian segment of the MPT. Such a scenario implies that the present-day heat flow distribution has not changed essentially since Mesozoic times.  相似文献   

Simulation of the nonlinear dynamic interactions between waves, a submerged breakwater and the seabed     

Dong-Soo Hur  Chang-Hoon Kim  Do-Sam Kim  Jong-Sung Yoon   《Ocean Engineering》2008,35(5-6):511-522

This study employed direct numerical simulation to simulate the fully nonlinear interaction between the water waves, the submerged breakwater, and the seabed under differing wave conditions. In the numerical simulation, the laminar flow condition in the seabed was applied to evaluate the more exact fluid resistance acting on the porous media. Varying incident wave conditions were applied to the flow field resulting from the wave–structure–seabed interaction, and the variation in the pore water pressure beneath the submerged breakwater was investigated along the cross-section of the submerged breakwater. Structural safety and scouring were also considered on the basis of the numerical results for the flow field around the structure and the variation of the pore water pressure.  相似文献   

Design equations of uplift capacity of circular piles in sands     

《Applied Ocean Research》2019

Uplift capacity of circular piles in sands is one important design parameter for many pile foundations supporting important structures subjected to tensile forces. Even though a number of formulas based on the limit equilibrium or semi-empirical methods are proposed to predict the uplift capacity of piles in sands, there is a major limitation of the methods in obtaining the accurate predictions. In this paper, the computational limit analysis is employed to investigate the uplift capacity of circular piles in sands. The effects of the important variables including pile length and diameter, soil friction angle and unit weight, and roughness factor at soil-pile interface are examined extensively using the dimensionless parameters while the predicted failure mechanisms associated with the parameters are discussed and compared. Approximate statistical design equations of the uplift capacity of circular piles in sands are developed based on the numerically derived solutions and the existing experimental data. It is found that the proposed design equations provide the most accurate prediction of the uplift capacity of circular piles in sands as compared to the existing formulas.  相似文献   

Numerical modelling of pipe-soil interaction for marine pipelines in sandy seabed subjected to wave loadings     

《Applied Ocean Research》2019

Accurate assessment of pipe-soil interaction under cyclic wave actions is of pronounced importance for the stability analysis of submarine pipelines in sandy seabed. This paper presents a plane-strain numerical study on such a problem using a finite element program DBLEAVES, which incorporates an elasto-plastic soil model that is capable of capturing the cyclic mobility behavior of sandy soils under cyclic loadings. A detailed validation against analytical solution and model test results was provided to demonstrate the robustness of the present numerical model to mimic both pre- and post-liquefaction behavior of sands, before an extensive parametric study was introduced. It was found that the accumulation of excess pore pressure in the vicinity and far field of a pipeline was strongly affected by the existence of it, with an influential range of about two pipe diameters. The influences of wave and seabed properties (e.g. relative densities) on the uplift response of pipelines were then investigated, based on which an explicit model was developed to quantify the degradation effect of waves on the uplift bearing capacity of pipelines against thermally-induced buckling.  相似文献   

Luminescence chronometry and geomorphic evidence of active fold growth along the Kachchh Mainland Fault (KMF), Kachchh, India: Seismotectonic implications   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

George Mathew  Ashok K. Singhvi  Rama V. Karanth 《Tectonophysics》2006,422(1-4):71-87

The Kachchh region of Western India is a pericratonic basin experiencing periodic high magnitude earthquakes events. In 2001 a catastrophic seismic event occurred at Bhuj measuring M_w = 7.7. The epicenters of both the 1956 and 2001 earthquakes were along the Kachchh Mainland Fault (KMF), proximal to the eastern end of the Northern Hill Range (NHR). The latter is a topographic expression of an active fault related fold on the hanging wall, and is controlled by a south dipping blind thrust.The present study deals with the eastern sector of NHR and uses optical dating to reconstruct the chronology of tectonically caused incisions. Along the backlimb of the NHR, incision ages on, channel fills and valley fill terraces progressively decrease from  12 ka to 4.3 ka. This age progression along with geomorphic evidences (decrease in topographic relief, drainage capture and drainage migration across the fold nose) suggests an active vertical and lateral fold growth along the KMF. Optical ages suggest that during the Late Holocene, the average uplift rate along the eastern NHR was 10 ± 1 mm/a. Recent GPS based estimates on crustal shortening are  12 mm/a.The KMF and the South Wagad Fault (SWF) represent the bounding faults of a transtensional basin that formed during the initial rifting. This basin is termed as the Samakhiali basin. The compressive stresses on account of structural inversion from normal to reverse phase resulted in lobate-shaped anticlines along KMF and SWF zone. These anticlines subsequently coalesced and formed linked and overlap segments. The present study suggests that eastward lateral deformation across the eastern portion of KMF has continued and has now resulted in its interaction with a left step over transfer fault called the South Wagad Master Fault (SWMF). This implies an increasing transpersional deformation of the Samakhiali basin. We therefore, suggest that the eastward NHR ridge propagation along KMF resulted in the thrust faulting on the south dipping SWMF resulting in the Bhuj 2001 event. The increasing strain on this basin may cause enhanced seismicity in the future along the eastern KMF and Wagad region.  相似文献
